1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,119 Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys 3 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: Screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the 4 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian Brothers, Rob Phillips, 5 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: and Bill Jones. Brian, what have you seen from Washington's 6 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: defense through one week and some of the guys we've 7 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: seen in previous years that they've got that could be 8 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: key matchups for this team? Yeah, I think it starts 9 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: with Ryan Carrigan. With this front and Coach Garrett talked 10 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: about Ryan Carrigan and what you know, He's a guy 11 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: that he doesn't miss games. He's a relentless player. You 12 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: all the things, you all those things that you want 13 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: to say cliches, you want to talk about a player, 14 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: a defensive player, a rush player. Ryan Carrigan fits that mold, 15 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: and I feel like that the matchup with him and 16 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: Lyle Collins is one you have to keep an eye 17 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: on because I went back and watched the game last 18 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: year and he got Lyle Collins a couple of different times. 19 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: The big time was down on the goal line with 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: the sack, the fumble. They kind of got him in 21 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: a situation where they didn't block him as well, they 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: didn't handle the twist stunt as well. But then in 23 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: his first sack, though he got Lyle Collins has overpowered 24 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: him and was able to make the play. So Collins 25 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: has got to be ready for that. He's got to 26 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: be ready for that relentless type play through the echo 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: of the whistle. They just can't allow Ryan Carrigan to 28 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: make plays in this game, whether it's in the past 29 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: or the run. Ryan Carrigan could be a hard guy 30 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: to run to the outside of because he's long, he's 31 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: able to extend and he'll widen you. And then they've 32 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: got linebackers that can run the kid. They got Cole 33 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: Holcom from North Carolina had to make a start at 34 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: to Mike linebacker and did a really nice job in 35 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia game. So they got some guys in the 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: Stefens that can run Montes Sweat can run that the guy. 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: I think the biggest key for the Cowboys to make 38 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: sure they take it care of is to take care 39 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: of of Ryan Kerrigan. I think he's the one player 40 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 1: that can really cause problems with Without Jonathan Allen being 41 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: in the game. I feel like that's the best the 42 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: best shot for the Redskins to have some type of success. 43 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: And he didn't practice for them yesterday. It sounds like 44 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: he's week to week with a knee issue, so that 45 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: that would impact their d line. Jonathan Allen, Yeah, I 46 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: don't think he's not going to play in this game. 47 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: I don't think they if one of the great things. 48 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, we don't get this with the other teams, 49 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: but they send all their quotes and stuff too. I 50 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: don't know that I've never seen that before. So that's 51 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: a great thing. You know, they got Jay Gruden's he's 52 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: going through his injury report. He's talking about all his players, 53 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 1: and so you kind of get an idea. It looks 54 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: like that him and Geis are going to be guys 55 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: that are going to be, uh, you know, out of 56 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: this football games, like guys is getting a second opinion, Yes, 57 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: that and floor doctor Andrews. Yeah, because they've already said 58 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: he needs to have surgery to repair the torn meniscus. Yeah, 59 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: and which would keep him out probably two four, six 60 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: weeks something like that if he has it, so you 61 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: would imagine he's out, you know, And The other thing 62 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: with Jonathan Allen, and I know the depth charts different 63 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: on how they use guys, but his back their depth chart. 64 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: Caleb Brantley, he's not practicing either, Yeah, along with their 65 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: starting free safety Monte Nicholson. So they've got a few 66 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: injury problems. Jordan Reid's probably still not ready to go. 67 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: That'll be interesting to see. And then if Geist is out, 68 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: Colt McCoy we know is out. So yeah, they're getting 69 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: a little thin with Star Wars having problems. The Tim Settle, 70 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: who a veteran guy you know, is h He's a 71 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: guy that could play as an inside player in the 72 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: nickel or he could play as a defensive end. So 73 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: if they have to do something for Jonathan Allen, you know, 74 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: they've got this outside linebacker to Ryan Anderson that they'll 75 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: put his hand down on the ground as well. So 76 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: they've got ways to kind of make up for Alan. 77 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: But Alan did a really nice job last year being 78 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: very disruptive. You know, Connor Williams had some problems with 79 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: him in that football game. He's just one of those guys, 80 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: a very powerful guy, you know, a lot like to 81 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 1: Ron Payne, those guys, those big inside techniques, hard guys 82 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: to move, hard guys to They keep you square along 83 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and it makes it difficult for 84 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: the back to get a read for how they're going 85 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: to run the football. That's you know, with Zeke Yellow. 86 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: When he runs the ball, he's looking for creases, he's 87 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: looking for guys, he's looking for gaps, he's looking for 88 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: guys that get turned. It's very hard to turn these 89 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: Washington down lineman. Now, Philadelphia did have some success in 90 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: the second half of their game running the football with 91 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: that way, they were able to kind of get the 92 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: Redskins off balance a little bit with their game plans. 93 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: So h Cowboys offensive line up to the task should be. 94 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: But we'll see if in fact that they can get 95 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: some I think they're gonna need to run the ball 96 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: in this game, and it's gonna be talking about, oh, 97 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: balance and all that. It's again another cliche to say, 98 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: but I think to really set up what they want 99 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: to do to you know too, I think the Redskins 100 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: defensively are more disciplined than what the Giants were and 101 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: so you know, playing keys and all that, I think 102 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to have some success try and take 103 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: some of the pressure off press Scott, even though he 104 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: played great last week. Allow him some of those some 105 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: of those easier throws off that play action. If they're 106 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: actually running the football well and they're committed to stop 107 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: in the run. Yeah, I was gonna ask you what 108 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: you thought about this this Redskins defensive front, because I 109 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: think that's a deeper, more talented group than what the 110 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: Giants had. Sure, but from what you saw on tape, 111 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: because there's been a lot of talking about the Cowboys 112 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: defensive line needing more production after that first game Redskins, 113 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: you go back and look at it in a final 114 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: box score, they got four hits on the quarterback, one sack. 115 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: I think Wentz was like twelve or thirteen passing on 116 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: third down. Third down, Yeah, they weren't able to get 117 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: off the field. I think three big problems. Yeah, three 118 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: of us touchdowns came on third down. I'm sure they're 119 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: looking for more production and it depending on what you 120 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: think about the Philadelphia offensive line. I think it's very 121 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: similar to the Cowboys offensive line. When you start talking 122 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: about player for player, you know, if the fact that 123 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: they were able to protect a little bit better, this 124 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: team does have a legitimate pass rusher actually has two 125 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,799 Speaker 1: of them. I don't think the Giants too So Cowboys, 126 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: if they could protect like they do against the Giants 127 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: last week, that will open up so much for them 128 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: going against this Washington secondary. Plus they gave up one 129 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three yards rushing to Philadelphia. Yeah, so 130 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 1: in big chunks too, so that they were susceptible against 131 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: the run. And now you've got Zeke ready to go. 132 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: I bet there's no pitch count on him this game. 133 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: I don't think so, we'll think about it. He got 134 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: thirty seven snaps in the game. The game almost gets 135 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: you ready to play, more so than practice, And they 136 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: probably weren't expecting that many from him, but some of 137 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: the drives the way they unfolded, he was on the 138 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: field maybe a little bit more than they thought he might. 139 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: I guarantee. If it was a close game and they 140 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: didn't need to sit him in the fourth quarter, yeah 141 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: he had to play. I think so. But I bet 142 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: you don't. I bet you don't get thirty seven snaps 143 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: in practice in a week. Maybe in a week. Yeah, 144 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: he gets a lot of work. He'll surprise to you 145 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: how much work he does get done and I think 146 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: they're they're more mindful maybe this week because he hasn't 147 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: had a lot of snaps since OTAs in the mini games, 148 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: but they also want to make sure that Tony Pollard tready, 149 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: and they also want to make sure that Jamaez ol 150 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: Wally is ready. You know, the game almost prepares him 151 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: for the next game better than you know, three practices 152 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: he had, so you got to count that too. I 153 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: mean that somebody mentioned in the walk off, well this 154 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: would be six practices. But the game means something that 155 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: gets you ready to play again, So I bet he's 156 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: ready to go. Nothing like actually getting hit, right, yeah, 157 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: just hitting snaps and seeing it live, you know. So yeah, 158 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: let's go. What are your thoughts on Amari's another guy 159 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: some different circumstances, but coming off missing a month, did 160 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: you see anything different from him in terms of the 161 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: way he responded in the game and then coming back 162 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: this week. Is there any concern there for him or 163 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: did he look like himself? I thought he looked pretty 164 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: much like a Mariy Cooper. Yeah, in the game with 165 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: the coming off the heel field. You know what if 166 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: a Maury Cooper was out there working and not running 167 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: routes at full speed, and if he was running at 168 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: fifty percent or sixty percent routes and just kind of 169 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: getting an idea, getting timing and stuff like that, I 170 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: would be totally okay with that. I don't need a 171 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: Maury Cooper practicing in one hundred percent. I don't need 172 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: take that back. I don't need a Mariy Cooper running 173 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: his routes at one hundred percent. I just need a 174 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: Maray Cooper to kind of okay part of the game plan. 175 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: You know, Dak Prescott knows what a Maury Cooper can do. 176 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott knows if I throw the ball here, a 177 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: Mary Cooper is going to be there. I'd be very mindful. 178 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: I think a Mariy Cooper, as much as he wants 179 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: to go out there and run and be, you know, 180 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: be the guy that we all know he is, I 181 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: think he has to be very mindful of that because 182 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna practice. He wants to practice, he 183 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: wants to go out there, but I would be I 184 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: think he's also if you asked him, he would say, hey, Amara, 185 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: you running every route like it's one hundred percent, you know, 186 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: And he would probably say, well, you know, I'm mindful 187 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: of my situation out there and what I need to do. 188 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: I know I need to practice, but I also know 189 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: that I need to be careful how I practice. He 190 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: didn't no sense of aggravating that, you know. I mean, 191 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: if he's sitting over on the side, he's not. He's not. 192 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: He's resting it right, But being out there and actually 193 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: running the routes at least he kind of gets a 194 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: feel how things could be. I mean, he paid. He 195 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: played fifty two sixty eight snaps. Yeah, yeah, So it 196 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: wasn't like they regulated his snaps. They just at the 197 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: end probably said, Okay, you're done, you're out. We're up, 198 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: We're up twenty five points, right, don't need you out 199 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: there anymore. The same thing was Zach Martin. He told 200 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: us yesterday. Back responded, okay, coming out of the game, 201 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: he's They've got a plan for him. I think was 202 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: he limited yesterday, so you know, try to get him 203 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: throughout the season, get him ready to play, because that 204 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: back thing is something you don't want to linger as well. Um. 205 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: I think Jason Garrett, if he could stand that, I 206 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: know that better than anybody right now. I think if 207 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: if Jason Garrett would be really happy if he could 208 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: get his players through the padded practice of those guys 209 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: that are that are nicked up, a little bit of 210 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: banged up, and kind of get them work that way, 211 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: get them a little work in the heat and you know, 212 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: get their conditioning a little bit better. And then if 213 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: he has to manage a Thursday or Friday practice, he'll 214 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: be able to do that. That's a little bit more 215 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: allow the guys to kind of catch their feet, you know, 216 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: get their bodies back again. But that that Wednesday practice 217 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: is really really important him because he does take them 218 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: outside and he does work in the heat, and those 219 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: guys have to fight through that, so you know, all 220 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: the focus is really on that. And then okay, now 221 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: what do we need to do on Thursday and Friday 222 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: to make sure our guys are available Sunday. And that's 223 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: kind of what they did with Sean Lee, right. Yes, 224 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: he gets through the padded practice, the padded practice to support. 225 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: If you need Friday off, go ahead, worry about it. 226 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: Hunted you for Sunday. Yeah, so you got to be 227 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: careful with those things.

You guys, we 269 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: talked about concerns week one. Does some of those concerns 270 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: anything you know, I had? I had to concernative talk about. 271 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: We don't know what. Maybe we'll see what Kevin Moore, 272 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: what we'll see from him? You know, as far as 273 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: a play, Clark kind of had an idea of watching 274 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: practice and stuff. I like the way how aggressive he 275 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: took advantage of the situation though, But did any of 276 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: those concerns that you might have had in week one? 277 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: Is it's still a concern for you? I know it 278 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: was a great victory, a great dominating victory against the Giants, 279 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: But was there anything that you thought about the earliest 280 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: season that you said, Okay, well I'm still kind of 281 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: seeing this a little bit. Well, we got him. We 282 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: talked about the run defense a couple of days ago. 283 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: We have a mailback question on it on the Sea 284 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: on the run defense. I personally think this will get 285 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: tightened up, but I understand people's concerns because it goes 286 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: back to the rams. It goes back to the Colts 287 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: in December. And I will say this, I think sae 288 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: Quon Barkley is a tough draw. He's the best back 289 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: they're going to play in my opinion. Yeah, and you 290 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: get him in week one and we were tackling poor crackling. 291 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: I mean we were talking Layton Vanderesh on Friday and 292 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: he was so excited about the op he called it 293 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: an great opportunity. Pounded his fist right off the bat 294 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: to figure out where we are with our tackling right 295 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: coming out of camp. I think that's a tough draw 296 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: for a team that you don't get a lot to 297 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: do with that do a lot of that in preseason. 298 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: It's not an excuse, but I think it's something they 299 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: can tighten up with as much talent as they have 300 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: on this defense. I'm not that worried about it. But look, 301 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson's a there's no doubt about. Am I wrong 302 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: though about trying to have the balance to talk about 303 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: having the running game? Or is or am I do 304 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: I need to think that now? Dak Prescott, Yeah, you 305 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: could load the wagon on him and he'll carry the 306 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: load for you. Is offensively? Do you okay? That's a 307 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: good question because you know, to me, if if that's 308 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: the case, then you know then everybody's gonna say, well, 309 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: you shouldn't have paid Ezekiel. But I'm one of these 310 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: guys that believe you should have paid Ezekieler. I'm glad 311 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: they did. I really am. I think he's important, But 312 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: am I am I going to be wrong at the 313 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: end of the day about Wow, Dak Prescott can carry 314 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: the load. Yeah, he could shoulder, he could throw the 315 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: ball forty times a game, and this team will be okay. 316 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: All right, So back to the running thing. I just 317 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: did my math real quick. The Giants only ran the 318 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: ball seventeen times. They had one hundred and fifty one 319 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: yards and the score had so okay, so I'm going 320 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: to take away the fifty nine, right, So now it's 321 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: sixteen for ninety two. Right, that's almost six yards of carry. Sure, 322 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: that's what I said yesterday. They were productive beyond just 323 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: the big run. So it wasn't the fact that you know, 324 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: they didn't they gave up on the run or whatever. 325 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: They still had one hundred and fifty one yards rushing 326 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: and they've already given up a hundred yard rusher last 327 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: year there was three over sixteen games. Now you're one 328 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: for one. Yeah, so yeah, I still think was that 329 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: your concern? Was that your biggest concern coming out of 330 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, because I had written down all the 331 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: other concerns I had, uh going going into the game. Um, 332 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: I talking Dak step up and yeah, exactly, Okay, okay, 333 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: check mark that. Yeah, with the run defense, are you 334 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: seeing things from that Giants game that were similar to 335 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: Rams playoff games? I saw a gaping hole for se 336 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: Quon Barkley on the second snap of the game. Yeah, 337 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: and that was that was a gap issue, right, and 338 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: this communication pre snap really well, I gap issue was 339 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: the linebackers were in the wrong gap. But all I 340 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: know on that outside there once they hit hit Tyrone 341 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: Crawford with a double team, that was nobody was again 342 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:11,239 Speaker 1: the alley at all. So yeah, I gotta seat. Let 343 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: me ask you this though, Okay, going in though this 344 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: game plan, if you were the Redskins, do you say, Okay, 345 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna run the football until Dallas proves 346 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: they can stop from from that happening? Is that is 347 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: that going to be something? I mean, if you're the 348 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: if you're the Cowboys. Do you have to go into 349 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: this game plan thinking it's not gonna be out case 350 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: Keena maybe throwing the ball like he hit, didn't you know, 351 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: the long passes to uh to Terry McLaren, you know, 352 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: and people like that is it is? It just turned 353 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: around and handed the ball to Adrian Peterson until Dallas 354 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: finds a way to stop this running game. I mean, 355 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: didn't he have a hundred yards last year? He did, 356 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: and it was the second game he ran well, well, 357 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 1: it was the fourth game of the year. I mean 358 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: the first time they Yeah, no, I was with Ambar Garcia. 359 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: She broke down some stuff for some most Cowboys, and 360 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: there was a couple of plays that I pulled for 361 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: that of they're running the inside the inside zone, just 362 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: straight handoff, you know, inside handoff, and I mean there 363 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: are white jerseys on blue jerseys across the board. And 364 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: now there's that hole that Mickey's talking about, that gaping hole, 365 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: and it's Tank Lored's having to run all the way 366 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: from the back side as the play has gone for 367 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: twenty yards. You know, I think that the Cowboys have 368 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: got to be aware of gap control, playing your technique, 369 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: getting off blocks because if the Redskins could figure out 370 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: that they can run the football by just going up 371 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: and getting hats on hats with Adrian Peterson. This could 372 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: be a long day for them. I mean, it could 373 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: be a long day, But it also could be a 374 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: long day for the Redskins having to deal with the 375 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: Zeke Ellott and the passing game and all that exactly. 376 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: I mean that Mickey pointed out the score affected to 377 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: some degree how much Barkley was involved in that game, 378 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: and that's gonna you know, if the Cowboys can get 379 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: off to a good start, that's gonna impact Peterson. Oh 380 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: did it clearly? Did it clearly affected the way that 381 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: it came down to the Giants having to throw the football, 382 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden and you know, Barclays 383 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: so when the sidelights talking to his coaches like, why 384 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: am I not in the game? Well, you're not in 385 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: the game because we don't want to risk you getting 386 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: you know, hurt in one of these this, you know, 387 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: when it's out of hand like it is. But if 388 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: that game was tight, and and what happens every time 389 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: that we go play at that FedEx field, it's a 390 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: tight game, it's a it's never easy, and you know 391 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: it's not easy for the Redskins either. No, it's not. 392 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: You know, they've they've had their they've had their issues too. 393 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: It came down to really a bad call and a 394 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: misfield goal at the very end. But there's sacks, there's fumbles, 395 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: their interceptions on both sides. There's tip balls, there's Dak 396 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: Prescott trying to get a quarterback sneak for a first down, 397 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: ball gets punched loose. You know, there's a lot of 398 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: things that happened in these these games that you don't 399 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, you're kind of like, well, okay, that that 400 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: could have been very well. The difference of the game 401 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: right there, there may be rain in the forecast, and 402 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: in the forecast both teams maybe having to run the 403 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: football a little more. Yeah. So they got this little 404 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: category here tackles for losses. I had a chance for 405 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: a couple. I know that there's no name on that list. Yeah. Yeah, 406 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: that means they didn't have any. Yeah, right, So the 407 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: person that was criticizing me about the reason the defensive 408 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: line didn't have a lot of tackles because all they 409 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: did was throw the ball. Yeah, well okay, but they 410 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: ran the ball sixteen times other than the long one 411 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: for ninety two yards. Somebody's got to make those tackles. 412 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: I too make you. I'm with you. I never felt 413 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys had a real control over that. When 414 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: they handed the ball to twenty six. I felt like 415 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: it was a four or five yard shot and maybe 416 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: they had a chance for a tackle for a loss. 417 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: I believe with Anthony Brown. I mean, and that's a 418 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: defensive back. Anthy Brown comes up, doesn't wrap up, and 419 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: then you get a spin in an eight yard game. 420 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: They did force three fumbles. Yeah, they did get two 421 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: of those. That did good thing they did. They did 422 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: get off the field eleven out of thirteen times. I mean, 423 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't all bad defensively, But you guys are right. 424 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's not the it's to me. 425 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: You could say what you want about the pass rush 426 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: because of Manning getting rid of the football. That's fine. 427 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: I feel like that they could play good pass defense. 428 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: I feel like the pressure will come. But if teams 429 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: or have the ability to run the football on you 430 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: and control the game that way, you know, and they 431 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: make it all manageable. I mean, you get you get 432 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: this quarterback in those situations where it's second and four 433 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: second and three second and five all day, He's gonna 434 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: look like an all Pro quarterback. And that's the thing 435 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,239 Speaker 1: I worry. I mean, I worry on early downs. How 436 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: can the Cowboys win on those early downs? That's gonna 437 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: be key for them in this game, you know. And 438 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: the other thing is is what you hope? What you 439 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: hope was the Rams game was one of those things? Yeah, 440 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: but was it a blueprint for other people to say, oh, 441 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: that's how we run against the Cowboys, or what Indianapolis 442 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: did or you just draft sa Quon Barkley with the 443 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: first overall pick and Yeahiais didn't. Yeah, I mean, I 444 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: will point out DeMarcus Lawrence gets thirty two snaps out 445 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: of sixty nine, and no question, Robert Quinn's not back yet. 446 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: But how about those backup guys? We always talk about 447 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: the backup guys. I mean, Broughts will sit there and 448 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: tell you, Brian Bross will tell you. Here I'm talking 449 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: the third person again, but Brian Bross will tell you like, oh, hey, rotation, 450 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: big rotation, rotational players. That's all I ever talk about. 451 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: The rotational players. Did they really get the job done? No? 452 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: They really didn't. It was a game in hand. Yeah, 453 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: but did the rotational players when all they knew they 454 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: had to do was play pass? Did they Did they 455 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: do enough? And and no the answers no there. So 456 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: I think overall, defensively, you would have to say, okay, 457 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: what was the blemish here? Yeah, they gave up yards, 458 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: which they're okay with. But you know, if they play 459 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: somebody that can you know that could their defense is 460 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: better than it comes a tight game, Well, they could 461 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: have some more problems here. So you asked about questions 462 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: going in by Yeah, the different deals. Yeah, we gotta 463 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: go to a break. No, keep going tithing, I was saying, 464 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: so we mentioned Dak. The other thing was Amari's foot right, 465 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: Check nothing wrong there? Yeah. Yeah, we've been saying Michael 466 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: Gallups ready to take the next step? Right? Check nothing there? 467 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: Can Randall Cobb do the job and replace Cole Beasley? 468 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: Check right there? Uh? And he worries about Kellen Moore 469 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: now because he's now the next boy wonder. Yeah, he's right, 470 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: he is, he is Bill Walsh right, what would what 471 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: would Jason Witten do? And would he get in the 472 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: way of Jaring? No? No, no, And yet yes, and no. 473 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: You know, he was fine, and he didn't get in 474 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: the way of Jarwin. By the way, I was going 475 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: to mention that snap. This not disparity, the distribution of 476 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: snaps between the two of them. Jarwin got twenty seven 477 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: and Witt got forty five, so we'll see, I mean 478 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: little Schultz get any um nine nine okay out of 479 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: sixty eight. So those were the thing. And then the 480 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: other one was Frederick How how was he going to do? Guys? 481 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: That how you guys thought he looked in the game? 482 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: I think he was fine. Pass protection, film was fine. 483 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: If he was helping out where he needed to help out. 484 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: You know, again, it's about it's about getting in positioned, 485 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: it's about securing blocks, it's about helping Connor Williams when 486 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: you can. And he did all those things. Zach Martin back, fine, Tyran, Fine, 487 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: you didn't notice Connor Williams in the game? Yeah you 488 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: will this week though, Yeah, Well, I mean I better not. Yeah, yeah, Payne. Yeah, 489 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 1: So all those things. Those were kind of the questions 490 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: going in. We really didn't have a lot of questions 491 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: on defense, and then we come out of the game 492 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: and now we got questions on the defense.

You got about ten minutes left 553 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: in the show. Dak Prescott, Dak Prescott, Bryan you mentioned 554 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: I think we're talking about potential concerns. Are we seeing 555 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: trends after one game? Potentially? What about that with Dak? 556 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: Do you think it's reaching a point where if he 557 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: needs to shoulder the load fully he can do it? 558 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: Although twenty one is back. Yeah, I'll tell you what, though, 559 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: this might be a game where if they do shut 560 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: down the run being the Redskins, that we're gonna have 561 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: to see Dak potentially put it up a bunch. You know, 562 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they want to do that. Me, Nate 563 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: and I do the post games show. We and we 564 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: always look at the stat line when the Cowboys win, 565 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: and we love the stat line when Dak is twenty 566 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: two of twenty nine for two hundred and fifty two 567 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. Yeah, we just I love that. 568 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: That's like and then you know you got to zeke 569 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: Yellott with one hundred yards and you know, you know, 570 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: but you've you've got that balance and then you've got 571 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: to win. But I think after last week, you know, 572 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: the people like myself, they're saying, wait a minute, maybe 573 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: this guy can shoulder the load. Maybe he can be 574 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: with the weapons that he has, maybe they don't have 575 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: to run the football as successfully as they do. I 576 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: think it helps them in the play action game because 577 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, to me, when you talk about quarterbacks in 578 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,959 Speaker 1: the league that are really good as ball handlers and 579 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: then getting rid of the ball from that to draw 580 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's the boots, the waggles, the play 581 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: action stuff, anything that he could do with ball handling 582 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,719 Speaker 1: and then get the ball out is a real plus 583 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: for him. But maybe we're starting to see where now 584 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, it's gonna be able to shoulder the load, 585 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: where if he has to throw that ball thirty five 586 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: forty times, that in fact he could do it and 587 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: do it with some success in his team can win 588 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: with him playing that way. Better ingredients, better pizza, don't 589 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: say it, better players, better quarterback. Yeah, there you go. 590 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: Michael Irvin made a really good comment yesterday when he 591 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: was on the fan. He said, finally they got receivers 592 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: that are Dak receivers. These aren't Tony Romo receivers where 593 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna throw a lot of fifty fifty balls up 594 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: and they're gonna go get him, Dak, receivers who are 595 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: gonna run precise routes and be where they're supposed to 596 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: be when they need to be there. And he can 597 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: throw the ball on time then, but before he's not 598 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: trusting guys and he's holding the ball of Marie Cooper 599 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: great routes, right, Randall Cobb, we know what he can do. 600 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: And now Michael Gallup's no longer a rookie, so to me, 601 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: that makes a lot of difference in his play. Now, 602 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: on the other hand, how many times are you going 603 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: to get two touchdown passes when the defense blows the 604 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: coverage and they don't cover the guy? Right, no one covered. 605 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: They didn't do anything fancy on Jarwin's touchdown. Now, he 606 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: just ran straight down the field and all of a 607 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: sudden the Giants looked up and go, oh, some fare 608 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: supposed to have him. In fact, Dak said, that's a 609 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: play that Witton really has liked for a while, and 610 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: it was like, oh, Witton's not in the huddle, He's 611 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: not gonna like this because we're dialing it up for Jarwin. 612 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: But I didn't do anything. It wasn't like he even 613 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,959 Speaker 1: faked the block. He just went straight and then Randall 614 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: Cop shot football. The cop comes out of the slot. 615 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: There there's no motion. They're in three wide and no 616 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: one took him, no one, no one guarded him. So 617 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: you know now that they might have been guilty because 618 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: their two safeties were doubling the outside guys. But still 619 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: they didn't do anything. So how many times in the 620 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: game's that going to happen? Well, maybe, you know, it's 621 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: a good point. I like what the playmaker said about that. 622 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: By the way, it's a great point on his part. 623 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: But maybe maybe this these players, maybe the fact that 624 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: you have Cooper, Cop, Gallop, Witten, you know, maybe the 625 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: fact that you have all these guys on the outside 626 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: Jarwin occasionally did put so much pressure on a secondary 627 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: that that the adjustments they make are wrong. You know, 628 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: they're they're trying so much. Okay, who do you try 629 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: and stop in this? You know, third down? Who were 630 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: gonna stop here? We're gonna take Gallop out of the game. 631 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna take Cooper out of the game. We're gonna 632 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: take Cob out of the game, and then all of 633 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: a sudden, well maybe we'll see more busts because of 634 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: people trying to gamble on who to take out of 635 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: a game, and then it exposes another area of a 636 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: defense's weakness. You know, I wrote this earlier. I'm not 637 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: sure that Greg Manuski is going to travel Norman. I mean, 638 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't. I haven't seen it. It's 639 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: not traditionally something he does, but it could be a 640 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: situation where he says, you know what, I've got to 641 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: try and I got to try and take somebody away here. 642 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: I've got to try, and you know, and hope, you know, 643 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: and hope that Landon Collins and Quinn and Dunbar and 644 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: those guys can hold up. You know, that's that's gonna 645 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: be the trick for them. I mean, they again, they've 646 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: got a rookie. This Jimmy Morland is playing the nickel 647 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: for them. They got a rookie playing the nickel. What 648 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: do we see? Last week the Giants had a rookie 649 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: playing corner. Baker was part of the you know, DeAndre Baker, 650 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: and it was a terrible game for him. Wasn't Moreland 651 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: and coverage on the Deshaun Jackson touchdown. Yeah, so yeah, 652 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: I mean they were, they were running vertical roulets and stuff, 653 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,239 Speaker 1: and so yeah, I mean, Manowski could be in some 654 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: problems because and Josh Norman is not what Josh Norman 655 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: was five years ago. He's not, but he's still I 656 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: think the best defender they have in the secondary. And 657 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: it might, you know, and even now detaching Witton, we've 658 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: seen Landing Collins in the past go with Witton when 659 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: he was with the Giants. You know, Witt has had 660 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: some big games against the Giants and Landing Collins and 661 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: those guys. So I think that maybe to Mickey's point, 662 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: you know, busts maybe because of trying to deal with 663 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: so much on the outside. Now. Amari said it yesterday, 664 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: it's a defense's worst nightmare to have to contend with 665 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: a lot of different guys making plays. And I think 666 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: you wrote about this. I said it on the pregame show. 667 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: If if they're gonna Giants are gonna show extra attention 668 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: to Amari, Michael Gallop could have a big day. We 669 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: absolutely yeah. She kind of saw the opposite at times, 670 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: Gallop electra attention on him Marian single coverage. So we'll 671 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: see the other protection in this game, though it's got 672 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: to be protected. We saw a good protecting. It was 673 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: as clean as you could expect. You give this guy 674 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: the opportunity to look at one or two players and 675 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 1: find a Cob winning a Gallup, winning, a Cooper winning 676 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: a Witt and winning, he's gonna make the right decision 677 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 1: to get the ball out. I mean think about it. Okay, 678 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: Satan Norman, you're gonna put him on a Mari, right, 679 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna double callup? Yeah, okay, who's got the slot? Yeah? 680 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 1: And there their guy that's listed on the depth chart 681 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: as the first guy, Fabian Morrow. He's he's been injured. Yeah, 682 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't even it's Jimmy Yeah. No, if he didn't play, 683 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 1: it's Jimmy morland Is who's gonna play. Yeah. So now 684 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: you get to Cob one on one with a rookie. Yeah. 685 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: And then who's taking the tight end? Yeah, that's probably 686 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: Landing College, right, that's probably so. But it's hard to 687 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: double somebody if they if that guy's on Witten, then 688 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: you can't. Where's the other safety going protect? You got 689 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: nobody in safety? Yeah, because if you think about it. 690 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: On Cooper's touchdown, they got Cooper in single coverage on 691 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: Baker because they had one safety coming down. They were 692 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: thinking they're gonna blitz and the other safeties in the 693 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: middle of the Philly he couldn't get there in a 694 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: twenty yard twenty one yard pass. A little bit of 695 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: chicken in the egg too, because protection obviously key. Better 696 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 1: defensive front this week, although I think you're seeing better 697 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: separation from receivers than we certainly saw at the beginning 698 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: of last year. Where much better. Jack's getting the ball out, 699 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: Like Zach Martin said there a couple of times, was 700 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: like we had to help hold our block for like 701 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: a split second, the balls out and we're good. Well 702 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: how about this, how about how about having your all 703 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: pro center back which helps tremendously, and how about an 704 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: improving right tackle, and how about a stronger left guard 705 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: so the protection could very well be there with everything 706 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: that we I just talked about with all the we 707 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: know what we have with Tyrett Smith, who you know 708 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: what you have with Zach Martin. Now you got Travis 709 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: Frederick backet there in the middle. The calls to help 710 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: all that stuff like that, so people could have a 711 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: hard time rushing rushing this team, and that could be 712 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: a problem because Dak if he's got protection, We've seen it, 713 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: he'll light you up. Three of the top four receivers 714 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: in the game in the opener last year. Name them. 715 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: Oh it is Thompson, Hearns, and Beasley. All right, Thompson, Hearns, Beasley, Terrence, 716 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: William Terrence. I wasn't accounting Beasley, Okay, yeah, three of 717 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: the four tavon Austin, they had a five or six 718 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: man They went from an absolute dumpster fire too, Like, 719 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you just maybe hit them up out here. Yeah, yeah, 720 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: better ingredients, better offense. All right, definitely more stable there 721 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: in the receiving. I'm gonna use that too. By the way, 722 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: feel free to write fair enough you miss it on 723 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: mix shops yesterday. I was saving it for tomorrow. All right. 724 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: Thanks you guys for joining us.
