1 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: for a break. Yeah, and so much for that. It's 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hey, guys, 7 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of The Break. We're back here 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: live the cold. The weather is really really cold, but 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: the guys are still out there practicing. But before we 10 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: get into injured players and who was at practicing? Who wasn't? 11 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: How about Layton Vendors with winning NFC Defensive Player of 12 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: the Week. Anyone surprised Roe rookie defensive player, right, No, no, no, 13 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: it was a defensive player, defensive player of the league. 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: The Wolf Hunter. Oh yeah for him, huge nineteen nineteen 15 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: tackles busy how many plays? How total plays with it? 16 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: So that's like a maybe a third. I don't know. 17 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,639 Speaker 1: I'm just saying like maybe a third, maybe a quarter? 18 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: You know, the interception he had was it helped I'm 19 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: sure it helps the stat line, but I mean, and 20 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: that was a that was a nice play in the 21 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: game for him led to a field goal. But I'm 22 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: just it was the tackles. I think it was being 23 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: all over the place and it was that late tackle 24 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: that kind of helps seal the win. Actually, I think 25 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: it's the opposite. I think the interception is what gets 26 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: you noticed and then it's like, oh crap. He also 27 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: had nineteen tackles, yea, and oh wow, he made the 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: play of the game at the inter collins Worth probably 29 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: helped him, yeah, because I think I said that Monday. 30 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: It's like, which no disrespect. The interception was like the 31 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: least impressive of the big plays. He made. The tackle 32 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: on the third and the five yard loss was amazing, 33 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: way way more impress than the pick in my opinion. 34 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: It definitely helps, though, when when you're looking around the 35 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: league and when other guys they got submitted like what 36 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: about our guy? I had two picks and six tackles, 37 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: and you know, like this guy had nineteen tackles and interception, 38 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: Like okay. It definitely helps your stat line. You want 39 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,839 Speaker 1: to have, you know, things, all those kind of things 40 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: in big games or nationally televised games. I'm talking about 41 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: the interception and the big and the final tackle. Those 42 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 1: two things are the things that get you into Pro 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: Bowl consideration, that kinds get on the ballot. But yeah, 44 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: kind of strange. First first rookie since Sean Lee, which 45 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: is you know, ironic since he's replacing Sean Lee in 46 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: the lineup and everyone thinks he is the next Sean Lee. 47 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: First rookie since Sean Lee to win that award for 48 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Wow. For very impressive, especially with him being 49 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: your first round pick. That is the kind of stuff 50 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: you want to see from the guy that you choose 51 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 1: in the first round. Yeah, and not how to wait 52 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: for some kind of development, which like going back to 53 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: for example, tackle Charlton when he was first elected and 54 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: the kind of growth he had to make there and 55 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: he's speaking of him to make still yeah, yeah, well 56 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: he made something improvement, but it's still but for those 57 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: people and if there were some out there, if there 58 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: were if there were people out there that questioned the 59 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: pick on Layton Vanderesh, and then I think that they're 60 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: getting proved wrong just by every game. So yeah, good 61 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: of you to admit that I didn't like the pick. 62 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't really and mainly because it was 63 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: like it was already out there Brian basically said that 64 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: was going to happen like three somebody else three four 65 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: months months. It was way out there, and it was like, 66 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: give me somebody different, you know, somebody that's played more 67 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: than one year of football at Mountain West. I wanted 68 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: someone else, but wrong, I don't want to Darwin James 69 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: up until he got selected, And when he got selected, 70 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: was like, whatever, you're fine with that, Let's take who 71 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: you want to. And I wanted Darwin James. But if 72 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: you're not gonna take them one and we'll talk. I think. 73 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: I guess today I'll talk about Ridley and like a 74 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: lot of people wanted him, and and he's done some 75 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: great things too. And you can make the argument would 76 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: they have would you have done as well? Here? But man, 77 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: you hard argue what they've done, especially with no one 78 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: that Sean's been hurt twice. I mean that's good foresight. 79 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: I mean it has worked out even more beautifully than 80 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: I think even they would have predicted. I actually had 81 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: that conversation with somebody their day. I was like, clearly 82 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: y'all thought this would happen, but I don't know if 83 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: anybody could have predicted it would happened this fast. Yeah, 84 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: and perfect timing, I guess, especially with what goes on 85 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: with Sean Leeve, but also Jalen Smith and the time 86 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: that he finally was able to step up and start 87 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: playing at a higher level than obviously what we were 88 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: expecting for him to hopefully get to. Now we're seeing 89 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: that in the combination of him and Layton together clearly 90 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: and makes an explosive team and a risky move for 91 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys that offseason because they decided to let Hitchens 92 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: go and hope that Jalen Smith turns the corner which 93 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: he has, and hope to get some help in the draft, 94 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: even though you didn't know you're gonna go first round, 95 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: but just hope to get somebody that's able to help. 96 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: And they were able to do that. So you know, 97 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: the thing I love the most about these two is 98 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: that they're both bigger guys. They're big linebackers. So if 99 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: you can if that can translate into them being healthy, 100 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: relatively healthy, Like a lot of people will try to 101 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: compare a duo like that to the one there in 102 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: Carolina with Keikley and what's the guy's named Davis, Yeah, 103 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: and the difference there is at Keikley tough, part about 104 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: Kickley is that he has a lot of injuries, Like 105 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: he's a guy that that tends to be injured a lot. 106 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: If these guys, because of their size, can manage to 107 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: stay healthy, I think they have possibilities. I mean, the 108 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: possibilities are endless with how good they can be for 109 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: this team for quite a while. I think those two 110 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: are better at past coverage. Davis I believe, was a 111 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: safety at Georgia. I mean I believe or at least 112 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: he's kind of the tweenier type guy. So they're really 113 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: good and in the past and we've seen Kicklely make 114 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: great interceptions and stuff like that. But but yeah, you're right, 115 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: these guys are more physical run stoppers, and I think 116 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: they're just as athletic. Maybe not maybe have to develop 117 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: that part of their game, but I think they're very athletic. 118 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: This is all. This is not even this is tangentially 119 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: related to that. But just thought about it because you 120 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: brought up Anthony Hitchins. I don't think we talked about it. 121 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: The club decision to release Deonte Thompson on Friday. They 122 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: are in line to now get a comp pick back 123 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: because of that. I'm not going to sit here and 124 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: try to sort out the math with you. But I've 125 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: talked to people in the building, which and this is 126 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: a rumor that's gone around for like a month or 127 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: so now that you know you brought in Thompson as 128 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: a free agent, so you're always weighing who did you 129 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: lose and who did you gain? And how much money 130 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: did the guys you lost get and how much money 131 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: did you pay whatever. Like I said, I can't make 132 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: sense of the formula. But point being, Deonte Thompson is 133 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: off the roster by the start of week ten, which 134 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: means they officially brought in fewer than they lost. And 135 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: because Anthony Hitchin signed such a big deal, the Cowboys 136 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 1: are fairly confident that they're going to get a fourth 137 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: round pick back for that contract. Now that would be huge, 138 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: and they're at least somewhat optimistic that they might even 139 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: get a sixth too, So you know, you wonder about that. 140 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: That's part of the reason why this is huge. Yeah, 141 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: So again, no, even I don't think even the guys 142 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: on the football side of the building completely understand the 143 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: comp pick formula. Like the NFL, it's a hush hush deal. 144 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: But but the Cowboys are in line to get at 145 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: least one, if not two, picks back because of that. 146 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: Which so that's big now, asked Stephen Jones two weeks ago, 147 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: why are we seeing more trades? What? What? What is 148 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: the reason? He said, it's because we're starting to understand 149 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: the compensatory pick scale a little bit more and understand 150 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: about how you can make this trade and you're gonna 151 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: lose the player, but you probably will get to pick. 152 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: You know, or you or you'll you know, you'll lose 153 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: the pick, you'll get the player, but you'll get the 154 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: pick back. That's kind of what Philly did with Golden Taint. 155 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: So that understanding the compensatory thing is kind of changing 156 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: some of this. It's pretty good though. Yeah, we haven't 157 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: talked about safety in a while, so let me bring 158 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: it up. Um clearly in a position that still needs 159 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: to be addressed next year, I believe so. But do 160 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: you guys feel that how these linebackers are playing that 161 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: is taking off somewhat of a little bit of the 162 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: weight on the safety position and kind of balancing now 163 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: between the negatives and the positive. Let's be fair for 164 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: a second, two And I mean I'm not ready to 165 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: annoint him as the future starter at safety for the 166 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: next five years. But Xavier Woods played a great game 167 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: the other night, Like I come out of that game 168 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: feeling nice, Like I'm not. I'm not losing sleep about 169 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: the safeties. And you know, we talked about it plenty. 170 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: They had a really rough stretch from Seattle to Houston, 171 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: like those three games, it was not good. But they've 172 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: played well since they I mean, you know, Xavier Woods 173 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: and Jeff Heaths probably aren't going to the Pro Bowl, 174 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: but I think they've been good. And I think you're right. 175 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: The pass rush and the linebackers have probably helped account 176 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: for that. The cornerbacks too, for that matter. I think 177 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: you know, when Byron Jones Byron more so than Cheetah, 178 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: But when your cornerbacks can hold down the main receiving 179 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: threats without a ton of help, I think it makes 180 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: life easier on your safeties. And that's the thing. And 181 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: you know, from doing the Draft Show and following drafts 182 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: so closely, you can't you can't fill your team like 183 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: every position can have top picks, right, there's some areas 184 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: where you're gonna have to get You're gonna get some 185 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: wins from guys that are unexpected and safety might be 186 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: that position for the Cowboys. They may feel like, hey, 187 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: we've invested a lot in our linebackers. We invest a lot. 188 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: They will probably in this offseason invest a lot in 189 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: their pass rusher. Uh, They've feel like they invest the 190 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: first round pick in their cornerback, one of their cornerbacks, 191 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: and so they may look at it and say, hey, 192 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, right now, defensive tackle, let's say, might be 193 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: a bigger concern for them than than safety. And safety 194 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: is going to be that position where we feel like 195 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: if we have moderately moderate, moderate players prayers that are 196 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: kind of middle of the pack, when you combine them 197 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: with really talented players at other positions, they do more 198 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: than they're more than adequate to be able to have 199 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: a really great defense. So he just can't have great everywhere, 200 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: you know. And and and maybe what they're going to 201 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: find out is that these safeties suffice for what they're 202 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: asking them to do in this defense with this uh 203 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: combination of players. Okay, still would be which I'm not 204 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm not jumping off the bandwagon with you just for 205 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: whatever that's like, I would still I would like to 206 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: try to upgrade the talent at safety especially you know, 207 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: Jeff Heath has one more year left on his deal, 208 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: but you're always thinking about the future. Cavon Frasier has 209 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: one more year after this, so still something they should 210 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: look at. But I think they've played pretty well for 211 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: the most part over the last month or so. Yeah. Yeah, well, 212 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: I was just saying looking at it as overall as 213 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: all the games that they've played so far, and you 214 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: guys basically just said it now, and you've got to 215 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: be aware. But again, you can always rely on other 216 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: players to you know, make this position bringing up higher 217 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: and better. You always have to be aware of what 218 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: you have and what they can do. And so far 219 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: they've been okay. Nothing that's like losing you games. Of course, 220 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: that's the offense job right now, that's doing that for you. 221 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: But as far as far as the defense, they've done 222 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: really good. But I will say this too, there's a 223 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: particular safety that's probably going to be a free agent 224 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: this offseason. It's coming off an injury, but it's gonna 225 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: steal next though. I'm just gonna say, I'm just gonna 226 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: I didn't say the name. I was gonna let Nick 227 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: go there, but I mean I think that's still in 228 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: my mind if I were making the decisions, that would 229 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: still be a possible A possible play for me is 230 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: that I go and look into free agency and see 231 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: what I can find in free agency as far as 232 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: veterans are concerned, that might come in here and elevate 233 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: the level of play. Yeah, yeah, it's I think it 234 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: might be sufficient right now. But can you get a 235 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: guy that can actually turn some of those past defenses 236 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: into interceptions that can make a big difference for your defense? Wow? Too, 237 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: it's too early to talk about that. All right, Well, 238 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: let's go ahead and take an early break.

Side. 284 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: That's where you decided to take the job. You decided 285 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: to watch from. Yeah, you could have watched from the 286 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: decide can't see you Sometimes you can't see as well. 287 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: The point is you were both out there in the 288 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: coal watching what was going on. So I wanted to 289 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: talk about some of these players that have been banged 290 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: up a little bit. Who wasn't out there but after 291 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: the defensive line, the whole d line. I mean, yeah, 292 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: it's Wednesday, and understand, this is the day where if 293 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: they're going to have some a day of rest or 294 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: the day of recovery, this is the day to do it. 295 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: But um, looking at Malik Collins, Taco Charlton, David Irving, 296 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: Daniel Ross and maybe Antoine Woods yep, Um, what happened 297 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: to him? I don't even I don't know. And there 298 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: was three guys in hoodies way on the side. But 299 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: he his body types different than others and you could 300 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: tell that with him. Yeah, oh no, he came out 301 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: he looks different than than other pla years. So you're like, 302 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: who's kind of big and husky like that? Then he's 303 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: not over, you know, Okay, well, out of those who 304 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: are the most concerning ones, I would I mean, I don't, 305 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: We'll see, but I don't get a super good feeling 306 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: about David Irving still, yeah, and Malik, I mean, like 307 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: all of those, because if you don't get a good 308 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: feeling there, then what are you thinking about Malik? And 309 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: he did come back in the game and that. That's 310 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: always a good sign. But you know, Ross, you got 311 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: hurting pregame warm ups or something like that. Yeah, yeah, 312 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: what was the deal that? Do we ever do you 313 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: one ever ask that question, like when did you actually 314 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: get Harrett said it happened during pregame warmups. Could have 315 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: sworn I saw it wasn't in the middle of all 316 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: that with hope that didn't happen, got it? Kind of 317 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: what happened? What's the injury calf? Yeah, so straining calf? 318 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: He walked in the game, I mean to the hideline 319 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: with crutches, right, yeah, yeah, wow, So those significant tackles 320 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: and you got um Taco and then who else do 321 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: we say, um the defensive linement, I don't know, Irving, Taco, Irving, 322 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: Ross Woods and Malik. Yeah, it's mainly it's mainly interior 323 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: guys and Taco. So you are defensive tackle. Just seems 324 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: to be that position where they just seemed it they 325 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: guys on the injury report. They brought they brought A 326 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: Z's shit two that's his name. That's his name. Don't 327 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: A zis shit too? They brought him back to the 328 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: practice squad that had an open spot. They were going 329 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: to bring trust and Decu back, but their D line 330 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: is decimated. So they do have Karen read right, they 331 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: do yeah on the Christian ringoes on the practice squad two. 332 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: So it's something to watch. Like, this is a situation 333 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: where obviously it's only Wednesday. We always say that, but 334 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: if a couple of these guys don't improve, you're in 335 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: a situation where you might have to call somebody up 336 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: over the weekend. So that's something to watch. They can 337 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: always slack Crawford down tackle right, Yep, that's an option. 338 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: But I mean five guys. I mean if if you 339 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: need at least two or maybe even three of those 340 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: guys to get back. So something to watch. Zach Martin 341 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: didn't practice today. That's Romo Wednesday as far as I'm concerned. 342 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: Place he said he's gonna be managing this need. Yes, 343 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: exactly so, And I mean we've seen it with Tyrann Smith, 344 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: who I also believe wasn't there, which we haven't seen 345 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: that recently, but again that's Tyron Smith. Like if he 346 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: needs a Wednesday to manage his back or whatever's ailing him, 347 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: that's pretty normal. Ye, something to keep an eye on. 348 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: So who did practice and Tavon Austin and no surprise there. 349 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: But you know, if if these defensive linemen, if we 350 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: can't get all of them back, and you're gonna have 351 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: to make a move here. I mean, they've still always 352 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: been flirting with the idea of putting Tavon Austin on 353 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: injured reserve. I don't really know how close he is 354 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: the coming back or not, but I'm just saying that's 355 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: one move I heard that could happen. Still a couple 356 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: of weeks away from being able to practice, which yeah, 357 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,959 Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see if injuries, I would really So 358 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: that's also why you hold him maybe is because if 359 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: maybe they're thinking play off, then they're thinking that yeah, 360 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: and they're thinking thinking maybe you get to mid December, 361 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: he's back, and if you got to need a game 362 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: to get into playoffs, then he's your guy to be 363 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: able to help you get over that. Hunt Tabe Tavon 364 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: has already scored a sixty five yard touchdown going north 365 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: vertical deep ball. Jordan Lewis is not going to do that. 366 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: He's not gonna go and run a route and do 367 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: all that stuff. So him being out there really doesn't 368 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: worry you that much because he's gonna go that way. 369 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: Maybe if he gets the ball, maybe he doesn't. But 370 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: Tavon can do different things, and so I think that's 371 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: why it's important to have that guy in doing those 372 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,479 Speaker 1: you know, jet sweeps, somebody that can scare you another way. 373 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: So Lucky never really went vertical either, very rarely. So 374 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: it's it's nice to have a guy with that body type. 375 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: But I would rather somebody's run a route before that's it. 376 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they only do it like twice a game, 377 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: so I don't But can Michael Gallop not do that? 378 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: I don't understand Laramari Cooper, right, why do they have 379 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: to specialize it? Like and it's kind of like, you know, 380 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: reporter asked Jason Garrett about that on Monday, is like, 381 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: don't you worry about giving yourself away when you put 382 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: Noah Brown in the game and it's always a run, 383 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: don't you worry? Like, is anybody taking Jordan Lewis seriously 384 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: as anything other than a decoy or a jet suite? 385 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: About that answer? Yeah? What was the answer he said? 386 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: And he's like, well, it's a good thing. He's basic 387 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: pretty much implied that they're setting that up to throw 388 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: the ball when Noah Browns the game tendencies aren't always 389 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: a bad thing. Yeah, there you go, which which was 390 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: my first. But you gotta do that, yes though, you 391 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: know you got you got to people, but you got 392 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: to take advantage at some point, you got to prove it. 393 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: Like Green Bay game where Lucky whiteheaded, Yeah, it was 394 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: a thing of beauty. He'd been he'd been like motioning 395 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: down into the line of scrimmage for like five or 396 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: six weeks, like why who's he block? And then one 397 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: time he just snuck out and there you go. It's 398 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: a big play. Yep, that's but that's what it's always 399 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: driven me. I mean, I didn't want to make this comment. 400 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: It was it's a very nick comment. But you're talking 401 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: about Tavon Austin. I'm like, well, but are they gonna 402 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: do anything with him when he comes back anyway? Because 403 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: I mean, you're right, Lucky White had average ten yards 404 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: per carry when he did that stupid thing, and everybody 405 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: knew it was coming and it still worked. And so 406 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: it drives me crazy that they just seem reluctant to 407 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: do it this year anyway. Um, what were we talking about? 408 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: Everybody's heart? The other guy he's so good about masking things. 409 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: It's just like giving those answers that would respond to 410 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: you but don't really say much. I'd hang out with 411 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,239 Speaker 1: a lot of people that went to ivy leagues, like 412 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: not not even like no, just just students from the 413 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: IVY league. But I would imagine if you had conversations 414 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: with them. I mean, they're gonna be like you get 415 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: that at Midwestern State because I went to Dartmouth, you 416 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: know or whatever. I actually think, big boy, you like that. 417 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: I do so, and I think if I was in 418 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: the IVY League, I probably would. I have two friends 419 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: that went to Cornell and they're smug jerks, so yeah, absolutely, 420 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: But wait, hold one, are you really drawing a distinction 421 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: between smug jerks and me? Yeah? I mean I'm just saying, like, 422 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm a smug jerk without the nice So it wasn't 423 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: about the degree. It's just you hang out with smug 424 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: jerks because it's birds of a flat. I was gonna say, 425 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: what they does it with your college football team? If 426 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: you didn't, you know, like, oh, so, how how'd you 427 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: like that conference title twelve years ago? We've actually won that? 428 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: He does get a little bit like that. Everyone's got 429 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: their own own anybody's just smug jerk about their own thing. Yeah, 430 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: all right, Well the Cowboys are gonna fly again to 431 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: Atlanta to face the Falcons. Uh nail, no, no, you 432 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: need to practice on your birth sound. I don't even 433 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: know what that would be. I gotta figure that out, 434 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: please do. Duck's got it down. So it was Duck's 435 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: nightmare last year. But today we're gonna get into the 436 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: offense instead of the defense defenses tomorrow. So Dave, tell 437 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: me about this Falcons offense and what they dot. You 438 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: don't need here. You don't need me to tell you 439 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: about the Falcons offense. We really don't. You don't see 440 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: you don't you know what it is? Um anything different 441 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: than last year? Yeah, yeah, it is. It's different. Uh 442 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: mainly I mean, well, actually it's kind of similar because 443 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: Davante Freeman got hurt in the second game in that 444 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: game last or second player that game last year. He's 445 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: not here, only he got hurt too, And it's a 446 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: good point. That would probably be the probably be the 447 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: main difference for me is just their most versatile running 448 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: back isn't there. But they do a good job of 449 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: making up for it. But I mean, this is this 450 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: is the Matt Ryan and Julio Jones show, which honestly 451 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: I started. I started watching these guys and looking up 452 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: stuff on him. I'm expecting him to be like the 453 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: La Rams and run eleven personnel like ninety five percent 454 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: of the time because they got so many receivers and 455 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: they throw the ball around. They only do at sixty 456 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: seven percent of the time, and they use their tight 457 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: ends a lot more than I would have given him 458 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,239 Speaker 1: right before. Yeah, Austin Hooper, but again, you know, like 459 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: you know this team, Matt Ryan has thrown the ball more. 460 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: He's um seventh in the league and attempts three hundred 461 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: and fifty three. It's the most by far of any 462 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: quarterback the Cowboys have played this year. This is a 463 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: I don't want to call him one dimensional, but they 464 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: kind of are there. This is They're gonna throw the 465 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: ball without Devantie Freeman because that's their man and running 466 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: Devin Coleman is. He's a good player and I really 467 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: wanted the Cowboys to draft him back when he came out. Um, 468 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: he's a good player, but like, they just don't lean 469 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: on the run that way. They're sixth in total yards 470 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: second in passing yards, thirtieth in rushing yards. They run 471 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: for ninety yards per game, and like, honestly not even 472 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: convinced it's because they can't. They just don't want to. 473 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: Like they have Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Mohammed Sanou and 474 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley and even in Austin Hooper is their third 475 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: leading receiver, so they throw him the ball a lot too. 476 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: They're gonna spread it out, line it up, love to 477 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: do play action, love to get act like they love 478 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: to get Matt Ryan on the move like he yeah, 479 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: I know that's interesting. He is an accurate passer on 480 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: the run, either rolling out either direction or moving up 481 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: towards the line of scrimmage. Like they run a boatload 482 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: of play action, which is funny for a team that 483 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: doesn't rush the ball that much. You would think that 484 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: was started going down, you know, given his like age. No, no, 485 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: he's he's surprisingly athletic or you know, he's solid as 486 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: he knew he was drafted in OH seven or eight. Wow, 487 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was. He's been in the league 488 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: for I was seven eight. It was eight seven, third 489 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: overall pick in the O eight draft. Yeah, he's but Wow, 490 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: he's got surprising mobility and athleticism. For you know, he's 491 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: more of that Peyton Manning, like six four six three 492 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: statuesque quarterback, but he can move pretty well. They love 493 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: to get him moving and throw the ball. Julio Jones 494 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: is Julio Jones. He's got a thousand yards already. He's 495 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: leading the league. He is thirty five percent of their 496 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: passing offense. Uh, and it's the I mean, we're seeing 497 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: it here with Amari Cooper. Like Calvin Ridley is having 498 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: a nice season, but he's he's just gobbling up of 499 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: the attention that other people pay to Julio Jones. He's 500 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: got seven touchdowns and only five hundred receiving yards UM, 501 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: so a lot of receivers, a lot of stuff. Really, 502 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 1: I watched this team and the main thing for me 503 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 1: this there's one thing I want to impress on you 504 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: that I really think is going to make the difference 505 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: red zone. The Falcons. They are seventh in the league 506 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: and red zone efficiency. They score touchdowns sixty nine percent 507 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: of the time when they go down there, which is nice. 508 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: It's interesting because the Cowboys have done really well stopping 509 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: teams and well, I'm glad you said that. Also, it's 510 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: even better when they're at home. They are scoring touchdowns 511 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: on eighty eight percent of their possessions at Mercedes. That's 512 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: got to lead the league, right easily. Eight percent in 513 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: the red zone at home at at home fifteen fifteen 514 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: trips to the red zone at Mercedes ben Stadium this season, 515 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: thirteen touchdowns. Oh, they're two failures, both field goals. So 516 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: they've gotten points every time they've gotten into the red 517 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: zone at home. That's amazing to me because you just 518 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: said they're pretty much one dimensional. When you write down there, 519 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to eat their way in 520 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: and run and that. Well, that's the funny thing is 521 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: but and yet, and yet, Steve Sarkisian has been getting 522 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: killed all year for not knowing what to do when 523 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: they get into the red zone. Just this last week, 524 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: they play the Cleveland they lose twenty eight sixteen. They're 525 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,719 Speaker 1: down twenty eight ten, so the game got away from him. 526 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: But even either the third or the fourth quarter, they 527 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: get down to the five yard line, they run it 528 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: once to the one and then they throw three times. 529 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: If you remember you saw it week one against the Eagles, 530 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: same thing. I think the last play of the game, 531 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: they do they try to do the fade happened in 532 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Julio should have caught it. But it's still 533 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: a stupid call in my opinion, I think in almost 534 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: everybody's opinion. So it's still mad about that. Yeah, he's like, oh, 535 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: if you just call the better player the Eagles. Kind 536 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: of true, and yet and yet they are still really 537 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: really good. So the discrepancy between road and home is 538 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: pretty crazy here, But that means they got to really 539 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: suck on the road if they're at eighty eight percent 540 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: at home in sixty nine overall. Do they have a 541 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: more number of red zone trips on the on the 542 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: road or is it just a lot less that they 543 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: get in the red zone on the road. I'm not 544 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. I didn't run the stats on 545 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: the road. Well, just because they're playing at Mercedes Benz Sum, 546 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: I will say this, they're scoring thirty two points per 547 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: game at home and twenty one away. Oh wow, Yeah, 548 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: it's stark difference. Yeah yeah, um, too bad. It's couldn't 549 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: be an at and you're not wrong. Um, but so 550 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: that's that really is the bit. Basically, point is, I'm 551 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: not interested in like how they're gonna line up Julio 552 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: and how they're gonna get in the ball. I basically 553 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: think they're gonna rack up yards between the twenties and 554 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: that's just what they do. If you go the Redskins 555 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: Buccaneers game this past week, Bucks had five hundred yards offense. 556 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: They scored three points. I really think it's gonna come 557 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: down to who executes better when the field gets short. 558 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: We've seen that the Cowboys are good at it, you know, 559 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: think back to the Houston game. The Falcons are clearly 560 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: very good at it in their own stadium, and I 561 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: really think it's just going to be a matter of 562 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: like they're gonna get their yards in between the twenties. 563 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 1: They just are so if you can stop it. You know, 564 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk about last year game, 565 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: and I don't think that the Falcons offense, you know, 566 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: just kind of blew them away. I just think that 567 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys weren't doing anything on offense, and they kept 568 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: getting you know, good field position, and they kept you 569 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: added a field goal. I mean, I think the game 570 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: was relatively close in the third quarter, and they just 571 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: kept kind of adding points to the league because the 572 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: Cowboys weren't scoring any so I think the biggest difference 573 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: there is going to be you know, yeah, yeah, vander 574 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: Esh which helps you know, that's a better replacement for 575 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: Lee for sure. And then on offense, we'll talk about 576 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: that more tomorrow. But I mean, they didn't have Tyron Smith. 577 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: If you remember, Tyron Smith did not play in that game, really, 578 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: and a Dak remembers kind of a buried storyline. Yeah, 579 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,479 Speaker 1: Tyron didn't play and didn't play in that game, you know, 580 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: and Alfred Morris going, can you know, take them so 581 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: much there? So I would agree with that, And yeah, 582 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: it really I mean strictly Cowboys defense versus Falcons offense. 583 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: It really felt more like death by a thousand paper 584 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: cuts than anything else. Yes, they couldn't They couldn't account 585 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: for Hooper like they gave up so many plays to him, 586 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: which I think they'll be better this time around, hope. 587 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: So the Cowboys never drove for a touchdown. They got 588 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: a great interception by Xavier Woods that led to a touchdown, 589 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: but they never drove. From ask this question, the big 590 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: stark difference that you can see typically when you're talking 591 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: about teams success, particularly on offense, at home versus on 592 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: the road is crowd noise. I can't recall from last 593 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,719 Speaker 1: year what was the crowd like, because I know by 594 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: the time again game got really going, it was the 595 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys ride of it, and so you really couldn't tell 596 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: by a crowd noise, but I couldn't. I think I 597 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: remember there were a lot of Cowboys fans there, as 598 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: there typically are on the road. But it seems like 599 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: just listening to our show and the number of calls 600 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: we get from Atlanta and the people that interact with 601 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: us from Atlanta, there seems to be a ton of 602 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: fans in Atlanta, which could change the dynamic a little bit. Yeah, 603 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,239 Speaker 1: of a home field advantage that Atlanta might experience in 604 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: most games this season. I wonder, and you said, you know, 605 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: I wish the game was at at and T I 606 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: wonder if it's so much home verse away as it 607 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: is turf indoor versus fast track versus not fast track 608 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: Cleveland and November Philly the link at night, which I 609 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: don't know, but this is a very you know, classic 610 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: good indoor team. Um, but yeah, I mean the differences. 611 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever start fully understand that whole 612 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: concept of crowd noise, and when you're down there, I 613 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: guess I just would have to get on the field 614 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: and play. And because to me, I mean, everywhere we 615 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: go it's loud, and I get it that, Okay, when 616 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: certain office is on the field, there's certain you know, 617 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: you hear cheery and stuff to kind of create noise 618 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: and allow that to create some kind of muffle and 619 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: not allow your players to be able to hear what 620 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: call or where to line up. But still, is it 621 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: that much different from place to place? I think I 622 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: used to think that way too, But I kind of 623 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: agree because think about it from a standpoint of communication, 624 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: which team, which which side of the ball needs to 625 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: communicate even more, I mean, so, yeah, you got this 626 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: awesome defense, and you're at home and it's third and 627 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: twelve and the crowd and then the JumboTron is saying 628 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: like fans and all that stuff. Well, the safety's trying 629 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: to talk to the linebacker too and so, but they 630 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: usually have hand motions that they can use very easily 631 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: to communication. Hurts the offense. I think it hurts the 632 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: defense as well too. I don't know, there are a 633 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: lot more I think there are a lot more checks 634 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: on offense than there are on defense, and I think 635 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: that defenses have a way of being able to do that. 636 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: And by the way, there's something too practicing it every week, 637 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: So no matter where you are, defense is probably gonna 638 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: have to deal with that a little bit more than 639 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: the offense. But all that being said, I just think 640 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: if you want to get a good example, go into 641 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: just go in a big cavernis place like the stadium. 642 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: You're in the stadium, and just try to have like 643 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: have Nick standing like twenty thirty yards away from you 644 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: and just trying to say something to him. Right. It's hard. 645 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: And now imagine crowd noise of whatever amount is now 646 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: invading on that and you're trying to talk to these 647 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: guys and you're trying to talk over this really loud 648 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,959 Speaker 1: crowd noise. And by the way, your offensive linemen are 649 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: not facing you, so they're trying to pass. You know, 650 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: you're trying to pass messages between you and the offensive 651 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: line that's not facing you to even be able to 652 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: read your lip or see hand motions or whatever the 653 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: case might be. I just think it's a challenge. That 654 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's insurmountable, because teams do it every week. 655 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: You see teams going the road and win every week. 656 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: You see offense is going to road and score every week. 657 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it is something that's a challenge that 658 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: you have to deal with, you have to account for. 659 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: It's a challenge. But to the point to where it 660 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: would fully affect the outcome of the game. I don't 661 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: think it goes that far, especially like when you go 662 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: at practices and when they're training to face whoever team 663 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: on the road. I mean, they blast them music so 664 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: loud that they've been training for that during the week. 665 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: So I don't know, but still something to be aware 666 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: of and look up look out for. But let's go 667 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: ahead and take our final break, and when we come back, 668 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: list keep talking about this matchup and hit us up 669 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: at Cowboys Break. We'll answer some of your questions. Well, 670 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: the player can look good on paper, it's when he's 671 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: out on the field that you really find out what 672 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more 673 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: than just stats and outing reports when building their team. 674 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: When picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on 675 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: more than just specs and features. You've got to take 676 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: it out and put it to the test.

Dave 735 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: gave as a great report and the Cowboys U just 736 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: in a silly move today, like different this is a a 737 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: different day, right, he popped up, popped up on the 738 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: cold medications drugs affect napkins over his face and what 739 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: are we doing? Let's go all right? You talked about 740 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: the Falcons offense. Now, what would be the most troubling 741 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 1: spot for the Cowboys defense going up against them? I 742 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: actually I was going to bring that up before you 743 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,959 Speaker 1: went to the last break, which Derek, we talked about 744 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: that during the bye week, like, you know, would you 745 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: move Byron Jones around more? I still don't think so. 746 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: By a we're up to me, I would I would 747 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: have him follow Julio Jones in this game? Again, I don't. 748 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't see it because that's not Rod's way. And also, 749 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: you know Jason Garrett, he loves to talk about this. 750 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: And it's a big week for this too because it's 751 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: the Falcons, which Dan Quinn is a Seattle Disciple, Chris 752 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 1: ra Shard is a Seattle Disciple. They play their defense 753 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: like they don't you know, the Seahawks never did that 754 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: type of stuff. They're just they're gonna play their scheme 755 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: and they're gonna play it at a high level. And 756 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: so that's what I expect to see from Byron. Did 757 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: that too, Yeah, well it's a good point. Yeah, basily 758 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 1: still catch it. You're right, which and case in point 759 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 1: that's if it were up to me, I would maybe 760 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: not every play, but I would definitely try to have 761 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 1: Byron Jones lined up on like the Jones as much 762 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: as possible. Well, I like it doing it in a 763 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: way where it's like you don't really know all the time. 764 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: You know, if it's just like I got him every play, 765 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: well then then let's we'll go to the sideline and 766 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: we'll figure that out. But sometimes what they're doing it 767 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 1: on second down, they're doing it on third downs, they're 768 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,360 Speaker 1: doing it at the whole series, they didn't do it 769 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: at all, like kind of keep it guessing. And I 770 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: think the key is you just got to count for him. 771 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: If you're not gonna have Byron, you're always traveling with 772 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: him wherever he lines up, make sure you don't get 773 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: him isolated on somebody that can't handle it. And if 774 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna if he's got somebody across him and that 775 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 1: can't handle it, you better be giving him help. I 776 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: just think they got to always be aware of where 777 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: he is, because I've seen teams that make a conscious 778 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: effort to take him out of the game, and it 779 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: seems to me that in those instances, more often than not, 780 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: they still may score some points, but it ain't nearly 781 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: the kind of points that they score when Julio's going, 782 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: And so I think they just got to count for him. 783 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: And I mean, anybody that plays fantasy football knows Julio 784 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: Jones has struggled to get into the end zone. But 785 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: he is. He's on a two game streak right now. 786 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: He says, I guess he's on Derek's team. If I 787 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: had to guess, he is, So we'll see how that goes. 788 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: And he's I mean, again, I don't have to tell 789 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: you about him, but it's he's fun to watch because 790 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: more so man, not more so than anybody Antonio Brown 791 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: comes to mind, but like he's in a different spot 792 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: every every time. Like he's hard to when you're watching 793 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: the All twenty two and the cameras up there, you're like, 794 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 1: where'd he go? Oh, he's the gigantic guy, he's in 795 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: the slot, he's on the left side, he's on the 796 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: right side, he's lined up in line, he's back off 797 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: the line, like he goes everywhere, and it's always different 798 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: and fun. The funny thing is he used to be 799 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 1: able to say, look for the big guy, but Mohammed 800 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: Sanu is equally big, and so if you're just looking 801 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: for the big guy, you might get the wrong guy 802 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: because they got some big receivers. Another thing, they're not 803 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: afraid to experiment over there because like Calvin Ridley will 804 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 1: line up in the backfield from time, like he took 805 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: a sweep against the Browns, just a flat and Mohamed 806 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: Sanu is probably like the best wildcat quarterback in football. Obviously, 807 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: you don't want to do that a lot because Matt 808 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: Ryan's so good, but he does that, and he can 809 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 1: actually throw the ball to college quarterback. I don't know 810 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: if he was a college quarterback, but he's got he's 811 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: got an arm, like you know, we always talked about 812 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: Dez like he's got an arm, and I think I 813 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: want to say he's got like three passing touchdowns in 814 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 1: his careers, like they he has used that with some 815 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,720 Speaker 1: with a lot of success over the years, so definitely 816 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: something to be mindful of. But I mean, when you 817 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: have an MVP caliber quarterback, I don't know how much 818 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: you're going to do it. Which it's I mean, you know, 819 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: Drew Brees is playing so well, and Jared Goff is 820 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: having a year and Todd Gurley, but Matt Ryan's on 821 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 1: pace for like fifty five hundred yards or something like, 822 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm crazy, He's completing seventy one percent of his passes 823 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,399 Speaker 1: like he's He's having a nice year for sure. All right. 824 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 1: I see a lot of people asking about the kicker 825 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: and kind of concern about brand Maher, which to me, 826 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't feel any concern as of right now, 827 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 1: although he's missed how many now for three in a row, 828 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,760 Speaker 1: four on the year for total. But to me, okay, 829 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,399 Speaker 1: you guys clearly seem concerned three games in a row. 830 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You're right, a total of how many kicks? Four? Four? Right? 831 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: So what that's I'm worried? I mean, seriously, are you 832 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,439 Speaker 1: at of worrying? I said this Nick at the last game. 833 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: I was like, I met, I see him. Are you 834 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 1: at the point where you start looking at other kickers? 835 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: Because I'm nervous. And when when when you start getting nervous. 836 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 1: When the coach started getting nervous about the kicker to 837 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,280 Speaker 1: the point where it affects his decision making, that's a problem. 838 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: And I wonder I don't know that, but I wonder 839 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,479 Speaker 1: if it's getting to that point where he can't really 840 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: rely on him enough that he doesn't make decisions that 841 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 1: are based upon not trusting the kicker. Yeah, and also 842 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: more than that, when he first got the job, we 843 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: talked about what he would do differently than Bailey. You know, 844 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: you hope that he makes the kicks. Obviously that that's 845 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: line one, as Garrett would say, but also kickoffs, you 846 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 1: want to make sure you just blast the ball out 847 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: of the end zone. Last game, I don't know what 848 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: the issue was, but it wasn't going. There was nothing 849 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 1: about win because Philadelphia had no problem getting touchbacks either. 850 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: I think they did every time every time. Because Jordan 851 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: Lewis is now the kick returner. He didn't get one 852 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,240 Speaker 1: one return, So but Maha had a hard time getting 853 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: there and you're you're kind of you know, it's it's 854 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,359 Speaker 1: playing with fire to keep trying to make sure your 855 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,479 Speaker 1: guys run down there. And make the play. So that's 856 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: an issue to me, is like, okay, what's up with 857 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: the kickoffs? And now we're missing kicks? So I mean 858 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of concerning overall. I'm not ready 859 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: to cut him, but I'm definitely concerned. Yeah, yeah, three, 860 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: What I mean three? Can you not be three misses 861 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: in three games? I guess I'm not. And that's a 862 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: shocking from you too, because you're quick to be what 863 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 1: he misses one against Atlanta, She'll be in here on 864 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: Monday like fire to get him out of here, I 865 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: guess because I look at it as an overall, I mean, 866 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: how many have the games have they played so far? Nine? Nine? 867 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: So out of those nine and then taking into account 868 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 1: how many times he kicks, and now looking at how 869 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 1: many times he's missed to me, but they don't operate. 870 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: I'm not to cut you up, but they don't operate 871 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: that way because Bailey had it for seven years and 872 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: then he was being you know, evaluated over right. Now, 873 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 1: that forty two yard kick is alarming to me because 874 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 1: that one, that one about my golf shot that was 875 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: way over there, which I was going to say that 876 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: it was the forty he missed from forty two in Philly. Yeah, 877 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: and so you look at him, he's missed four. One 878 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 1: of them was from fifty plus wash okay, big one yes. Uh, 879 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: then he's I think he's missed two from forty to 880 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: forty nine. That's last week and then way back in Carolina. 881 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: But so combine a forty two yard absolute shank with 882 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 1: a thirty eight yard miss indoors against the Titans, that's significant. 883 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 1: I'm not ready to cut him. I certainly don't. You 884 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,799 Speaker 1: know what it is. You know what it is. Why 885 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 1: I feel this way is because you had the Cowboys 886 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: being scoring touchdowns and then that happening. I would be like, yes, 887 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: this guy, this is an issue. But because it's not 888 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 1: that way, I feel that I'm easy going when he 889 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,840 Speaker 1: comes to shouldn't that be the opposite? I get it. 890 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: We don't trust these guys to get in the end zone. 891 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,839 Speaker 1: Who's I hate. I hate when you start having to 892 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: rely on one person. And he's like, if everybody puts 893 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,399 Speaker 1: their part and do their part and do their job, 894 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 1: and that's his part. I was kicking the kicking the 895 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 1: field goals and kicking off help. You know, he's not 896 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: supposed to his job is to kick field goals. You 897 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: know what I love about Amber is like she like 898 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 1: Amber just it's this is the way it's supposed to be, 899 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: and that's just not how it is for any team 900 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Like nothing is how it's supposed to be. 901 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 1: This league is designed to for everybody to be mediocre. Yeah, 902 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,720 Speaker 1: so you if everybody did their jobs. Yeah, she likes 903 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,360 Speaker 1: the kickers. I feel for him too. It's a crappy 904 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 1: I mean it's really not. It's it's a crappy spot. 905 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: It's crappy when it doesn't go your way. Yes, there's 906 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,399 Speaker 1: no other jobs you can make a ton of money 907 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 1: to just talking about him kick a few times every game. 908 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: There's like very few other jobs. Were eighty two that 909 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 1: Maher's percentage right now is eighty two. There are very 910 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: few jobs where eighty two percent sucks? Like that's surgeant, right, Yeah, 911 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: concern about definitely writers, No, you got a much percentage. 912 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 1: I hit forty. I'm feeling finally one six points first 913 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 1: before even an attempt to three points. So give me 914 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 1: those six points first Sunday starts missing that seventh point, 915 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 1: then you got a real issue. Yes, then I would 916 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,760 Speaker 1: have an issue. But as of right now, just freaking 917 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: score six points first and then we talk. All right, Well, 918 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: that is all the time we have for today day. 919 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:21,320 Speaker 1: Bring that day every week like every show, with everything 920 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 1: exactly the same for Derek, you Wing, Nick, even David 921 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: Hillman and Burger Sea.
