Friday: Cowboys Advantages

Where the Cowboys stand against Philly.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Kyle Tucker may be on the move again after a
year in Chicago. He's talking to a lot of teams
and it doesn't seem like the Astros are one of them.
And what else do we got coming up? Also interesting
that Dallas is shopping pretty much everyone on their team
except for for Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flag. Obviously they're

(00:27):
not going to shop him.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, that'd be dumb. So years Yeah, where they got
think a trained for for for a US pick up
in a third there's no third round, by the.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Way, exactly. Uh. The Cowboys are taking on the Eagles
this weekend. I I really feel and I probably just
got drunk on the koo Legan again, but I'm really
liking what I saw from Dallas on Monday night. Granted
it was against a bad team in the Raiders, but
if that defense can play at that level, I don't

(00:57):
think you've got to score a lot of points to
eat Philadelphia. Philadelph is going to rely on its defense.
It's going to rely on them keeping Dallas under twenty
three or twenty four points and see if Jalen Hurts
can get you in position to win a close game.
I think the Cowboys are going to win this game,
and I think the Eagles, if they are going to
win it, are going to have to get in the

(01:18):
thirties and they're gonna have to use Saquon Barkley's going
to have to have a big game. With all the
additions that the Cowboys have on defense, they have vastly
improved and done so very very quickly. And the Cowboys
typically play well at home. They got that advantage. They
got Kansas City coming up four days later. But I

(01:38):
really like this matchup this weekend for Dallas. And that
doesn't mean that Eagles aren't going to still win the division.
I just think the Cowboys are going to win this game.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, I mean you touched on the Eagles play with
elite defense because it is, and they play with time
and possession on offense. They don't allow you to take
the ball over. If they can do that. The Cowboys
on defense also got a break because one, they're not
gonna have to worry about Lane Johnson right tackle. But
this offensive line is been so beat up for the
Eagles that this, even this new look front seven for

(02:06):
the Cowboys, it should be what really holds them in
this game. And I think the X fact in this honestly,
Andy is gonna be third down defense. Do you stop
them from trying to get a toush push into extend
drives or can you get get your offense back on
the field rather as well, the.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Third down defense is often predicated by first and second
down defense so that they're not in third and short,
because if they're third and less than two, they're gonna
run toush push twice and get the get the first down,
even if they're in minus territory. It's a play. I
felt Utsa has been running it all year, and I
asked Jeff about it, and it's part of our pregame
interview this weekend too. He he will tell you that

(02:43):
they studied the Eagles really really hard, and they like
it and they know that it's going to be outlawed
at some point, so they're going to run it as
long as they can.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
So the guards are going to move early.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, what never takes since the Andy Everge show on
the ticket
