Speaker 1: As we preview today the.

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 5: Cowboys offense versus the Pittsburgh defense, and right off the

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 5: top of the show, defense, well they do and do

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 5: we have offense because.

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: We've joked about it time and time and time and

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: time and time a game.

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 5: But within twenty minutes, maybe even less than that, maybe

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 5: like ten ten minutes after the show was finished yesterday.

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Breaking news, how it goes, always happens like that always happen.

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: We know this is part of it.

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 5: But breaking news, Brandon Cooks is out going into Pittsburgh

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 5: and it's really an unfortunate situation and I wish the

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 5: best for Brandon Cooks because it's not your normal football injury.

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 5: It was a basically, after the Thursday night football game

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 5: against the Giants, they go into to perform a procedure

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 5: on a knee that had been bothering him since training camp.

33
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 5: Decided that the mini buy was the best time to

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 5: try and do this and get him back in the fold.

35
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 5: And then whenever they did so, apparently an infection infection

36
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 5: broke out into the knee. So, uh, not a fun

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 5: situation for anyone involved football or non football, because Brandon Cooks,

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 5: that's that's not nothing to mess around with, and I hate.

39
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: That for him.

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, and to be more specific, he got an injection.

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 6: He was trying to avoid getting the knee scoped was

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 6: bothering him after the Giants game. And like you said, Kyle,

43
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 6: it was a mini buys, you know, a couple of

44
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 6: extra calendar days. Cowboys figured over Brandon Cooks figured that

45
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 6: he can, you know, get the injection, he'd be better

46
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 6: for the Steelers game and the kind of move forward

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 6: from there, and infection developed and unfortunately for him, the

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 6: Arthur scopic surgery he was trying to avoid ended up

49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 6: needing to happen anyway because the Cowboys medical staff needed

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 6: to go in and do that to clean up the infection.

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 6: So word has it that he's well, he's definitely down

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 6: against the Steelers, and it's a one to three week situation.

53
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 6: Bye week is after the Lions, So number one, we'll

54
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 6: see how he feels. I'll put him, I'll label him

55
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 6: his week to week. Let's see how he feels next

56
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 6: week going into the Lions game. I wouldn't necessarily pencil

57
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 6: him in for the Lions game right now, but I

58
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 6: think he should Knocklewood. He should be okay for the

59
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 6: forty nine ers. But we'll see about that. But like

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 6: you said, we talked about it yesterday. We joked about

61
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 6: it a couple of days ago. The news some news

62
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 6: always happens after we leave. But yesterday specifically, what were

63
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 6: you talking about? Positions of need? So we were talking

64
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 6: about positions of need and wide receiver right there, So

65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 6: who do you turn to. You're going to turn to

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 6: Jailen Tobert, You're gonna turn to Jalen Brooks, and you're

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 6: likely going to finally activate Ryan Flanoy Illinois. So flow

68
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 6: time is go time on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

69
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 6: And I don't know about you two, but I've been

70
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 6: waiting to see this young man on the field this season.

71
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 6: He had He struggled in the first preseason game, but

72
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 6: showed some mental fortitude and how he bounced back in

73
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 6: the second and the third game. He had two touchdowns

74
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 6: in those final two preseason games. He caught everything that

75
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 6: was thrown to him in those final two preseason games,

76
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 6: and then he was inactive for four games. So talking

77
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 6: with Flinoy in the locker room yesterday, he was ear

78
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 6: to ear with the grin as far as the opportunity

79
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 6: being able to take advantage of it. And when asked

80
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 6: how is it going to go for him? Is he

81
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 6: physically ready to go? And he said he tapped his herd.

82
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 6: He was like, it's all in here, and I'll show

83
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 6: y'all it's all in here. This is the same guy

84
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 6: who told me about a month ago that quote unquote,

85
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 6: passion is my superpower. So ready to see Flinoy get

86
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 6: unleashed and likely that's going to happen on Sunday.

87
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Brandy Cooks sucks yeah, sucks. Things happened,

88
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: nothing that he could have controlled.

89
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: He was doing everything he could to prevent getting a scope,

90
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: and then because of the the.

91
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: Infection, he had to get a scope.

92
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: So he tried to dip, dive, dodge, and duck and

93
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: he got got by the last wrench and now all

94
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: of a sudden, he'll be fine. Just so everybody out

95
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 3: there and understands that the infection got cleaned out. You know,

96
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: doctor Cooper is one of the best in the industry,

97
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: so they went out there scraped that thing out. Now

98
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: you just have to get the swelling out, get back

99
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: to rowing. There's nothing that's going to impede his ability

100
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: to be productive. It's just now just swelling management, which

101
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: is going to take probably a couple of weeks month.

102
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 6: Well, if anything, I think it answers our question as

103
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 6: far as his struggles with separating this season because he

104
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 6: had the knees soreness in training camp. Late in training camp,

105
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 6: they gave him some rest there and you know, at

106
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 6: the time, going into the first week, we thought he

107
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 6: was good to go. Well, maybe, as it turns out,

108
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 6: this was something that was nagging him. So the silver

109
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 6: lining to this is if in fact, this is the

110
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 6: thing that was hampering him physically. Then now that it's

111
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 6: being taken care of, maybe we get peak Brandon Cooks.

112
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Coming on out on the other side of this. That's

113
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: a hope.

114
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: That's a hope because it doesn't Nobody really knows how

115
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: much of it us bothering him other than branding exactly.

116
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 5: Nobody knows how much that's that knee horness did play

117
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 5: a factor, if it did indeed play a factor, And

118
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 5: the fact that he's got it cleaned up early in

119
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 5: the season. I know it's a tough stretch coming up

120
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 5: for the Cowboys, but getting it taken care of its

121
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 5: feu putting it lightly, I am, But the the fact

122
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 5: that he's getting it out of the way is a

123
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 5: good thing and so hopefully when he's able to return,

124
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 5: And that's encouraging from Isaiah's standpoint, just from being around

125
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 5: injuries like that before.

126
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've.

127
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 5: Seen it once or twice. You've had it specifically, So

128
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 5: it's turn time. It's it's a couple of swelling swelling down.

129
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: You can you can put whatever time you want on it,

130
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 3: and it's all about how his body absorbs those fluids.

131
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: And you know what they can do to get those

132
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: fluids out. You want your body to naturally absorb absorb

133
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: that stuff. So a lot of water, a lot of compression,

134
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: a lot of stem just trying to stimulate keep those

135
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: muscles working. So it's again, it's nothing that's people think that,

136
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: you know, you hear surgers like, oh no, it's it's

137
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: a scope.

138
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: They put a little they cut a hole, they put

139
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: a little.

140
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: Thing in there, they scrape it out, and then they

141
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: saw them back up and now, hey, there's been trauma

142
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: to the body.

143
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: So my mic just went off. You're good.

144
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: There's trauma to the body, right, So now out your

145
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: body obviously sends blood there to try to heal it.

146
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 3: So that's swelling, right, So your body's trying to heal that,

147
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 3: repair that, and he's fine. So it's just gonna be

148
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: uh swelling management. He'll be back sooner, sooner than you think.

149
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: But he's gonna be dearly missed for sure while he

150
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: has gone.

151
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 5: Let's talk about the fallout, and you mentioned Ryan Flinoy.

152
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 5: You put up a great article on Dallas cowboys dot

153
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 5: Com talking about how and I like the word you used,

154
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 5: how he's amped amped for this debut I'm excited to

155
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 5: see him because it's kind of been a rite of

156
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: passage from wide receivers that have been drafted late.

157
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: For the Cowboys, at least as of late. You have

158
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: about a it's almost like a red shirt year.

159
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 5: Jalen Brooks had one. Jalen Tolbert, he was a third

160
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 5: round prick pick. Shouldn't have probably had one, but he did.

161
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: Uh And Hunter Lipke had kind of a.

162
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 3: Ramp up year from a full back standpoint, not that

163
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: he's a wide receiver, but same kind of thing.

164
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Ryan Flinoy has started his.

165
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 5: Red shirt year where he's got the four games he's inactive.

166
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 5: He's been playing and practicing on the field here at

167
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 5: the store are but not so much in games.

168
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: How much of an impact can you expect out of

169
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: a guy like that who.

170
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 5: Hasn't seen game action yet but is going to take

171
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 5: a step forward and make his debut on Sunday.

172
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 6: As much as I would love for them to quote

173
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 6: unquote unleash Flinoy, I don't think that it's going to

174
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 6: happen in the capacity of that he's not going to

175
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 6: get ten targets. I don't believe, because you know that

176
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 6: would be a lot that would be a lot, but

177
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 6: you're also shocked if he gets five. That's fair to

178
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 6: this point that I'm about to make, the Cowboys are

179
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 6: initially going to lean heavily on Jalen Tobart, right. They're

180
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 6: going to say, hey, you're the former third round pick

181
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 6: in the post Michael Gallup era, it should be you.

182
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 6: And now with Brandon Cooks down for a couple of weeks,

183
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 6: it needs to be you. And then they're going to

184
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 6: filter down to like Jalen Brooks. My question is how

185
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 6: do they want to operate the splits between like a

186
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 6: guy like Jalen Brooks and Flinoy. I could see that

187
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 6: being the head to head challenge for reps. I don't

188
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 6: necessarily see Flinoy going head to head with Jalen Tobert

189
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 6: for those reps. So I'd say, as as excited as

190
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 6: we are to see what he can do, he'd being

191
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 6: Ryan Flinoy kind of temper those expectations, at least against

192
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 6: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, if he takes his you know,

193
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 6: let's presumably if it's three targets. Sure, if it's three

194
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 6: targets and he produces on those three targets, maybe a

195
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 6: touchdown maybe one of those is a chunk play, then

196
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 6: maybe he can ramp up to more, maybe than it's

197
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 6: six targets against the Detroit Lions. But for his NFL debut,

198
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 6: presumably this weekend, let's kind of temper the expectations and

199
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 6: hopefully they give him they put him in the right

200
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 6: spots where he can maybe make at least one chunk

201
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 6: play to show what he can do.

202
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't like to think that's the case. Wanting to believe.

203
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean, the reality is we've only

204
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: seen his body of work versus people in preseason.

205
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: That is true.

206
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: So you know, you're about to be going against a

207
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: pretty good secondary in Pittsburgh and they do defense out there,

208
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: and that's something that they do. I don't know if

209
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: fans out there have watched tape, but they play defense.

210
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: They play a soft shell. We'll get into that later,

211
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: but so there, if he does get in the game,

212
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: he will have opportunities to get open, but he's have

213
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: to do it against some relatively respectable DBS.

214
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 5: Red zone worked, I mean, that was one of the

215
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,479
Speaker 5: things that stuck out for me in the preseason.

216
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: Can you utilize him in the red zone?

217
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: I feel better about this unit in space, so I'd

218
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 3: rather see him in the field, and they kind of

219
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: buckle down when you get to the red zone, so

220
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: they're they're a lot softer in the field and red

221
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: zone there don't give you.

222
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: That much space.

223
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 6: And I love his his shiftiness once he catches the

224
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 6: ball in space and physical his physicality is there as well. Yeah,

225
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 6: so yeah, I could absolutely see that being a thing.

226
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: It could be fun to utilize him where you can.

227
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 5: If they buckle down in the red zone, and like

228
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 5: we said, QB visions coming up next, But if they

229
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 5: buckle down in the red zone like that, do you

230
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 5: anticipate Is that a heavy dose of tight ends? Is

231
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 5: that a heavy dose of hunter lipkey? What are you

232
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 5: kind of looking forward to try and combat that?

233
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what they're with, doubt, I'm just being honest.

234
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what dallas is approaches to that. I'm

235
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: not sure what angle they're going to try to take,

236
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 3: because you would like to just say, well, let's just

237
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: run the ball approaching I don't think they do either,

238
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, It's gonna be very easy,

239
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: and I'm not I'm just being real. I'm doubling CD

240
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 3: like pressing somebody and then I'm sitting in safety so

241
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: that he can't get over the top.

242
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I'm gonna do the Phil Jackson. I'm yeah,

243
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: if you do that, and I'm I'm like, hi, Jake. Yeah.

244
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: But then but then you can just go out there

245
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: and impress Jake too. So I mean, you really could

246
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 3: double CD and double Jake and then you're making the

247
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 3: third guy. Okay, show me what you got tober, Show

248
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: me what you got Turp, show me what you got like.

249
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: Show me you're not You're not gonna run the ball.

250
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: We know that, right, You've shown that you that you're

251
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: not willing to run the ball or can be effective

252
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: running the ball. Oh and by the way, we got

253
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: some dogs in here if you do want to run

254
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: the ball. So what we're gonna talk about? So, I mean,

255
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what Dallas is angler I really don't.

256
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see it. But there's gonna have to

257
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: be some guys that step up. There's gonna be guys

258
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: that have not contributed on this team in a major

259
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: way that are going.

260
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: To have to step up in this game. If this

261
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: game is going to be competitive, let's talk about it.

262
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 5: Let's go into QB vision, take our first break, give

263
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 5: us a little extra time to talk through it.

264
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: I want to hear about the impacked up front from the.

265
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 5: Steelers, how the heck we're going to score on this secondary,

266
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 5: and how how we're going to kind of talk through

267
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 5: the lack of weapons on offense and some of the

268
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 5: struggles that the Cowboys have had on that side of

269
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 5: the ball.

270
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: It's our offensive preview versus the Steelers. Qbvision comes up

271
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,120

331
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: bottom of the league and rushing offense. Offensively, Dallas is

332
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: not at the top of the league in passing like

333
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: we have been in recent years.

334
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: No, you are missing Brandon Cooks offensively.

335
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: Jake Ferguson just got back and trying to get back

336
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,440

00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: offense right now.

338
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: Have I summed up? Yeah? Pretty good?

339
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: Okay, good, just just being real. That's just a cliff notes, Okay, Bill,

Speaker 3: doesn't have time to read through stuff.

342
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: So that's that.

343
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: Defensively for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one thing that you know

344
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: about Pittsburgh, it doesn't matter what year over the last

345
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: seventeen years, to take it back to in the history

346
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: of everham for the Pittsburgh Steelers, what's one thing that

347
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: you know that you're gonna get when you play against

348
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh defense, solid defense, physical, physical, rough, blue solid blue

349
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: collar just and especially when you're in Pittsburgh and they

350
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: got them towels running.

351
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so they're terrible.

00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:39,840

Speaker 1: Kyle, what's that? Well, we're not here to fulfeel goods. Okay.

355
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 3: We would love to gas up the Cowboys because this

356
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: is our platform. Butt's We got to keep it real

357
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: with the people.

358
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: We always this why the people come to this show.

359
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: They want. We want, we get facts. We talk. That's right.

360
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: We don't hang with them. We exactly we talk. We

361
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: we don't taste a break. The reality is it doesn't

362
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: look great. It doesn't look great. Now the game has

363
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 3: to be played.

364
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: I'm telling the true it doesn't look great.

365
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: The reason why it doesn't look great is because does

366
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: anybody feel good about your running game right now? Okay, Well,

367
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 3: they're the number two rush defense in the league.

368
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: That ain't going anywhere. Nope.

369
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 3: So you're struggling to run against whoever else you played,

370
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 3: and now you're playing against the second best you know

371
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 3: who the best rush defense is in the league. Baltimore

372
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: Ravens played against them that didn't go well, didn't go well.

373
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: You know who else is in that is in that

374
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: top top seven to them? New Orleans Saints.

375
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: Didn't go well.

376
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: You know who else in that top seven that you

377
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 3: haven't played yet, Detroit, Detroit and San Francisco.

378
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes. But right now you know that.

379
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 3: Teams that have similar stat lines in terms of rush defense,

380
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 3: you did not do well. Okay, that in Baltimore and

381
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 3: the New Orleans Saints. So now you're gonna play the

382
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: number two. You just played Baltimore. Now you're a couple

383
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 3: of weeks ago. Now you're about to play the second best

384
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: in league in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has some dudes upfront that

385
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 3: contribute to that. One guy that you guys might have

386
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 3: heard of, names Cameron Hayward. Been around for a while

387
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: a little bit, number ninety seven. He's a big fellow

388
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 3: kind he contributes to that. Okay, there's another big guy

389
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: on the inside named Keanu Benton, number ninety five.

390
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: Okay, he can get moved. He plays a little high

391
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: at times.

392
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 5: He was a draft show pet cat for a long

393
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 5: time out of Wisconsin. When they drafted him two years ago, okay,

394
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 5: I mean, like from one of the early shows. We

395
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 5: started talking about it and he was one of the

396
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 5: targets that we wanted Dallas to consider, and sure enough

397
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh ends up with him and he's a perfect fit there.

398
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: He is six six three or oh nine, that's what

399
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: he's listed as. I think he's a little bigger. But

400
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 3: he does get moved at times, okay, because he plays

401
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: a little high. Cameron Hayward does not get moved. Just

402
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: keeping it real, So Cooper BB, Tyler Smith, Okay, Zach Martin,

403
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 3: all those guys are gonna be testing on the interior

404
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: with those guys. And there's a guy that also plays

405
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: lights out that everybody knows.

406
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: Okay, he's in the Watt family.

407
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 3: Know we're not talking about Wwe Okay, I'm talking about TJ.

408
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: Watt on the defensive end.

409
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 3: Not only is he an amazing pass rusher, this dude

410
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 3: is relentless in the run game. And for those of

411
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: you that are concerned about the contributions that he makes,

412
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 3: it's like, okay, well, Tyler Guidens, you know, did good

413
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 3: against Miles Garrett. Well, the good news is Tyler Guiden

414
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 3: doesn't have to worry about TJ.

415
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: Watt. The bad news is TJ.

416
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: Watt lines up over Terrence Steel yep, every play, And

417
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: for those who have watched the film, t Steely is

418
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: not having his best year. No, he's not just calling

419
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 3: the spade a spade would tell him that to his face.

420
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 3: It's not your best year so far.

421
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: Player. Hopefully you get back into saddle. But right now we.

422
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 3: Got to lock it down because TJ. Watt is coming

423
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 3: and he's going to hit you in the mouth. Okay,

424
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 3: and he's relentless. He is literally I don't know what

425
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 3: kind of motor he has, but it doesn't stop. That's

426
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: twelve cylinders right there. It's twelve strong, twelve twelve. So

427
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: they're at the top of the league in turn terms

428
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: of rush defense. Okay, in terms of past defense, these

429
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 3: guys are also up there as well. Okay, they're not

430
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 3: as high, but they're they're at the top of the league.

431
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: And the reason why is because they have those guys

432
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 3: on the outside name I'm sorry in his safety Fitzpatrick. Yeah,

433
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: he's kind of a dude. And then outside they picked

434
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 3: up some rooky his dad used to play there.

435
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: Joey Porter Jr. Yeah, that guy second year guy. But yes, okay,

436
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, but he's a dude. He's a

437
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: draft pick. He was a draft pick. Did he come here?

438
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: He did? Yeah, he was a thirty visit. He was

439
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: a thirty visit.

440
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, they got him and he could play, and

441
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: he's competitive and he's physical.

442
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: Uh the other way, from day one, he could play

443
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: from day one.

444
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 5: That he slipped to the second round in the draft,

445
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 5: and the only reason he did so was because he

446
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 5: had injury concerns going into it, and his tape was

447
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 5: top fifteen tape.

448
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: In the league.

449
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 5: And I mean, that was what we were all talking

450
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 5: about until he got to the combine, came out at

451
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 5: the combine. Then he had some lingering medical problems, medical issues,

452
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 5: and they said, you know what, we'll take a flyer

453
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 5: on you in the second round, early second round. They

454
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 5: traded up to go get him, and then Pittsburgh takes

455
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 5: him and now again in perfect fit. The same thing

456
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 5: with Peyton Wilson at the linebacker spot who starts for

457
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 5: them and flies around as well. Now he's a rookie

458
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 5: out of NC State, same kind of deal. Where it

459
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 5: was injuries, it was things. Now he had jumble digit surgery.

460
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was gonna say his injury list is more significant,

461
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 6: significant significant.

462
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: But he's flying around, he's.

463
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: Playing good and Patrick Queen he's somebody might you might

464
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: want to know the final Raven former Raven.

465
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so they got a couple former Ravens.

466
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 3: They also have Dante Jackson out there on the outside

467
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 3: from Carolina. They actually traded for him. He runs a

468
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 3: four to three for five ten eighty pounds. He's fast,

469
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: he can get beating coverage. But they don't ask him

470
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: to play a lot of coverage. They don't ask him

471
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 3: to play a lot of man These guys are not

472
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: a man defense.

473
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: These guys are his zone. They are his own defense.

474
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: And the reason why they're his own defense is because

475
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 3: you can play it safe on the back end and

476
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: keep everything in front of you when you have a

477
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 3: front seven that gets after the quarterback.

478
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 5: Does that play well to Dak Prescott the Cowboys, though,

479
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 5: if they're gonna play zone, they're gonna play off and

480
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 5: keep everything in front of them.

481
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 6: And once QB vision raps with all of this greatness,

482
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 6: I'm going to give you a counterpoint.

483
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So to answer your question.

484
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 3: To answer your question is yes, it does play to

485
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: Cowboys advantage if you can block it up the teams.

486
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 3: When you go to the game last week and again

487
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: one game that Pittsburgh has lost this year against Indianapolis

488
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: coach which nobody would have guessed it was because they

489
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 3: got the ball out their hands quickly, super quick.

490
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: Right, So black quick, Joe flacko quick. Okay.

491
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: So they show zone defense. Okay, these guys are showing

492
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 3: cover three, all right. So they'll sit outside, cornerbacks are

493
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: looking inside. Okay, about five or six yards off, and

494
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: they'll stay off. But sometimes they'll play three. Sometimes they'll

495
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: play an invert two something that Dak's gonna have to do.

496
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: Be very aware of where these corners become the safeties,

497
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: or one of the corners becomes the safeties, one of

498
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 3: the corners comes down to the flat defender safety comes down.

499
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 3: It's it's a mess. It looks it looks kind of crazy.

500
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: What did Barry call that? We talked about that on

501
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 3: Hit Stakes last year.

502
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: What is that? I'm blanking on the name. There's another

503
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: name for it other than inverted.

504
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 3: Got you, I'll figure it out. So, yeah, they do

505
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 3: some They do a little bit of funky stuff on

506
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: the back end.

507
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: But it's not.

508
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: It's not it's not particularly impressive. What is impressive is

509
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: these guys have capable corners. They have very capable safeties

510
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 3: that can go out there and make it make If

511
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: you decide to have an inaccurate throw, they will make

512
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: you pay for it. If you decide to hang your

513
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: receiver out, your receiver will pay for it. I foresee

514
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 3: them double team and CD lamb. I foresee them pressing

515
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 3: up with with Joey Porter Jr. Or taking Dante Jackson

516
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: whatever side he goes to. You're not gonna run past

517
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 3: Dante Jackson.

518
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: He's four. He runs a four to three, okay.

519
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 3: And I see them deciding to play physical and then

520
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 3: playing Mika Fitzpatrick over the top in saying CD, sorry sorry.

521
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 3: And if you want to decide to run across the field,

522
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: we have another safety back there that will cut you.

523
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 3: And when I say cut, that means that he literally

524
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: beat you to the point across the field.

525
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: Right.

526
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 3: So Dax's gonna have to be aware whether safeties are

527
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: at These guys are athletic, These corners can run the

528
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 3: front seven. In order to stop these guys, you're gonna

529
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: have to use your running backs. You gonna have to

530
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: use your running backs because being honest, again, I've never

531
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: wanted to tell a man what he can or can't do.

532
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 3: But I don't feel good about the matchup of TJ.

533
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 3: Watt and one on one versus Terry Steel. I'm not

534
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: confident in that without help. And if you're providing help,

535
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 3: then you're not allowing Jake Ferguson to get out in

536
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 3: a game where Brandon Cooks is not able to contribute

537
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 3: at the receiver position. So you need Jake Ferguson out,

538
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 3: but you also need support to help with TJ.

539
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: Watt and CD.

540
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 3: Is most likely gonna be taken out of the game

541
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 3: as much as they possibly can. So the scenario is

542
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 3: not good. It's not a great outlook. They don't do

543
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: a lot. They don't blitz. They blitzed top three or

544
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 3: bottom three in the league. They're twenty percent on blitz.

545
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 3: They don't they don't blitz, they don't feel like they

546
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 3: have to. But they're at the top of the league

547
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: in terms of QB pressure yea. So the bottom of

548
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 3: the league and blitzing top three in QB pressure, well,

549
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 3: a lot of that is the interior pressure, the way

550
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: that Cam and Hayward has played the way that Keano

551
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 3: Bitton has played.

552
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 5: And then you've got TJ watches this absolute monster at match.

553
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: Let it ride.

554
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 5: And they don't have to blitz like you said, they

555
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 5: don't feel like they have to do so, and it

556
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 5: leaves things open.

557
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: Now they're not unbeatable. And here we go.

558
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, especially last week, I thought, like you said, you

559
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 5: brought up a great point with Indianapolis, Anthony Richardson gets hurt.

560
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 5: The Colts simplify their playbook, but they also have a

561
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 5: veteran who knows how to read a defense and Joe

562
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 5: Flacco and he just starts pinpointing.

563
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: Boo boo, boo boo. Boot wasn't anything crazy.

564
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 5: It was just ten fifteen yards downfield or within that

565
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 5: and picking apart the defense subtly as they go along. Now,

566
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 5: they did have play action that they could kind of

567
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 5: fall back on, which Dallas does not at this point

568
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 5: in time.

569
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: So well, before you go to my last little point here,

570
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: this is a Jake Ferguson game. If we can get

571
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: him this on a clean twelve personnel, a definitely twelve

572
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 3: personnel game, run a lot of two, definitely twelve, but

573
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: bring Brevence spam Ford in there and let him.

574
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: Assist Terrence Steele with TJ. Watt.

575
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, man Ford is six seven two sixty five to

576
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: sixty whatever he is, He's a big human.

577
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: Let him go out there and help with T.

578
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 3: Steel and still allow to release and allow free release

579
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: for Jake because Jake Ferguson could eat Joe Flacco missed

580
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 3: some touchdowns to tight ends last week. If you have

581
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 3: the time to allow your tight ends to get past

582
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: the second level linebacker defenders. If he can get past

583
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: those guys in a two second mark, right, you're asking

584
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: Jake person to get his fingers off the ground, get

585
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 3: a free release, and get past the seven or eight

586
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 3: yard mark within two seconds, because anything past that, TJ.

587
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: Watt's going to be in your lap.

588
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, I like the twelve personnel. I will see your

589
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 6: Breven span Ford and I will raise you. John Stevens Junior,

590
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 6: Nick Johnston's time. I think it's time because he put

591
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 6: on the added muscle mass this off seas dude, so

592
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 6: that he could be better in blocking. We saw his

593
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 6: blocking improved in his second training camp over his first

594
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 6: training camp. Okay, we've seen some brevn span Ford. You

595
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 6: kind of know what you got there. But when you

596
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 6: got John Stevens Junior, you know for a fact that

597
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 6: while he also has improved his blocking, what can he

598
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 6: provide you a receiving threat. Okay, So that creates a

599
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 6: bit of misdirection because now when John Stevens is in

600
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 6: twelve personnel with Jake fergusoning, you can't just look at

601
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 6: John Stevens Junior and say, oh, well, he's only in

602
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 6: for blocking. He might block Chip and release right into

603
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 6: the scene or into the flat and now that's another

604
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 6: option for Dak Prescott to get that ball out quickly.

605
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 6: So I agree, but I'll see your brevn span Ford.

606
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 6: I'll raise you John Stevens Junior. Now, bat matchup, like

607
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 6: Isaiah said, so eloquently, bad matchup for your rushing Attech

608
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 6: versus their run defense.

609
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 5: Quick question before you move on. Everybody in my head

610
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 5: is still saying, what about Luke Schoolmaker?

611
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: Can you use him in that regard?

612
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 5: I know there's a little bit of trust issue I

613
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 5: think whenever it comes to Luke and getting the job

614
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 5: done specifically.

615
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 6: But he was brought in to be a blocker. I

616
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 6: want to say yes, based on what I saw in

617
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 6: the game.

618
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: That Jake was out. You saw that number one.

619
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 6: We already know Schoolmaker brought in to be a blocker,

620
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 6: but we saw that he can receive. He can be

621
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 6: a receiver as well, especially when you talk about the

622
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 6: one handed catch that was helping your quarterback out there.

623
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: So that's positive. That shows me something there.

624
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 6: But if you put his receiving ability up against John

625
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 6: Stevens receiving ability for me, it's John Stevens Junior. I agree, right,

626
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 6: So for more of a dual threat blocker and possible

627
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 6: receiver for me, it's John Stevens. Now bad matchup. You're

628
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 6: rushing a tech versus their run defense. Like Isaiah said,

629
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 6: they're number tween the lead. They don't they don't play that, homie.

630
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 6: Don't play that, homie, don't play that. But I tell

631
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 6: you where you can get funky with him. They have

632
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 6: not a funky he said funky, So we're gonna stay

633
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 6: with fun This is where you can get funky with him, right,

634
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 6: funky cold Medina if you will. What you can do is,

635
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 6: while they have some of the best personnel in their secondary,

636
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 6: makea Fitzpatrick and Joey Porter Jr. The way they scheme

637
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 6: that defense allows for spacing in the middle of the

638
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 6: fear right. They also don't play a lot of split safety.

639
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 6: They play a lot of single high and a lot

640
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 6: of it is disguised, so some of it is right.

641
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 6: But this is a game where you would god, you

642
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 6: would love to have Brandon Cooks there because this is

643
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 6: a game you can really take advantage of the way

644
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 6: they play and scheme their defense.

645
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: But you don't. But so if someone steps up, be

646
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: it flannoying.

647
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 6: Tobert Brooks, then that creates a situation where they're stressed.

648
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: Here's my point.

649
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 6: Numerically, while they're number two in the league and run defense,

650
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 6: they're fourteenth in the league and passing touchdowns allowed with four.

651
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 6: Guess who they're tied within that category the Dallas Cowboys.

652
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 6: So if you think and if you think this, then

653
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 6: you're right. If you think the Cowboys are struggling on

654
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 6: defense as far as stopping the pass, you're right. But

655
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 6: then that means that the Steelers are as well in

656
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 6: that capacity. As far as touchdowns allowed, they're also eighth

657
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 6: worst in the league in passing yards allowed per reception

658
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 6: at eleven point four. You know who's their next door

659
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 6: neighbor in that cat the Dallas Cowboys with eleven point

660
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 6: five yards allowed per reception. So you can get chunk

661
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 6: plays because they play off correct. So now it becomes

662
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 6: once you get those chunk plays, because they're going to

663
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 6: be there for you. Can your playmakers make plays in space?

664
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 6: Can they get yack? Can they cause guys to miss tackles?

665
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 6: If they can, there's your touchdown, there's your big third

666
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 6: down conversion. That's how you extend plays, and that's possibly

667
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 6: how you can move the ball down the field. So

668
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 6: for all of the rightful talk, and I stress rightful

669
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 6: because they do not play around when it comes to

670
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 6: that run defense, for all of the rightful talk of that,

671
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 6: they can be had between the twenties in that passing defense.

672
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 6: So you just have to make sure that Jake Ferguson,

673
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 6: Ceedee Lamb, whoever else is going to step up once

674
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 6: you catch that ball, because you can catch the ball

675
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 6: ten eleven yards down field, make a guy miss, make

676
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 6: that next guy miss, and if it happens to be

677
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 6: a play where they're only running a true single high

678
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 6: without a disguise, if that's the guy you make miss,

679
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 6: that's a touchdown. So this is it's a bad matchup

680
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 6: run offense versus rushing d Yes, but it's not. It's

681
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 6: a pretty good matchup if your offense, if you're passing

682
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 6: attack finally can get going this week. But it's challenged

683
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 6: without Brandon Cook. Somebody else has to step up. There's

684
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 6: there's spacing their zone defense. You talk about the single high.

685
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 6: If you can catch them in a single high, they

686
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 6: won't have a reason to be in siego high. That's

687
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 6: just me being honest. If you usually go single high

688
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 6: when you need to have what a presence in the

689
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 6: box yep. But if your run defense is so solid,

690
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 6: you're front seven and so solid that I'm sitting back

691
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 6: with two high safeties and make sure somebody stays over

692
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 6: the top of Ceedee Lamb double team in him. Right,

693
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 6: So it's gonna be difficult to get them out of

694
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 6: a too high shell.

695
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to have some form of a rushing attack,

696
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: and statistically that's not something that we can say with

697
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: confidence right now will happen. So I go back to

698
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 3: the fact that yesterday's gaps in their zone defense. If

699
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: you have to time, if you have the time to

700
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: get past those second level guys, right, your receivers are

701
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: gonna have to get off. Some'll be up able to

702
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: get some some release, some free releases they have to

703
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: get open. There's gonna be unproven receivers.

704
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: Call it what it is.

705
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: These guys have to step up right in terms of

706
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: your tight end. Jake can eat, Jake can eat. You can,

707
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 3: but you're also you're also asking that room to help

708
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 3: with the pass rusher. Yeah, so that's that's the dichotomy

709
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:10,239
Speaker 3: out there.

710
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: True.

711
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 6: And and in times where you run eleven, because they're

712
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,239
Speaker 6: not always going to run twelve, but when you want

713
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 6: run eleven, make sure that the guy that you have

714
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 6: in the backfield excels at pass pro. Right, So, Rico

715
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 6: Dado has gotten much better at pass pro. The film

716
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 6: shows it, right, you coming for Zeke. No, what I'm

717
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 6: saying is this is where it gets. This is where

718
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy has right. Yeah, this is where Mike McCarthy

719
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 6: has to figure out what he wants to do here.

720
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 6: Because two things can be true. Rico o'dowdo has progressed

721
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 6: mightily in his past pro over years past. Do I

722
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 6: believe that Zeke still has the edge and pass pro

723
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 6: over Rico?

724
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: Yes?

725
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 6: Do I believe Rico has the edge as far as

726
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 6: being all around back carrying the ball. Yes, that's where

727
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,239
Speaker 6: you're up against it if you're Mike McCarthy, because if

728
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 6: you're running eleven personnel, are you putting Rico back there,

729
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 6: who's good at pass pro? Are you putting Zeke back there,

730
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 6: who maybe is not as much juice as Rico, but

731
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 6: he's better in pass pro which will help you against

732
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 6: the TJ.

733
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: Watton on that corner?

734
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 5: So who name cor I want to answer that question

735
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 5: when we come back. I want to have that question answered.

736
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 5: Plus I've got a little thing about Zeke there, specifically

737
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 5: snapcounts I have continued to dwindle, and it may continue

738
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 5: a little bit more when we come back with more

739
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 5: talking cowboys.

740
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 8: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

741
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 8: cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

742
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 8: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

743
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 8: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

744
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 8: But the good news is Todd has at and T

745
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 8: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

746
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 8: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

747
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 8: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

Speaker 3: will be back tomorrow.

790
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: Don't worry, he will be back later. So Ezekiel Elliott.

791
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 3: Out of fifty nine halfbacks, fifty nine of those guys

792
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 3: over the last four games, first four games of the year,

793
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 3: he's rated number forty three.

794
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: Forty three.

795
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 5: Not great from Zeke overall. Whenever it comes to the snapcounts.

796
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 5: In week one, he was pretty good right snapcounts. He

797
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 5: had a lot of carries, he had some different possibilities.

798
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 5: Started it game, yeah, started the game thirty two snaps.

799
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 5: Then in week two he goes to twenty eight. Then

800
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 5: in week three it goes to fifteen.

801
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: And last week it went down to just ten snaps.

802
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: I feel you feel what I feel. I feel as

803
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: if somebody told you, guys, this is going to happen.

804
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: Feel like there was a show that pointed this out

805
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: a long time ago.

806
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 3: As if I said that Zeke being here was more

807
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 3: about getting Dak done, getting his deal donek and that's

808
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 3: his best friend, and then he would start the year,

809
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 3: you feel, and then it would fade him to the

810
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 3: back like Homer Simpson the.

811
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: Hitches, And that's what that's literally what I thought coming

812
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: into the year.

813
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 5: Is it happening quicker than you anticipated though you thought

814
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 5: it would happen over them for the first month of

815
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 5: the year.

816
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 3: Because no disrespect to z There's there's no aspect of

817
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 3: his game outside of the blocking that you feel as

818
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 3: if you can't get from somebody else.

819
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 5: And obviously it's not enough to put him on the

820
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 5: field because he's got ten snaps coming off.

821
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: It's also because Rico has markedly improved. Well, Rico's are

822
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: more explodes. He's a younger version of Zeke. Call it

823
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: what it is.

824
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: He's a younger version of what Zeke is today. Right,

825
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 3: So like again, there's he's just he's Father Time's undefeated. Yeah,

826
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 3: Father Time is undefeated. Has no shot at Zke.

827
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: Man.

828
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 3: Listen, I can't get out there and do that stuff anymore.

829
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 3: And he just doesn't have that go juice like they

830
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 3: need from him. There's not anybody in that room outside

831
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: of Deuce right now, that's that's showing any kind of burst. Yeah, So,

832
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not saying that Zeke is that much

833
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 3: worse than anybody else in that room.

834
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: It's just that what he does, the other guys can.

835
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 3: Do short yardage protection, Yeah, there's no out of the back,

836
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: and that's not that's not his fault.

837
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: That's that's the upper management's fault for putting together that room.

838
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 6: But you know, there's a thought that just keeps popping

839
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 6: in my head when we you know, even when I

840
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 6: saw that the numbers kind of dwindling. Look at how

841
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 6: they manage Zeke. Look look at how they managed him

842
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 6: in training camp, look at how they manage him over

843
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 6: the course of practice, and now look at how they're

844
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 6: managing him in the game. I say that to say, right,

845
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 6: father time is undefeated. But you also keep hearing it's

846
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 6: a long season. Go back to some of these Mike

847
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 6: McCarthy and Jerry Jones questions and answers about Ezekiel Elliott

848
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 6: and you know, why this and why that? And they

849
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 6: a lot of times they keep saying it's a long season.

850
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 6: You got to manage him, right, because he's not not

851
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 6: a spring chicken. Okay, could this be a situation where

852
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 6: they're stashing him? Yeah, wild Rico is improving. Absolutely. You

853
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 6: start to see more of Zeke in November in December

854
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 6: because they are trying to kind of keep the workload

855
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 6: off of him. What are you looking to see in

856
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 6: nov in December? No, I'm not telling what I'm I'm saying.

857
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 6: I'm just saying that, yeah, if they want, if they

858
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 6: want a fresher, yeah, they're.

859
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 3: Putting them in the mason and putting them on the shelf. Okay,

860
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 3: so to put them in the mason jar. When you

861
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 3: when you open up the mason jar, what are you

862
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 3: expecting to see an expiration date?

863
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just being you hoping that.

864
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 3: Are you looking to see something different than than the

865
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 3: product that's already on the field.

866
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: I want some jamming. So if ric o'daldo is the product.

867
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 3: On the field, what are you looking to see out

868
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 3: of Zeke that is going to be different than what

869
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 3: Rico's providing you. I just I don't see the possibility

870
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 3: if if that happens, great if that And I mean

871
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that this is the plan.

872
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 6: I'm saying that in the in the conversation of assessing

873
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 6: all the possibilities, of all possibilities, go back and look

874
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 6: at the bread trail. So if in six seven weeks

875
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 6: from now we look back and after the bye week

876
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 6: you started to see Ezekiel Elliott's reps started tick upward,

877
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 6: then that will be telling that this is what they've

878
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 6: been doing the whole time.

879
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 5: I don't disagree with you that that could be their mindset.

880
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 5: I just don't think that should be their mindset.

881
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: But that's two different covers.

882
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think what you're saying is completely fair in

883
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 3: the fact that they have outlined it McCarthy, Jerry, the

884
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 3: coaching staff in general to that that it's a long season.

885
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 3: You keep these guys fresh, especially when Father Time is undefeated.

886
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: You want them to be best at their best whenever

887
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 3: they need it most. But let me get this specifically.

888
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 5: Clear from my own opinion, you need him best when

889
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 5: you need to win football games, and you need to

890
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 5: win a lot of these football games over the next

891
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 5: seven weeks. This would be a great time to utilize him.

892
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 5: I don't care if seventeen games is the thought process.

893
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 3: If Zeke has anything left in the tank, floor it

894
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: over the next seven day or seven weeks, figure something

895
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 3: out in the run game, because it's it's.

896
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 6: Not a counterpoint because if if in fact the plan

897
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 6: is is you want to keep Zeke fresh for the

898
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 6: back end of the season, I'm with Kyle. You started

899
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 6: to and two, you have a gauntlet that you need

900
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 6: to complete going into the buy and coming out of

901
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 6: the buy. You need these wins. You need them right now,

902
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 6: calling all cars if you ask me. And then on

903
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 6: the back end of the season, if you're looking at

904
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 6: Zeke and you're like, Okay, he's a little banked up.

905
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 6: Father time is starting to wear on him. Where's Dalvin?

906
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 6: That's how you hand it.

907
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: It's what I'm.

908
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 3: Saying, Oh man, it's it's a debacle. The running game

909
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 3: is a debacle Dallas Cowboys. It's not just it's not

910
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 3: just the players, like we broke it. I broke it

911
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 3: down yesterday. And again, I'm not sure how they distribute it,

912
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 3: but I was working with the production team and I

913
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 3: was walking through the plays, and I think they're going

914
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 3: to distribute it on social So pay attention to the

915
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 3: to the X for the Dallas Cowboys account. I think

916
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 3: that's how they put it out there. Is this running

917
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 3: game is not far off. It's really not far off.

918
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 3: I know we talk a lot about the personnel. The

919
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 3: scheme is right, majority of the blocking is right. What's

920
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 3: been venting the splash plays? Because there's only been four

921
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 3: plus ten yard runs this year in four games, so

922
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 3: won a game. That's what you're averaging is one guy's

923
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 3: missing his assignment. Like, that's how close you are to

924
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 3: having a splash play on the run game. It's not

925
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: far off.

926
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 13: I know.

927
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: We talk about this a lot. Hunterd Lipke said that

928
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: yesterday to really just that's interesting.

929
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 6: He said, it's one one of two guys missing the

930
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 6: assignments and then it creates a cascade effect.

931
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: It's almost like I watched film.

932
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 3: It's almost like you played in the NFL that too,

933
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 3: So watch. Look, I don't know when they're gonna put

934
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 3: it out there, okay, but pay attention to it. We

935
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 3: brought broke down like four plays. They probably didn't put

936
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 3: out like one. But of the of when you guys

937
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 3: see that one, it's one play. It's one person. It's

938
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: literally one person every single time, and they had it

939
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 3: blocked up. They were they map it out perfectly, they

940
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 3: call it perfectly for the perfect defense is blocked perfectly,

941
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 3: and then one guy misses his assignment and then you

942
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 3: get a cloud of dust and in a in a

943
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 3: in a half yard production.

944
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's very close.

945
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 3: So I say, we were talking about personnel, we're talking

946
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 3: about Zeke, we're talking about Rico, and you know the

947
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: lack of production. But it's really really close, so you'd

948
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 3: be sitting here, you know, a couple weeks from now saying, okay,

949
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 3: this run game is rolling, and it's really just everybody's

950
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 3: finally doing their job.

951
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: Here's my final point on that. Stop playing from behind.

952
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: That'll work. Stop playing from behind.

953
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 6: And this is where defense comes in, because defense can

954
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 6: help your offensive rushing attack, get your stops, get off,

955
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 6: get for the field on third down more consistently and

956
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 6: more consecutively, and that will give the more opportunities for

957
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott and the offense to possibly run the ball.

958
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 6: But if you're down fourteen seventeen twenty one and it's

959
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 6: just growing, look at what the Saints game and the

960
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 6: Ravens game before. The Cowboys woke up in the fourth quarter.

961
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 6: But then when they woke up, they couldn't wake up

962
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 6: by handing the ball off. You had to pass the

963
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 6: ball to get back in the game. Over the course

964
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 6: of these of that two and two September, the Cowboys

965
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 6: played from behind and with such a deficit wherein you

966
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 6: couldn't just hand the ball off to see how much

967
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 6: you can get from Zeke right now versus dudes, versus rico.

968
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 6: So that's why they don't have the running backs room

969
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 6: figured out right now is because they've not been playing

970
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 6: with leads.

971
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: So get that.

972
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 6: Figured out, and that will help you figure out who

973
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 6: really has the juice for your running back room? Who

974
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 6: has the jewe?

975
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: Who has the juice? That's the headline.

976
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 3: And there's not just one guy that's messing up all

977
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 3: the time. It's a different person everything, different person every time.

978
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: The ones. It's not just the one. It's not just

979
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: say the one and all.

980
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 3: I mean I broke down a handful of players and

981
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 3: it's just like, had this one person got their block,

982
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 3: that's a twenty yard game.

983
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 5: Well, you asked the question going into the final moments

984
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 5: of the second segment. This is this is our final

985
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 5: thing today. Who needs to be at their best? Who

986
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 5: needs to have their best game this week? You want

987
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 5: to go first, I'll go first.

988
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. Oh yeah, I knew I was gonna throw

989
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: you guys. Mike McCarthy.

990
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy has to have his best game as the

991
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboy. And the reason why is because he doesn't

992
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 3: have all his personnel. He is a Pittsburgh guy. He

993
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 3: doesn't have all this personnel. Okay, so he has to

994
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 3: be as creative. We talking about creativity, right, and the

995
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 3: lack of creativity we've seen this year in comparison to

996
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 3: recent years. Okay, this is Mike McCarthy who's office was

997
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 3: the top of the league last year. Okay, I'm not

998
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 3: talking about Keelamore's offense. I'm talking about m McCarthy's offense. Okay,

999
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 3: these guys are at the top last year passing and rushing.

1000
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 3: They did pretty good at in top fifteen. So you

1001
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 3: need to see him get in his bag his Christmas.

1002
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 3: Hopefully he sent his letter early. Hopefully they sent Nah,

1003
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 3: I hope he's not on the knoty list. They send

1004
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 3: it down the shoot already over. I don't give a

1005
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 3: dog on. Okay, you've got orange and be a bag

1006
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 3: snatcher in my hood, Kyle trigger treating. You went trigger

1007
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 3: treating and you're walking in looking at you know now,

1008
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 3: you don't even get that somebody rides behind her bicycle

1009
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 3: and just snatches your bag full of candy.

1010
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: So your whole night at work was for nothing. You

1011
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: will coach McCarthy to be a bag snatch up going

1012
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: there and snatch the dog on bag of dog on.

1013
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin and just going to eat all this as

1014
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 3: in all the good is reesays King's eye.

1015
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: Fair, You're ready for mine? I'm ready. It's Mike Zimmer. Ah.

1016
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 6: And you know why because Mike McCarthy he's without some personnel, right,

1017
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 6: Mike Zimmer is without Michael Parsons, and he's without de

1018
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 6: Marcus Lawrence. And we don't know if Kayln Carson is

1019
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 6: go Kayln Carson return to practice, by the way, limited

1020
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 6: capacity though, So the quarterback who's their quarterback? Yeah, I

1021
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 6: get what you're saying. However, speaking of quarterbacks, how do

1022
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 6: the Cowboys typically fair against mobile quarterbacks?

1023
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 1: Not very good? How do they typically fair against run defenses? Typically?

1024
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 6: And even in the young Mike Zimmer era, giants came

1025
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 6: notwithstanding not great, not great. Okay, mobile quarterback who also

1026
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 6: Justin Fields, has been in his bag this year. Okay, now,

1027
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 6: gee Harris, he can do some damage back there. And

1028
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 6: you get exactly Mike Zimmer right. And this isn't to

1029
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 6: say Mike Zimmer's scheme is the problem, because I've said

1030
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 6: before I don't believe the scheme is the problem.

1031
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 1: I believe it's execution.

1032
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 6: However, in the absence of Michael Parsons and the Marcus Lawrence,

1033
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 6: You're gonna have what do you do with Chaunsey Ghost

1034
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 6: and how do you play him? How many reps his

1035
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 6: split versus Carl Lawson, How Zimmer plans this for this

1036
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 6: game is going to tell you how rough this game

1037
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 6: is or is not going to be.

1038
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy has a challenge. Mike Zimmer's challenge is greater.

1039
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: I'll one up you guys. I got one more for you.

1040
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 5: Jerry Jerry Jones, Jerry Jones helicopter pilot has to have

1041
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 5: his best game of the year, landing on the field efficiently,

1042
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 5: out of the way, distraction free, just landing on the

1043
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 5: turf and getting everybody else.

1044
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 3: Just calling a helicopter when they're on offense and just

1045
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 3: just create a turbine, get to the chop.

1046
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: Kick a field goal. Create this. Now that's a different challenge.

1047
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: Oh love Blahoma. That doesn't for us.

1048
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: On Talking Cowboys, for Chris being in the back, Isaiah's

1049
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 3: stand back Patrick, No, see Walker.
