It's hour number three of the G-Bagnation on 105.3. The fan, Woolchuk's top 10 at 420 is coming up. We got Cowboys Twitter right here. Top tweets going viral about America's team. Flagtober will roll on Friday at Southern Leisure. Spas in patio, get your iced tea in your rocking chair. And join us at the Flower Mound location. It is gonna be a triple bet payoff Friday. I believe Chia follows jumping in a cold tub for a segment. - Yeah. - Might cause hypothermia. - Well, he's going as he's doing the-- - The Harbaugh. - Jim Harbaugh. - That's right. - He's worried of khakis with the shirt tucked in and the belt and all that stuff. - He's doing that this Friday? - This Friday. - And he's not like our favorite today? - Pretty much. - I don't put that boy out the game. - Yeah, well, catch the morning. - Pick the games right. - That's true. - That's true. - No excuse her. - I've been walking around with no eyebrows. People are asking me about that. I have to show them that. - They laugh. - Oh, by the way. - People are asking about your eyebrows. - Yeah, they're rude. - They are their guy, "Where are your eyebrows?" And I lost a bet payoff. The guy says, "You need to pick games better then." And I'm like, "I agree." And Derek Eagleton on the break this morning, I told him about the Mrs. Doubtfire that I didn't want to embarrass the Cowboys dressed up. He goes, "Bring it." - He demanded it. - "Bring it." - I love it. - Everyone would love this. - I'm like, "Oh, no, don't tell me that." - We pick games every Friday at 220. If we're wrong, we owe the show and the community a bet payoff and we got three of them coming. We're setting records here one month into the season. Can't pick a game to save our lives. We'll check. - It's getting really bad. So I'm hoping that this week I can keep the streak to two. You know, I don't think anybody's had. It's been one and done. - It's been a tough year for me, especially. - Yeah, you are winless on the season. - I am. - So hopefully Friday you can change that 'cause you're gonna run that option. - Quick ball and drill sword here. - So come by for bet payoffs. Come by for the GBAC Nation Whataburger flag. It's iconic. - It's a flag. - It's so different and unique from all the other flags. And I'll tell you one big difference is the folks are coming out from the GBAC Nation, but also it was so hot with Whataburger employees. - Yes. - They needed one. - They're nice folk too. - So this is like one of the most desired and coveted flags in flagtober history. Okay, let's get going here with some Cowboys Twitter. And listen to this BS is Clarence Hill asking Mike McCarthy at the presser about motion. They are 30th in the NFL when it comes to it. Here's Jill with Mike. - Pretty snap motion and where you guys ranking that. Can you talk about why you're low in that category? And that's important part of your offer. - Yeah, I see senior reports. You know, we got a great analytics department. You know, I think I've probably seen all the ones you saw and didn't throw out the ones that are good. That's part of the equation too. But no, I think we was really kind of part of what I was talking about earlier. You know, you got to look at the situation. You know, particularly on offense, you know, 'cause some of our formation, you know, I was talking to John Park about this yesterday. You know, some of our formation tendencies, you know, you got to factor in. I think we've been almost three quarters or two minutes. So that, you know, those are screwed a little bit. But yes, you know, as far as the motions, how much motion we want to do, you know, CD utilization and motion. You also, I don't know, you know, one of the things the analytics shows us is just the, you know, the yardage that our receivers cover, you know, our... - Okay, you can cut it right there. 'Cause that's like the fourth ridiculous tangent off of this is he standing up there sucking on his teeth, talking about situationals and formation tendencies and as far as motion, you're like, okay, he's finally going to get into the answer here. 30 seconds in. Yes, as far as the motion, Mike, what would you like to say about that? Well, I'll tell you, one of the other things that metrics measures is how much our receivers are running. - They're running. - Boy, they're out there running lots of runs. - They're running. - Yeah. - You gotta be kidding me. You know, with this. - So he's worried about wear and tear. - Tonight's four. And then as we start putting that plan together tomorrow, so those things evolve. - So he's worried about wear and tear on it. That's why he's not running any motion at the line of scrimmage. - The way he's describing it sounds like he's worried about wear and tear. - Okay, well, I'm glad you could explain it. - He's still describing it, by the way. - I could make a comment with your comments, they put your defense, or is that what you have to do? - No, I think it's, you know, I think it's who you want to be, you know, and right now we're not. - So that would be the way he's the waist. If he's talking about how much it routes and stuff that his receivers run, he might be worried about wearing tear on his guys during a game. - So the top offenses in the NFL that are running this for 17 weeks. - I've just, I've told you that, I love it. - I love that you provide an explanation there because it makes Mike McCarthy look like an even bigger dumbass. - Brian, you're watching the all 22 after every game. You're worried about wearing tear watching those receivers out there. - Oh, he talks about GPS numbers all the time with his guys. - Six plays a game. - He does. - Is he still explaining it? - He's still going. - Yeah, he's still going. (all laughing) - Sorry, maybe. - In a year, if you're playing six plays less a game. - This is how me explain it. It's like a new number pops up on my phone, and my girl sings it. What is this new contact? - You know, you talk about third down, it's always a two-way street. - So we're evaluating things based on usage instead of the per play efficiency boost that you get. - I'm throwing it out there as a possibility. - I like it, you know, but I think I want to salute Clarence Hill for standing up there and asking the question again, we got this ridiculous answer. Now we can follow up on it. You know, back on October 1st, Mike, you were asked about lack of motion at the snap, and you referenced GPS numbers. Is that the main reason that you don't want to use more motion at the snap, which is-- - Let's do an exercise here, Brian. If you don't mind, 'cause I know you got the next gen stats. - I want to go football. - Pull up the leaders, the offenses that use the most motion. - Oh man, it's the number one is the dolphins. - Dolphins are using the most motion. - Dolphins are using the most motion. - With no quarterback, so that's gonna be terrible. Give me all the other teams. The dolphins were thrown at us. - Well, hold on, I had this, I had this just a minute ago, and it went away. So let me hang-- - Go ahead, talk about yourself, I forget this. - I'd like to just know, 'cause usually, the last three years in international football, you can look, they're the best offenses. - Here we go, Dolphins won, Packers two, Falcons three, Raiders four, Bucks five, San Francisco six, Lions seven, Rams eight, Saints nine, Tennessee 10. 'Cause you're top 10. - It's like, probably the majority of those, we consider they're up there among the leaders in the NFL in terms of best offenses. - Yeah, what you're seeing now, I think. - What you're seeing is a lot of teams, even the bad teams that don't have the personnel. You can't just have good players, and you can't just have good scheme. You actually need both of these things on your team at the same time to be good. And up to this point, it has mostly been the better teams, but now everybody is recognizing it, and a lot of teams are trying to use it to boost them. But I just think that we need to get to a point where the Cowboys give us some honest answers to this kind of stuff. And the fact that they can't, to me shows, they're not really thinking about it, or they don't respect it, they don't think it's real. And if Mike can just come out there and say, we just don't believe in it, I would respect that a lot more than these weird attempts to answer questions. - Last five, Carolina at 28, Cleveland at 29, Dallas is 30, Jacksonville is 31, and New England is 32. - And those are probably the worst offenses in the NFL, with some of the most disappointing teams. Now, furthermore on this, Jerry Jones was asked this morning with Sean and RJ, how do you know if your coaches are up to speed on the current trends? Here's the non-answer Jerry gave to that one. - Well, I think that's, first of all, you're gonna be different. You should be different. There's a hundred nuances about what your team looks like out of that field. I'm talking about from the strategies or from the system of everything about it, from how you take home blocks if you're in the defensive line, or hey, you make blocks and you're in the offensive line. And at the end of the day, you look at that all males together, and how it comes together with what you're trying to do, and that's when the games. Now, as you know in the NFL, we appreciate a multi-success in the regular season, and that'd be idiot not to recognize success in the season. But you can have it there, but you also gotta be building to a crescendo called getting in those playoffs and playing well in the playoff. Those don't necessarily come together early in the season. One of the best teams I've seen plays. There's both more teams that we all saw yesterday and that they're Sunday, and we played one of the best teams I've seen, yet they don't have the best record. - Okay, that's enough from Jerry. He came for his coaching staff first of all by basically saying there's more than one way to skin a cat. There's all sorts of variables that you're gonna have on your football team, and you want to be different. So if something is working really well for other teams, and you're not doing it, it's fine, apparently, because you wanna be different. And then he said, you have to look at how it all comes together, which is his way of saying, I don't really pay attention. I just wait to see what the final product is. And maybe at that point, he was thinking, well, in the regular season, we've had a lot of success, but then he starts talking about the playoffs, you know? And then he's like, well, wait a minute, I'm about to really step in and hear, 'cause we haven't had any playoff success. So he then circles back to, well, doesn't really matter how you're playing now, 'cause you could be much better by the end of the season. Again, a total non-answer. You need somebody in the building to be tracking and making sure that your coaching staff is staying up with all the trends. But if you're more interested in a billionaire lifestyle, you are not going to have the energy to do that. And then if you wanna hire coaches that have a proven track record from the past, don't be surprised if they aren't on the cutting edge of what is working in the NFL when these trends have been developing well after Mike McCarthy got to the top of that mountain. And it leaves us in a place where we are hoping that they can find the person inside their coaching staff, most likely by accident, the same way they find their quarterbacks, Wolchuck, that can spell all of this out for them, and they will have the appetite to listen, you know? You could actually have somebody in there right now who's basically yelling at a wall about what we need to be doing to bring your offensive probabilities up with the current trends. And if you listen to Mike and Jerry's answer, they either think there's no need to pay attention to it or they just don't understand it. - Yeah, and there's a bunch of response, like the two ones were like you're cherry picking on this. There was a lot of bad teams that Brian listed in the top 10. Like Miami was one of the best offenses in the league last year. - It would be again, yeah. - The other offense works, right? They don't have a quarterback to utilize it. The Cowboys do. - Nothing is quarterback. - The Titans are in the top 10. They don't have a quarterback to utilize it. The Cowboys do, right? So like those teams are in the top 10, maybe they're not that good right now, but I guarantee you there's probably it's something that you can look at as to what is indicating there's a flaw in the success. The fact that they're using it is a good sign for them. If you could get least get in the middle of the pack, that'd be great. And the 817, when did Sports Talk Radio just become, let's tear our tear our team a new one. When the hell are y'all gonna say anything positive? I'll say something positive when they don't just crap down their leg and break your damn hearts every year. I'm sick and tired of being positive after a win against the Giants that should have been a loss if the Giants had a quarterback 'cause their team's not that damn good, okay? I did it all last year. And then what happened against Green Bay? You got completely crapped on. So I'm sorry if it's not gonna be rainbows and sunshine all the time. This team deserves it. - Yeah. - They deserve it. They deserve you to be critical. Stop kissing their ass for everything they do. They haven't won anything in 30 years. It's the Dallas Cowboys. It's not the Cleveland Browns. They were once a proud franchise. They're not anymore. They deserve all the smoke. - They do. - And by the way, we'll finish this Cowboys Twitter. That was a great rant from Wolkchuck once again, by the way. I'm this very frustrating subject. - It's annoying. - We just wanna give our honest opinions. And I think what I would say back to that 817 texture is you're actually the reason that Jerry doesn't have to pay more attention 'cause he knows he's gonna get all this loyalty from you and people straining to find positivity in a train wreck. But you wanna say, hey, the Green Bay Packers offense actually isn't that good 'cause their hurt or their record isn't great. Marcus Mosher posted the most big plays through week four. Guess who has the most big plays in the entire NFL? It is your Green Bay Packers with 38 of them things. The Niners have 34. The Ravens have 33. The Colts with 32. The Lions with 30. The Cardinals have 29. And the commanders have 28 of them. The Saints have 23. These are teams still in the top half of the league in explosive plays. The Cowboys, the third most static team in the league, the second fewest big plays on the season with 15 of them. Cowboys Twitter most afternoons here in the Jeep bag nation.

Tigers are leading the Astros as they're trying to get a win here in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series in Houston. It would be another home loss at Minute Maid Park for the strokes. Then you've got the Royals. Bobby Wick Jr. Hollywood Heritage Zone. Up 1-0 on the road against the Orioles. Remember, the Orioles got swept last year when they finally made it back to the postseason by your World Series Champion, Texas Rangers.

Got a lot of good techs rolling on in. We did just get some NFL news. It's happening fast and furious. Just seeing Anderson saying, regarding Devontae Adams, she spoke to a league source indicating an NFC team would have interest in Devontae Adams, but not currently for a second round pick. Sounds like restructuring would be needed in this particular case too. We'll keep monitoring. I've seen the Jets and the commanders as two teams that have popped up as potential options for Devontae Adams. Maybe it is the commanders as the team just seen Anderson could be referencing. Yeah, I could see that. I know the 49ers would be interested. Maybe a trade involving one of their receivers could make the Raiders happy as well. But yeah, I think a lot of teams should be motivated for a player like that. Still 31 with a lot of great football. The Astros made a pitching change. There's runners on second and third here with one out in Houston is, I think a lot of DFWs pulling for the Tigers. I have absolutely go Tigers, go Tigers go. And AJ Hinch going back to the team in which he got fired from probably rightly so, but now I'm pulling for him. He's in the Tigers jersey now. So 31, we'll let you know when that one ends. Okay, a lot of good techs coming through here. I'm going to just weed through some of the-- - I think Hurtado, I mean, you can't really-- - Oh, it's a really tough. - Yeah, let's be very Hitakos. - They're outstanding, yeah. - Those are absolutely-- - It's the only place I'll eat raw onions. Get them in there. - That's true, that's true. - That's how good that taco is. - Would you be open to trying something that has raw onions? You take a bite, you don't like it, it's fine. But maybe there are other types of food that mask it quite like that does. - As long as they're super finely cut, you know? - And yes, I'm willing to get through that. It's not like mayonnaise, you know, where I'm like, no, that flavor will make me gag, or mushrooms, you know? Onions aren't like that horrible, that offensive. - And don't worry, we are not going to say Taco Bell or Taco Casa. They are not on the list here. It's actually a very, very good list. Courtesy of-- - Sounds like some of the morning news would do. - What, go with like taco? I mean, if we want to do like fast food tacos, maybe, you go ahead and pop that in there. - No, I want gas station tacos. I want mom and pop shops. I think anytime you find a gas station that's selling tacos, it's worth trying. - Yeah. - You might end up having some of the best tacos you've ever had in your life. Those little home wall type spots-- - Absolutely. - End up being fantastic. - Yeah. - Lucius, do you have a go-to taco spot? - No, I do not, but I love tacos. I like, I'm homemade, I like, I'm old El Paso. I know people might judge me for that, or whatever. But I'm down to eat some tacos. But if you ask me where to go right now to get some tacos, I'll probably tell you like, glorious, velvet taco. Yeah. - Yeah. - Jack-in-box fuzzies. - Yeah. - And you'll get some pretty good tacos there. - Hell yeah. - We're at Old El Paso, enchiladas. - Come on man. - That's my bag right there. - That's where I'm bringing enchiladas. - Are you doing seafood in there? - No, I'm just going to do, we're going ground beef. - Look at you. - Yeah. - Getting some love for Fuel City. Fuel City is very good. - There's a lot of onions. - There's now two out. They do a lot of onions, bro. - They do a lot of onions on there. - They're a little carby stinking for about three days. (laughing) - You better bring some men, especially if you're on a date, that might not be the place to go. Number 10, we've got Trampo, which has changed formats and locations a few times over the years. Right now they're off Jefferson Boulevard. But they're right, it's still one of the best spots to score authentic port tacos carved straight from the vertical rotating spit. - Yeah. - Start there and try other delicious things served on corn tortillas, like the steak, barbacoa, and chicken finger. There's also a selection of quesadillas that might have you coming back for more. - No disrespect to the corn tortilla. It's pretty good, but there's nothing better than a flour tortilla that is just fried a little bit. I'm with you. - That's it off. - Yeah, it does. - It does set it off. You got any taco pin? Are you like a hard or a soft taco pin? - Soft or soft taco pin? - Yeah, soft taco pin. You're homemade, you go hard shells? - Absolutely. - Yeah. - I think homemade, like I usually write the hard shells. - It's a good crunch in there. - Yeah. - Sour cream. - I'll tell you what though, the thing is you gotta get a good one though, because if you get the crunch and it just disintegrates on you, these stuff's falling all over the place. I understand you could pick it up and eat it and stuff. I just kinda like it all together there. When you bite sometimes on the crunchy one, it just breaks, and now stuff is falling out of it, and then you're scrambling to kinda gather it back in. - I mean, honestly, I need a plate. I love the way that-- - Oh, two count here to McCormick. - Oh, let's go like one, two. - Talk with the lights on these other places that will do the soft tortilla around the hard shell. - Yeah, I don't work. - Yeah, that is well. - That will contain it. L, and if I-- - I kinda feel like that if you're gonna do the taco with the hard shell, and I know a lot of people love it, I'm a toastado guy, if that's the case. - Okay, toastado. - The flat, you know, and then you can pile it up. - Opens it up a little bit. - Yeah, you're a real poosie guy. - Poosie, right? - The poosies El Salvador are incredible. - Yeah, yeah. - I actually had-- - I had a good poosie at a gas station once. - Okay. - The poosies at the gas stations are also big ones. - Why is the gas station food in the other-- - It's like glorious. - It's just good stuff, man. - Is it just being around just like that? I don't know. I mean, it seems like it's just a great combination of-- - Man, it's not harder to be better than Taco Bell. - Yeah, we seem like they have good cooking devices in the back, like a good grow. - A lot of left field. - This one's over. - Can of corn. - It's over. - Oh, that's the lowest in the game. - Oh, it's the meat. It's the meat. It's the way they're marinating it, but the El Pediente in Denton, which was also like gas station tacos, they've since closed down. But that's where Eric and I had our first day. The nose blue cheese podcast was born, but that place was fantastic. Now, I'm probably gonna butcher some of these pronunciations. I am gonna go. El Come Taco. C-O-M-E. El Come Taco. - Come. - Come. - Just come. - Just have like the tilde over the E. - It's so delicious, thank you. They are specialized. This all fits you. This is right around the corner here. Cow head. - Really? - Tried. Tongue, veal brains. Just a few of the options on the menu. - Feel brain? - So you know it's authentic. - I'm not a veal brains. - Hey, you might not want to find this. Just give it a try. - I don't need any exotics. - I'm scared of the mad cow's disease. - Don't brain this. - You can stick to the skirt steak, the marinated chicken, the al pastor and the beer battered tilapia. If you don't want to venture out and get a little rapier. - All right, they got all that stuff for you too. - Full count in Houston. - We've also got the Chilengostakos. This is off Harry Heinz, 40-12 Ross Avenue. This bright and busy restaurant, channels Mexico City's Tacarillas, serving fresh tortillas and a tight taco menu, featuring chicken, how pastore, carne asada, barbacoic, caramelized mushrooms and the cold favorite. - Ooh, pass ball, he walked him. - Third base is not coming in, no risk there. - Okay, so the bases are loaded two outs. - Yeah, a base hit ties it, an extra bacer wins it for Houston. Breski's throwing heat triple digits up there, but he just lost his command. - This would be absolutely heartbreaking for the Tigers if they lose this on a walk-off. You just had your ace, Terrick Scooble pitch, you've been up the entire game. - Dude, this is anxiety written, it's putting me back in that PTSD from game five last year is what this is doing. - Yeah, the Astros will put some stress on you. Milagro Taco Cantina off Singleton Boulevard, situated at Trinity Groves, specializes in Tijuana street tacos. - That sounds very newish. - So there's three, the menu has a few of the usual suspects. They got Polio and El Pastor, but the seafood options are the real store. Octopus and shrimp are treated with carrots, stuffed with tortillas with fresh toppings and spicy salsa. - Doing too much there? - Yeah, way too much. - Doing way too much there. - Right, tacos, Evino. - Where's Los Lupes? - Yeah, I don't know. - It's my people. - I don't know if I got Los Lupes on here. - They bring you a hot-ass plate. - He's like, "I just warmed up the whole damn thing." - They don't even tell you you're touching, you burn your hand. - No, no. - They're an idiot for not knowing it's already hot, right? - Yeah. - Tomos, Evino, they're in Bishoparts, tacos and beer. We'll never go out of style, but tacos and wine are an unheralded duo celebrated last day. - What are we doing? - What are we doing? - They're doing tacos and wine. - Is this the octopus place too? - No, this is fish tacos. - Yeah. - Are they specializing in barbacoa, chicken tinga, blackened baja fish, and the wine list is stocked with interesting bottles. They also do a six tacos of your choice and a bottle of wine for 45 bucks. - What's happened with a ticotty or something? You know, like a, yeah. - Moldela, something, we drinking wine. - Well, you can probably do that in every other place, but that one place is specializing in the tacos one. They're just trying to do something different. - Yeah, well, Houston's got a hayword up there. Pitch one was a ball, second one's foul back. It's a one-in-one count. Teams are one and 538 in post-season game since 1990 when entering the ninth down three runs or more.

(laughing) Seems like we're the squares hang out, right? You know, hey, that's just Sandler. Okay, we gotta run, Mark Schlerith, brought to you by Hellman's Manays. We're talking NFL week five with Mark next and the G back nation. Thank you, Lucius, NFL week five, Mark Schlerith joins us. Odyssey, NFL insider host of the Stink and Truth podcast. You know, insider calls brought to you by Hellman's Real Manays. Mayo game day be delicious. And a good afternoon, Mark. How the heck are you? - I'm doing great. How are you guys doing? - We're doing well. You know, we're wondering how good Washington is, and I was watching the Red Zone, of course, as usual, heard you there with Chris Rose on the commander's Cardinals game. And I wanted to ask you how good you think Washington is or are they just playing bad defenses right now? - Um, yeah, Chris Myers, me and Chris Myers. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I always wanted to get them credit though. Listen, I think the commanders are offensively, they're a challenge for anybody. I mean, you put them on tape and they are running plays that I essentially went to Cliff Kingsbury on Saturday morning going, what do you call this? Like, what is this scheme? Like, how do you, so every time you face them, you're going to get half a dozen scheme runs that you may have never seen before. They're a very unique team built that way, and it's been this amalgamation between Cliff Kingsbury and then Anthony Lynn, the former head coach of the Chargers, the Bills, a former teammate of mine that really understands the run game. They brought him in really to set the mentality and to create schemes off of that kind of air raid offense that Cliff was known for in college and what he tried to do in Arizona. And so they've meshed these two things together, and Cliff is the first, I love the humility of like, this man, the first time around, I didn't have it set, I didn't know what I was doing in the run game, or I didn't know how to implement some things in the run game, much too easy, much too spread, didn't have tight ends, it could block people, this go around, it just has changed philosophically for him. So it's a really cool thing to watch and to see him kind of learn from those mistakes. And that's why, you know, I think most coaches, you know, most coaches, they get hired in this league, probably have a better opportunity the second time around, you know, Mike Shanahan got hired for the Raiders, got fired, and then was, you know, great in Denver for 14 years. There's so many stories like that of guys who have a better opportunity the second time around. So it's really cool to kind of watch that offense just change from, you know, from 22 to now in 24. - Hey, Stink, I have a question for you. The, I've asked my guys here on the station, this question before, I was interested in your opinion 'cause you've been in the offense. If you were to hire a coach, would you rather have a Shanahan guy as a coach or a Shanahan stopper as your coach? - Oh, I think for me, I would rather have a Shanahan guy. I mean, who's the Shanahan stopper? - Well, it's, yeah. Well, I'm saying if there was somebody out there that you felt like, you know-- - Right. - If you had a guy that, you know, a guy in Minnesota, I don't know, I mean, I'm just throwing ideas out there, but the way it is, I think everybody kind of leaning into the Shanahan way, and it's a great way, but I wonder if somebody out there would be, it's like, give me the Shanahan stopper 'cause I'm playing this more and more now every week. - Yeah, well, those, yeah, there's a huge, it's a great question 'cause there's a huge percentage of teams that that's the, you know, that's the base or the root of their offense. And of course, there's, it becomes tangential, depending on like what kind of personnel you have, the people you have, how, you know, how you see your offense, how much base you wanna play versus how much too tight in you wanna play versus how much 11 personnel do you wanna play, you know, it all is based on kind of the personnel that you have. And so, you know, I would say it's an interesting question. Like if you found somebody that could stop it, but I just don't think all the different, all the different kind of levels of that offense. And it's, and it's really morph. There's so much more, if you go back to Shanahan when I was there, like we didn't do very much other than the wide zone stuff. You know, we would have occasional gap run here or there, but for the most part, we're all wide zone stuff and some pin pull stuff, you know, and like G scheme stuff. But other than that, that's kind of all we did. And now you see a very steady mixture of gap runs versus, you know, zone runs, it's almost 50-50 in everybody's offense now. So that's the adaptability of, hey, people are playing us a certain way, Val, let's get to the gap scheme. And you start making people's play schemes instead of just blocks. And the next thing you know, you're creating gaping, you know, chasms for your running backs and then all the plaques and stuff that comes after that. So I just know that offense so much better than I would probably choose the offense. - Mark Schlerith is brought to you by Hellman's Real Manage. You can purchase Hellman's at your local Walmart, Kroger or grocery store to add extra deliciousness and creamy flavor to your game day dishes this football season, Brian. - And Stake, you were in the Joe Gibbs, the counter-tray stuff, right? - Mm-hmm. - Which one, I mean, you guys were devastating in that and that was run out of a lot of different formations, but the same play, if you had to pick which one to run the ball with the Gibbs scheme be just as comparable as what the Shanahan scheme was? - Yeah, well, you know, like I said, now it's a mixture of two schemes. And so, you know, there's so many pros and cons with all the shotgun that you run into now. - Sure. - You know, it just, it becomes very different. I'm a big believer of being under center, you know, and I'm not saying you have to be under center all the time, but any time you're out of the gun, you know, with near or far, meaning like if it's far if the back is on the, like if you're in a right-handed formation, like the tight end is right, far would be the running back to the left of the quarterback, near would be the running back to the right of the quarterback in a, you know, in a right-handed formation. And ultimately what ends up happening is you eliminate maybe 30 to 40% of your run game out of gun. There's just not as much stuff you can run. Now, there are some counter schemes you can run out of that, you know, then you run basically mid-zone opposite the way the back is, which is a tell for the defense. So you get a lot of slanting, a lot of pinching that way in those type of formation. So like I'm a big believer in getting into base. I'm a big believer in getting into two tight ends. I'm a big believer in getting into, you know, under center formation. And the other thing about under center formations is, you know, when you run play action, you first you tune your back to the defense. When you turn your back to the defense as a quarterback, that like they can't help but suck themselves up, right? They want it, they want to come up. And then you flag that ball, that ball is hidden. - Yeah. - And so it makes it really hard. So you get a, at least if you don't, if you don't get the linebacker stepping up, at least you get them to stop their feet. And then they don't get into their drops. And then when you pop back up and you have the ball in your hand, well, now there's wide open spaces to throw the football. And you don't get that same action. You don't get that same reaction in gun. You don't gun that the backers have a tendency to play, you know, hide a low. They'll get, they're out of their drops or they'll get into their drops. And then they'll come and attack the run. You don't get that same action on the linebackers and secondary players when you're under center. So again, there's a value to it. And you've got to figure out exactly how much you need and how much you want and back to Washington. That's one of the things, Cliff Kingsbury, there's basically no under center in Arizona. Now he's getting about 20 to 25 plays a game under center. - I love listening to the inside of talking with Cliff there 'cause they just, him and Jane Daniels seem to be on the same page. You see this across the league with these offenses that are working, the play collar, putting the quarterback in the offense in a position to succeed. I wonder, I mean, watching the Cowboys offense, it kind of seems like we're watching another sport compared to like last night with the Lions and Seahawks. Do you think Mike McCarthy gives the Cowboys an offensive advantage as a play collar at all? - Yeah, I mean, obviously Mike McCarthy has had a lot of success in this league. And last year, they had a far more success last year than they've had this year so far. But I think one of the things that you always have to kind of look at is one, how committed you are to running the football and how good you are at running the football. And in a day and age, you know, when everybody poo poo's a run game and it's a passing league, you know, and you got to overpay wide receivers and you got to do this, that, and the other. And, you know, and that's the narrative that's out there. People don't really understand the value of imposing your will upon people and running the football and attempts. And one of the things I always talk about, you know, when I'm talking to coaches or when I'm talking to people in general is the attempts become a really big thing to me. And it's really hard for a coach to understand the value of attempts, how it slows down a pass rush, how it creates opportunities in the play action game. And a lot of coaches, if they get a two yard gain and a three yard gain and a two yard gain and a one yard gain, that's their first five runs. They throw their hands up and say screw it, we're not gonna do it anymore. And yet they'll throw seven incompletions in a row and not even think twice about it. And I have, it just makes no sense to me because you've got to change your attitude and your mentality. Listen, if you can applaud a two yard run as long as it's physical and you're beating a snot out of people, then you know that eventually it will have, you know, it will pay dividends, but people aren't patient enough to do it in this league. And that's where you get these offenses that are just putrid because they won't commit to it. And I'll go back to Washington against Cincinnati as good as that offense was in that Cincinnati game and they were outstanding. Do you know that there's the lead running back, average two yards a carry and he still got 16 carries? - Yeah. - And then the other running backs got, you know, a handful of carries each. And at the end of the day, with their quarterback and their two running backs and actually three running backs, I think they ended up getting like 25 total carries. In a game where they're averaging two yards a carry, like there is, that's a commitment to run on the game. And you think that had an effect on the play action, you think that had an effect on the ball over the top, damn right it did, sort of the quarterback runs. But like there's so few coaches that will even get, they will even do that. They will like, they'll throw their, they can't wait to throw their hands up in the air and go, well, we can't run it. Let's throw it on every single possession. And then your offensive line gets trucked in, 'cause there's no offensive line that can stand up for 40 past plays in a row. Sorry, I don't care who you are. Even you go back to the days when the Cowboys were the most dominant group I've ever seen as a starting five. Like even if you're throwing it 45 times a game and you're not running the ball at all, they won't hold up. It's just as impossible. - It's Mark Schlerith here, dropping knowledge with you on your home of the Cowboys. The media is trying to pry with Mike and ask questions why not more motion, whether that's Shanahan style or any kind of motion. They're 30th in the NFL. And he won't give us a great answer or like a candid answer, I guess, is kind of what we're looking for. Mark, so I would ask you, why wouldn't a coaching staff, like McCarthy and Schottenheimer together, choose to just not run that as much? What are the cons? - Well, you know, it's funny. I coach a little league team with Peyton Manning. And Peyton Manning was pretty good, right? - Yes, yeah. - It was pretty good. - Completely static formations. They rarely ever motioned. They rarely ever moved anybody. It was, we're better than you and we're gonna beat you in these route combinations that we run. So there's, you know, there's a different philosophy like motions and shifts are awesome. And I think they work exceptionally well. When your team understands the value of them, understand, and your team is precise. You know, the ball is snapped right where it's supposed to be snapped so that you have a good leverage position of your tight end who's crossing the formation and is running a lead block or cutting off the backside defensive end or running a lead on the defensive end combination with another tight end. If that ball is snapped or if that guy's off time or if that guy's not in the right position, then you can't block that guy. You can't block that defensive end and then your play is garbage. And so then it becomes down to how precise are we, what kind of precision do we have? And the other part, you know, of that is, hey, do we have receivers that can't beat one on one cover? Do we have receivers that, you know, that need to be in motion so they get free releases and all those different things. And so it's a philosophical approach. And I believe in motion, you know, it's like anything. Motion is really good until it screws you up. It's like the sky's on defense. The sky's on defense is great until you get out of position and you get hit for 80 yards over the top. Then the sky sucks, right? So it depends on how smart your team is. And it depends on what your philosophy is and is it going to do more harm than good for us. Some teams use it and they use it to perfection, that Niners are incredible with all the shifts and emotions. But I've also seen, for instance, the Broncos who have really gotten away from shifts in the last couple of weeks and won two games, their shifts in motions brought other guys into the box. And then the offensive line couldn't sort numbers. And so, you know, you're running game, all of a sudden you're running. And let's say you motion a tight end, you know, from a split out formation or like an open formation. So he's off the ball in five years, splitting the new motion back across the formation. Somebody chases across. And all of a sudden you've got an extra defender in the box and you're running some type of zone inside handoff. And nobody accounts for that guy. And that was just tackling practice. And so your guys up front have to understand the motions, understand who's coming to the box. Then you have to change the identification of the mic and you have to say, "Hey, man, that guy's no longer the mic. "Now this guy's going to be the mic "and we've got to switch across the line of scrimmage." Everybody's got to communicate that and you've got to re-identify that and you've got to let the widest guy go free or whatever your scheme is. So there's a lot of moving parts, right? And let's say you've got a bunch of dumb guys. Well, then motion, and I'm not saying they do, but you know, if you've got a bunch of dumb guys, like you can't do all that motion. You can't do all those things because they can't sort out the box. They can't get those number counts correct. And the next thing you know, you've got four or five tackles for losses in your runs. And then you're, you know, behind the eight ball the entire to the game and you ruin four drives doing. - You're the man, Mark. That was incredible. Thank you so much. And enjoy week five.

The team commits too many penalties and they know they're not disciplined enough to do it. Probably McCarthy doesn't want to throw his guys into the bus. - Maybe so. - It could be. - Maybe got Tolbert who doesn't know where he needs to line up. You got a rookie left tackle, a rookie center. - Maybe it's quarterback. - That's something that's realistic. It's time now for an addition to the finest wall chuck where you're taking it.
