We're Danny mccraig, Heck Marion, Barry Church, 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:50.040 I'm new He Scrubs. I was there for that. I 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.280 was there hold on on the sidelines watching it go 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.800 down for the last five minutes. But before that, did 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.960 you go somewhere? Did you go somewhere before that? What's up? Man? 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.959 What's going on there? Okay? I'm gonna also bring in 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:09.920 Chris Beam in this because Chris Bean partook of the 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:14.320 Flying Iguana as well. I did um After the game 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.840 they had they had catered the food for them. I 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.040 actually went to and you saw the picture posted on Twitter. 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.919 I went to Neptune Beach, nice nice little spot. Okay, 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:27.520 man walked down to the beach after good. Um, I 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.320 got what you told me to get the potatoes, and 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.840 then I got the junkyard which had junkyard was better. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.199 It was better. It was on fire company was only 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.600 thirty two dollars. I would never leave your own. Got 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.040 got the fresh fresh guacamole. It was great. The chips 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.560 which Chris Bean had as well. The chips were fantastic. 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.640 The seasoning and whatever they put on there, and the 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:53.600 and the sauce that was good. Tacos were okay, it 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.320 was just average. They were okay. They were okay, a 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.240 one to ten. What would you get a tacos five? 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:04.880 Not okay, that's five piece now now, I also tried 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:09.040 to put myself in the burry church shoes. Tequila probably 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.720 made it all taste better. You had some drinks. I 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.360 got a virgin peanut call otto there and it was great. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.120 It was great. Services great. Man. We watched the Colts 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.480 Di Center great right there, the flying it going, it 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:27.600 was good. Just didn't you won't filling the TACCOs pos 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:32.800 papados is terrible. So the guac man, the guac was 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.840 great good. And then so after the game, Um, when 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.800 the team left, because they leave behind food we got 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.320 some day it was like, oh, it's flying to Guada. 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.160 I had just a straight kind of like a Chicken 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.320 street taco that was good and it put some guak 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.520 on that I enjoyed. Yes, that's what Chris bom. It 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.240 was good. But you know, the way you built it up, 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:55.640 maybe it was under new management. I mean, you know, 0:02:55.960 --> 0:03:02.520 I mean, I just wet. That's what ultimately we were. 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.519 We were not going to go to North Georgia, which 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.000 I call southern North Florida, which I call Southern Georgia. 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:09.960 We weren't gonna go there and get tacos that were 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.840 better than here in Texas or or California. So it was. 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.960 It was. It was disapplied. He no, no, look, I 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:21.560 was full left there, glad I went the food here 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.079 yesterday when we laugh he was good. But would I 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.800 if I took Danny down there, Hey man, let's go 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.800 fly to going I'm like, Noah, let's try someplace else. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.359 That's all. That's all. But if we ended up there, 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:39.640 I'd be fine too. I'd be fine too. Go on, 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.120 I got a five, and you would like you ended 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:43.520 up there, you'll be fine with it, all right. So 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.760 we're gonna take that into just remember that because I 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:53.360 need to know. Look, I wasn't disappointed, like oh I 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.080 was terrible, but you had made it seem like it was. 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.720 You know it was to me it was man so 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.680 and that I said, I think alcohol probably pay a 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.960 little part in it, man, because the peanut colot of 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.840 Virgin pinclot I had, the guac was on fire. Man. Great, 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.440 they can't made it about your table, should the temple? 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.360 You don't normally I do. Normally I do because I 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.159 don't drink enough. I don't drink, man, You know what, 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.120 normally I will oh me and the kid, and me 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.280 and the kids all the time. Many temple throw them 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:23.920 on down, throw them on down. You know what, man, 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.760 I'm gonna tall this. Back when the Cowboys used to 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.760 train in Austin, there was a strip club which many 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.840 of the cowboys went to, and that was the best 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.360 place to get to know the players. I don't order 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.120 shirty temple. And the guy who's the manage, his name 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:41.400 was Don Kennedy, said, you know what, you know what? 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.440 I like you new because you don't cost me no money. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.920 On my looker, these guys all cost like Thank you 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:56.240 very much. He got that's what he told him. Work work, yes, yes, 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.280 Claris Hill, Claris Hill, tall man back, yes, yes, no, 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.000 that was that was That was one of the best 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.520 places to get to know the guys because you know, 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.640 everybody was loose, everybody was cool. So yeah, I don't 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.320 do that anymore because now I'm a old man. I 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:07.640 want to be the old man up in a club 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:14.000 like look at this, look at this. Yeah, but back 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:27.159 to what happened. What happened was he floor shorts. Damn 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.720 first he hits your slogan. Now, yeah, that man, I 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.200 love him, my favorite man, my favorite guy right there. 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.760 New he struggle. But look, man, you know what it is. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.920 What it is. You know, you win something, you lose something. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.600 We're tending for. We found out last night. We found 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.560 out last night that we're in the playoffs. It's not 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.880 the way you want to get into it. Um, we 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.600 got a big one coming up. We got a big 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.880 one coming up on Saturday, as big as it was, 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.960 not as not quite as big as it was. But 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.400 you still mathematically it's a it's don't don't you count that? 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.760 They don't don't you count. I looked at the met 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.240 you still you still got a ways to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:18.080 that is it is. It is what it is. I 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:19.800 can't I can't go. You know what the thing is 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.400 about that loss? Your things about that loss. You had 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:26.720 every opportunity double digital lead, all right, your defense should 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.200 be able to win you that game. There are a 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.560 lot of finger points going on right now in the media, 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.840 and it's really kind of confusing, and I'm sure for 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.680 Cowboy Nation they're trying to figure out, well, damn you know, 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:38.760 it's not like we love seem like they want you 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.880 to lose. Two times. We won last week, but in mind, 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.120 in hindsight, you want to take that as a loss 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.680 as well. This game right here was one that I 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.240 can just go back to, starting from the third quarter 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.600 on and say, your defense should have been in a 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.160 situation to win you that game. You had enough turnovers, 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.320 you had enough things happened, You got set up in 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.920 thirty four when you score thirty four once d MAC 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.120 were supposed to win that game. You guys played the game, 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.200 so you got his No, we're gonna tell you this though. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.440 The reason why people were so up in arms last 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.280 week is because they said, if you do the same 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.320 stuff you did against the Texas you tul not beat 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:21.360 the Jacksonville Jaguars and some of the same stuff. Running 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.640 the ball. Hey, we talked about that at LYNT. Yeah, 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.560 I'm just saying, yeah, turnovers, running the ball, those are 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.680 the same things that we ran into. There were issues 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.360 against the Texas, and we did it again against the Jaguars, 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.760 and they were a better team than the Texas and 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.480 they and they beat us. But we also talked about 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.680 Ceede Lamb last week. We talked a lot about because 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.360 the OBJ and me and you. First Friday we went 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.800 in about the Ceedee Lamb saga and him being a 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.600 number one I think I think Sunday he showed that 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.280 we were talking about it after the last Eagles game 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.360 about him having man to man coverage and him not 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.720 being able to beat that. He showed in this game 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:57.800 that if you put me a man the man situations, 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.760 I'm gonna go seven foot one twenty six. And he 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:03.280 did that all right, And he credited and credit to 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.840 the Jaguars by saying like, look, man, we're not gonna 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.640 let you be the reason that we lose this game. 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:10.960 But where are you? Where's the rest of your guys? Well, 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.960 I mean he got the Maury Cooper treatment after that though, 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.080 Oh absolutely, I mean they doubled him up, but I 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:20.000 mean you Max protected on third down? Man, they Noah 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.040 Brown running up the run of the field by itself. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.600 Who are supposed to be throwing that ball too? Who 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.920 is that place supposed to be supposed to go ceedee lamb? 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.800 That's supposed to go ceedee lamb? Or hey, I'm not 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.959 I'm not throwing that to Noah Brown. Eut. But but 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:34.960 let me just ask when you go back to that play, 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.680 and you guys have probably talked about this agnagium about 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.520 that last play. The Cowboys were probably trying to go 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.679 for the throat. They were gonna for the game, for 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.959 the game right there that player. I hadn't seen that 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.400 play design all years, so I'm thinking to myself, like 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.400 maybe this is a play that they had buried in 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.719 their playbook, and like this is a perfect time that 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:55.839 we rolled this one out. We got the look that 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.920 we won't let's go But why Noah Brown on that play? Turn? 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.640 You know, like I know the easiest thing for you 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:03.920 to defend. We get happy when they go max protect 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:05.679 because it ain't that many things you can do as 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.760 you if you if you're playing safety or cornerback and 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:09.599 you see Max protect, you have to assume that the 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.839 balls going deep because you're not You're not gonna do 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.080 what you ain't in a run. Yeah, and you ain't 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.560 going max protech for quick game like you telegraphing exactly 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.840 what you want to do in that situation. So yeah, 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.920 I don't know. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you what one 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.640 on that deep ball situation. You got a guy that's 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.719 that's what he's known for, gallup. He's the fifty fifty guy. 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.800 He's the guy that you throw jump balls too. That's 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.079 in that situation. I don't know why you would throw 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.200 that to Noah Brown, But at the end of the day, 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.880 that was a mistake. I think that happened to me overall. 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.120 I'm with you. Heck this, this is this on the defense. 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.000 This is on Quinn and his boys. Man. If that 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.280 is that's when it comes down to. You had a 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.679 twenty seven to ten lead in the third quarter, twenty 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.959 seven to ten lead in the third quarter, and you 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.199 gave it up. And we're not talking about they gave 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.000 it up on the ground game, which we know, which 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.199 was an achilles hill to this defense. They gave it 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.599 up through the air. They're missing some of their key components. 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:03.679 You know what the injuries are in the secondary. The 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.000 injury to Lvee early in that game, I think was 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.120 huge because that guy, to me, he was having a 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:09.719 better season than he did last year and he was 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.400 one of the main reasons they were able to corral 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.000 the run. In these past couple of weeks, he's gone 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.800 off the table. So that gave the Jacksonville Jaguars a 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.559 balanced game plan. They rushed for one hundred and ninety 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.079 two yards and they also threw the ball for three 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:27.400 hundred and eighteen yards. What happened to if the Dallas 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.840 Cowboys get up by multiple scores, you fall right into 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.040 they track because they got the pass rushers on top. 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.719 Up pass rushers, they get after you. That man back 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.000 there in the pocket had a clean pocket the entirety 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.800 of the game. I think he might have got sacked 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.400 one time the first quarter. One time in the first quarter. 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.360 Parsons was able to get him. After that, he was 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.840 clean the rest of the game, and he was able 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.280 to expose that young secondary outside of digs Bland. He 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.120 had a good game, but he was also getting beaten 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.280 that second half towards the end, kirkstont It going off 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.360 on him towards the end. We all know what happened 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.599 with Calvin Joseph out there. You know, I don't know 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.520 what it is. He has to become more coachable, but 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.719 it looks like it's just a lack of discipline in 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.440 my opinion. Because he got beat on the double move, 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.440 which a because it got cool. It happens, eyes are 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.040 in a bad place, like It's just different things that 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.080 come to mind when it comes to him. Every time 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:14.560 he steps on the field, he gives up the TV. 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.600 And that's not that's not you know, conjecture. That's he's 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.240 giving up a TV every time he stepped on on 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.679 the on the field. So to me, going back to 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.599 preseason in Denver, so to me, you gotta get that 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.480 situation right. I don't know if they're gonna bring in 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.440 Nashan Ryder however they want to do it, but they 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.880 gotta get that secondary fixed. When you talk about this 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.480 ground game, if they continue to let Cats do what 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.360 they want to on the ground, it's gonna be a 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.559 one and done. It's gonna be a simple one and 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.680 done because your offense has balanced that way, how can 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.480 you stop it from a secondary standpoint, and you can't. 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.880 You can't. And if you're not rushing the passer as well, 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.480 it's just gonna be It's just it's just it's just 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.760 gonna fall down. So to me, I gotta put this 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.880 one on the defense. Twenty seven ten, third quarter. You 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.400 gotta bring that home. You got to. I mean, you know, listen, 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.360 we all remember San Francisco last year. Uh we drafted 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.679 to fix the problem. We drafted to make sure that 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.400 we were sure of our our defensive defense against the 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.040 run game. And he used to came in here random 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.880 ball on us and Jacksonville came in in random ball. 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.679 I mean, it's something that you got to get figured 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.640 out because you can't. You can't be leaky in both. 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.040 You can't be leaky in both. Didn't expect to win. 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.280 But but my other thing is is there are points 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.240 where I was asking myself, is this defense winded? You know, 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.480 That's what it kind of looked like at a certain point. Um, 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.559 they look like they were winded. And I'm thinking that 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.760 some of the key injuries that you've had up front, 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.720 it is kind of starting to mess with the rotation 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.400 that you're used to having. I think dan Quinn is 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.040 used to a rotation of guys coming in fresh and 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.880 then when lv went out, you're having to you don't 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.760 have the same rotation when you don't have Anthony Brown 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.640 and then you don't have Kelvin Joseph. That's affecting where 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.480 you're using guys like the run Bland. Now you're coming 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.960 in with Nashun right now you're having to use Bell 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.719 guys that you hadn't been using in situations like that. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.360 So again, those were some of the things that I saw. 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.800 I'm like, lit, this defense look like they're gassed in 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:07.040 a lot of these situations. And I mean five hundred 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.920 yards giving that up on defense. But I also, you know, 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:13.079 I'll pull back and say the defense finally had that 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.920 bad game. They finally had the game where we say, 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.000 look the floor fell out on them, all right. Usually 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.000 they've been the safe haven for offense when the fourth 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.160 floor falls out on them. That have saved us in 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.480 situations like that. So I mean, I want to allow grace. 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.959 It's even in a situation where you had a seventeen 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:35.280 point league. I'm gonna push back. Okay, here's what I'm 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:44.160 pushing back on the defense did go out with Lvy 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.839 out of the game, with Wilson going out of the game, 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.480 with Armstrong going out of the game. Here it is, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.040 they produce the fumble. Curse produces the fumble. You got 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.199 the ball back with a bucket, thirty six to go. 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.839 I'm there, you got Jackson, I'm on the stacks. It 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.199 was silent, it was all done. They were done. We're done. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.120 Cowboys over there, celebrate. That's it. But you produced a 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:10.400 twenty seven second drive. You're going for it to Noah Brown. 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.240 And I was going to ask Mike McCarthy about that 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:17.480 play in the press conference. You know, time clock stop. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.680 They didn't have to burn a time out. Kellen called 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.760 a play. He needed to use strategies that point time. 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.320 It didn't matter if you just ran it up the 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.720 gut and got nothing, they were gonna have to call 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:30.680 a time out. The strategy was just wrong. It was 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:32.600 a part of costing you the game. You needed to 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.360 get a first down. Heck, I don't care if they 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.800 throw full wide out there until Dak just tucking and run, 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.440 but do something other than what then then throwing the 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.280 ball deep a fifty fifty ball and Noah Brown, no offense, 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.440 Noah Brown had a nice game, you know until that 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.720 ball which was you know, couldn't get it, and then 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.160 the overtime, but the defense did it. So then you 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.880 go to overtime, they win the toss. You know, that 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:56.960 crowd that point time and down, the crowd was about 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.240 two third Cowboy fan, but even the little one third 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.480 decided to ride on up and they were feeling good. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.320 They thought they had it going. Defense gets small the field, 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:09.560 so twice when it mattered the most, despite the issues 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.080 that happened in the game, the defense did their part 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.680 to get you there. Your offense, your guru, offensive coordinator, 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.280 your offensive head coach, let everybody down with that possession 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.160 at the end of regulation not getting it done, and 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:22.840 then the overtime we saw how it did it. That's 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.120 my field, that's me. If you read the article. NICKI 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.480 even wrote an article after the game, play to win 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.240 the play, not the littlest great article, and I read 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.280 it and didn't want to read it, but I read it. 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:34.680 You know, I want to stay up a game, but 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.480 you know, there's there's there's always hindsight, you know, in 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.200 losses like this, and I want to, you know, if 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.280 they're successful at that play. Guess what, Kelly Moore is 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.440 a guru. He's you know, he's a cold blood of killer. 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.760 It didn't go that way all right at the At 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.680 a certain point in the game in the second half, 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.200 jacksonville A keyed in on the run and it seemed 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.280 like every run was for a loss. Serious If that 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.800 last drive in the opening drove the first play was 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.360 for three four yards, you come out the next place 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.800 is you barely get anything, and then on third down 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.000 that's the best you come up with and you're going 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.360 for the kill shot at that point. And so there's 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.440 two schools of thought. Are you are you going here 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.680 you're trying to win the game or what is it? 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.560 You know, are not to lose it in that situation. 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.120 That was a bad call. Everybody can look at it, 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.520 and that's a that's a stupid call. You know you 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.040 don't you don't do that if you try and get 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:24.520 something in the middle of the field and even if 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.800 the clock is still running, you make them one burn 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.920 a timeout. That was the same thing. But do we 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.280 know even if they didn't have a timeout, if we're 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.320 able to get there tight there tight end that was 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.200 able to get out of bounds and rug Curs is 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.440 trying to tackle this brother's looking for a ride. Now 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.120 you drug this guy out of bounds. So here here 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.400 it is. You get the ball at one twenty eight 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.640 to go first and ten Dallas at the thirty eight 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:53.520 Elliott minus three yards time out, Jacksonville one, twenty five 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:58.440 second and thirteen Dallas thirty five Pollard right in three 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:03.520 yards time out, Jacksonville one, twenty third and ten dollars 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:09.680 thirty eight Dak Prescott incomplete deep ball to Noah Brown. Yeah, 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.560 they didn't need to call a time out, but ahead, 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.480 you run the ball. They had to call a time out. 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:18.360 So Mike afterwards talking about what we wanted to be aggressive, 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:20.680 What were we trying to do here? What was was 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.800 aggressive didn't need to happen here. You needed to play 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.520 a situational football and run out, make them burn the 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.399 clock was what we were trying to work with you. 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.000 So clearly, hey, first, first couple of plays here it 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.480 first you play didn't work. Now we're about the clock. 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.400 I need you to burn a time out. I gotta 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:40.280 make you and think we'll send out anger get a punt. 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:42.520 It was a bad punt, but you know we'll send 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.000 out the punt team and try and make you go 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.480 down the field. I think this was this was a 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:52.520 failure from the coaching staff and offensive coordinator. That is 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.680 that is fair. And so when we talk about the defense, 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.200 saying this is defense is fault. Defense got you the 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.239 ball back. You're supposed to be the offense. All these 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.320 high powered folks over here, we got all these all 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.160 these Google Guru offense. Cos you didn't get damn job done. 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.040 I'm gonna hold of defense to a higher standard. And 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.679 they gave a five hundred. I wish they didn't. Did 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.280 they make the place when they needed to, the same 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.120 way they did against the Texas? Yes, but we still 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.520 thought the defense could have played better. If we're gonna 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.000 play a season of we're gonna leaning on our defense 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.520 and run the ball, then our defense is going to 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.200 have to play better. But this ain't the same. D No, no, no, 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.960 you know, especially in the Jews were dropping man, and 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.760 I get it, but I'm saying our expectation for our defense, 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.560 especially being able to rush the passer and make some plays. 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.520 Trayvon Dix turned the ball over, find Michael Parsons getting 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.560 to Marcus Lawrence in there. We figured that we have 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.520 some guys who can make some big plays. Curse did 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.040 make a big play uh and caused that fumba. But 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.600 we are used to seeing it more than Michael Parsons 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:45.640 having one second the first quarter and then not really 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:50.280 being visible in there. Second part is all right, they 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.679 should have I believe that they should have ran the ball. Well, 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.080 we're on the same page with that one. If you 0:18:56.200 --> 0:19:00.399 are not, though, your play call from your gourguruquar Natter 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:04.600 has to be something much more creative than they max protect. 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:09.159 Max Protect allows the defense to say, we know that 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:11.760 they think they can't protect. So what they're gonna do 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.760 is they're gonna bring more people in to give the 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.800 quarterback time to get off a deep ball. So you're 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:21.640 now telegraphing where you're going with the ball. You gotta 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.639 get more creative in that. At this point, this is 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.520 your guy to have it played. The one that you 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.360 pull out of your back pocket and say, man, I've 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:33.359 been waiting. That's waiting. That's all telling. That's what that's what, 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.800 that's what that play needs to And when you got 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.640 Cde Lamb and you've got Michael Gallup and you got 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:43.160 Tony parlor. You got Dak Prescott, you got Dalton shows 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.560 in there, who can be a safety blanket and get 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.800 you ten yards similar to what he did at the 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.800 Houston Texas. You give those guys an opportunity to get 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.000 out there make a play. This is also why Jerry 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:56.480 Jones is saying, I'm keeping this Odell Beckham junior thing alive. 0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:03.000
