With special guests, Alina Rose, get your tickets at Seaky.com, the official ticketing partner of AT&T Stadium. So Chris, who's going to run the show? Who's going to run the board next two days? You'll get Paul tomorrow. Paul tomorrow. Paul will be here tomorrow. He's got Mondays here. And I will be back on Monday, guys. We land early in the morning on Monday and I should be just coming straight here. I'll be really happy to see you. Oh, brother. I'll be the same time Monday. Yes, you are the same time on Monday. I had a quick shout out. I forgot to do this yesterday, please forgive me because it was a very special day for this young man yesterday. I got Emilio, DJ M. DJ Pop, but Emilio, who was a very, very, very big fan of ours and an advent listener. He told me yesterday, good morning, Jesse. Today is a special day. That was yesterday. I'm marrying my best friend, Claire.
He wanted to shout out. So he got married yesterday. Congratulations. Congratulations. It's a clear. Congratulations to Claire and M. I hope you guys had a great wedding. And yeah, man, enjoy. Not a lot of Wednesday weddings. That's crazy. I never thought about that. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to make a cheese, have one of football. Third night. That's a good point. Yeah, you'll be sure you'd be considered right there. And why did we consider it to your fellow guests? Either that or either that or cutting down the guest list real often out of town wedding. Or go to Omaha in the middle of the week, which was a genius move by them. I think just far enough that you have to like really want to go to go and on a football weekend. Smart move. That guest list by about 75% I bet. Sure. All right, I have a question for you guys because I feel like Kurt gave us a stat and I feel like it's even higher than this. But the Cowboys play light in the box, 47.4% of the time, which I feel like when I watch
the game, it's 90% of the time. They have the two safeties 15 yards off the ball. It feels like can you win this game knowing what they have in the backfield and what they have a quarterback if you continue to run 47.4% of your plays on defense light in the box. Are you going to have to be Christian Parker and say, okay, I got to do. I know I'm trying to, this is what I want to establish and what I want to be as a defense. Is this week different to where you have to go? Okay. Can you win it doing what he's been doing? If Quinn Williams is the dominant force that you think he can be or that you believe that he was when you brought him here from New York and you paid him in this extension to be. And this might be the week because they're right guard Vega. He in rookie.
He didn't play well against the Saints. He struggled a little bit, you know, applying that block and then getting to the second level. So this could be a week. If I'm looking at, you know, where there's a weakness at for this team offensively, the only way that you're able to do that. And versus this team or any other team is the player that we've talked about all week long, you know, Nate acts for five or 10 destructive dominant. He said, you said destructive plays. Yeah, yeah, it's the rub. It's just. Yeah, he's going to need a bunch of them. That's how you get to that point. If not, you don't have a chance. You don't have a chance. In the sense of keeping those two high tapes, you have in the light box. You don't have a chance. You need Quinn Williams to be in the backfield, recreating a lot of scrimmage, pushing that guard and center back, dominating blocks, holding this blocks up, whatever that gap in the half stuff. But if not, get rid of that. Yeah, if not, you're in, you're in, you're in for an absolute long day because they're
going to get, they're going to get lined up. They, they started out this game and they were running what they call the full, the full backfield. Yeah. Well, they had it in the pistol. They had Lamar in the shotgun. They had Henry behind him and they had the two tight ends lined up next to him. And, you know, I want them to, they're going to run, is they're going to run counter. They're going to run counter right. They're going to run counter left. They run counter. They run counter 60% of the time. Yeah. So who's that? I guess everybody's just got to stay in their lane. You better stay in their lane. Because we haven't been doing really good with misdelection. Because it's going to be, it's going to be, it's going to be outside counter. So they're going to be, they're going to be looking to, and they can tell you about points where that running back is looking to get to, but they're, they're, they're looking to hit that counter where, you know, you, you see Derek Henry. And then for him, when he gets to go in sideways, it kind of gets his momentum going up. Then when he puts his foot in the ground and gets up few, he's already built that momentum
with like a train coming down the tracks. And so they're looking to get to those points on that counter with Derek Henry. And so they, they, they run those type of plays 60% of the time. So what you laughing at over there? It'll be called, we did it yesterday. We started, you know, first day, you know, same thing we've said last. Excuse me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Outside zone, not counter outside zone. Yeah. Outside zone. I'm sorry. Outside zone. It's just, it's just funny because we, we continued to repeat the same thing from last year. So I'm like, what week now? What's the over and under when we will stop saying assignment? It's the same thing for last year. I mean, week six. Week six. Okay. All right. Okay. Week six. That's why I keep laughing. The bottom line is this here, fellas. And I got to use other teams as my example because so you can understand what I'm saying
is even though Quentin William is the focal point, just like number 99, I'm going to say nine for the Rams, it's the focal point. But you do have to have other players. Yeah. For sure. At different times, make plays. And then sometime maybe you can lighten the load on your stud and then he can come in to make a few plays or he can open the game up, making the plays and that's the game. Go on. Other guys, but other guys besides rookies got to make plays. You know, we see where Caleb Downes come down, make a hit, make a play, but there's too far in between. Is that how you say that? Got it right. Too far in between. Yeah. And so it's not enough on coming back to back to back. So you're going to have to be consistently in your spot against this team.
You're going to have to be the most disciplined. And I said yesterday, I'm saying it again, you have seen this offense. Three weeks in a row. Now three weeks in a row, but it's the people I've gotten better. The quarterbacks, I should say, have gotten better. The speed of the way they can run has gotten better. That being elusive have gotten better. If you don't know by now, how to, I can tell you how to beat this cat. Hit your guy, get in the middle of him, push him two yards back. I'm talking about the past. Push him two yards back, stop and figure out where he's at. Don't just flop the field versus the run. You know, they're going to do that little read, run option pass. You know, they're going to do it. Play your man with the quarterback yours, the quarterback yours.
Don't be a hero. Just do your job. Now, it's me for me to sit over here and say, how simple that is. We all know it's a little bit harder than that. But you can't, we can't keep coming in every week. And hey, fellas, are we going to miss that? And I missed our reaction and outside zone. How many times do you see it before you stop it? And I'm going to tell you simply how you stop it. Take the little fella that's playing well in Caleb Downs and move him up to the line. Move him up to the line almost to where you got four line backers and let him play from there. At least give them a look or a threat that you are defending the run. Because if you don't, and the matchup just as already giving us the right golf versus whoever is there, got a win.
They also have their injury report yesterday. Zay flowers didn't practice. Their left tackle Ronnie Stanley and then Hendrixon on defense didn't practice. So see how about the big kid? I ain't worried about now the numney. He practiced for me. He did practice. But I keep hearing different reports that he didn't. It's so do me a favor. I don't think it's on the report. No, I don't think so. Did he look at, you know, Kurt, look that up, man. It's because I got a different report that he, you know, he ain't, he won't be there. Kurt, look it up and we'll take our final break when we come back. I got it right here. OK. On the practice report yesterday, he practiced full. Yeah, I got to call some folks. Oh, for other shows. Yeah, bad information. Yeah, well, no, I'm not saying the information bad, but I don't want them, you know, I mean, I ain't saying I don't trust them, but I ride with wasn't there. Oh, no, wore winning. Then this is the official cowboy practice report. Yeah, now I'm talking about, you know,
we hanging with the boys. We have fish. Well, before we go to break, because you mentioned bringing Caleb up to the line, would you, you hear the word spy a lot, right? Is that, does that work? You want to go through it now? You want to take a break and come back. Yeah. Let's take a break. We have two versions. Let's take a break and you guys tell me if that would be smart, because I feel like every time I hear someone spying, like a low smile last week. Yeah, it's like a wasted dude. Yeah. It's like a wasted dude. We'll talk about it when we come back on Hickory for the Boys. Every player in the league has a scouting report. Strengths, weaknesses, history, tendencies, but what if somebody built a scouting report on you? Data brokers collect your personal stats, your name, address, phone number, family details, and other private information. Then they package it up and legally sell it to anyone willing to pay. Then what? The person buying your information may not be looking to draft you. They may be looking to scam you. Steal your identity or start using your name like it belongs to them.

Alright fellas, you're the word spy a lot and you said bring Caleb down in the box. I agree, I think you got to do give some kind of new front Nate was saying in the break, the Ravens are six and one against the so and it's the same formula every time right. You know what's going to happen. Yes. Start the kitchen sink out of do something different right but you hear the word spy a lot right. Does that even work and if you spy do you spy every play if you commit to that or is
it based on formations and situations but does it does it work? Yes and no. In the case of the Cowboys, you would love to not have to spy because again, the God that you're talking about using the spies Caleb downs. Well you basically take him out of any other thing that you want to do. If he spy, he ain't blitzing. If he spies, he's not in coverage. If he's not he's not a rat player, not a whole player. He's just standing there watching the quarterback. He's like a wasted dude right. Literally like almost literally a wasted dude. Now you would love to have a guy like Fred Warner who was in the middle of the field now. He's like, all right, I don't lose my integrity and coverage because that's a linebacker who's quick enough and fast enough to, you know, smart enough to do it. No, no, he's doing. The thing is with I keep going back to the way that they want to play in the secondary here.
If I take a guy out of the secondary that I stress out my back end like now, those guys have to be on point on point on point on point. And so that that leaves up for open possibilities. Now, if you felt like Lamar Jackson couldn't throw the ball down the field and you were really, really, really threatened by his run, cool. But this Lamar wants to pass the ball from the pocket. If you give him the opportunity to run, he'll take it. But it leaves a breakdown in your coverage and you don't have lockdown corners. If he had Deian out there, he had Reves out there there. Hey, let's buy all day. Them two joggers out there. We've just found on the island. You don't have that. And so that breaks down the integrity of your coverage. But you would try to do it on situational downs. Well, if winners, it sounded like winner, they tried winners against Daniels and he didn't work. Good luck. I mean, Lamar outruns angles. So linebackers, Jay Sean, winners, maybe if you had a healthy overshown, that might be
a candidate because he's a little bit more athletic than linebackers. But Lamar is just a different dude, man. He's a different dude. The best job I can think goes back to what Nate was saying. Brother, we got a former pocketing. Just keep him right there. And if he beats you by throwing for 400 yards, you tip your cap and you go, good job, young man. But he can't have 225 yards passing in another 90 yards rushing because that just kills you. And it won't be a lot of times on first down. It's going to be on those best 30 passing downs. It's going to be third down. And that just breaks. That just breaks your spirit when you want to get off the field on that eighth player to drive. And he breaks out of the pocket and go runs for first down. So his legs, where are you all the more than his arm? For me. I mean, don't get me wrong. I don't want to put Lamar in the box if he can't pass. His legs scared me when you are not disciplined. He whoops you. He whoops you. The thing is, we have not, as a defense, coming up on a third game.
It's too much. It's too many things to work on. You can't be working. Okay. We weaken lane discipline. We had, you know, to be rated high in pressures and not into having one or two sacks, two force six fumbles and recover one. You see those little things that you can talk about in the defense of me. But boy, when you start getting four or six fumbles are out of those 30 pass, you start having ten sacks. Now you start to grow. Now you start. It's too many things that we can sit here. Each podcast I was just to, you can just pick something and go to work on it. Yeah. You know, the percentage of this, what's it called it running and getting back to the offensive line is 35% with such and such. It's just too many things. You got to, you got to hurry up and get good at something.
And so if I were to say, hey, Kurt, what is the Cowboys defense good at? Stop. Hey, Jesse, what is the Cowboys defense good at? Well, there it goes. Now Shannon, Mr. you got it fixed. What is a good at? See? But if we go to the offense, hey man, what is the Cowboys offense good at? First thing, man, they can throw that rock back and throw it. You got something you good at that you can build off. Our defense hasn't gotten there yet. It just hasn't. And if I'm wrong, I want you all to really get at me. Tell me I'm asked to 12, ask to, you know, they don't learn this defense. For their offense, you obviously have Lamar and you have Derek Henry. And they're tied in Andrews has always been one of the best tight ends in the game. And that gives us problems.
It seems like every time we face a premier tight end, you hear that name a lot. Is he still got a lot left in the tank? Is he going to give us fits this weekend as well? Mark Andrews? Yes. Again, if I have to use, if I have to use, no, but if I have to use, if I have to use the kill downs as a spy, possibly because now we're left with the art of him as Marquis Bell or or or Jellin Thompson. Right. So I think, I mean, he's a Savio veteran. And if Lamar is rounded dancing around, running around, then sure, he can, I mean, I don't, he's not what he once was. I'm glad likely he's not there anymore. He's in New York. I was just going to say, thank you New York for getting likely out of there. I'm going to be honest with you, man. They going to run the ball. They're going to run the ball so much. It ain't no matter. I think, I think the between turning on the film and watching the Cowboys run defense for the first two weeks and then the collapse that they had last week against the Saints and
how everyone's talking about how you, you only had the ball one possession in the second half. And then you didn't use Henry at all. And you didn't use Henry? They're going to try to prove a point. They're going to be like, yeah, yeah, we're going, we're going to get this lead and then we're going to solve it away. We're going to just keep running until you can't run it anymore. So what do you do if you're the Cowboys? What, what, what, what do you do? Knowing where this defense is at, you haven't been able to stop the run for two. We haven't been able to stop the run for 20 damn near 20 years, but you haven't been able to stop it this week. Do you even have the person to help to stop it? Oh, yes, you do. Yes, you go, you go into your game plan saying, hey, guys, and you still hoping to believe in, hey, Quinnan, Kenny, O-O-Tito, L.C. Number seven. Roshan Gary as a rock, listen, guys, we got bow up. We got a bow up. And then once you get past that conversation, if they can't bow up, you screwed.
Now you start maybe trying to blitz more. You don't have Caleb blitz more, but you know, you get to the first thing is, hey, we're going to run what we run. Now I'm going to look at Quinnan and I'm going to go, hey, Quinnan, Kenny Clark, by two veteran dogs on the inside, you got to play big. You got to play big 11 guys to the football and we got to tackle no arm tackles. We got to have we got to have face mass on face mass. We got to go hit because that's how you stop Derek Henry. You know, you stopped Derek Henry before he gets started. You get him, you get him running sideways and then you gain tackle him. If he puts his foot in the ground and gets turned up to feel, you, man, folks will make business decisions. You look at your secondary and you say, who are the tacklers because they're going to have to be involved. So you got Jason, you got downs and downs. Who are your tacklers?
He make you think out who your tacklers are and you try to put them in position. So I'm with Jared. I'm with we all with Jared. Yeah, yeah, he was in the club at the crosstalk last night. But I'm with you, my friend. He going to have to Caleb now have to play big. He don't have to play big. He's going to have to play big and we and we are asking a lot of a young fellow. You know, not saying he can't do it, but downs more so than bar him. As far as being the big, the biggest impact player against bar. Barham is that rough and ready guy. He's he's rough and ready. I'm thinking more open field for him when you boy break. I'm thinking if if Quenny and Clark can do their job because how do they do it, Jess? When they do that pass run option, who got the quarterback?
Is it the defensive end? defensive end. Yeah, and they let the front line hammer the running back and then the line backers have the quarterback. Is I'm correct this end there? Well, they're option nothing that they do when they run that option. Yeah, so like, yeah, you leave the running back, you leave the running back for the line. Yeah. And then that line backer has to be. Yeah, be ready to come over top of there. He's just about disciplined man. We've seen it, we've seen it New York. We've seen it Washington. Now, here's the perfection of it right here. These guys right here. They've been getting you ready for this? Yes. Yes. You know, Cook said it, you know, you know, Barry Church rather said it. It's getting to be frustrating because you've been getting prepared for this for two weeks. Yeah, that was the whole. It'd be disciplined. You were facing a few teams that were supposed to be lower in.
Yeah. Those were going to be your preseason. You'd be ready to go. Yeah. And so now let's see, man. And you know, it just, you give us great information, great analogies, you break things down. And I want you to stop saying at the end, and when you giving us all that and then saying, man, I just don't know. You know, don't do that because I, because me and Shatterler are like, well, you want to take it on a table and say, what they're struggling. So that's how I get to that conclusion, man. I just don't know. I can't wait to hear your, they're going to be the first time ever you have multiple stats of the, if this, this or this happens, we got to do this, this, this, this, but this not that happens. Maybe they'll just have a bad flight. You know, you know, you know, you know, you know what he's going to say tomorrow. He's going to say, man, we said this is going to be glad they got likely. They'd be in the world of trouble then. And then likely was behind Andrews all those years, wasn't he?
Yeah, two years, two years. Yeah. He was coming on last year, but yeah, he was behind Andrew. All right, fellas, not, not the arrows not pointing up heading into Friday for predictions, but is it level? No, no, no. We go back to preseason. Nobody was picking his game with cowboy wins. No, no, no, they haven't done anything to first two games making it different. Right on track. All right, we will be back tomorrow. You know, one, baby, good stuff. Fellas, Chris, have a safe trip. Yeah, man, don't get any trouble down there because I'm, you know, no ransom money from me. I got a kid to feed big hands, big feet, Adam's apple. Stay away. Just stay in the hotel like yourself in the real way. You got big feet and big hands, Chris. Any of you trying to give you some money, don't you do it? It's a different country. You're a big hands, Chris. Chris, no. Thanks for keeping us on the air. Josh, thanks for keeping him company. I was a great car. I was a great car. I was a great car. I was a great car. I'm not blind, I'm a great car. I will see you tomorrow.
