Speaker 1: not watch Disney Chris is on point. But we're glad

20
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: you're with us, and let's go ahead and start things

21
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: off by a little bit of news worthy hits from

22
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips here over in the corner. Rob, I mean,

23
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: we heard from Mike McCarthy yesterday. It was pretty much

24
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: good news for injury status is moving forward, right, Yeah,

25
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: it sounds like it. I mean, he said they got

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: some guys banged up, So we'll see what the injury

27
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: report actually looks like. But it sounded like a Mary

28
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: Cooper came out of the game. Okay, he played a

29
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: ton of snaps in the game, just wasn't didn't have

30
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: a ton of catches, didn't didn't need him to. Actually, Um,

31
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: we got some clarity on the guys on IR. So

32
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: there's a few guys that are eligible to come back

33
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: this week. Josh Ball, Sean McCune, Neville Gallimore, Kelvin Joseph.

34
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Nobody's ready yet. Out of those four, nobody's ready yet.

35
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: Mike said, I think it's going to be at least

36
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks for all of them, maybe a

37
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: few weeks for Kelvin Joseph, which is that that's disappointing,

38
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: but he's making progress. He says, But so they're just holding.

39
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: They're gonna wait until guys are closer because you don't

40
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: want to start that twenty one day clock where they

41
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: can start practicing until they're about ready to come back.

42
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But that you know, that's that's too bad,

43
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 1: because you know, I think everybody wants to see what

44
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: what boss Man's got question. Yes, the way that this

45
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: this league works, right in terms of transactions, whenever somebody

46
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: comes off ir room has to be made for them

47
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: to come back on a roster, is that correct? So

48
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: how many guys do we have to make room for?

49
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: That are for sure we're going to come back into

50
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: this roster at some point this season, probably at least three.

51
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know about Josh Ball. I mean

52
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: maybe or maybe it's a red shirt year for him.

53
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly where he's at with his with

54
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: his ankle, But especially with the play of Terrence Steele,

55
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: I feel like you feel better at that spot than

56
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: you would initially because I thought Ball was brought in

57
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: to compete for the swing tackle job with Tianzecki and

58
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele, and Seki hasn't been a factor because of

59
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: his health. And then you have Terren Steele, who all

60
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden is one of the better offensive tackles

61
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: in football the last two weeks, I mean according to

62
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. So yeah, I don't know if Ball's

63
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: gonna play a lot. I mean, he could be active,

64
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: he could be back and activated, but I think the

65
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: chance for him to be the swing tackle that's that

66
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: ship is set for year one. I mean Terren Steele

67
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. We talked about it yesterday

68
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: in the office. I mean, he played well. No, and

69
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: Tan still is looking scary good right now at the

70
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: swing tackle answering our prayers for what we needed. But

71
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: I think the the shade that you're throwing right now

72
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: that if they'll picked up on that, he's going, He's

73
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: going a direction here, He's going. I'm just saying, there

74
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: has to be roommate. A lot of guys are making players.

75
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: We have a lot of depth, and are you talking

76
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: about I think off the top, I'm thinking there's there

77
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: has to be four guys, right, there's four guys that

78
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: are for sure coming back onto this roster. But at

79
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: the same time, man, I know people are excited about that.

80
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: What the reality is there's four guys that have to

81
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: leave the roster, and so there are four guys right

82
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: now currently. There's a light at the end of that tunnel,

83
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: and it's a train Roger style, it's a train. So

84
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: it's who are who are some of the guys that

85
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: you're looking at in that? I mean, obviously we got

86
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill, he's coming back. Okay, we have Gallimore, Yeah,

87
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: he's coming back, Kelvin Joseph, he's coming back, Malik Turner

88
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: and with our special team player as of late, he's

89
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: coming back. Forgot about the leak? Yep, that's another one.

90
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: So those are my four off the top. What else

91
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: y'all got? Oh? Man, So who are the guys? That

92
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: is really crazy to be talking about guys on the

93
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: bubble in season. Oh, this is a conversation I didn't

94
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: expect to have. Where's my roster? I mean, we're a

95
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks out right at least. I mean, I

96
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, this could be a thing. It's

97
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: all gotta happen at the same week, but right and

98
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: it sounds like it could be after the buy for

99
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: some guys. I mean the way it's going, there's only

100
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: three more games till the buy, so I don't know.

101
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: And here's the thing too. I hate to say this,

102
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: but injuries happen. COVID is still like a weekly thing

103
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: around here, unfortunately. UM and hopefully that that just you know,

104
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: there's no fault of anybody's. It's the world we're living in.

105
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: But that's always lingering out there as well. We got

106
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: to put somebody on a reserve list, then you can

107
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: bring somebody back that way. I don't it doesn't always

108
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: have to be cuts, but you do bring up an

109
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: interesting point, and it's actually a good thing because it's like,

110
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think when we got done with preseason,

111
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody felt super great about depth

112
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: on this roster at certain spots. And I think what

113
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: they've been able to do through three games, especially on

114
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: defense without guys starters, key contributors, it's been impressive. Yeah,

115
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm impressed. I guess I bring that up because when

116
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: say everybody stays healthy scenario wise, right, because I think

117
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: everybody feels pretty good about our depth right now, pretty

118
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: much at every position. We were pretty good understanding that

119
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: those guys were coming back. We now have to say, hey,

120
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: heck man, you've been you've been playing good man. But

121
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: UH got to make a move with you because you know,

122
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: we got Tristan Hill. You know, he's one of our

123
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: main guys. Galimore is one of our main guys. So

124
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: you gotta your odd man out, you know. But you're

125
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: not hurt, so I can't put you on IR. So

126
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: I gotta put you on practice squad, which means that

127
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: anybody can come grab you, right or how does that work?

128
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: You do get four protections a week? Okay about you?

129
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if again these damn rules. Everybody don't

130
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: know if you can only protect the guy's a certain

131
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: amount of times. But there is that option, and you

132
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: do have veteran options on the practice sway, like you said,

133
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: so there are you know, it's easier to keep guys

134
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: around than it used to be. Yeah, look at COVID. Honestly,

135
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: look at us. Just seven minutes into a week four show,

136
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: and we're talking about taking people's jobs. How about that?

137
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about reality Yeah it is. It's a reality check.

138
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: And so I tweeted out as the teas to this,

139
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: I said, reality check and fan calls. We will be

140
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: taking fan calls coming up here in about ten minutes

141
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: or so. But I wanted to get a reality check

142
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: on this ball club, specifically surrounding the identity, because we've

143
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: seen it go fluctuating a couple of ways. Now, of

144
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: course you've seen the ground and pound. The last couple

145
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: of weeks, it's been Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard dual backfield,

146
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: and then the passing gain has taken a back seat

147
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: and the defense is for some turnovers and gotten you

148
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: the ball. Back Week one, it was pretty much the

149
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: complete opposite of that, except for maybe the defense. But

150
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: I want to ask just each one of you guys.

151
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: I'll start with Hekma, what is the identity of this

152
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: team right now? I feel like that's a tough question.

153
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: It's a loaded question. But if you had to pinpoint it,

154
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: where would you put it? And it is a tough

155
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: question because of the small sample size that we have

156
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: on this team. Um, I think clearly a blind man

157
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: can tell you that this offense is explosive and you

158
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: know what you're getting from them. But the other thing,

159
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: it's just two words when I when I think of

160
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: the defense is intensity, intensity and intentional. And the intentional

161
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: part is you can see that these guys are focusing

162
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: in on their responsibility, do your job, and guys are

163
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: doing their job. And I believe that when it's it's

164
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: something that you hadn't seen around here in a while,

165
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: is that intensity. Guy's flying around and it's you see

166
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: You've seen it from the Tampa game, even though we

167
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: lost that game, the LA game, and now the Philadelphia game,

168
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: where guys are playing with motor and it doesn't stop,

169
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't want, it doesn't start at the first quarter

170
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: and then go away at the fourth quarter. It's all

171
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: the way through. And giving credit to Dan Quinn for

172
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: that because I just feel as though looking at him

173
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: during OTAs and training camp, he spent so much time

174
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: with the defensive line. Right this all you saw was

175
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: Quinn with the defensive line, and that is the one

176
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: group that you're seeing the improvements in immediately. And it's

177
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: just I believe it's just his teaching style, the way

178
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: that he teaches the defense. It's easy for this to,

179
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, to correlate to game time action. So intensity

180
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: and intentional are two things that I'm saying these guys have,

181
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: and that would be what I would say is the

182
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: what was the question of yeah, identity the identity of

183
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: the team. So dan Quinn you mentioned him. I know, Isaiah,

184
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: you've brought it up in the past about his culture

185
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: of hands on learning, his culture of this teaching that's

186
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: going on. It's something that's refreshing because the Cowboys haven't

187
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: had that from a defensive coordinator maybe since before Rod Marinelli.

188
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: Marinelli did that a couple of times, but not to

189
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: the extent of what dan Quinn has been doing. But

190
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: is that all it's taken to turn this defense around.

191
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: I feel like it's got to be more than that, right,

192
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, We've We've replaced some guys, you know, I mean,

193
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: we had a huge off season last year in terms

194
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: of acquisitions, but they are all veterans. You know, this

195
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: year we made a commitment not only to veterans that

196
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: are approven, that understand his system right, so that you

197
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: don't have to teach as much. You can actually just

198
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: adapt and right and integrate. But now he went out

199
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: and got what how many rickies do we draft right

200
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: on the defensive deep inside of the ball, So that

201
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: I mean, so you're intentional, right to Heck's point, and

202
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: intentional about your assignment about what your what your plan

203
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: was right, how you wanted to approach this team. You

204
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: are intentional about the type the veterans that you decided

205
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: to bring in. You were intentional about the type of

206
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: rikies that you wanted to bring in. You intertwine those

207
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: two things and along with the culture that you know

208
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna instill, and all of a sudden, while you

209
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: have the team, for my word, as competitive, not only

210
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: just on that side of the ball, but in all

211
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: three phases, kind of you gotta have to kind of yeah,

212
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: you gotta have that culture of competition too in there

213
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: as well. And I think the additions of the off

214
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: season of guys like Neil and kay Z. I mean,

215
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: Caz is such an underrated in my opinion right now,

216
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: Malie Cooker, who's who's come out and played exceptionally well.

217
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: Safety depth is all of a sudden a thing in Dallas,

218
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: which is something we've never said, Hey, I feel like

219
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: on the in the history of this show. Yeahs playing

220
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: really well. But what does it seeming or what does

221
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: that turnaround taken for you in your rise? Rob, I

222
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: think you guys totally agree. It's a combination. It's play

223
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: style and it's also an infusion of talent, not just

224
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: new guys coming in, but that second year jump that

225
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: Mike keeps talking about with guys like CD obviously on offense,

226
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: but trey On Diggs is now looks like a Pro

227
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: Bowl caliber player in year two. So for what we've

228
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: seen so far, so you know, you're talking about young

229
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: guys developing and they just I mean guys at key

230
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 1: spots are that are new or coming in and Parsons

231
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: Osa have made a huge impact. You mentioned the safety play.

232
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just getting more Mike. Mike sat down

233
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: with the local media right before the start of the

234
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: season and and just kind of talked about some different things,

235
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: and he talked he said something like, we got some

236
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: dudes on this team. And he's right, Like on defense,

237
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we talked last year they needed

238
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: more talent. They've got some some talent on defense, and

239
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: then you you bring in a scheme and a proven

240
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: guy that knows what to do with that talent. It's

241
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: a good mix. And and it hasn't been perfect so far,

242
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: and we can talk about that, but I mean it's

243
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: but it's a lot better than last year. And dude

244
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: is for those that don't understand dude is a synonym

245
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: for dog also player. Yes, okay, there you go, joh

246
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: I like that, all right, Isaiah, what's your identity for

247
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: this ball clubetive? Okay, yeah, right? The turnover margin? I

248
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: think because people, you know, we talked with about the

249
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: coordinators and Mike gives all autonomy to his coordinators and

250
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: he's more of a walk around guy. But his history

251
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: as a head coach is his guys take care of

252
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: the ball and they and they forced turnovers like and

253
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: so he's his identity from the Packers' days that is

254
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: trans It wasn't there last year until late in the season,

255
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: but it's there right now. They'd lead the league in

256
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: turnover margin and some of that in Green Bay was

257
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: you had an all time quarterback who didn't turn it

258
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: over much, but they also forced a lot of turnovers.

259
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: And that's that's that play style thing that he talks

260
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: about talking about daily in training camp, and it's it's

261
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: paying off. I mean, you're seeing the imprint right now. Yeah.

262
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: I completely agree with all of you guys, and you

263
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: kind of alluded to it a minute ago. We didn't

264
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: get a chance to touch on it yesterday, but time

265
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: management might be a question mark for this ball club

266
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: and for this coaching staff. And I know a couple

267
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: of the other his shows on Dallas Cowboys dot Com

268
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: hit on it pretty extensively, and of course the local

269
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: media hit on it extensively. But what did you think

270
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: about the end of the second quarter, less than a

271
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: minute left, it was fourth down. It looked like for

272
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: the moment Philadelphia was going to punt and or go

273
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: for it. It was a decision to be made right

274
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: around midfield. There was no time out called. The Monday

275
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: night football broadcast said, what do you do in, Mike MacArthur,

276
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: You could get the football back here if you really

277
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: wanted to. I didn't have as big of a problem

278
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: I feel like, as a lot of other people did

279
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: with the decision. But heckma, what did you think about

280
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: what the decision was ultimately to have the no time

281
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: out call? I'm kind of with you, Kyle, I really

282
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: I think knowing this defense and knowing that they have

283
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: the big play giving up the big plays the way

284
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: that they have, I worry about that every game, and

285
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: you saw it in the Philadelphia game, those big, chunk,

286
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: gash plays that they've been given up. I think Mike

287
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: McCarthy is getting this bad rap on time management, and

288
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: it's it's it's followed him from Green Bay when you

289
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: talk about the turnovers and all those other other things

290
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: that have followed him as well. And the critics of

291
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy are gonna jump on that at every stop

292
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: anytime he does that, but didn't decide the football game.

293
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: It did not. But will situations like that decide a

294
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: football game? Yes? And so I think going back to

295
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: it's all about situational awareness for me. And you have

296
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: coaches like Belichick in New England, there's no one ever

297
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: questions his game management ever because he seems to be

298
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: on every part of every football game. But then you

299
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: take guys from the coach from Seattle, the way that

300
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: he handled certain things in clock management situations, and I

301
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: just feel as though coaches try to be as perfect

302
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: as they possibly can, but then there are situations where

303
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: they can't. I don't want to grill Mike McCarthy for that,

304
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: because I think there are other positive things that he's

305
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: brought brought to the table that people are not going

306
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: to give him any credit for. I didn't like that,

307
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: I didn't like the decision that he made but I mean,

308
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: ultimately it didn't call you the game. But it's something

309
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: that's everybody wants to talk about because of the what

310
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: IFFs we're gonna be in some type battles this year.

311
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that at some point in time you're gonna

312
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: have those games, and we don't want to see these

313
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: types of decisions kind of flourish and kind of turn

314
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: into something that we're where that we become more common.

315
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: So I didn't like it. I wish we would have

316
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: been more aggressive and call the time out and got

317
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: the ball back and had opportunity to score because they

318
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: were getting the ball back if I've remember correctly, after

319
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: the half. So anytime that they're getting the ball back

320
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: and we have an opportunity to try to score, I

321
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: want to get at least three points upon the board's

322
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm talking about. Knowing that that team

323
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: was going to get the ball back at the after

324
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: half and if you if disaster happens, you know, and

325
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: that's all. What if I think they had like a

326
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: third and twenty seven at the time, I mean, what

327
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: are the probability of them actually converting on the third

328
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: and twenty seven? I just Mike didn't take the opportunity.

329
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: He went in the halftime and left those time out somewhere.

330
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: He was comfortable, he was his seat was warm. But

331
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: that's the thing that I completely agree, because that's what

332
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: people are looking at. You're looking at the what ifs

333
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: with that situation, specifically of hey, this is a mistake. Yeah,

334
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a mistake. I think it

335
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: was a decision. It was a missed opportunity. The end

336
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: of the Chargers game where you almost botched a fifty

337
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: six yard game winning field goal attempt because of your

338
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: lack of time management. That was a mistake that almost

339
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: cost you a game. Luckily it didn't. But then this

340
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: lingers in. You're up twenty to seven. You don't want

341
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: to give up the big play. It's situational awareness, so

342
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: people like people would want to see your foot on

343
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: the pedal because sure people want to see you And

344
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: that's for another lack of a note. If there's a

345
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: chance you're getting a crash. I'm just saying, yeah, you

346
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: guess it's gotta live your life a quarter mile at

347
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: a time. Cole. It's like running yellow life, giving you

348
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: hey when you up like that. Yeah, dragged him boy,

349
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: no in your in your offense is dragged him family.

350
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: It's all about family. Right now, We're gonna have a

351
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: movie reference every podcast, every I'm here for. Chris's gotta

352
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: get like a ding in the back every time there's

353
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: a movie reference, it's gonna pop up. But I said,

354
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: if you're playing Madden right and you've beating somebody and

355
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: they and they have that situation, they're third and long

356
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: and you got a minute left, I'm calling time out.

357
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean time because I want the ball back. I

358
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: think it's uh you mentioned common. I think that's the

359
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: thing with fans like I think it's it's been a

360
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: cumulative effect because you mentioned the end of game situation

361
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: gets a charger. Three games now three situations at the

362
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: end of the half where it's like huh what and

363
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: you can disagree with it if you want, and most

364
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: people have and I did. I was surprised by this too.

365
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: I would have you know, you couldn't stop this offense.

366
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: So I thought, you know, just like you said, finish

367
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: the game right there, you basically could have. Um, I

368
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: can make people feel better up go ahead if you

369
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: call a time out right there. If coach Fossil was

370
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna do what he'll go after the punt. We're going

371
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: after I'm gonna make everybody feel better. That would have happened,

372
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. That was the decision that

373
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: would follow that time out. You were coming after the

374
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: punt because you want to keep the ball on side.

375
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: I think what Mike was fifteen, So in reality, he

376
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: saved a call. But I think he was thinking and

377
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: he kind of referenced this yesterday. We probably would have

378
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: been penn back in our own territory. Look what happened

379
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. Yep, Um Javon Hargrave was a

380
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: problem with the past rush. Let's not have a repeat

381
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: of that. And I think he trusts his defense. I don't.

382
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: He couldn't say that last year. I think they I

383
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: think they looked at this game and said, we don't

384
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: need to do anything out of the ordinary to win

385
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: this football game. And last year some of those special

386
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: teams decisions, you know, you could call it desperation whatever.

387
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: They didn't. They felt like they could just win this

388
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: game straight up, and they did and they won by

389
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: twenty points. Yeah, and we're still finding something to nitpick,

390
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: but that's kind of how it goes around these parts.

391
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of welcome to how Yeah, well

458
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: struggle with covering tight ends and it's something that I

459
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: think is going to really rear its ugly head as

460
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: we get start playing those teams, you know, Casey, who

461
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: have great tight ends. So I'm concerned with that defensively.

462
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: But other than that, I love the direction of the

463
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: defense and where they're at right now. I want to

464
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts. Thanks, guys, appreciate the call, Bob. Bob,

465
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: you hasn't been in my head because as last night

466
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: as I'm watching film and I came in and started

467
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: having a conversation with Heck the tight ends for Carolina.

468
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: I like him I like him. I like him a

469
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: law and they are going to present a problem for us.

470
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: So your question that you have will be answered this

471
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: week because we are going to be challenged. Gronkowski is

472
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: a specimen. Let's not even act like anybody can can

473
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 1: guard him or tame him. These guys are They come

474
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: at you in bundles. They got three tight ends at all,

475
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: are very active in their offense. They all give a

476
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: thousand percent effort. And we are going to be tested

477
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: in that regard. So to your question, we will find

478
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: out this week now. And I love our big Nickel

479
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: when we go big Nickel and we have curse in

480
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: the ball game. His ability to stay on those seam

481
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: routes in which a lot of tight ends like to run,

482
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, option routes, anything that gives you visibility for

483
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I think we were proving that we can

484
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: get in be in a situation to stop those tight ends.

485
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: Now we're getting Now we're getting into the territory like

486
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: Bob just mentioned, where we're going to see some really

487
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: good tight endplay. And as you you show me basically

488
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: before the show that the Panthers have some tight ends

489
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: that we have to worry about and so look, I

490
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: think for this defense, the number one thing is sticking

491
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: to the script, stopping the run, making sure that we

492
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: don't give up any of that. And then going into

493
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: this week, you realize the Panthers don't have McCaffrey. Possibly

494
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: don't want to get too far hit on that, but

495
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying defensively, I think we present problems for

496
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: the offense so that look, you got to get the

497
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: ball out as quick quickly as possible, and if you

498
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: can jump those then I like our success with our

499
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: linebackers because we've had such good play in production from

500
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: those guys. I totally agree, Bob. I think segment three

501
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: we were going to talk about like concerns, and that's

502
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: covering tight ends was going to be one of mine,

503
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: because it's not just the coverage part of it. I

504
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: think Artz's three yard touchdown in the third quarter, they

505
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: just lost him. You know, I don't I don't know

506
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: what the coverage bus was there or what the assignment was,

507
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: but this kind of goes back to like twenty nineteen,

508
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: they had trouble covering tight ends all the way back

509
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: to Marinelli's last year. I do think Curse's addition helps

510
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: in that regard. Um, but we've seen it already. I

511
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: mean Chargers had uh you know, they did a pretty

512
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: good job on Jered Cook. Yeah, but you know, Gronkowski's

513
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: a problem. You're right about Carolina, And there's more guys

514
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: on the schedule. Got Darren Waller down the line, You

515
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: got Jet or excuse me, Travis Kelsey down the line.

516
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: Are the top two? Yeah? Yeah, you've got some good

517
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: tight ends on this this roster. I think Neil Neil

518
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: could add to that. Neil's addition could be better for

519
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: covering tight ends. He was unavailable this week. He was

520
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: definitely available against Los Angeles. I like Neil. I just

521
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: feel as though Neil's particular uh strong suit is covering

522
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: out in the flat. Yeah, covering out in the flat.

523
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: And yes, that's what I'm trying to say. I think

524
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: in a one on one situation, I think he gets exposed. Um.

525
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: So I just I know where you're going with. I

526
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: just you know, I'm just liking better out in the

527
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: flat with I don't necessarily disagree and Bob my concern

528
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: and will address of some of some of our other

529
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: shows this week as well, But my concern with Carolina

530
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: is just a concern. Just a concern is our ability.

531
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm confident in our in our big Nickel's ability to

532
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: stick on tight ends when they have their hand in

533
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: the ground. There's two different elements to stick in a

534
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: tight end, right. Heck, when you put your hand in

535
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: the ground on three point stands, I can stand over

536
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: over you, right over your head and guess what I

537
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: want to make it more challenging on you. But if

538
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: I come up, But if you stand up, now, you

539
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: can release. Now you can release like a receiver. Right now,

540
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: you could use your strength to your advantage. Now I

541
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: can't get on top of you. Right while you're trying

542
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: to raise up and stand up and run. You're ready

543
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: in a running position. The game changes, right your ability

544
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: to get out the gate and run or immediately changes.

545
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see how we handle that, because

546
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: that is what Carolina does. Carolina runs a lot of

547
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: eleven personnel. They're gonna always have a tight end of game.

548
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: A lot of times they run twelve as well, because

549
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: they like to use all their tight ends. But those

550
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: guys like to be detached. They like to be separate

551
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: from the offensive line. They like to be their own

552
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: person and so up to us, to the viewer, it

553
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: looks like four wide receivers four wide, but it's really

554
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: three wide in a tight end. Yeah, and Quinn brought

555
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: up yesterday he was asked about not probably not having

556
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: McCaffrey in this game, and he said, look, the production

557
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: is going to have to go to somebody else and

558
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: not not just Hubbard. You know, obviously he's if he's

559
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: gonna be, he would be the starter. But they've got

560
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: to supplement that production somewhere, and a lot of it.

561
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: It's passing game too. McCaffrey is so good in that

562
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: area as well. He could do so many things, and

563
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: you see it on the film and you see it

564
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: year in and year out. Teams know what's coming and

565
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: they still can't stop. It, still can't store and how

566
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: do they how do they replace that production? Though, it's

567
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: going to be interesting how to spread it out. It's

568
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: gonna be DJ Moore, Robbie Anderson. I think they're gonna

569
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: go all over the place. It's gonna be fun to watch.

570
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully later after this week, let's let's talk about Week five,

571
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: Week six. The line. All right, Rocky from South Carolina

572
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: is on the line. You're almost an enemy territory? What

573
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: you got for us on talking cowboys? Oh well, I

574
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: just want to say I'm a law time listeners and

575
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it quick here. Um one, that was

576
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: definitely a touchdown with that prep Rock. I'm with you, Rocky,

577
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm with you. That's right, man. And um, I just

578
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: want to know do you think that Jabril Cox gets

579
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: worked in the lineup at all? Because I feel like

580
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: he could help out on a little bit of coverage

581
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: with the tight ends and probably add some pressure as well.

582
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: And I'll just leave it at that. I'm good, appreciate it, Rock,

583
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Rocky. We have some really smart

584
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: listeners because this is these really concerns we were talking

585
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: about off air and it's like Bama and the problem

586
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: with that. The problem with that, Kyle, is that you

587
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: would say we have some dumb listeners to get the positive.

588
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: That's how true know you're you're truthful. Maybe that's just

589
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: dumb host. No, that's not where I was going. Hey, Rock, Hey,

590
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: great question and to answer your and to answer your question,

591
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: I believe we will see a lot more Jabril Cox

592
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: this week. I think we'll see a lot less banner

593
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: asking a lot less Jaylen's Smith this week, just because

594
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: what they do well doesn't necessarily net us that advantage

595
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: against this particular team. That's just my view. I'm not

596
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: saying that you don't use them, but I'm saying it's

597
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: more Tampa Bay usage than it is Chargers usage. I

598
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if I if I see

599
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: him getting a lot of run. He was in there

600
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,479
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think he got a few snaps. Well,

601
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: that's what he was drafted out of college four was

602
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: his coverage ability as a linebacker. I mean that's like

603
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: a safety. He was a legit coverage linebacker at LSU.

604
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: So I like the idea, but I think I'm with you.

605
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how much he rotates in because you

606
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: can still find something similar from the other guys you have. Yeah,

607
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: I think it could be another curse gamer playing the

608
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: entire game. But you're gonna need two of those guys. Yeah,

609
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: and Neil to your point, I don't know if he's

610
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: back from COVID list this week. So I mean, in

611
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: the event that that those are our realities where we

612
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: don't have Neil, than Jabril Cox would be the next

613
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: best thing. I mean, at some point, guys, I've been

614
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: lobbying for our younger guys to get a little bit

615
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: more burned, but they haven't. And you know, like like

616
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: Kyle just said, you know, out of college, that was

617
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: his main thing is ability to stick tight ends. And

618
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: so when we get the question about being burned by

619
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: tight ends and you have a guy that does that,

620
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: let's see, you know, you know, kind of like it.

621
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: But I think the evaluation process for this team happens

622
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: every day, and if guys were showing it in practice,

623
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: I think they would be doing it in the game.

624
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: And I strongly believe that our approach offensively and defensively,

625
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: we special teams were still figuring that out is we

626
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: are going to meet our opponents where they are at.

627
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: And so if Jabril Cox provides us the most leverage

628
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: this week, then guess what Jabril Cox would be out there.

629
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: Whatever we see lineup out there on Sunday will be

630
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: exactly what our coaches believe gives us the best option.

631
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: And it's not it's not like other rosters. Other rosters

632
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: like these are our guys, and we just got to

633
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: adapt based upon whatever or whatever we face. That's not

634
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: how we operate this year. We have the personnel to

635
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: match your personnel, and whatever we think works, that's we'll

636
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: put out there. And dan Quinn shown he's willing to adjust.

637
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: Not I don't know if I want to move Michael

638
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: Parsons the defensive end this week, because I don't know.

639
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't know in the pass that they would have

640
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: done that and said, look, you're you're rushing the entire

641
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: game because this is the matchup we like, and that's

642
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: what they've done. It's matchup ball match something you haven't seen.

643
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,959
Speaker 1: And dan Quinn once again, he's alluded to it all

644
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: the way back to training camp. So, um, I put

645
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: all guards out there. I'm not leaving my big band

646
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: out there. Yep. I love it. Adjust, react and keep

647
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: on yeah, keep on adapting, all right. Kevin from Pennsylvania

648
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: is on the line. Kevin, how's it going, mister Kyle

649

Speaker 1: had to call you guys this week, So Kyle knows.

653
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: I am a die hard, lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan who

654
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: lives in the Philadelphia area got an Eagle fan, God

655
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: bless you, an actual I do a podcast called Birds

656
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: Verse Boys with just me and an Eagles fan. So

657
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, this week I was locked in a boxing

658
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: ring with two Eagles fans live streaming that game in Atlantics,

659
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: talking about boxing ring like he's actually in a boxing

660
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: ring at like a bar, and it was literally them

661
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: too through the whole game, and it was this has

662
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: been just such a phenomenal week. I don't think I

663
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: remember a game that has given me such a joy

664
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 1: in a long time. Kevin, that is dude, You're my hero.

665
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean Lord's work. Yeah, I'm telling you that's what

666
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: exactly what he's doing, because I can only imagine, like

667
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: for me, that's like the like as a Cowboy fan,

668
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: you want to test your metal, go to a Cowboys

669
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Philly game in Philly. Let's make it out var mighty mix.

670
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: And so I'm guessing you enjoyed that Cowboys Twitter post

671
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: at the end with a T shirt huh oh, without

672
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: a doubt, because I actually saw a couple of people

673
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: wearing those shirts around here and it it's it's over.

674
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, and now I'm now I get

675
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: to go this week to the Eagles Chiefs game for

676
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: my wife's, my system law's birthday. So I'm just gonna

677
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm having way too much fun. I have to enjoy

678
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: it with you guys. But I did I did have

679
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: one question moving forward. So, I mean, I've been loving

680
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing from the defense, especially from Modigi Zua.

681
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: Do we know about Neville Gallimore's recovery because I can't

682
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: wait to see the two of them. This team has

683
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: to find a way to get the two of them

684
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: on the field together correct once he's healthy. Oh, for sure,

685
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean I think Os is definitely in

686
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: the rotation when he comes back, and he will be back,

687
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna be I don't know if it's

688
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: gonna be before the bye. We'll see, Mike said all

689
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: the guys on IR it's going to be at least

690
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: a couple more weeks. But he you know, he's been

691
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: out there doing some rehab stuff at the start of

692
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: practice when we've been out there and he's looked good.

693
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: You know, he's working with Britt so he's making progress. Yeah,

694
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm excited for everything this defense. It's just so refreshing

695
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: seeing guys on our defense getting their ball, getting their

696
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: hands on the ball because we never see that, and

697
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: then take it into the end zone. I mean, I

698
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: love it. You guys keep doing what you're doing. I

699
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: listened up here. Trust me, you guys get a following

700
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: all all across this country. So keep doing what you're doing.

701
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: And uh, I'll keep I'll keep putting up the good

702
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: fight up here. I got you. That's awesome. He's doing

703
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: great work out there. K Mess is the guy, and

704
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean Birds Versus Boys is their podcast. If you

705
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: wanted to see some some jawing back and forth, that's

706
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: that's one thing. I mean we think Hecma and Isaiah

707
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: go after and every now and again, but no, that's

708
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: not the case. The question is do they bring those

709
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: shirts back out when we play them? There's no way. God,

710
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: that's a great question. What or do you just throw

711
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: those away or do you put them away in your drum?

712
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: You gotta say, Choul, like, once you've done it, you

713
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: can't you can't go away from it. Now you're all

714
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: so you think they put it back, you have to

715
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: internal conversation when you when they pull that shirt out there,

716
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: I feel like a loser, like they have like the

717
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: little RinkyDink drawer that probably pulls out. You know what

718
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to go, you gotta jingle a

719
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, I mean to get it on

720
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: the rail. Did you get on the rail? Sometimes not

721
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: even on the rail. Sometimes you just lift it up

722
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: and just put it instead of down, and then you

723
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: gotta dig down in there and then they pull it out.

724
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Robin, sprinkle it a couple

725
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: of times and they look at it. It smells like wood.

726
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: Last time I put this on musty and it's like

727
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: the like flashbacks. Yeah, flashbacks. You gotta commit. You gotta commit.

728
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: You you think there were that loyal you know they're

729
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: gonna have to be. I appreciate the loyalty from these two,

730
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: these two gentlemen, because of saying, hey, let's go back out.

731
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: But you got your butt with Yeah, you got your

732
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: There's no hope. I don't want to. I mean, I

733
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: could cuss there, but I'm not going to. You got

734
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: just destroyed on national television and everyone in the country

735
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: knew that that was the thing. You say. Sometimes you

736
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: say stuff that I don't get to later and I'm

737
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: sorry I've delayed. Nope, not gonna gonna say it. I

738
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,759

Speaker 1: been through that too, so yeah, I'm right there with you.

805
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: But but they're great. Yeah, they are there. I've been

806
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: through a lot of doctors zy doctors in my time,

807
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: and they were right up. That's awesome, and that's that's

808
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: that's not good people, just because it's a read, all right,

809
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: what are our concerns going into week four? We've got

810
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: a first place Dallas Cowboys team, which is I'd love

811
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: saying that every episode first place Dallas Cowboys A two

812
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: and one. There is a test coming up with the

813
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Yes, even though they don't have Christian McCaffrey,

814
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: even though they are a little banged up on defense

815
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: as well. This is not an easy task. This is

816
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: not an easy game. They are three and oh, for

817
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: a reason. And Sam Arnold is playing some really good

818
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: football right now at the quarterback position. So what is

819
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: your biggest concern? Rob? We're gonna start with you on

820
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: this one heading into week four, based off of the

821
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: short sample size that you've had from the Cowboys so far, Um,

822
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: there's not a ton of concerns. But I would go

823
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: back to what Bob said, and it's it's the amount

824
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: of big plays they've just pure yardage that they've allowed,

825
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, And that's why these rankings you have to

826
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: they're misleading because I don't I forget where the Cowboys

827
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 1: are ranked in total defense right now. It's towards the bottom,

828
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: I think because of just pure yardage are allowed. But

829
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: they've done a good job not allowing a ton of

830
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: points and the takeaways obviously, but they've there have been

831
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: some big plays. And you go back to Week two

832
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: with Herbert, you know, a couple penalties cost them and

833
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: prevented even more big yardage. So it's been kind of

834
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: a been don't break thing at times on defense and

835
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some more of those those games coming.

836
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: In terms of like talent that they're facing, and Donald

837
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: is playing well You're right, tied for twenty sixth in

838
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,760
Speaker 1: total yardage, and if you want to feel better about

839
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: that number, I mean, of course you're still winning games

840
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: and your defense looks better than it has been. But

841
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: the team that they're tied with is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

842
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: Oh right, so in that interesting right, So it's of today,

843
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: he said, what Tampa Bay is addressing that as of today?

844
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, they are Richard Sherman on his way to

845
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. All right, Isaiah, what you're concerned? My concern

846
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: for this Jesus missed opportunities. My concern is can we

847
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 1: I believe that through the first three weeks our intensity

848
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: has been greater than our opponents. Even with the loss

849
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: to Tampa I think our intensity has been greater. Now,

850
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: our execution wasn't on point with with Tampa Bay in

851
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: a lot of regards. Our effort was there, right, But

852
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that we're gonna out effort these guys.

853
00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: These guys run and fly around offensively and defensively. My

854
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: concern is will we match it and not allow them

855
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: to out hustle us on every play? Because they do that.

856
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: They do that, and when you play those teams. The

857
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: reason why I believe that they're three and oh it

858
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: is not because they have just some of these these

859
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: amazing playmakers and they didn't play anybody. They didn't play

860
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: anybody like these dudes, and obviously they haven't had the

861
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: competition that we've had yet this year. Sure, okay, cool,

862
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 1: that's that's a fun fact of the day. But these

863
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: guys effort can't be questioned. That's what that happened. When

864
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 1: I watch I watch a lot of film in my life.

865
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: These guys jump off the screen. Every single guy on

866
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: the field jumps out the screen. And then they have

867
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: their guys that they rely on to make plays. But

868
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: the intensity level what we're seeing on our side of

869
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: the defensively on that side of the ball, in terms

870
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: of guys flying to the ball, hitting, being excited, high energy,

871
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 1: they have that too on that side of the ball

872
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: as well as offensively. So when we start talking about

873
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: these tight ends, go back and watch the game. Anybody

874
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: who has the NFL game pass, go back and watch

875
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: these tight ends. These dudes want to run you into

876
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: the ground. They are high effort guys that are going

877
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: ten fifteen yards down the field. These guys present a

878
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 1: problem in that regard will how will we meet them?

879
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: Will we meet them head on when it comes to effort,

880
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 1: and will we be able to have the the what's

881
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for, the longevity to be able

882
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: to go through the whole game with that intensity. Can

883
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: we match that for four quarters? How to have the

884
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: same stamina? No? And you know what I think, adding

885
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: to what you just said, I think it's the Matt

886
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: role effect. If you looked at him from his career

887
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: in Temple to Baylor, all of his teams they compete hard,

888
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: and they finished five and eleven last year, but all

889
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: of those eleven losses were decided by eight points or less. Yep.

890
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: And so that means they're highly competitive in all of

891
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: the games that they're playing in. And so I agree

892
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 1: with you, you have to match that intensity. But Rob,

893
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: I think I'm in lyne with what you're talking about

894
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: the big plays, and I think that's the thing that's

895
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: keeping us at twenty six, because other than that, we're

896
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: shutting down the run. And the problem with Carolina is

897
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: that they're number six in y'all after catch, big playability

898
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: things like that, and we're thirty first in that regard.

899
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: So that is a concern of mine. You know, if

900
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: we get there to get the guy tackle, get him

901
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: on the ground, don't allow tremendous yards after the catch,

902
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: don't allow drives to continue, and methodically, uh, you allow

903
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: these guys to go down the field. So I'm gonna

904
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: be looking at that. But I think just the gash

905
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: plays that we've been getting giving up is a thing

906
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: of concern. That's a legitimate concern. And the reason why

907
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 1: I say that is because the personnel that these guys

908
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: come out with, and they're how they run their offense,

909
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: the type of routes that they run from those formations.

910
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: You cannot play zone against these guys. They will pick

911
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 1: you apart. They will they will find they will pick

912
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: you apart. All these guys running curls, all at the

913
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: same level, the same depth, at five different spots. You there,

914
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: there's a hole in there every single time. Are you

915
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 1: picking the Panthers? No, no, no, no, I'm not picking

916
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: the Panthers. I'm not picking a Pathers. No, no, no, nonogy.

917
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: Every week. Listen, we're playing professional football, Right's professional football.

918
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: Every team's gonna have something that you should be concerned about. Okay, Right,

919
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: So that's why we have this show. We have these

920
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about these concerns. I don't know. What

921
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: I'm saying is we have to play man. We have

922
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,240
Speaker 1: to play man. So when we started talking about Jabril

923
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: Cox and we started talking about Curse and their impact

924
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: on the game, We're going to have to play man.

925
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: If you play zone, you will get destroyed. I'm just

926
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 1: gonna say that today. If we try to play zone,

927
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: we will get destroyed, especially if we can't get a

928
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: dog on pass rush. These guys protect the quarterback well

929
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: until they go empty. As soon as they go empty,

930
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 1: they have issues. When they don't go empty, they protect

931
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: right and they don't have to hold the ball on

932
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: because these guys are running eight yards down the field.

933
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: They are This team is okay catching the ball eight

934
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: yards and he comes to the line scrimmage and running

935
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: the ball. And he comes to the line scrimmage and

936
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: catching the ball for eight yards. They're okay working down

937
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: the field. Unlike Philly. Philly wanted to take the big

938
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: shot like we talked about, and we made them pay.

939
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: Just like we talked about. This team is okay marching

940
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: down the field. But when we go man, then we're

941
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: one on one with DJ Moore. Then we're one on

942
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 1: one with Robbie Anderson. Not to me, guys fast or

943
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: than Robie Anderson in his league. So we have to

944
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: play man against these guys and then you, guys till

945
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: your guys point twenty six in the league. That's when

946
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 1: that really gets highlighted. You. Cameron Irvan is a left tackle.

947
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: I know, I know that. I saw that. I saw

948
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,479
Speaker 1: that get after the former Cowboy. I can say former

949
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: cowboy because he was on the team last year, but

950
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 1: he didn't really play a lot, so but he is

951
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: their left tackle, all right. I Guess who's number one

952
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: on that list in terms of yards allowed the game defensively?

953
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: Guess who's number one on that list? By right? Carolina, Oh,

954
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: number one number yards allowed, their number one in rushing

955
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: yards allowed, and number one in passing yards allowed. And

956
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: good thing Cowboys are gonna try and muddy up that number.

957
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: We don't see Sunday. All right, that's it for us.
