Yeah, and so much for that. 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:28.000 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:35.640 with Ambar Garcia, Brian brought us, Nick Harris, and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.440 Welcome by guys to another episode of The Break. Derek 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.320 is not here today, Bud, we got me, We got Nick, 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.520 we got Brian. How are you guys doing? 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.080 Who's me? 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:51.159 Me? 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.360 I'm bad? How are you doing? 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.000 Well? Yeah? 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.560 All right, Well I got on the second segment a 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.200 little game for you guys. We'll see how that goes. 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:04.560 But for now, I wanted to start off, even though 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.679 the schedule is a little different this week because of 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.440 the Monday Night football, I wanted to start off just 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.160 kind of highlighting the injuries again and kind of where 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.200 we're at on that aspect of any of the guys 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.560 that are expected to be back for this weekend. 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.119 Do you have an update? 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.240 Yeah? Where do you want to start? One third of 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.600 the Cowboys active roster was listed on the injury report yesterday, 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.440 so for you know, there's three of us on here, 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:30.680 at least one of us would have been on the 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.160 injury report if we were on the fifty three man roster. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.040 I guess things that really stand out Deron Bland continuing 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.440 to not practice, not sounding like he's going to go. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.080 Kayln Carson still kind of dealing with the shoulder. I 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.880 think that's probably turning towards something that he'll battle all season. 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:45.880 But he was also listed with an illness and did 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.640 not practice. I think in that case specifically, you look 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.240 at Carson or you look at Israel Mkwamu potentially to 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.760 start on Monday night, just kind of depending on which 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.880 guy the coaching staff feels a little bit more comfortable 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.240 with going down the list here. Ferguson did not practice 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.360 with an illness, Jordan Lewis did not practice with a 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.280 neck injury, Hunter Lipke did not practice with a calf injury, 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.280 Zach Martin did not practice with a shoulder injury, and 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.600 then Nick Vigil did not practice with a foot injury. 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.040 I think a couple of positive notes you could look 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.359 at though, Tomarviy and overshown he left that Eagles game 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.200 with the knee injury. He was a full participant yesterday. 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.440 That's really good to see. And in Cooper Rush, he's 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.160 battling kind of a neck thing. He was a full 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.240 of participant yesterday. But certainly a lot of guys on 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.000 this list and a lot of breaking down to do. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:36.079 This year has been very challenging in so many different aspects. 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.519 Ran you mentioned some for the Houston's path. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.680 Yeah, the Texans. If I could had a chance yesterday 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.200 to interview on one O five to three the fan, 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:49.200 We had a chance interview a writer that covers their 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:55.400 that covers the Texans and and what's what's interesting is 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.680 Kolby Stott is his name, and he was bringing up 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:03.080 that that Will Anderson probably not going to play in 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:08.560 this game. The very talented edge rusher he mentioned. He says, listen, 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:12.880 Darryl Stingley, the cornerback dealing with the hip injury. He says, 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.000 Lassiter or the other corner dealing with a concussion, might 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.440 not play in this game. He made it sound like 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:23.400 that they might be down three of their key players 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.960 on defense. We'll see what happens when we get the 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:31.080 Monday in an actives. But he didn't sound too promising. 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.400 If you told me that Anderson Stingley and Laster, We're 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.240 not going to play in this football game. That's a 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.200 big that's a big win right there for the Cowboys 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.120 to have to deal with. Because we've talked about it here. 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.360 Their secondary I think is really really good and Stanley 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.240 being a big part of that and Laster being a 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.320 big part of that. And so if they have to 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.640 go with some backups, you know, that would I think 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.840 that would bode well for the Cowboys chances to potentially 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:58.760 move the football well. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:03.680 Going back to the Cowboys injury report, looking at the 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:08.400 cornerback position specifically, I mean, Dix, he's good to go. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:13.080 Killing Carson. You did mention shoulder slash illness, did not practice. 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:17.559 But the one that caught my eye, Jordan Lewis, how 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.400 serious is this neck situation? 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.880 Yeah? I haven't asked about it, honestly, Not sure, very concerning. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.640 Yeah, we've been talking about the cornerback position. He has 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.640 been one of the bright spots. 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:32.320 There for sure. 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.640 Yes, So looking let's say if this was something that 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.039 was to be kind of more on the serious end 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.440 of things where he could potentially and we don't know yet, 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.800 We'll have to wait and see, but if there was 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.800 a scenario where he's effected in that game, and then 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.279 you got killing Carson with what he's dealing with. 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:49.880 How are you. 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:54.239 Looking at this cornerback position and secondary overall? 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.720 Yeah, you have one more elevation for Josh Butler. That's 0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:59.720 a guy that they've elevated in the past. Andrew Booth 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.560 has now on the practice squad, so he has three 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.719 elevations remaining. And then you have a lot of shuffling 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.920 that you probably have to do if Jordan Lewis and 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.880 or Kayln Carson could not go. You're looking at Israel 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.719 Mkwamuo as an option as well in that mix. But 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.560 you need Draun Plants back so bad. And I think 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.320 it's getting to a point now we've talked about it 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.000 on the show this week. I think starting next week 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:23.520 you either have to make the decision to shut him 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:27.200 down or to bring him back. And I it's it's 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.919 you need that roster spot when it comes to the 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.360 corner position, because whenever Kayln Carson goes down, Jordan Lewis 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.760 goes down, does not practice yesterday with specific injuries, then 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.200 you're really starting to test that corner depth even more. 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.240 I mean it's been tested since the very beginning since 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.720 Week one, but you're testing it even more as the 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:43.400 season goes on. 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.600 Yeah, one of the reasons why you've actually had some 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.840 success at the nickel if you look at the way 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.279 the position's played for the league. You know, Jordan Lewis 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.440 is one of the top nickel players and slot players, 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.240 and you know, in a in a year where a 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.880 lot of things have gone wrong, Jordan Lewis has been 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.880 one of the things that's been really, really good. And 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.440 I reached out to somebody in the organization. Maybe by 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:08.720 the time of the end of our show, we can 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.640 get a concern of where they're at with uh with 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.719 him and hopefully it's just uh now he'll be fine, 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.919 just precautionary kind of thing, and we have the extra 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.600 day and we'll move on from there. But uh, yeah, 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.560 it's uh, it's that time of year and uh you know, 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.599 when you're three and six team, it seems like those 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.080 injuries even compound more. Uh. Nick was talking about Bland, 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.839 you know, they were they were really they felt like 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.480 was really good shape with Bland, and then they had 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.520 that Thursday practice and that that you know, the soreness 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.920 came back and they've been trying to get That's what 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.120 they've been working on, is trying to get that soreness 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:48.080 to go away. So unfortunately, uh uh, you know, he 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.479 is uh, he's yet to make an appearance here. But boy, 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.440 they've they've they've had They've had way way too many 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.720 injuries in that secondary this year. And if if you know, 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.960 if Jordan Lewis can't go, well that that will be 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.400 you know, we talked about the Texans and them losing guys. 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.200 Jordan Lewis being out would really really hurt this football 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:05.040 team defensively. 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:11.160 Well, that's going to be an interesting situation there when 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.840 you've already been struggling so much injury wise on the 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.720 defensive side of the wall. And I wanted to post 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.520 this question to you guys. I've seen a couple of people. 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.160 The majority of people don't wanna of fans, don't want 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.920 to use this as an excuse, but I've seen a 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.600 few people on Twitter just bring up this whole idea 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:33.160 of like, Okay, the Cowboys have been really slapped by 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.120 the injury bug throughout the year and the season. 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.880 How much do you attribute to that being. 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.200 The case, the reason why they're in the position that 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.040 they're currently at versus. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.480 You just being bad period. 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.560 I actually put up a big analysis this morning on 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.840 Star Telegram Quick Plug, and it was basically, how did 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.560 the Cowboys get here? How did they get to three 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.360 and six? How did they become one of the league's 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.120 big disappoints this year. Injuries was one of those major concerns. 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.960 It was probably, you know, third or fourth on that list, 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.440 but it's it's definitely something that's played a role because 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.240 I think if you head into this season fully healthy 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.800 and you battle you know, the usual Nixon, Knax and 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.760 Dinks throughout the season, then I think this team is 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.880 in a better position than three and six. You look 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.480 at Deron Bland, you look at Sam Williams, you look 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.880 at dag Obviously, you look at Micah DeMarcus Lawrence. I mean, 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.640 the list goes down. I don't think there's been maybe 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.560 Ceedee Lamb is the only guy who hasn't missed a 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.480 game that you would consider like an All Pro on 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.080 a year to year basis. Tyler Smith as well. But 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.480 it's it's been really tough. The injury bug has really 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:37.520 hit this team hard this season. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.800 Injuries have been tough. We mis evaluated this team some 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:44.319 tough too. Yeah. Absolutely, we felt like that there were 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.800 players that we were going to ask to play bigger roles. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.640 They really really lean on the draft. They really tried 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.680 to lean on the draft. They were hopeful that Mozzie 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.680 Smith would be better. It's funny, Mozzie Smith plays really 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.679 well against divisional opponents. It's two best games this year 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.760 being go it's the Giants and the Eagles. So maybe 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:06.360 he's a divisional player. Uh, I'm just saying that right now. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.160 It needs to be good for all the games. But yeah, 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.280 they they they they were asking you know, Tolbert to 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.559 be better. They were asking uh, they were asking Terrence 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.160 Steel to be better there, and then you know they 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.679 I don't think they expected Zach Martin to take a 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.360 step down the way he played. 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:23.040 Uh. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.120 I don't think they expected what was going to happen 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.120 that tackle where they the learning curve was going to 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.040 be so steep. I think the center's got a lot 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.720 of promise, but they've they're there's some positions I mentioned. 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.120 Masey mentioned Luke Schoonmaker too. By the way, Nick, I'm 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:41.280 watching way too much Michigan tape already on college straff stuff. 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.160 I think be upset at you for that one. 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.720 Yeah, but I'm trying my best to But they're good players. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.840 H The thing. The thing is that that we really 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.679 the injuries were a big part, but yeah, they they 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:56.520 they they mis evaluated. I mis evaluated this football team 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.480 and what it was what it needed to do to 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.880 compete with the Eagles. You know, the Commanders. I give 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.680 the Commanders a lot of credit for They're still not 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.439 very good. I don't think on defense, but the Commanders 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.160 have found a quarterback, they got skill guys. Their team 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:12.959 is going to be something you're gonna have to deal with. 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.600 So now instead of just dealing with the Eagles, you're 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.880 gonna have to deal with the Commanders too. So, you know, 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.199 Will McClay has done a really nice job through the 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.840 years of building a team that can win the division. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.679 But his job is going to be now even more 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.600 important with the fact that the Commanders are showing up 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.679 and you know, the misevaluation of his team at certain 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.280 spots and asking guys to elevate their game. You know 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.880 that that that I think that hurt them in the way. 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.480 This injuries are bad, but the some misevaluations are there 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:42.880 as well. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.439 I think it really started with the twenty twenty three 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.760 draft class. I think I think you could you could 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.520 pin all the way back to that being a starting point, 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.280 just because this team is rolling so much on youth, yeah, 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.560 I and that youth just didn't show up last year. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.439 I mean you look at that those ESPN to put 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.160 out a report at end of the regular season last 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.800 year about how all thirty two draft classes performed, and 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.400 Dallas was dead last thirty second. And you're relying on 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.920 that draft class to take over some big starting roles 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.720 going into twenty twenty four, and we're starting to see 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.480 what that brings you. You look at Luke scoon Maker, what 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.040 is the six offensive snaps in the last three games combined? 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.959 Minzi Smith ranked dead last out of all defensive tackles 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.679 in the league according to Pro Football Focus. Overshown's really 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.800 starting to step up as since his ACL injury, but 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.920 Philiami Fojoco out of the building. Jalen Brooks, He's I 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.840 think in the bottom six of receivers in the league 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.720 and Pro Football Focus, so really tough. I think it 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.760 started with that twenty twenty three draft class. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:45.319 Yeah, especially when you're having to play mainly younger players. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.360 You're a draft if you're a draft and developed team, 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:51.120 that's what which they've chosen. That that's the bet. You 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.320 now have seen the ugly truth of when you're draft 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:58.280 and develop and you have six seven picks and only 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:01.280 one of them plays or you know that that's really 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.240 the that's really the problem right there. And you know, 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.600 we'll see how things play out. The one thing with 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.200 all the injuries that a lot of young guys have 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.600 got to play. We've seen Carson play, We've seen uh 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.920 lea foul play. You know. Unfortunately we you know, we 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.160 we didn't get to see uh, you know, the defensive 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:20.920 end play all that much. You know, hopefully we'll come 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.960 back here pretty soon. But you know, that's that's that's 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.480 that's a struggle. That is a real struggle. When you're 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.840 that type of team, you need those picks to play 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.640 and to play at a high level. I'm not asking 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.480 you to play at Pro Bowl level at all the level 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.480 all those players, but unique guys that that that are 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.400 not being uh, their their reps are being limited. Like 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:43.439 a Luke scoon Maker. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.240 Let's go ahead and take our first break. 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.840 When we come back, we'll get into the Yetti segment 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.199 and then we'll hit some of the preview for this 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.200 game on Monday Night Football. 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:58.880 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.880 cheatah Savannah.

Okay, So for 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.880 this game, today's game, I'm just gonna present different scenarios 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.080 like football game during the game scenarios, and I want 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.200 to ask you, guys, what kind of decision you would 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.280 make as a coach. You're calling the place making the 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.160 decisions here. Okay, so we're in the two minute drill, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.600 down by four points, and make sure you're taking notes 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:28.080 if you need to down by four one time out left. 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.840 This is a situation. It's a final drive on the game. 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.400 You're trailing by four points with one forty left on 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.720 the clock. Okay, you've got one time out remaining and 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.560 you're starting at your own thirty five yard line. You 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:48.280 need to score one touchdown to win. So what type 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:51.360 of passing play do you call? Do you take the 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:55.960 shots down the field or playing more conservatively, conservatively to 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:56.840 manage the clock? 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:58.200 Hold on, who's my offense? 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:01.840 You got what you got? 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.160 So you're the Cowboys right now. 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:08.159 You're the Cowboys right now. But this is where regardless, 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:09.480 this is where they got. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:10.840 You in the game, right right right. 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:12.520 I'm just asking who do I have on the You 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.919 got what you got? Okay, Okay, So the Cowboys currently. 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.000 As coaching the Cowboys right now? 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.720 Okay, Okay, okay, yes, Can I ask one more questions? Yes, 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.760 is that with Dak at quarterback? Or is this with 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:26.000 Cooper Rush quarterback? I would say Dak Okay, Deck at quarterback? 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.640 Okay, then that does that mean? Okay, okay, all right, 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.280 let's let's let me figure this out. 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.600 What can we do it this way? Play with Cooper Rush, 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:35.720 Play with Cooper Rush. 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:38.920 I think that affects a lot of the decision. 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.280 But I think that's what I think, that's what you 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:40.720 can maybe. 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:43.320 Okay, let's go ahead and play with Cooper, play with 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:44.200 Cooper Rush. 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:46.879 You have your current staff. 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.240 Tell you what, tell you what, because you can't take 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.720 any big shots with with Cooper. Here's here's what I'm 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:53.160 Here's what I'm gonna do to get down the field. 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.000 Right, you're your thirty five one time out. 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.840 Thirty five one time out. Okay. I'm taking on the 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.040 very first snap, I'm going on a route or something 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.040 along the sideline to CD. I'm gonna get him ten 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:07.679 yard completion out of bounds. That takes off probably you know, 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.919 seven seconds. Whatever you get to let's say forty seven 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.320 yard line, right, and I'm gonna bring out Trey Lance, 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.439 and the defense is going to be a little bit 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.920 more buffered, you know, And so I'm gonna exactly and 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.200 so I'm gonna do a read option with Trey Lance, 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.680 and I'm gonna run him out for about seven eight 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:26.280 yards and if he breaks a big game, then he 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:27.840 breaks a big game because the defense is gonna be 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.080 playing off and if he gets tackled, you know, you know, 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.200 in bounds, then that's where I can use my time 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:33.760 out if I wanted to. I don't think think I 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.880 necessarily have to get back up to the line. Throw 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:37.640 Cooper out there. Be sure you're talking to him while 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:39.040 he's on the sideline, being like, hey, this is what 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.159 we're gonna run at this that this happens, right, So 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.800 he goes up. You're across midfield at that point, then 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.199 you start using that Jake Ferguson, Jake Ferguson across the 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.160 middle of the field. You might still have that one timeout, 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:49.320 and if you do, you can use it at some 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.080 point and then it'll set you up about the twenty 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:55.800 yard line about thirty seconds to go. Okay, yeah, I. 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:56.600 Like what you did there. 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:57.040 Thank you. 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.560 I'm I've got the one time out I'm in my 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.119 thirty five. I'm probably gonna start with a screen. I'm 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.680 probably gonna run because if I'm playing the Texans, I 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.520 think they're gonna bring five man pressure. I think they're 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.080 gonna try and blitz me. I know they're big down 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.840 playing Or is this just I was just thinking about 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.760
