State secrets? Yes? Absolutely, the 15 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: whole world can't watch. Gonna watch Tristan Hill practice it 16 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: left guard and then practice and turn around and play 17 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: three technique today. That's kind of where they are right now, 18 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: right that is where they're with Cowboys and Eagles getting 19 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: set Sunday night prime time. A lot of injuries on 20 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: this football team. Brian, Yeah, and you know, I know, Mickey, 21 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: did you have any chance to update any to talk 22 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: to anybody that updated that stuff or anything like that? Did? 23 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: All right? I knew you would know. So if we 24 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: got time, I can go on alphabet here. You got 25 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: forty one minutes. We can go to the end of 26 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: the first segment, which is usually fifteen minutes from now, 27 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: if we have enough time to get through it. All right, 28 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: So starting with the A's Nornce Armstrong taking rolla with 29 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: his kind of neck injury, he should be good to 30 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: go and practice today. He worked out in pads yesterday 31 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: on his own to the side random bunch, so he 32 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: looks like he's good to go. I think Anthony Brown 33 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: is probably going to miss this game hamstring Randall Cobb. 34 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: It's looking good at this point. Don't know that he 35 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: practices much today, but they're hoping by Friday and play 36 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: on Sunday. LEL Collins surprisingly is doing better. I would 37 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: say at this point he's questionable, but they need him 38 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: to practice to see exactly what he can do. But 39 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: he is getting better, right, He's better. Okay, that was 40 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: something I was worried about last week, we didn't hear 41 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: about the way. Yeah, well this week it's the other 42 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: way around. There we go. He may be doing a 43 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: little bit better than Tyranum. The hope is they get 44 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: one of those two guys back. So they're still that hope. 45 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's gonna happen, yeah, but they're hopeful. 46 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. I think what's going to happen there is 47 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: they don't want what happened last week. That you keep 48 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: a guy active and you put Devin Smith down and 49 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: then he just gives you three plays. Yep. So even 50 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: if he says I can go, I think he's going 51 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: to have to prove it so you don't come up 52 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: short and on your wide receiver active rosters Well said, 53 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: because because obviously they didn't this right with him. You 54 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: know how quiet he is. He doesn't say much. Yeah uh, 55 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: And so that that one they're going to keep an 56 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: eye on. Obviously, Frederick was not injury related. Sound like 57 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: he's back today Byron Jones questionable. So he's getting better 58 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: and he's improving more than Anthony Brown. So maybe you 59 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: get one of those two guys back. Um, As I 60 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: said Tyring, they want probably want to see him practice 61 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: before he plays. And then this one if you noticed 62 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: on Zach Martin they had him limited but it said 63 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: back slash ankle yep, and the ankle is a problem. 64 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: Just what they need, right Yeah, so um, when it rains, 65 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: it's all a couple. It's like three positions here, that's 66 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: all taking hits, right, Like you know your body parts 67 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 1: of diseases. These are like body parts in the disease 68 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: hitting these different parts of the team. Now, Zach did 69 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: that come out of the game. I don't know if 70 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: it was bothering before and got asturbated during the game. 71 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: Remember last year at the end of the year, he 72 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: had a heavily wrapped ankle in a lot of those 73 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: games at the end, So it might be something he's 74 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: aggravated from. That's something he's always kind of had to 75 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: deal with. So and you know, the Eagles aren't much 76 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: better by the way. Nope, they're not from a starting standpoint. 77 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: They didn't have Nigel Brandham practicing yesterday, Fletcher Cox didn't practice, 78 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: the Sean Jackson did not practice and has not practiced 79 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: for weeks with that abdomen. Timmy Jernegan with a foot 80 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: did not practice. Avonte Maddox who is their starting corner, 81 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: Ye didn't hasn't played because of a concussion and looks 82 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: like he probably out. Jason Peters out with a knee, 83 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: Darren Sproles out with a quad and if you think 84 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: about it, Ronald Darby who's been out, there's other starting corner. Uh, 85 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: was on a limited basis, so they're not sure about him. 86 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: And while Jalen Mills practice, I haven't seen them take 87 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: him off pup yet, so, uh, you know, and this 88 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: is just six weeks for him, right right, So he's 89 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: got he's got two more weeks on pop Yere So 90 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if he knows that because I saw 91 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: quotes about how he was hope of the play on Sunday. Yeah, 92 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, I don't think so you have 93 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: to make a move there. Yeah, so we'll we'll see 94 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: where that one goes. So, uh, you know, And we 95 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: talked about yesterday. I think Brian talked about it. Broke 96 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: it down, you know, they were starting Sydney Jones in 97 00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: Rosuel Douglas. Yeah, they got deep touchdowns again, Rusul Douglas. Yeah, 98 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: they got toasted them. The slow conveyor belt in the 99 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: training table there when you go to toast your bread. 100 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: But that is slow, isn't it, Mickey, When you're waiting, 101 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: they can't take you know, Mickey, I knew he would 102 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: be on top of that. The problem that that the 103 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: Eagles had, and only with the cornerback spots because people 104 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: have taken shots on them Minnesota just I mean it 105 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: was even though that Minnesota faced pressure, Cousin still gets 106 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: rid of the football and it's they they are not 107 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: even close to covering these guys, so that that could 108 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: be a problem. I mean, if you could protect on 109 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: the flip side of that for the Eagles, though, Peter's 110 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: not play means that Andre Dillard, who was a first 111 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: round pick for them, very talented tackle, will make that start. 112 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: But you watch him play in games, he's not ready 113 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: to start. And you know he's a first round player. 114 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: You know here you're thinking about, oh, he's a first 115 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: round he should be contributing, but you watch him play. 116 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: He gives a on a ground. It's like he cannot 117 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: sit down on somebody. So can they take advantage of that? 118 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: Last week we talked about, oh, multiple sacks from the Jets. 119 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: They have problems. Can they take advantage of a situation 120 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: with a tackle that's not in that game, being Jason Peters. 121 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: Can they take advantage of Andre Dillard? You know, this team, 122 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: as banged up as the Cowboys are, they just need 123 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: their good players to start playing better, the players that 124 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: they rely on. You know, they need they need more, 125 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: a little bit more from Robert Quinn. I know he's 126 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: showing some stuff. They need some more from Lawrence. You know, 127 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: they need more from Elite Collins. They need more from 128 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. I went on that big rant. But this 129 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: is how you're going to win this game. This is 130 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: how you're going to find a way to win this game. 131 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: Is banged up as you are, your good players are 132 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: going to have to play better than they're good players 133 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: because you're really in the same boat. Boat teams are 134 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: in the same boat injury wise, injury wise, poor starts 135 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: to games. They're very similar record, obvious place. Yeah, yea, 136 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: so last year, didn't they have trouble at tackle and 137 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: they used ye ty Bye Tie was a guy yesterday? 138 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: Not use him instead of Dillard or well Dillard. Dillard 139 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: was the guy that they brought in against Minnesota, and 140 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: and and and kind of hearing a buzz coming out 141 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: of Philadelphia is that that Peters is not going to 142 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: play and that Dillard is going to get the start. 143 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: That hurt That hurts Philly upfront for sure. Yeah, when 144 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: you're watching back the Cowboys pass rush and when we 145 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: talked about it, Sam Darnold got hit twice in that game, 146 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: sacked once, um twice? Was he sacked twice both on 147 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: Robert Quinn rap and both hits by Quinn too? Boy? Yeah? 148 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: Are both those edge rushers getting doubled a lot? Is? 149 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: Are there some single opportunities there? Some single some single 150 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: opportunities there? They just not winning? You know, I think 151 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: with I watched Lawrence. Lawrence has always been so good 152 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: at gaining ground, gaining a corner and then been able 153 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: to kind of hand get rid of a blocker's hands, 154 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: dip and get inside. You know, he's he's one of 155 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: those I haven't seen him with that combination of rush. 156 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: It's you know the times where he's been close, he's 157 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: been low and he got the penalty one time. What 158 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: game was that was at the New Orleans game that 159 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: he got the call for the roughing the passer for 160 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: going low? Or was that the Green Bay game? I 161 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: think it was news. See that's when when when Lawrence 162 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: is good, he's playing in balance and he's using technique, 163 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: and it seems like to me he just when he's 164 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: got these one on ones, he hasn't had the technique 165 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: that we've seen from him the past, where it's an 166 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: explosive first step, get rid of the blockers hands, get 167 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: him off balance, and then capture the quarterback. Hasn't had 168 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: that kind of consistency on the down after down that 169 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: he needs from that, you know, but he hasn't really 170 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: had any help inside there. You know, MALIEK. Collins, who 171 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: we were talking about, MALIEK. Collins, He's gonna come on, 172 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: he's gonna do this a three technique that he just 173 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: hasn't played well enough to help. And then Quinn has 174 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: done the best he could. I think. I think if 175 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: you asked, if you said, hey, Robert Quinn's gonna come 176 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: in here and give you six sacks in four games, 177 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: I think you would be just like, what sounds pretty good? 178 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: Sounds pretty damn good to me. He's probably earning a 179 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: bonus with one more. I think, No, absolutely, so you know, 180 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: if he you know, if you could get continue to 181 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: get him to play the way he has. But they 182 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: need also these linebackers to play better too. These are 183 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: the good players I'm talking about, the Jalen Smiths, the 184 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: Layton Vanders, just the Sean Lees, the Joe Thomas's. These 185 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: are guys that are good players. They're gonna need more 186 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: from them, and we've seen it in the past. We've 187 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: seen a Shawn Lee play against the Philadelphiagls. We've seen 188 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: a Layton vanderss a swing pass out to the flat 189 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: and on third down and he makes a tackle to 190 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: knock him out of field goal range to make him 191 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: have to punt in that game last year. They need 192 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: those types of plays in this game. If they're gonna 193 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: be down to Maury Cooper and Tyrn Smith and all that, 194 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna need some of these guys to step up 195 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: and play bigger than they have these last three weeks. 196 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: You know, Rob, To answer your question, I don't know 197 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: if this is indicative of what happened in the game 198 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: against the Jets, but on that ninety two yard pass, 199 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: they doubled Quinn and they kept the tight end to 200 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: that side. They doubled Collins and they singled block Connor 201 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: William I mean um Woods which you would imagine right 202 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: first down, your nice tackles, probably not going to get 203 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: double team. And they singled DeMarcus Lawrence and he got 204 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: run past the quarter he was getting there, and because 205 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: there was nothing in the middle, Donald just stepped up. 206 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: That's right, and he went right past good. That's good. 207 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: So that's that's the way they thought they were going 208 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: to block. And they and they kept five six guys in, right, 209 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: they kept the tight end in, they max protect and 210 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, the running back stayed in too. Yeah, 211 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: probably what you could see from the Cowboys too. You know, 212 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: people are asking me to have to happen, right, Yeah, 213 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: you got. You gotta acknowledge that you got. If if 214 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: indeed it happens to back up tacks or even if 215 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: say Leal Collins plays not playing at one hundred percent, 216 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: he might need some help. So you're gonna have to 217 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: do some of those things to help those guys out. 218 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: When people keep asking about how many plays Jason Witten 219 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: played or whatever, well, yeah, because they went too tight 220 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: end right quite a bit. Try to help. They're trying 221 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: to help. I heard that this morning, you know that 222 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: driving in one five three, that was kind of their narrative, 223 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: Well Witton continues to take more reps. Well Witton continues 224 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: to take more reps because they're trying to help these 225 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: tackles if they can. You know, there's situations where they 226 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: have they've been getting a lot of twelve personnel on 227 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: first downs and that's going to be a lot of 228 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: But to Micky's point, I think you have to. You know, 229 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: people say, well, where's Devin Smith been, where's that long pass? Well, 230 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: that was three man rush. Keep everybody in, max protect, 231 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: and that's how you get the ball off. And that's 232 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: exactly what you're gonna probably see in this game. You're 233 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: going to see them max protect and try and get 234 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: that ball down the field. If the Eagles proved that 235 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: they cannot consistently cover that, and then you just got 236 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: to catch the ball. You go catch. They can't go 237 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: through a wide open Uh Michael Gallup's hands three times, 238 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: as he said himself, No, you had three other drops too, 239 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: if you if you look at it. So that's six 240 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: drop passes in a game that can't happen. And people 241 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: want to know, well, why are they off their slow start? 242 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: Are they not prepared? We' well, okay, I'm sure they 243 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: probably practice catching the ball last week, you know, just 244 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: catch it. So you can do all that stuff, but 245 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: you got to be able to come through when it counts. 246 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: You know, the run blocking and maybe it was a 247 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: bad call on fourth and two. Uh, you know, come 248 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: up with something different. But your your two tackles missed 249 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: their blocks, yeah, so badly. And when you get brought 250 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: down from the back side, you know that's bad. Yeah, 251 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: so yeah, you got to execute. It's it's not about preparation. See, 252 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: everybody's just looking for an excuse without looking at facts, 253 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, and just look at the facts. Just watch it, 254 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: see it. Don't don't just buy into stuff. Fine line 255 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: with this offense, fine line with how they are when 256 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: it comes to not having all their players, you know, 257 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: and not using that as an excuse. But it's a 258 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: very fine line because the difference between moving the change 259 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: might be a Michael Gallup curl that's caught for thirteen 260 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: yards that gets you inside the red zone and get 261 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: you a fresh set of downs, or having to kick 262 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: a field goal. Fine line is to your wide receiver 263 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: lining up incorrectly, running around and getting fifteen yards. Now 264 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: you've now it's basically a twenty twenty yard loss, five 265 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: yards for the penalty and fifteen yards for the for 266 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: the play you didn't get. It's a very fine line. 267 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: This team cannot afford holding penalties. They cannot afford to 268 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: line up wrong. They can't afford drops. They cannot afford 269 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: drops at all, because again that puts them in some 270 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: bad down to distance situations. Margin for error drops a lot. Absolutely. 271 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: Zeke lamented the run he had in the first series. 272 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: Get outside, get outside, he had Travis. It's he Zach 273 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: Martin block and well inside, just pop that thing to 274 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: the outside. He'll admitted he saw it wrong. He cut 275 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: back in. You know, if you get out there and 276 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: get in space, get going, you know you can do it. 277 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: You see it before. Darn it. Why did you just 278 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: gain twelve yards? Yeah? How do you see the running 279 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: game matchup for the Cowboys against this Philly front Because 280 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: to you, guys, point, if they do have one or 281 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: more backup tackles in the game, you're trying to do 282 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: some things to help your down in distance. And this 283 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: is always a game they fight for inches. It's in 284 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: the running game. I'm gonna give you a mix shot. Sure. 285 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: Last year, ye first game Zeke nineteen carries one hundred 286 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: and fifty one yards and a touchdown. There you go, 287 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: six catches for thirty six that's twenty five touches for 288 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty seven. Second game, Z twenty eight 289 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: for one thirteen in overtime, twelve catches for seventy nine yards. 290 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: That's forty touches for one hundred and ninety two. So 291 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna get criticized if you use Zeke in this game. Yeah, 292 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: if if my math that's I'm never criticizing for using 293 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: Zeke I do. If my math is correct, that's sixty 294 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: five touches in two games or three hundred and seventy 295 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: nine yards. Yeah. And then having said that, Kirk Cousins 296 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: through for three thirty three. Well, see the thing about 297 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: it is too. This is where I think when and 298 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: I think Mickey correct me if I'm wrong. They were 299 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: full strength offensive line in both I think I think 300 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: that everybody was playing it needed play where they could 301 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: take advantage. And I went back and watched the game 302 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: last year. Mickey's right with all his numbers, But what 303 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: they did, they did some creative things as far as 304 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: old school creative, old school trap plays you get Fletcher 305 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: Cox to come up the field, you trap him it 306 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: with Sue Field. Next thing, you know, the things up inside. 307 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: You know they got hats on hats, They got Martin 308 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: inside on the linebacker. Now the ball's going straight ahead, 309 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, you got some space right there. They were 310 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: able to They were able to pop some runs on them, 311 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: just for some like some quick hitting type play. The 312 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: Eagles want to get up the field. They're very much 313 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys, and they want to get up. They 314 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: want to attack gaps. You have to take advantage of 315 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: them getting up to feel and then getting bodies on 316 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: their second level guys. So you give Elliott the chance 317 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: to have the success that Mickey was just talking about. 318 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: You know, if you look at Phillies run defense, I 319 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: know everybody's saying their second against the run, and but yeah, 320 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: there's they're also twenty ninth against the past one hundred 321 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: and eighty yards given up. That's been how teams, how 322 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: many sacks they have? Don't have that. I didn't ask something, No, 323 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: actually I didn't. I didn't. I didn't mean to ask 324 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: something that that. You know, but I can say if 325 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: you could hold up, if you can hold up with 326 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: your protests only you mean that sacks that the defense 327 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: same as the Cowboys. There you go. Do you feel 328 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys pass rush has been all that great? No, 329 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: it needs to be better. It needs to be better. 330 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: See that's to me, this is this is a pretty 331 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: too evenly matched teams. It's it comes down to, in 332 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: my opinion, those fine line plays we talk about, are 333 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: you going to make receptions on third and six and 334 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,959 Speaker 1: keep moving the chains or you're gonna have to kick 335 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: a fifty yard field goal? Exactly, That's why. And to 336 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: make Key's point where it's like, what's wrong with these 337 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: slow starts? Who's to blame? Are they not prepared? You? 338 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,719 Speaker 1: Really this is boring. Okay, it's boring, but you have 339 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,479 Speaker 1: to go back and watch each drive and see a 340 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: handful of plays that have contributed to stopping the drive, 341 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: No question, that's looking at it from a logical standpoint. 342 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: It's not as fun to just point the finger at 343 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: the play caller or the quarterback coach or the head coach. 344 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: But that's that's really what's happened here. And some of 345 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: these are very makeable plays that they just haven't made. 346 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: Just the facts, ma'am. Yeah, pretty much check Webb, check Webb. 347 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: Are you a dragnet?

Let's grab 410 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: a phone call first, one of the day, Tony from Denver. 411 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: You're up first, start us off. Hey guys, A longtime 412 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: fan of you guys, Thank you, and I have a 413 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: comment and a question. The comment I have is Connor Williams. 414 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: It seems like every game I see number fifty two 415 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: getting blown up, and you know, luckily or by fortune, 416 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: we've seen Suicilo start because of his injury against such 417 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: a Cox and Agers. But my question is is it 418 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: because of the pride of the organization of him being 419 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: drafted a second round and they have to feel like 420 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: they start the guy or is it something deeper than that. 421 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: I know, um, Connor Williams is more athletic than Suicilou. 422 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: And then my question is for uh, long time fan, 423 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: um all the great quarterbacks to the Cowboys, Rogers, the Dodger, 424 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: Danny White, Troy Aikman, and Tony Romo. Um, it seems 425 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: like Danny White never gets the respect of having his 426 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: name mentioned with the other quarterbacks. Is there a reason why? 427 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: And that's it, yank you, And that's a good point. 428 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: And the obvious reason why is you never got the 429 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: team to the super Bowl. That's it. You went to 430 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: three consecutive NFC Title games and he doesn't get credit 431 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: for that. And he doesn't get credit for a team 432 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: that was changing. Yeah, a lot of those guys retired 433 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: after the seventy nine season. I think Raphael Wrights year. Yeah. Um, 434 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: you had other guys retire after, you know, seventy nine, 435 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: and you didn't uh you know, it wasn't quite the 436 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: same team, uh, on the on the offensive line and 437 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: on the defensive line. But yet he got him to 438 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: those games. No one wanted to play if I remember correctly, 439 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: and Brian was probably watching it, that eight NFC Title 440 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: game that was cold in Philadelphia. No one did anything. 441 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: The catch changed the whole narrative of the history of 442 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: two franchises. They were that close to going to the 443 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and him leading to the super Bowl. And 444 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: then eighty two was just a weird season because it 445 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: strikes season. They had a tournament and they went to 446 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: the title game against the Redskins right right, got beat. 447 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: So that's what happened to Danny White, guarantee you. And 448 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: then the strikes got in the way of him. He 449 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 1: was kind of pro franchise. The players didn't like that, 450 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: and the whole thing got screwed up in eighty four 451 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: when Tom decided to start Hooga Boom, which he took 452 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: that back halfway through the season when the offense wasn't working, 453 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: and then they had the number one offense in the 454 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: league and at the halfway point in eighty six, then 455 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: he breaks his risk. Yeah, so that's what happened there. 456 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: You know. I had a question for him on Connor Williams. 457 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: How many times do you see him getting blown up? 458 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: Because if it happens once out of sixty five plays 459 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: and twice, yeah, that's that's kind of I was also 460 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: going that Sue of Philo was no bargain at the 461 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: end of the season last year. Yeah. I think the 462 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: more that Sue of Filo played, the worse he got, 463 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: you know. And I think Connor Williams, if you remember 464 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: he came back in he wasn't the problem in the 465 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: playoff game actually against Aaron Donald. He wasn't terrible in 466 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: that game. Zach Martin was banged up, beat up the 467 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 1: ankle of the knee and all that, and he had 468 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: trouble with the Dominicans sue that game. It was a 469 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: big problem inside. But we always talk about great these guys, 470 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: you know, their day. I think they ran almost eighty plays, 471 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: and you know, you have to grade him on that 472 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: type of of you know, thinking they're going to have 473 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: one or two bad plays. Yeah, he gave up a 474 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: big hit, he missed a twist, but again, it's one 475 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: play that happens to you in the game, and you know, 476 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: I think that's you know, he's his Is there things 477 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't do well? Absolutely, there's things he doesn't do well. 478 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,479 Speaker 1: I think he doesn't he's not as patient as he 479 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: needs to be at times. I think he needs to 480 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: take a page out Alla Collins book. Allle Collins has 481 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: learned how to be patient and not get over extended 482 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: and not cause himself problems. But yeah, I think with Connor, 483 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: if you said who's going to make more consistent use 484 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: of sixty five plays, I think Connor Williams makes better 485 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: use of sixty five plays than Xavier Sewell, Philo, does 486 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: you know now maybe you know if someone can say, well, 487 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: what about Joe Looney? Then Brian, what about Adam Redman? Brian, 488 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: well what about you know, what about somebody else playing 489 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: over there? Well, that's you know, that's something they haven't 490 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: gone into. They've they've they've they've looked at Connor Williams 491 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: and they feel like that he gives them the best 492 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: chance to have success on offense. And we've gotten questions 493 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: too about best five and with these injuries, should they 494 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: move Connor to tackle and fill in with some of 495 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: those other guys you mentioned. I think it's one thing 496 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: to have your best five when you're in camp and 497 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: you're trying to set your lineup, and it's another thing 498 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: to change out three different positions in the middle of 499 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: the season on a given week. And that's they're trying 500 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: to keep it as as continued as they can. It 501 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: was seventy it was seventy five plays last Okay, I knew, Yeah, 502 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: that's a lot, right. Yeah. And here's another thing, and 503 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: this got lost in the shuffle. They had three hundred 504 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: ninety eight yards total offense. Sure, so it wasn't like 505 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: they were bad. The whole game. Yeah, they did. Like 506 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: Brian said, there was a play here, a play there, 507 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 1: you don't execute and then you're not scoring. Yeah, but 508 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: they moved the football, you know, and this whole thing 509 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: about not being prepared and then the second half you 510 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: come out and you should have outscored them twenty to three. Yeah. 511 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: So in ten minutes at halftime, did you suddenly get 512 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: them prepared where you didn't for five days during the week. Yeah, 513 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: don't buy into the perception. Look at the facts, go 514 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: back and look at the game, look at the play 515 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: by play and see what happened. Yeah, they moved the football, 516 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: it didn't score. The unfortunate thing is they had that 517 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: great drive at the end of the start the half 518 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: and then we get three points out of it. Yeah. 519 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 1: That that that's killer to take that much time, Give 520 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: your defense a blow, let them make their adjustments over there, 521 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: give them a little bit more rest coming out of half, 522 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: and keep your running back, keep you exactly, keep things 523 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: going in and you know they just fine line. That's 524 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: what it is. It's just a it's a really fine 525 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: line with this team. Where did that that that that 526 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: ended at the the fourteen yard line, right, So you 527 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: drive all the way downfield. And that's just like the 528 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: other two games they lost. You got first and ten 529 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: at the eleven in both of them, and you kicked 530 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: the field goal. Yeah, just like Jason Witten said on 531 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: the sideline and the micd up there. Oh gosh, what 532 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: with some four letter words. Field goals aren't going to 533 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: win this football game today. Yeah, I'm gonna say this 534 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: is calmly. It was great. Can you get back and 535 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: watch this, Mickey Witton? Uh No, Smart comes and sideline 536 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: sits down and he goes, I'm gonna say this as 537 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: calmly as I can. And then he immediately dropped an 538 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: f bottom on that Smart and it's like, no, Spart 539 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: knew what was coming, you know, he just he took 540 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: his pad. He was kind of like, you know, looking, okay, 541 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: got I got. I think he believes in my philosophy, 542 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: more field goals. As you kicked the closer, you're out 543 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: of loose. Absolutely got to score touchdown, especially with this 544 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: kicker he's never misses. Yeah, that's the problem you run 545 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: into here, all right. Chris from Indiana, you're up next 546 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: on Talking Cowboys. I go fellas good Chris. Thanks, Um. 547 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: A couple of things I've noticed. Um, when you look 548 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: at the first three games, the first three wins, and 549 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,719 Speaker 1: sure you go back and look at the last three, 550 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: have you guys noticed on the play action the first 551 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: three as soon as Dak does the play action, as 552 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: soon as he sets that backfoot, the ball is gone. 553 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: Now he sets the back foot, but he's balancing and 554 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: he was looking, and he's looking, So that's kind of 555 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: setting them up for if no one's open for that 556 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: pass for us to get to them. I just think offensively, 557 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: they just need to not so much have Max protect 558 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: all the time, but have quicker passes or quicker run plays. 559 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: Get those guys out in space. Wide receiver screens, running 560 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: back screens, tight end screens. Just get them out in 561 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: space to let them do things instead of sitting back 562 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: there waiting for a fifteen yard route to come open, 563 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: or twenty yard route or even a ten yard route 564 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: to come open. Just kind of speed the game up 565 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: that way. That way, you're not having Dack sit out 566 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: there like a sitting duck to get hammered all the time. Okay, Chris, 567 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: thanks for the call. I saw one screen in the 568 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: game last week, but I thought in the second half, 569 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: especially they were getting the ball out trying to beat 570 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: that blitz. I think Mickey's favorite people that cover the NFL, 571 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus had it as Mick am right with you, 572 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: by the way, on that one, the Pro Football Focus 573 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: said that that his the ball getting out of his 574 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: hand was the fastest that it had been that they tried. 575 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: And so, yeah, I think that to me, it's if 576 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: if you're throwing the ball, there's a difference throwing the 577 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: ball to Cedric Wilson and throwing the ball to Bryant 578 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: and throwing the ball to table on Austin than it 579 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: is throwing the ball to Cooper and a Cob and 580 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: those guys. You know that that there, there's that you 581 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: see bouncing because you're thinking, okay, get open, get open, 582 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: get open, I know, and then now you're in a 583 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: little bit of a bind. But but if you but 584 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: if you've trust that Pro Football Focus group or those 585 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: those people that do those those stats, they will tell 586 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: you that the ball was coming out of his hand 587 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: quicker this game than any of the other games they've had, 588 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, and with with the Eagles being so aggressive offensively, yeah, 589 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: maybe those screen passes are are a good idea in 590 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: this game. See, it's a lot to do with the matchups. 591 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: It's who you're playing. You know, it's not always okay, 592 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this all the time. It's like, you 593 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: know when you get Jarwin in the slot sometimes right, Well, 594 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: what they're trying to do is get a matchup and 595 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: they're saying, Okay, that linebacker can't run with him, right, 596 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: you can take advantages. But some teams they would have 597 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: a linebacker can run with him, or a safety like 598 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams can run with them. Yeah, So then it's like, well, 599 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: there's no sense running that play. We got to do 600 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: something different. So matchups matter. No, No, He's absolutely right. 601 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: And this is and you got to watch Philadelphia on there, 602 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: and they'll find a way to get Miles Sanders out 603 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: in space against your linebacker. Did it a couple of 604 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: different times against Minnesota last week. And if they feel 605 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: like you're playing a lot of man coverage, they will 606 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: pick that. Philadelphia is one of the better pick teams 607 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: in the league. They've got guys that understand how to 608 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: run inside and get in the way. So it would 609 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: be interesting to see if these officials in fact make 610 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: calls like we saw in the goal line against Cedric 611 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: Wilson when all of a sudden, all Sean Jeffries is 612 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: running inside and now you've got a back coming behind him, 613 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: you know, so keep an eye on that kind of stuff. 614 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, Mickey's right about these matchups. This is where 615 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: again we keep talking about and you asked the question yesterday, 616 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: where's Tony Pollard been, you know, with with with it 617 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: banged up at receiver, Maybe this is an opportunity to say, Okay, 618 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: let's see if we put Tony Pollard out there, how 619 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna cover him. You're gonna walk a linebacker out there. Okay, 620 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: we'll take that. We'll take that, we'll take that. But 621 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,239 Speaker 1: you put a corner on him. Okay, that means you're 622 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: putting a safety somewhere else or a linebacker somewhere else. Yeah, well, okay, 623 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: now we'll find out where you're you're you're moving that 624 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: guy too, And that's that's that's what the chess matches 625 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: and this is going to be in this football game 626 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: is if you use Elliott and Pollard in the backfield 627 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: the same time. And I'm not just talking about twice. 628 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking about if you do this eight, nine, ten times, 629 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: see where Philadelphia is at, See where there are about 630 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: how they're going to play this coverage. Great stuff, guys, 631 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: Let's take one more break. We'll be back in a moment. 632 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: On talking Cowboys.

Quick update from practice from 693 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: Dave Hellman not practicing right now, Randall Cobb, Amari Cooper, 694 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: Byron Jones, Anthony Brown. Also we mentioned Zack Martin Mickey 695 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 1: did earlier in the show. He sure did, He sure did. 696 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: He's not out there, and Joe Looney's also not out there. However, 697 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: Tyron Smith and Lyle Collins are at least doing some 698 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,879 Speaker 1: O line drills right now. Okay, so progress progress, because 699 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: last week there wasn't progress. Week I was with Mickey, 700 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: I thought that Tyren Smith was further along. They must 701 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: have had a setback along the way. Something must have 702 00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: happened because they tried to work him out. You got 703 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: were at that game. Try to see him in pregame. 704 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: He was limping. I heard from reading your reports and 705 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: stuff like that. So, uh, you know, that's a good sign. 706 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think now now Friday becomes the big 707 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: watch day of all those guys that you listed, right, 708 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, Okay, what can Collins do? What can Smith do? 709 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: What can Cobb do? You know? I mean, hey, the 710 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,720 Speaker 1: more of those players you can get back. Of course, 711 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 1: captain obvious here telling you that. But man, if you 712 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: if you can get one offensive lineman back, that would 713 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: be huge. You know, it probably would be Collins, but boy, 714 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: that would be a big, big difference if you could 715 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: could kind of kind of just get one more player 716 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: back in there on that and on that line, you know. 717 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: And it's it's a shame, out of sight, out of 718 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: mind because it's not on the injury report because he's 719 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: on injury reserve. But no Tyrone Crawford either, and they 720 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: got a compensate for that loss too, and he was 721 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: struggling through it anyway, so I don't know much of 722 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: an impact he was making, and he knew it. But again, um, 723 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,439 Speaker 1: you know, just the shame. But here we go with 724 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: having to fill in there, and I would imagine Tristan 725 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: hills up. I can't imagine Justin Hamilton will know enough 726 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: to be able to do something unless they just need 727 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: a body. Well there. You know, if you look at 728 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: if you're thinking about Crawford, you're thinking about him as 729 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 1: a three tech, right and Hamilton's and Hamilton's a one. Yeah. 730 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: I skying reports up on Dallas Cowboys dot com, so 731 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,839 Speaker 1: hopefully folks will go to that and kind of check 732 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 1: it out. The good and the bad. Felt like though, 733 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: when you watch me Kansas City in preseason early in 734 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: the thing, he looks sloppy and wasn't really in good 735 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: shape and wasn't his active. By the time they got 736 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: to the San Francisco game later in preseason, he was 737 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: a much better player. And he's played with the Eagles, 738 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: not that he's going to know anything. He was on 739 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl team there, but he's played some NFL games. 740 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: He is a big body. He's a three hundred and 741 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: fifteen pound guy. Like I said, the agility was better 742 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 1: towards the end of training camp. Now you worry about 743 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 1: him being gone for seven weeks. You know, Jason Garrett 744 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: said he did some good things out there, so it's 745 00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: going to take a little little time to probably get 746 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,760 Speaker 1: him acclimated again. With all these guys that we've mentioned 747 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 1: that are banged up. They're all vets. I think ed 748 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 1: Warder asked this in the in the press conference. Good question. 749 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 1: Do you need these guys to practice? I mean, can 750 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 1: you rely on them to just be ready to go? 751 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 1: If if like a tyrant doesn't practice a lot this week, 752 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: but it warms up, okay Sunday. Long as long as 753 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: you keep them active and you're gonna play them, and 754 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 1: then they don't bail on you. That's that's exactly where 755 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: I was going, because then you have you got to 756 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 1: look at that forty six man game day roster. You 757 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: cannot dress forty six guys and have only forty two 758 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: of them playing. That that is that is a disaster. 759 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, they've got to If if they you know, 760 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: Britt Brown and those guys do a great job of 761 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: knowing their team. And you know, Mary Cooper is a 762 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: tough guy, and I'm sure that they I'm sure he 763 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 1: convinced them that no, I can go, I can go. 764 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: And then next thing you know, he's standing over there 765 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: next to Mickey at the game. You know that's not good. 766 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: So if they if these guys like Byron Jones and 767 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: I mean, this game is going to come down too 768 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a war. And I don't mean a 769 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: war in a you know I mean, you know what 770 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 1: I mean. And the football Think about last year the game, 771 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,839 Speaker 1: it was a six point game in overtime right there, 772 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: and the first game was a seven point game. These 773 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 1: games are always been tough, too, very evenly matched football teams, 774 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 1: both teams badly needing a win, three and three first 775 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,919 Speaker 1: place on the line. We'll be back Friday to wrap 776 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: things up with Bill. Thanks for listening, and we'll see 777 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: you tomorrow.
