00:00All right, back with you right here.
00:16Pro football today.
00:17We did see some points up in London there.
00:19Cole Komet finds the end zone off a beautiful Caleb Williams touchdown pass.
00:24Before we get to our big game here, Lisey, I know you're waiting to see the Bears open
00:28it up a little bit.
00:29Was that a big takeaway?
00:30No, that was a great throw.
00:31I mean, to get Cole Komet involved, that was a beautiful drive.
00:33It started with De'Andre Swift on the ground.
00:36They got the screen game going to Rashawn Johnson, and then they tear apart that defense.
00:40So now maybe this game opens up in regards to the total.
00:44That's a good look.
00:45Great drive.
00:46By the way, impressive too, because that play call was a double screen and then a tight
00:50end outlet down the middle.
00:51It was phenomenal.
00:52You couldn't have drawn it up any better in a great play by Komet to avoid a defender
00:56and score that touchdown.
00:57Did you notice?
00:59Komet had to get right back up and snap the football on that extra point here.
01:01So look at that.
01:02Pulling double duty on the same play.
01:04Good stuff by the Chicago Bears to take that 7-3 lead.
01:06All right, all stuff we will be following.
01:09It's a big game, but again, in comparison, Cowboys-Lions is much bigger.
01:13Whenever you have the Dallas Cowboys involved, we know that that is the case, but man, what
01:17we have here is not normal.
01:21The Dallas Cowboys, a field goal and a half underdog in their own building, and a lot
01:29of this is due to the start of the season.
01:31Look, they usually had this place as a fortress.
01:34You could not show up and expect a victory.
01:36They're 0-2, and again, booked his favor to fall to 0-3.
01:40The defense has been pretty bad, and the defense has banged up.
01:46The Ron Bland still hasn't made his season debut.
01:50We know that Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence will be once again out for this Dallas defense
01:56here.
01:57So Donnie, I'll go to you.
01:58When you break this game down, how much do the Cowboys' defensive woes and injuries make
02:03your decisions?
02:04It worries about me.
02:05Or I worry about it, I should say.
02:07You take a look at last week at the Pittsburgh Steelers, because also, sometimes it's who
02:09you played and how you played the week before.
02:11Gutsy effort of the Dallas Cowboys to pull that game out late.
02:14Boy, they used a lot of energy.
02:15It was Sunday Night Football.
02:16Now they're coming home to take on a team that's rested and ready.
02:20And the best offense in football, when your defense is not the best defense in football.
02:23The one thing for the Dallas Cowboys coming into the season we figured that you can hang
02:26your hat on, guys, was what?
02:27A dominating pass rush.
02:29That's not going to be there.
02:30I'm going to read you, basically, their front six to seven right now, who's going to start
02:33in this football game.
02:34Wheat, Odigizua, Smith, Golston, Overshawn, and Clark.
02:40Against the best offense for me in football, I don't know how that holds up.
02:42Now granted, looking at betting patterns out here, 75% of every ticket's coming in here
02:46on Detroit.
02:47Line opens up at three.
02:48In books like Fandel, still sitting at three in books like Fandel.
02:51The underdog Dallas Cowboys at home, this is usually a spot that they typically rise
02:54to the occasion.
02:55I want to see how that defense holds up, because this should, to me, turn into a track meet.
03:00Which means, Joe, Dak Prescott's got to live up to his earnings.
03:03Oh, absolutely.
03:04And he threw for 300-plus against Pittsburgh, and we saw Rico Dowdle and the offense get
03:09going in regards to the rushing attack.
03:11For me, I think Detroit attacks Dallas' defense first with the rushing attack, right?
03:16We saw two weeks ago Derek Henry rip that defense for 151 yards on the ground.
03:21They got him involved in regards to the screen game.
03:24Look for Jameer Dibbs, Montgomery to be utilized, and look for Jarrett Goff then to work off
03:29a play action.
03:30I think they attack this game a little bit differently because, to Donnie's point about
03:34how banged up that front seven is, you're not just going to throw Jarrett Goff in regards
03:39to first and second downs.
03:41Run the football first, then work off a play action.
03:44They could have huge chunk plays in that type of aspect.
03:47And Jameson Williams came on in the game against Seattle as well.
03:51He's been coming on as well.
03:53Sam LaPorta, 53 yards on four receptions.
03:57Two main factors.
03:58But I do like Detroit because of the physicality of the offensive line.
