WEBVTT - Talkin' Cowboys: Who Has The Best Wideouts? 0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:06.840 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:17.760 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys, 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:21.639 straining live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.320 Star in Fris Joe, flowing to the Gold Live. There 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:31.200 saw that Scott pictures back today and now your hosts 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:36.760 Isaiah Stanback, heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:43.760 for the second straight day, you we bring you Talking Cowboys. 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.200 How about that two in a row here on nine 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.120 thirty as we're actually or I'm actually in studio the 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:54.600 s WBC Mortgage Studios. We're still virtual, we'll still still 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.200 rolling from different spots overall, but we're glad to have 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.200 you with us here on Talking Cowboys. We continue leading 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.880 up to Game week and the Los Angeles Rams Sunday 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:09.880 Night Football at seven twenty Kyle Yeoman's alongside Rob Phillips, 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:14.720 heckm Harrison, and our residence Super Bowl champion Isaiah standback, guys, 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.640 it's four days away. I saw the Cowboys posted today 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.399 that it was dac days away, and so I feel 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.160 like that's a pretty fitting way to describe it. But overall, 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.399 it's it's inching up. You're starting to kind of dive 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.200 into these matchups. We're gonna preview both the RAMS offense 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.840 and the RAMS defense over the next two days. Today 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.240 is specifically going to be centered around the offense, and 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.679 then we'll move into the defense tomorrow. However, we do 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:44.920 have some RAMS defensive breaking news and I just before 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.160 we went on, actually about twenty seconds before we went on, 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.480 Chris Beam, our producer in the back, was the one 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.760 that broke the news to us. But Isaiah, I know 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.480 you've got the numbers. Jalen Ramsey just signed his new deal. 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.480 He's been waiting on it for a long time. It 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.960 was actually a centerpiece in the HBO series of Hot 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.800 Hard Knocks this year, and he turns around and actually 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:11.880 gets it signed today. What were the specifics on that deal, Isaiah, Man, 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.639 it looks like we got five years up to one 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.800 hundred and five million dollars with seventy one point two 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:23.359 million dollars guarantee. Mister motormouth will be talking a lot 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.440 this Sunday. He will be talking a lot. God goodly, 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.239 he's got that. He's got that brake truck for real 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:35.240 now right? Seven one million garon t is that that's 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.760 the highest paid dB contract ever I think has to be. 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.880 We're talking about that's quarterback money. That is, that's an 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.480 insane amount of money. And you look at what he 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.880 was making previously. He was on a four year deal 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.080 which was twenty three point three million. I believe that 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.519 was signed during his time in Jacksonville before he was 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.320 actually traded over and became a part of the lost. 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.400 So you see, he got a little bit of a 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:01.760 rais he got a raise, and he's somebody who's just hey, Kyle, 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.760 just a little bit of a raise, right, Yeah, just 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.680 a little bit. It's a raise that I know I 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.520 would at least want to be a part of my paycheck. 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.800 But it's okay, I'm not going to get into that. 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.160 I could, Yeah, I could this week many different Maybe 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.280 somebody else who got a new deal was actually on 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.280 the Cowboys side of things. Randy Gregory signed his new 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.120 deal in an extension yesterday as reported by ESPN and 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.960 Ian Rap Report, and also Zack Martin restructuring his deal 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.320 as well. Rob What were some of the specifics on 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:37.960 each of those new UH deals? One an extension one UH? 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:44.920 What's it called a restructuring from restruct Jack Martin. Rob, Yeah, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.360 that's that's something the Cowboys do with some of their 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.400 cornerstone guys, and it's just a way to kind of 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:54.000 move money around and create some money for probably mostly 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.720 for next year when you're when you're thinking about Dak 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:00.640 Prescott and a potential franchise tag again to keep negotiating 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.040 throughout the offseason. They did it with Tyrant Smith a 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.200 couple of weeks ago, restructuring his deal, and then Gregory. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.000 He is now signed through twenty twenty one. He was 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.280 set to be a restricted free agent after this season, 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.240 and it was something the Cowboys were looking at doing 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.120 in the past, but it couldn't happen because of his suspension. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.159 So now he's got a couple of years at least 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.960 with the Cowboys. Hey, Rob, you know what everybody's thinking 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.160 that that restructure of Zach Martin, that money is for 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.680 you know who? Right, So I'm not gonna start that. 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:37.240 I'm not looking well that, Yeah, I mean that that 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.520 was what was the Tyran restructure was the day the 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.160 man you're talking about got released from a certain team 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.279 in the AFC North. So yeah, connect the dots and 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.240 all that. I think it's for next year. I think 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.200 it's for next year, but it's fun to talk about it. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.120 It's fun to talk. I just love the looking up 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.400 and I can't wait for Monday's show. I was just 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.520 a big fan of Isaiah's face and he was just 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.400 like looking around like, Oh, were getting into the again. 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.880 Can I smell it? This is going to happen again overall, 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.840 But I think I'm right, I'm right there with you, Rob. 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.480 I think this is a next year move. I think 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.480 this is freeing up cap space for potentially trying to 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.080 bring back your quarterback. I think that's probably the number 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.840 one priority in everyone's mind going into next year. So 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.960 potentially restructuring Zac Martin could help that out moving forward. 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:27.280 But well, just remember too, the cap right now is 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.640 like one hundred and ninety eight million, and it could 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.560 drop significantly next year. We don't we don't really know. 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.640 I think the floor is like one seventy five. But 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:36.599 you got to prepare for that because you just don't 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.480 know what the revenue losses are going to be around 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.440 the league. Yeah, things are going to definitely be different 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.560 moving forward, and you expect it to hopefully stay similar 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.320 after COVID nineteen and after everything kind of works itself 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.000 out there, but it's it's still something that's a little 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.360 bit uncertain across the league. And I mean that's even 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.680 across the league. It's not just the Cowboys that are 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.320 having to deal with that sort of thing moving forward. 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.360 But let's get into this Rams matchup, and we kind 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.440 of previewed it a little bit yesterday just speaking on 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.480 exactly who could come out and have that that breakout 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.680 game if this fifty three man roster is good enough 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.600 to challenge the Rams. And we'll make our predictions on Friday. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.920 But I think overall this has been and just looking 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.840 back at the history of the Rams and the Cowboys, 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.880 this is one of the more interesting series I think 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.680 the Cowboys have had against the franchise across each of 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.839 their organization's history. I mean, it's the thirty second all 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.760 time meeting and the Cowboys lead the all time series 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.920 eighteen seventeen, and so it's been even, which is not 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.120 something you can say with a lot of the series 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.840 throughout the Cowboys organizational history, especially those who they have 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.920 played since nineteen sixty. Of course, this being the sixty 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.200 first season of Dallas Cowboys football, this is a team 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.520 they played in their first season as a franchise, and 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.920 they've been able to kind of go back and forth 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.200 and trade blows all the way through. Now. The Cowboys 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.040 have one four of the last five regular season matchups, 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.279 and they defeated the Rams last year forty four twenty 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.520 one and a beat down at AT and T Stadium 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.040 on Week fifteen of last year. But guys, this is 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.560 not the same Los Angeles Rams team by any means. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.560 And heck, I know you've been doing your research and 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.960 you've been looking at the Rams overall, but on the 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.120 offensive side of the football, this isn't the same running 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.560 attack that they've had in the past. No Todd Gurley, 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.680 no C. J. Anderson. Of course he's been Yon for 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.400 a little bit longer than Gurley has. But this is 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.480 a team that might struggle to run the football a 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:36.280 little bit, aren't they. No, Well, Sean McVeigh is a 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.880 pass he wants to be. He is the passing guru, 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.800 right and last year, based off of the numbers, they 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.679 just completely abandoned the run all together. And so thinking 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.200 about them going forward as a running team, and I 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.240 know we're going to get into their offensive line and 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.040 some of their woes that they are experiencing there, but 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.080 the rookie that they picked up from Florida State cam Acres. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.760 If you read any of the beat writers stuff coming 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.920 out of Los Angeles, these guys are high on him, 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.560 really expecting for him to make a step this year 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.800 and being I wouldn't say an improvement over Todd Gurley, no, 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.080 but at the same time be someone that can be 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.320 productive in that backfield. Which Rams team are we going 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.840 to see her? We're gonna see the Rams from last 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.520 year again, who abandoned the run? Sean McVey, the boy 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.280 genius three years ago. I mean, the guy can't remember 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.760 what he ate for breakfast in first grade. So we 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.080 just have to you just have to know it and 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:34.439 just understand that no matter what, the Cowboys know that 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.120 they're facing a very multidimensional offense that can play a 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.920 plethora of tempos. So it's gonna be interesting, especially being 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.200 the first game without having any tape on what they 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.760 did in the preseason. Isaiah, whenever it comes to this 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.959 this running attack, and we'll start we'll start kind of 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.200 going through the passing attack here in the second segment. 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.640 But well, what is it like replacing a face of 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.520 the franchise? I mean, that's what Todd Gurley was. I mean, 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:03.240 he will the equivalent of what Ezekiel Elliott has been 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.240 to the Cowboys the last couple of years. He was 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.400 the equivalent of that to the Los Angeles Rams, even 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.400 from the move from Saint Louis to LA. He was 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.920 really that first face of the re established La franchise 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.280 of the Rams. What is it like replacing a guy 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.800 like that, not only from an organizational standpoint, but specifically 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:25.880 in the locker room. Yeah, I wish I could talk 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.720 to the locker room side of things over in terms 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.400 of how things went down over there, because I know 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.120 it was a little it was a little shaky. Um 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.160 in terms of his exit, right, I mean, obviously they 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.160 started cutting back his ramps. Say, they were out there 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.360 putting out reports that he was, Oh, he's healthy, he's 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.280 just we're just getting some other guys some raps, and 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:40.640 he'd come to find out he has a bad and 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.280 his knees really bothering him. So I'm not sure how 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.719 the locker room setting was there, But in terms of 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.839 somebody with his stature, somebody in his position leaving the organization, 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.240 I think those are hard shoes to feel. Um, obviously 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.080 you got you got, you got uh Malcolm Brown, who's 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:56.920 been there, who's probably going to be the starter in 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.599 game one. Um, then you have a kind of a 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.480 whole onslaught of rookies behind them that are going to 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.280 be helping out, you know. And you hear McBay talking 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.319 about it's going to be a running back committee. I 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.839 don't see three running backs rotating through a game. You 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:10.800 just not in this league. You don't see it happening. 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.000 So collectively, I think these guys will figure it out, 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.839 as you know, as my guy Heck already alluded to, 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.760 and we'll talk about more of their office line is 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.640 not where they want to be. So the combination of 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.440 their office a line and some new running backs, I'm 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:28.120 not sure if you really replace that. Dueta Gurley, Well, 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.079 you also mentioned the offensive line, and one of the 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:35.600 keys to overcoming a little bit of offensive line deficiency 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.000 rob is to have a receiving running back, somebody who 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.679 can dump the football off to the two guys that 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.480 are backing up, or at least the two guys that 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.320 are up in the top three of the depth chart 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.439 of that running back by committee. Darrell Henderson out of 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.760 Memphis and Malcolm Brown out of Texas. Those two last 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.960 year combined for six receptions in just over fifty yards 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:02.120 all year as receiving threats. What is it like? And 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.080 I know they've got a rookie and Cam Akers out 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.439 of Florida State that's gonna make it impact in the 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.400 receiving game. But is that something that you could potentially 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:15.320 foresee because of the offensive line issues, Rob Yeah, potentially. Um, 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.920 that's interesting. That's a lot different from having Todd Gurley 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.040 on your team who could pretty much pretty much do 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.520 it all right. Um, it's interesting about Henderson skip Pete, 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.079 the Cowboys running backs coach coached him last year and 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.400 actually was familiar with Tony Pollard here in Dallas because 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.920 of the Memphis tape because they were they were teammates 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.199 in college. Um, you guys spoke to the to the 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.560 depth chart and I'm with Isaiah like, I just don't 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.720 I don't see how you have three different backs rotating 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.760 in the game. I think Cam Akers is the third 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:47.000 running back listed on their unofficial depth chart. But you know, 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.920 Sean McVay, Sean McVay came out the other day and said, Hey, 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:51.640 we may come out with all three backs in the 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.120 same formation to start off the game. Y may go 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.800 five wide with nobody nobody back there. So they're trying 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.560 to They're trying to do what the Cowboys are doing 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.360 and keep you It has been a staple of their 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.559 offense to have, you know, have that passing game, have 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.120 that versatility with your running backs. We'll see what they do. 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.480 You know, they're a little different offensively in their passing 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.280 game because they traded Brandon Cooks. So somebody's gonna have 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.280 to help supplement some of that somewhere. Oh, they have 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.640 it too. Yeah, I think they need somebody to supplement that, 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.600 and they've said that they're going to rely on cam 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.440 Akers quite a bit. I mean, this is a second 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.599 round rookie. They didn't have a first round pick, but 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.480 they had two second round picks, and each of them 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.640 are on the offensive side of the football. We'll talk 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.959 about Van Jefferson, the other pick that was in that 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.439 second round, coming up in the second segment. But I 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:42.840 think whenever you look at the identity, and HECKMA mentioned 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:44.640 it a minute ago, and I'll go back to you 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:46.959 here in a second, but they did abandoned the run 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.319 last year and they went to the passing attack, which 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.040 was kind of interesting. I mean, they ended up as 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.559 the fourth best passing attack in all of football, and 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.840 you had Jared Goff who turned around and put up 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.680 some pretty impressive numbers third in the league and passing 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.520 yard behind of course Dak Prescott and Jamis Winston. And 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.880 he was actually second in the league with past completions 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.080 of twenty plus or more yards, so he had those numbers. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.240 They abandoned the passing attack. They went with Sean mcvay's 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:17.240 genius boy genius style of play, like Hackman was mentioning, 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.800 but it was just going away from that identity. Do 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:24.400 you think the passing attack is the new identity though? Heckma, no, 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.520 I really don't. And when I look at the similarities 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.960 between the Rams and the Dallas Cowboys last year, they're 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.520 just a lot of empty calories. And I'm talking empty 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:38.679 calories because of this keto that's killing me. It's just 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.320 one of those things where I feel like a team 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.800 that waits to the second half to become a part 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.760 of what's going on. You see those late late game 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.160 rallies where they try and come back nine and seven, 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.160 and the numbers don't lie. Twenty two touchdowns forty six 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.880 hundred yards from Golf. But when I do a comparison 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.560 between Golf and Dak, I mean I'll take Dak every time. 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.640 That's just me, right, But you know, both of these 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.800 guys coming in at the same time in the league. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:08.640 The passing game looked really good late in the season. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.280 But with the additions of Van Jefferson for Florida, I 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:17.679 think that really man, that the Cooks free agency, I 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.040 mean they kind of nullified it with this guy Jefferson 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.760 because I think he is probably as dynamical receiver as 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.320 we've seen coming to the league. Just really smooth and 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.840 a coaches kid and coaches kids, man, when you turn 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.720 on the tape, they just do consistently the good things 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.520 over and over and over, no wasted motion. The kid 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.400 is just really explosive, smooth route runner. And Isaiah I 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.480 know that's somebody you can look at it and can 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:44.040 appreciate what he's doing from a rookie perspective. Yeah, no, 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.600 I mean these guys are I mean, they're the receiving cores. 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.960 There's no question about whether these guys are gonna be good, right. 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.400 I was surprised to see that they kept four tight ends. 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:55.240 That's very odd, to say the least. But I think 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.320 that's a testament also to their officive line, as we 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.200 talked about yesterday, in terms of being able to help 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:00.760 when you're not when you're at that sure of your 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.280 off your office a line, especially your tackles. But um, 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.760 they're receiving corps solid, man. I mean there's no questions there. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:07.960 We know about Cup, we know about Woods, we you 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.440 know obviously we got we got the Rickie coming in. Um, 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.600 they're solid in that regard. A question is are they 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.720 gonna be able to protect right and I and I 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.080 and I don't really see that happening against our front. Yeah, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:22.480 that's that's the biggest thing. That's absolutely sorry that. Yeah. 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.120 I mean Goff, you know, he put up some numbers, 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.440 like like Kyle said, but I don't think it wasn't 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.600 his best season of his of his young career so far. 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.720 I think he was picked off maybe fifteen sixteen times. 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.280 I think he was sacked like the fewest times in 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.400 the league. But he's a guy that had had to 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.160 get the ball out quickly last year. I just don't 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.480 think they found the rhythm of their offense. And and 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.840 like Heckma said they got behind him games last year 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.240 and had to play had to play catchup. I don't 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:48.880 think that's the new trend. I think they're gonna try 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.080 to be balanced. I think everybody wants to be balanced 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.720 if you can, and they do have the receivers to 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:55.920 do that. And Tyler Higby's an excellent tight end, and 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:57.920 they do try to use both their tight ends. I mean, 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.080 I think Everett is is another guy that they try 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:05.360 to get involved. So their offense is all about versatility, tempo, 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.640 different formations and uh and try to throw you off 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:12.360 that way. I mean, the biggest dynamic and Gerald Everett 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.080 uh as well. We've talked about the NFC East and 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.320 the tight ends that we're going to see in this division. 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.800 We get a good sample size of what we're gonna 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.880 see with Higbye and Everett once you started Sunday. Yeah, yeah, 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:26.720 now that that one two punch is gonna be nice. 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.680 I mean, but to Kyle's point, Uh, these guys, I mean, 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.160 the Rams are based around a run. I mean yeah, 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:33.840 even though they have the ability to throw the thing 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.160 all over the field, they need a solid run game. 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.240 And that's why they had the season they had last 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.720 year because they didn't establish that, and you know, and 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.080 Gurley was heard and they you know, they're bringing guys 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.640 from from home to come play, and you know, and 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:47.840 and all guys other stuff. You know, So they just 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.800 really never got that, never got that established. And I 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.880 think even with amongst their abilities and I mean their 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.400 talents that they have at every other position, if they 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.640 can't tote the rock and then then you know, then 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.800 it becomes one side in as defense, you can stop that. Yeah, 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.040 I didn't even had a problem with that. They haven't 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.160 had a problem with being one sided. And I think 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.560 that's the surprising thing about McVeigh and the scheme that 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.359 he'd used it is that he looked, if all else fails, 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.520 we're just gonna throw that pork all over the field. 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.160 I think that's a fantastic way to put it, because 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.640 even though they were a little bit one dimensional last year, 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.040 they still were the seventh best total offense because one, 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.520 they put up so many good numbers on the passing side, 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.879 even with the turnovers that Rob was mentioning, because I agree, 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:32.520 I don't think it was Jared Goff's past year, but 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:36.040 he just had more passing attempts to accumulate those numbers 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.600 with that's why they ended up with the twenty seventh 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.960 best running game in all of the NFL, so the 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.159 fifth worst running game in the NFL last year. But 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:48.919 I mean, there's plenty to talk to, and we'll talk 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.800 about some of these receivers coming up here in just 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.440 a moment.
