00:00These guys are having some problems with their offensive line

00:03They're having some problems with their health

00:06But they're also having some problems blocking in the running game. I'd like to hear yeah, and they've got some decent backs

00:14when you start to talk about Najee Harris and

00:17then

00:18Jalen Warren, and then they're using Cordell Patterson as

00:23a

00:24primary running back

00:26But this is a team that does the things that we always talk about the pin and pulls

00:30Because they can't come off the ball and just blow somebody off

00:34They can't when they try and double team or they have problems with they don't have the guys for it

00:40Just don't of the strength the Cowboys are having inside right now. They don't have the power don't sustain

00:45They just don't sustain block so and you and you were thinking oh man Pittsburgh Steelers heck

00:51Yeah, you know they run the football and all that you know they play a ton

00:56Of 13 personnel, that's the one you know one back three. Yeah, yeah, Arthur Smith is a tight end

01:03Monster, that's right. Yeah, that's his deal of the four games the Cowboys have played so far

01:09This is the worst blocking group of tight ends. I've seen oh

01:13Really, so there's a bunch of tight ends that can't block can't block when you watch them

01:17And and I was curious about this because I'm like yeah, they play so much

01:2313 personnel, I think there are well over 47%

01:2713 personnel I think they do it because of the quarterback

01:31You know they have to they're trying to kind of the when he throws the ball. Let's play max protection

01:37When we run the ball, let's make sure but this is this is the worst group and and darn it you remember yeah

01:46Was like an extra left half on the field now

01:49They use they use

01:52Mason McCormick who is a rookie as their extra blocker and

01:56He and he can't get it done. Just cuz Washington's just stinking. He's just been bad. He's just that

02:02That fire mouth. Yeah, this is bad

02:05They they've had they've had trouble at the point of fact if you look at if you look at it

02:10And I was curious about this because I was like man. They play so much 13 personnel

02:14Why don't they run the ball?

02:16They're one of the worst teams in the league when they get 13 personnel as far as yards per carry

02:21With a head it's the one thing we kind of understand with Dallas is when somebody goes big

02:27They have problems with that

02:30This is a team that goes big and doesn't give anybody problems
