Are the Cowboys seriously going to be looking at Past Rush Helper, where they'll focus solely beyond linebacker and or secondary Ryan Ross? I think they're open to all, I think they're open to all avenues. I think that to me, they need to get better and they need to get better and all three of those that were mentioned. But if in fact the things that

3:05you're talking about, if all son, Lawrence gets on a run or as a rock who gets on run, the both look good. You need to get Gary, Vaughn Miller's got to do something to help out the situation. I kind of feel like that all three of those spots, or if you could upgrade any one of those spots, you'd absolutely have to do it. At the People's Tacos, goodness gracious. This one, being an interesting topic. But if the Cowboys end up not being good on defense and CP is a failure. They go seven to nine, seven and 10 again. With that, make a case going into next season to officially start a real rebuild. You sell off what you can't. Maybe even your quarterback, you tank it for a year or two. You get several picks in the top five and maybe end up wrapped in a quarterback and you start from scratch. Yeah, I mean, I never see Jerry Jones or Steven Jones doing that. But listen, there's teams that have done that. If all of a sudden things

4:10aren't working, I want to believe that Christian Parker is going to work. I really, really want to believe that. I think he's a good young coach. I think he's got good ideas. Does he have the personnel? He had his first swing at it. He brought a lot of these coaches in and brought a lot of these players in. Does he need more help in some certain spots? We'll see. We got 15 more weeks of this thing. Let's see how it all plays out. Listen, I just never see that Jones is completely selling everything off and going that route. But it's something. We're going to be optimistic. There we go. Be optimistic. There you go. I'm going to try. I'm going to try to will that into existence, especially now with the way that your division's looking. Yeah, the division in the quarterback, your quarterback playing well. So yeah, 100%. All right, Dr. Ket, Cowboys are ninth in the NFL on the white box rate defensively.

5:11Yeah. Jerry's going to be coming up. Are you expect maybe CP gets away from some of those light boxes? You dial up early rundown, what's his algorithm you think they need to be on early downs to keep the Ravens off-favorite situations? Yeah, if the Ravens, yeah, it's excellent question because what are the Ravens going to do with wide receiver? That's the thing about it. They took a beating for not running that mountain of a running back that they have. They're a kindery. They took a beating for not running him in the second half of that football game. And they got a good offensive line. Vega, Ooni, Roger Rosengarten, Stanley dealing with a toe injury that might set him back a little bit. John Simpson, they've got, they've got some good players. But yeah, Dallas is a light box team. We told you that coming in, they are going to, Dallas is going to play a light box because they want you to run. But they thought they make you run

6:14and they were going to be able to play handle it with the linebackers and then with their defensive tackles. That just hasn't materialized. I don't know. Like I said last week, you're going to see how stubborn Christian Parker is going to be. Is he going to believe in, okay, we've got Quinnon and we've got Kenny and we've got these linebackers and we're going to do better. We're going to do better. And coaches get that way. They get a little stubborn sometimes. They sure do. And hey, you beat yourself up about offensive tackles. But I remember you liked yourself some Roger Rosengarten. I did. Kevin, I watched you still credit on that one. I think Roger Rosengarten's a pretty damn good player. So yeah, I'm a, this is, this is clearly the best line. This is most skilled players. I think that you've played again so far. So yeah, this is a good, this is a good line. And Mark Andrews makes things tough too. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Because on third down, that's going to be a big, big cover. You know, however they play Mark Andrews, it's very much like what going into it, Isaiah likely, that kind of thing.

7:19I mean, Mark Andrews is a third down machine when it comes to this stuff. At Vista Print, we know you've got that idea for your business.

I watched Quinten Williams all day yesterday. I took Tuesday and said listen, Quinten Williams at times is very, very good. Quinten Williams handles double teams. Quinten Williams handles the single block. Quinten Williams is able to get off blocks. Quinten Williams is able to try and run down a play. I asked Vachelin Barney this question. I asked you guys this question before the season started. Is he in the wrong scheme? He probably is. Quinten Williams is a three technique that plays

8:24up the field. If you're asking to read, react and stuff, that's not his cup of tea. And that's why I asked the question way back in training camp. So, Chris Schipharker is going to find ways to do things with him to get him up the field. But yeah, there's moments he played that game against commanders and spurts. There was two, three really good plays. There were two, three plays where he got blocked. There were two, three plays again where he was very good. And then another two plays where he got single blocked and maybe didn't finish in the pocket. Quinten Williams for a 35 million dollar player. And I'm not pocket watching here. I'm sure people expect a lot more. I think they expect the guy out there with the Rams. They expect a lot out of a guy. But Quinten Williams is, everybody around Quinten Williams needs to play better when Quinten Williams is on. When Quinten Williams is taken on two blockers and they're blitzing, the blitzer needs to get home. I'm saying, yeah, when he's taken on a double team,

9:28somebody who's got a single block needs to win. That's why what Quinten Williams is doing. He takes up blocks. He wins one on one. There's some people around him that need to play better too. It's just not all Quinten Williams. But because Quinten Williams makes 35 million dollars a year, we're all in that mode of, oh, okay, well, he needs to play better. And that's fair. That's absolutely fair. Yeah, I mean, I understand. Especially I think a lot of it's Dexter Lawrence, who is just, sure, lately helped revamp that Cincinnati defense. Sure. But I'm with you. I think initially when you watch the game, you're like, oh, how good was Quinten? And then you go back, you look at the table and it's like, damn, no, Quinten Williams is still really, really good. At the end. And there's no question about that. It practice squad questions from Chuck George Foreman. I mean, I don't know how much you've really been studying other teams practice squads. I had not at all. Yeah, with injuries. You know, I mean, they moved up a couple of linebackers and

10:28Baron and Robb and last week. It's possible. They could look to try and add somebody else. But they kept a lot of safety. It's Julie's first now in Indy or else I'm sure they would have loved to have him as an option here. But there you go. There's another edition of Love of the Store in the books.
