I am spooky season news and notes. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.599 All right, So we're gonna start with the fact that 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:41.440 the cowboy, speaking of spooky season, yeah, Deron Bland it 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:42.679 continues to not practice. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.640 So we're still trapped in that like it was gonna 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:45.960 be something. 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.880 No, no, no, We're still trapped in that nightmare on 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:53.360 Elm Street. Doron Bland has not practiced, nor has Michael 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:58.039 Parsons nightmare on Cowboys Way, Cowboys Way, nor has Michael Parsons. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.440 Both were d m P on Thursday as well. Both 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:05.080 are all pros correct, Both your first team, first team, 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:05.760 not your second team. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.960 Yeah, not Pro Bowlers, all pros opers first team offers. 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.560 Neither is at the moment trending in the direction of playing. 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.719 They remain in game time decision. But again they're not 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.120 trending in the right direction. Let's see what Friday's participation 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:22.920 looks like. Here's the good news though. Eric Kendricks continues 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.800 to trend toward taking the field against the San Francisco 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.360 forty nine ers, and if he can take the field, 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.080 he will be a huge determinant in the outcome of 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:35.440 that game. He was limited yesterday, limited on Wednesday, but 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.840 he's moving well. He looks in good spirits in the 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:42.000 locker room, so fingers crossed that he remains that on 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.680 that arc. John Stevens Junior, we know he did not participate. 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:49.960 He's headed to injury reserve with a retorn ACL. Not 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.520 just to torn ACL, but he retore the one that 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.800 was surgically repaired. So that is two tears for the 0:05:55.839 --> 0:06:02.039 same acl within thirteen fourteen months Spain. So prayis some 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.560 positive energy to that young man because he has another 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.120 long road ahead of him. And as Isaiah and anyone 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.320 who suffered the twenty Aco can tell you, they don't 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.320 get stronger after the tear, and if you tear it 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.160 more than once, he gets that much more arduous to 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:17.640 try to get back to the field. So keep your 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.680 head up, John Stevens, keep pushing and hopefully we'll see 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:20.599 you in twenty twenty five. 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.400 Y'all send him some words of encouragement. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.440 Yeah, I can tell you that is a good dude. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:25.520 Man, he's a good dude. 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.240 And I can tell you, guys, as a young player 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.080 that's trying to get himself into this league and get 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.599 established and to suffer back to back like serious injuries, 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.080 not just regular injury, but there's a devastating, potentially career 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.800 ending injuries and he's trying to go tackle this thing 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:41.640 for a second time in a row. You guys, please 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.600 send him some encouraging words on the same knee. That 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:49.160 is the mental battle that yeah, he's going to be having. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.240 He is such a positive spirit as far as like 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.080 if you've ever had a chance to talk to John Stevens. 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.599 Then you just know he's just a good dude, good spirit, 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.560 good energy, and sometimes bad things do happen to good people, 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.480 and this is one of those situations. So keeping with 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.320 or going back to the linebacker's course, so you could 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.640 be getting Eric Kendricks back. Don't know if you'll have 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.240 Nick Vigil in the field though, because he was downgraded 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.200 to did not participate with a foot injury. So he 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.640 continues to deal with some things that See what else 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.680 we got Kayln Carson full again trending in the right direction, 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.040 See if he gets cleared with his range of motion, 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.920 And most notably out of everyone else that remains is 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.560 Brandon Aubrey continues with his jury duty to try to 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.480 determine if the individual in Trek County Fort Worth is 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.600 guilty of a felony charge or not. But Mike McCarthy 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.760 said on yesterday that the plan is for and the 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:43.880 expectation is that Aubrey will travel with the team and 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.840 take the field against the forty nine ers. He's been 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.600 getting his kicks in here at the facility after court 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.840 session closes each day, so he's still getting his work 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.480 in and then of course the forty nine Ers are 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.280 just as ravaged injury wise as the Cowboys are, so 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.920 two teams that are. I mean it is the battle 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.280 of the mass units on Sunday night. Football is basically 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:03.840 what it's going to be, which means not only do 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.640 you need guys to step up in the absence of stars, 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.120 but the stars that are present need to shine that 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.360 much brighter than they have been shining. Say it again, 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.600 the stars that are present need to shine that much 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:15.640 brighter than they. 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:16.240 Have been shining. 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:18.360 So that's. 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.960 That's will it be? Tell me? Will it tell me? Who? 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.120 Will it be? Too? Firehead? By the way, so even 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.240 though go stars win Fireheads. 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.720 When we're looking at top to bottom the guys that 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.800 you need to win this football game, take it all 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.319 into account, the injuries, the lack of production, the desperation 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.120 on both sides of this thing. 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.920 Who's the number one guy that has to. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.160 Play better than he has been playing so far this year? 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:55.880 The number one guy Guiden? Okay, interesting, why do you 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.280 say Tyler does his offense needs to get going? 0:08:58.440 --> 0:08:58.680 Yeah. 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.480 I think if you're looking at one unit that you 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.840 have some form of confidence in getting going and getting 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.679 back on the rails or getting on the rails to start. 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.320 Just the offense. You look, you have you have hope. 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.080 That the offense can figure this thing out because if 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.520 you've seen what they've done in the past, but it 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:20.760 starts up front, and I think that obviously with him 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.520 being off the field in the last the last game, 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.480 obviously he was dealing with some things, but potentially he 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:26.880 could have win. 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:28.880 I don't know. I don't really know what that situation was. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:33.000 But he doesn't even have an injury designation this week, 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:37.480 right No, he's he's not even the report, So that's 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:38.160 he's ready to go. 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.080 Yeah, yeah, so he's ready to go right now, John Legend. 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.959 Hopefully he's been able to get some good, solid work 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.000 these last few weeks, and I think he's fully capable. 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.400 He just did not have a great He had a 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.560 good start against obviously against the best in the league, 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.760 and then after that, I don't know what happened, But 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.439 hopefully he's been able to right those wrongs. Watch a film, 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.079 get some drills in, get some chemistry, and with Tyler Smith, 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:05.960 so Tyler Smith can do what he does and just 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.160 play left guard instead of having a flip flop back 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.760 and forth. It's not fair to him just because he's capable, 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.160 it doesn't mean that he should. So I'm hoping that 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.680 they can have that chemistry and he can produce better, 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.000 and then collectively that unit can produce better, and then 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.959 you can get this running game going. You can get 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.000 that going, and then you have at least two thirds 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.800 now of your of your system that is working the 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.480 way that you want it to be. Right now, you 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.160 have a third, which is special teams. 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.199 Yeah, I'm going rain Da Code of Prescott. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.160 I'm sorry, y'all can both have that answer? 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.920 Yeah, we'll both No, no, no, you can cook, you can cook. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.480 But let me just say this. I think Dak needs 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.160 to have the game of all games. We've seen how 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.000 he's played in Santa Clara. I think, at least for 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.839 me and for himself too, I mean, he should want 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.760 to go out there and no mistakes, have a freaking 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:59.520 day man, no mistakes, tight window throws, whatever he's got 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.640 to do. If the receivers aren't going to help him, 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.680 he needs to help his receivers and get the ball 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.520 needs to go tight window or not. 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:07.040 At least for me. 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.440 If he succeeds, if he has a monster of a day, 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.960 that this is a w no doubt about it if 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.080 he makes zero mistakes. 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.560 And my answer is also Dak Prescott. Dak has to 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.000 be the one that shine to shine the brightest in 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.000 this game if the Cowboys are going to have the 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.640 best chance of walking away with a fourth road win 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.079 this season, and for several reasons. You asked me a 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.000 couple of days ago, how would I grate Dak's playing 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:32.880 this season? And I said, well, before the Lions, I 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:34.800 would have said it was good, which would have been 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.240 just slightly above average, but based on how poorly he 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.400 played against the Lions, I labeled it as average. 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:40.800 Fast forward to yesterday. 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.760 Dak Prescott, after in the locker room, he was asked 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:44.800 how would he great himself? 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.880 Guess what he said? He said? He said average? Average. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:48.760 He said average. 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.640 So either he listens to talking Cowboys or he's blatantly 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:53.520 honest about himself. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:53.960 And I love it. 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:55.600 So I'm going to go with Dak Prescott here, and 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.839 here's evidence to what I'm saying. This is per next 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.880 insteads So, after leaving the NFL, in both completion percentage 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.280 sixty six percent and completion percentage overexpected which was plus 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.640 nine percent against man coverage in twenty twenty three, Dak 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.920 now ranks twenty fifth in completion percentage. It dropped from 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:17.720 sixty six percent to fifty one percent against man coverage. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:19.559 Okay, has to get better now. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.000 Granted the receivers they got to get better at separating 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.280 and running better routes and things like that. The time 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.559 in between he and ceedee lamb has to improve, and 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:33.000 it has to improve right now, yesterday, the day before, aceptually, immediately, giately. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:33.800 Okay. 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.680 That being said, Dak Prescott also needs to be willing 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:41.280 to do more when the opportunity presents itself. If the 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.520 red sea opens and you see green to take it, 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.600 use your legs, extend plays. That's what rock party does. 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.800 That's what Man Party's going to do against your defense. 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:49.680 So do the same. 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.560 I thought people wanted him to sit in the pocket 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:52.480 ever since he heard his ankle. 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.760 That wasn't me. I don't know who wants that. I 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:56.199 don't know. 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.959 But if you find a receipt of no Sea saying 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.679 that I didn't tell you and give you one hundred grand, 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.600 don't sit in the puck'll start looking. I'm telling you, don't, 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.959 don't sit in the pocket. I've been wanting him. I've 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.120 been calling for I've been calling for Mississippi State Dak 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.240 Prescott for years now. And I get the mentality of 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.800 why he put back on that after the devastating injury, right, 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.160 but in you know, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.920 we're now more and more time removed. If you see 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.160 the opportunity to take off and run, just take off 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.800 and run. So that, especially for an offense that keeps 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.560 getting behind the chains with penalties and whatnot, take yardage. 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:32.760 When you can take yardage and. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.760 Force deep defenders and defensive backs to cover for longer 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.679 periods of time, that will also help the separation if 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.640 they have to account for your quarterback possibly running and 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.000 they'll come off of their coverage. So I'm going to say, 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:46.520 Dak Prescott here, I. 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.600 Just want the line to play better. Yeah, I don't 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.280 blame you, and I won a little bit of everybody. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.520 We're all right, I mean, yeah, yeah, everybody's right. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:58.720 And Jake here's my here's my and Zach here's my 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:04.559 counter to the dak uh Dalvin Cook when yeah, maybe 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.680 this week, never know, he does, never know. That'll be 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.520 my bold prediction. I bet everything are you. I'm hearing things. 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:12.280 We'll talk about it. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:18.319 Okay, nothing happens offensively without the offensive line playing well. 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.360 Thanks, absolutely nothing. Thanks. 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:26.000 Dak can't Dak without the offensive line. The cook can't 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:30.920 cook without the offensive line. So even if Dak has 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.160 had is not on his game. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.080 Which he hasn't been against San Francisco in the past. 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.680 Very he's been terrible against San Francisco in the past. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.320 I've just he's been terrible. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:44.120 You got to hear. I'll give you barley, he's been terrible. 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.480 So his first two games against San Francisco twenty sixteen, 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.000 twenty seventeen, that was a different San Francisco squad that 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:51.760 was not Kyle Shanahan quite yet. 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:52.520 Uh. 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.160 He completed sixty six percent of his passes on average 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:57.720 about two hundred and forty yards. 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:03.120 He had five touchdowns combined with zero interceptions. Since then, since. 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.560 Then against San Francisco, and this includes the playoff game, 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.520 let's do fifty three percent passing two hundred and fifty 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.320 four yards, a touchdown and an interception, twenty three of 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.320 thirty seven passing sixty two percent completion two hundred and 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.600 six yards, one touchdown, two interceptions. And then last year 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.600 was when it really kind of came to a sad 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:24.400 head for Dak Prescott. Fourteen of twenty four, that's fifty 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.640 eight percent of his passes, one hundred and fifty three 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.600 yards through the air, one touchdown. 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:32.000 And three interceptions. He can't have that side type of game. 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:37.040 Three touchdowns, three touchdowns, six interceptions since twenty one against 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.800 San Francisco San Francius including the two playoff games. In 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.160 the regular season game fifty seven percentation rate, thirteen points 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.160 per game, sixty percent, sixty on that passer rating. 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.000 You know this this a lot of it also goes 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.520 back to what's happening in the rid zone or what's 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.000 not happening in the rid zone. 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:53.480 Turnovers. 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.160 Turnovers are happening in the rid zone. Touchdowns are not 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.440 happening in the rid zone. And it'd be a different 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:03.440 story if if some of those accountabilities for red zone 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.720 failings did not fall on Dak Prescott. But you know, 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.160 rather it be a miscommunication with Ceedee Lamb. That's a 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.200 dual accountability, right. It didn't work out, So that was 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.440 an interception, So that's on him and it's on you. 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.120 But when you also look at things like what's in 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.280 front of me, He's completed less than forty percent of 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.560 his past attempts in the red zone this season. That's 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:26.000 the fourth lowest in the NFL. Okay, several things attribute 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.000 to that blocking up front, which then leads to lack 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.560 of a run game, which then leads to opposing defenses 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.000 aren't afraid of your run game, so they keep more 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.000 men in coverage and it makes it more difficult. That 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.280 being said, he's played at an elite level. He is 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.520 an All Pro quarterback. He was runner up for MVP 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:46.600 last season. Some of the throws that he's making, they 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:50.480 can't happen, right, So there are throws that he wants back. 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:54.040 And in this type of game, against this type of opponent, 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.600 in this type of head coach who more or less 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.200 owns this team to this point over the past three games, 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.920 you just make those mistakes, is what we're saying. 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:08.240 Offensive line notwithstanding, I think even you're going up against 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.000 the forty nine ers defensive line, which is actually really good. 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.359 We've addressed this, we talked about it last week or 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.520 earlier this week. To me, even with the offensive line 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.879 playing well, when they are not playing well, a snap 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.320 that they lose, he's got to be able to make 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.159 the right raid and get the ball out quickly. He 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.920 cannot take those sacks that he's been taking all year. 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.000 And the press team is very well because they we 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.800 said they do well at pressuring without blitzing. They pressure 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.720 well with front four. Okay, and your blocking has been 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.000 up and down this season, and against the Lions it 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.680 was down there. So if you have a down game 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.520 against the San Francisco forty nine Ers, then guess who 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.000 puts the onus on to shine that much brighter? 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:53.080 The quarterback? Yeah, some of this, So all this is correct. 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:54.240 Some of this again. 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.160 I'm gonna keep going back to coach McCarthy, not only 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.480 because I like him, but I think that he's capable. 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.680 But I wanted him to get in his bag once 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:05.359 again because if you look at what Shanahan does for 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.640 the forty nine ers, brock Party always has multiple options 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.840 at the first and second level. Yeah, multiple, not just 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.240 one guy right, not just one guy at level one, 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.040 one guy level two, one guy level three right, the 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:21.200 little tiered system. He usually has one guy of one, 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.120 two guys at two right, or two guys at one, 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.600 one guy at two and another guy on a deep 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.480 portion of the field. Right now, Obviously, these guys might 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.200 be adjacent from each other depending on what side to 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.800 feel they're on, but usually to the primary play side. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.960 If you guys go back and watch film, there's multiple 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.560 options that multiple guys work in the same zone. 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.159 Working the same area, right, the same windows. 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.080 So if I if you're a defender, right, and then 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.000 you're responsible for this, for this flat you're outside linebacker, 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.520 I'm running a guy right in front of your face, right, 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.159 and then I'm gonna run a guy right behind you. 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.080
