20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Chris Beam as always, I'm Kyle Yemen's Rob What was

21
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: it like getting back for you yesterday? Was it a

22
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: just a hassle or was it what happened there? Oh

23
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: we missed our flight Sunday night? Why was that? Just

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: keep it simple. We were trying to catch a flight

25
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: out of Baltimore after the game, okay, and we almost

26
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: made it. But you know, that game lasted a little

27
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: longer than we'd hoped. You know, I was hoping they

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: could just run the clock out handed to Zeke like

29
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: forty times and get out of there. Didn't happen. Got

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: a new flight. Props to the our travel staff, Tiff,

31
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: and he did a great job. Awesome. Yeah, yeah, she's fantastic.

32
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: But it was funny because we were talking about that

33
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: in studios, like, man, this game is taken forever. Even then,

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: even before the fourth quarter, you were talking about there

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: were twelve minutes left in this game. This is nuts.

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: Why is it? Why is this taking so long? And

37
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 1: then he got into the final parts of the fourth

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: quarter where there was an actual comeback and there was

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 1: actually a game. It was dragged one. So no rough riders, No,

40
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: we got fights breaking out. You know, things happen, you know, rivalries. Yeah,

41
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't a clean three hour game. That's okay, not

42
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: at all. We're gonna talk about it today. It was

43
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: no drag on best bars right there. I was like,

44
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: come on, okay, heck, I just gave him in the

45
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: stak face in a good way, in a good way.

46
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: But everybody doing all right today? Peachy bro peachy. We

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: get to talk to Cowboys Nation again. Today, always one

48
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: of our favorite days. We win, we win, we won

49
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: the game. How the Cowboy Nation gonna feel? That is

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: my question? It's so up and down right now. I'm

51
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: really trying to figure out do you think it's gonna

52
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: be more negative or more POSI I'm waiting to see.

53
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: I really am waiting to see this. I want to

54
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: see after we have this news from from rat Pi. Oh,

55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: we'll get the news and notes, but I want to hear.

56
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Do you think it's gonna be positive or negative? I

57
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: think it really depends. Only think it's gonna be Yeah. Well,

58
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: I mean with your Twitter notification does get a little negative.

59
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and jump into it. News and

60
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: notes were Rob Phillips, what's going on? What did we

61
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: learn yesterday? Cedric Wilson's got COVID. Unfortunately he tested positive.

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: Um got a chance to be back this week. I

63
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: guess if you test negative and all that twice in

64
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: a twenty four hour period doesn't have symptoms. So we'll

65
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: see there. Um and Tyrann Smith will not play against

66
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: the Giants tackle So it's just plugging plugging holes on

67
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: the ship man. So they did an MRI yesterday. They

68
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: said everything looked good. Obviously it's the same ankle that

69
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: he's been dealing with the issues on, so it's just

70
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: worse than what was already bad. I'm trying to figure

71
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: out what spread doesn't go away? Is that what it is?

72
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: Or was it? Yeah? Which what's it? I think it's both.

73
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: I think I think he had the high ankle and

74
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: I think he's those spurs like you've been saying, they

75
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: don't they don't go away. So Um, but it looked

76
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: like he got rolled up on right, Yeah it was yeah,

77
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: Now walking he looked like he was walking okay post

78
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: game afterwards, So and Jerry was on the fan just

79
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: now and it didn't sound like they're concerned about him,

80
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, moving forward into the postseason, assuming they can

81
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: get there. Um, I don't know how long this is

82
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: gonna last. Certainly this week he will not play, and

83
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: he indicated that Terrence Steele will be your starting left

84
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: tackle on Sunday. Already gave that information up about sick. Yeah,

85
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: who do you replace him with? And you know, it's

86
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: interesting because they started with Niseki right, Yeah, And I

87
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,559
Speaker 1: wonder if that had to do with Hey, Terrence Steele

88
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: had COVID coming off the COVID list. Let's not throw

89
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: too much at him his first week back. And then uh,

90
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: and then when Lyle down, they had no choice but

91
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: to go with both backups. Now, I thought Lyle went

92
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: down prior to he went down the game. Yeah, he

93
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: left the game at one point, and Terren Steele came

94
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: in at right tackle. He did yes early in the game,

95
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: and then at left tackle when Tyrn went down, it

96
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: was automatically seventy nine and seventy eight was on the

97
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: other side. So Tyrn happened after Lyle's ejection. Chris Beam

98
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: fact check it. We're gonna have to go back and

99
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: look at it either way either way. I mean, I

100
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: want to say, before the ejection, there was a time

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: where seventy nine was at the left tackle and ty

102
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: and Secky and then you had Terren Steele at the

103
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: right tackle, but I have to go I'm gonna have

104
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: to go back and look at it. I didn't chart

105
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: it or okay, so well, that would have been interesting

106
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: obviously if if Tyren Smith goes down and instead of

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: coming off with steel, they come up with in ski

108
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: and then you know, in the other orders. So I

109
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess that that does bring an interesting wrinkle.

110
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: But he could come up if there is some discipline

111
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: handed down by the NFL. Now, I don't think the NFL,

112
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: or excuse me, the Cowboys believe the NFL is going

113
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: to bring down any sort of discipline on Lyle Collins, right,

114
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: they don't anticipate it, or maybe it's just up in

115
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: the air. According to NFL Network, he will not be suspended. Okay,

116
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: now I want to say. NFL Network reported Tristan Hill

117
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't be suspended either for the Raiders punch, and he was.

118
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: But oh, I mean this, I think this is a

119
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: little different. I don't know. I didn't I'm sorry. I

120
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: only caught like ten minutes of the show driving home. Yes, okay, um,

121
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: but I don't know how much I'll touched him. But

122
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: this was different. This is in the field of play,

123
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: things get heated. I think the thing that got Tristan

124
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: Hill was he waited for Simpson after the game midfield

125
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: bike racks, bro, Yeah, like three o'clock bike racks, And

126
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: that's what got him suspended. He was about that life. Yeah,

127
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: and it was outside of the field of play. No

128
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: whistles were being blown. There's not supposed to be any physicality,

129
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: whereas the heat of the moment really kind of was

130
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: what was Lyle? You respect more both, do you Tristan

131
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: or Lyle? Lyle? For sure? But based off of what

132
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: happened didn't happen last year? Yeah? Yeah, I'm why what

133
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: do you think you think Tristan Hill was warrant Tristan

134
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: about that life. Obviously appreciate the fire, but I don't

135
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: know if I appreciate the waiting for him at the logo,

136
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm stranger things have happened. I love that Isaiah feels

137
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: that way because he told us last week I don't

138
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: let things go easy, you know, so like Tristan didn't

139
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: let it go easy. Tristan was like, you got to

140
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: see me about this, right, You're gonna have to answer

141
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: for what you have said. Okay, uh, it's kind of

142
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: speaking on the same topic of offensive line. We've talked

143
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: about the left tackle and we at least know that

144
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: it is Terrence Steal this week, and we'll talk about

145
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: that in our previews later in the week. But they're

146
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: also was An alluded to a change with Steven Jones

147
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: on the fan yesterday talking about how basically, and I'm

148
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: paraphrasing here, but the door is open for the coaches

149
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: to have a conversation to make a decision on whether

150
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,559
Speaker 1: or not Connor McGovern or, Connor Williams is the best

151
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: player to play and start and play the majority of

152
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: the snaps at left guard. So I want to open

153
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: that same conversation up here if Talking Cowboys was the

154
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: coaching staff and we're sitting around a room and we've

155
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: got the projectors up on the screen and we're pointing

156
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: at the film based off of what all of us

157
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: have seen to this point, who would you want as

158
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: the starter at left guard, Connor McGovern or, Connor Williams.

159
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: And I think we talked about it so much just

160
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: seeing Connor Williams get abused, I mean it just losing

161
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: battles that we thought that McGovern would be better for

162
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: the left guard position, and honestly, we hadn't seen anything different.

163
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: I've seen McGovern being situations where he's getting owned as well.

164
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: So at this point it's like, you know, open competition.

165
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, thorow stick in the room. Whichever guy comes

166
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: out is the winner. So it's just really at this

167
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: point trying to figure out where the balance is because

168
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: I think defensive defenses has figured out where the weakness

169
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: is in our offensive line. And you saw to run

170
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: pain you go back and watch that watching Footman d run.

171
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: Payne was just giving McGovern and be honest, the business

172
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. And Jonathan Allen obviously didn't.

173
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: He didn't play the majority of staffs that he would have,

174
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: but even Jonathan Allen was was all of the pressure

175
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: that we were encountering was coming from the middle of

176
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: the field. So it's it's definitely something to look at.

177
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: Neville Gallim, Yeah you want to. I mean we saw

178
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: the physicality from him that some strange I'm with heck

179
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: with Parsons and running back and completely serious on that,

180
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: like I want Parsons, want that to happen. The mail

181
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: bag this morning on the website, I guess let's go.

182
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: That was a question from a fan. Nice. Uh No,

183
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: I mean I'm with you. Heck, it doesn't matter at

184
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: this point. I mean, I think you gave the other

185
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: guy a chance, McGovern, and you know he didn't show

186
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: that he was much better. So you know, it doesn't

187
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: matter which Connor bro you go with at this point

188
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: in time. I think that they're still going to be

189
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: the weak link on this offensive line. And as a

190
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: even as a coordinator, um, you are excited about that

191
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: because you can pinpoint where they're weekend and if you

192
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: can find a weak link, then you can find a scene.

193
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: So let me just throw it this way to you

194
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: real quickly, since you are going to ride a fence

195
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: like that. Connor Williams in terms of holding penalties way

196
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: more than Connor McGovern. The holding penalties are down since

197
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: McGovern took over. However, Connor McGovern has given up seven

198
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: pressures over the last two games. I'm not going to

199
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: tell you how many sacks he's given up, but seven

200
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: pressures against the Washington football team and against New Orleans wins. Yeah,

201
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: which one would you rather go with? You could? You

202
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: can make him stop holding. You can teach Williams to

203
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: not hold. You can find him for every hold he has.

204
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole lot of ways you can

205
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: stop somebody from from creating penalties. There's that coaches have

206
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: a lot of power inside this inside of this building,

207
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: so and you can start, you can start handing down

208
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: fines for every time you have a holding penalty. He'll

209
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: stop real quick, in a hurry. Have you been pressures

210
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: that's done that. I've been on a team that's find

211
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: you for being late to meetings for yeah, for executing assignments.

212
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely that the New England area you never know. I mean,

213
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: but I mean you can't stop somebody from getting beat, right,

214
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: And I guess you could say that holding is a

215
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: is a product of getting beat as well. That's why

216
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: I say it doesn't really matter which connor Bro you

217
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: go with, So it's really a toss up. I mean,

218
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: the teams are gonna highlight that part of the connor Bro.

219
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter which one, be honest, the least veteran player

220
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: on this office a line. I'm going right at those

221
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: two individuals. I would make the switch. And it's not

222
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: the problems they're having or not just Connor McGovern let

223
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: me just say that I think he's a good young player.

224
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of talent. They've told us that

225
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: he's probably at this point his career more comfortable with

226
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: right guard than he is left guard. And they decided

227
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: to make that switch because they were, look, they were

228
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: so concerned about these penalties and they felt like, I

229
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: think they felt like the refs are looking for it

230
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: because of what has been on tape, and I think

231
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: maybe they sacrificed overall production at that position to do that.

232
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: You know, I think at this point Connor Williams is

233
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: a more experienced, better left guard, and over the entire

234
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: course of the snaps, I don't think he's been that

235
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: bad of a blocker this year, and I think the

236
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: running game probably is better in terms of his agility

237
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: and mobility to pull and get things going on the

238
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: outside and get some of those edge runs going. I

239
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: would look at making that switch. I don't know if

240
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: they will. When you say a better block, are you

241
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: saying Williams? Are McGovern you say Connor? Oh? Sorry, I

242
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: think Williams is a better I think I think he's

243
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: more he's more equipped to do it right now personally,

244
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: But but the penalties were why he got sat down

245
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: and that will have to be cleaned up if he's

246
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: back in the lineup. In the nine games that Connor

247
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: Williams started, he gave up a total of ten pressures.

248
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: We just mentioned seven over the last two. For Connor

249
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: McGovern he's given up twelve over the four games he's started.

250
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: So it's a significant number of pressures more so on

251
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: a bigger basis with McGovern however, penalties. McGovern vern has

252
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: only allowed two penalties, been called for two penalties and

253
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: Connor Williams at thirteen all year long. Now he was

254
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: on the historic pace. Yeah, well as far as his

255
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: penalties were concerned. But you know, you see if you

256
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: go back just to the Kansas City game, the amount

257
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: of pressure that Dak is getting right up in his face.

258
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: This gave me. He was sacked four times, pressure ten.

259
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: It's a lot going on. It's a and we talk

260
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: about what's what's wrong with Dak. You know what's what's

261
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: happening with Dak? Dad can't find any rhythm. It really

262
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: hard to find that rhythm a lot of times, man,

263
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: when you got guys following around you in your face,

264
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: grabbing on you, and so you go back to the

265
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: Washington game, he was not in the clean pocket a

266
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: lot of times. You're right. When I watched it back,

267
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: I thought the protection is a little better. I don't

268
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: know about that. I thought there were times where he

269
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: had a clean pocket or clean inch pocket and he misthrows.

270
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: But I don't you know, overall it wasn't clean has

271
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: But usually with Dak Prescott, you're able to navigate through

272
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: the muck. You're able to navigate through a not so

273
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: clean pocket. But how much does that limit him and

274
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: what he's able to do as a quarterback. It's just

275
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. You've seen quarterbacks coming to

276
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: the league that become punch drunk. They get hit too

277
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: many times, and when they get hit too many times

278
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: something exactly, And so are you when you look at

279
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: Dak are you thinking just from this six game sample

280
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: side we were talking about from the beginning whereas QBR

281
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: was this and now with this period, this period where

282
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: we're seeing that we're seeing him decline, are you thinking

283
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: that the pressure has anything to do with Are you

284
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: fully saying mechanics and he's just off? I think think

285
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: he's off. Okay, Yeah, I just think he's off. I

286
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: don't you start talking about quarterbacks being under pressure. There's

287
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: a whole lot of quarterbacks that don't have a lot

288
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: of great protection upfront. Um, you know, things going to

289
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: even go back to my guy in Seattle. He just

290
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: hasn't had a lot of help on alphas a line either.

291
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: But he still has to stand in there and throw

292
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: the ball or buy time, get outside the pocket, use

293
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: your skill set to create create some time. Um. I

294
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: just think that Dak's just been off, and I mean

295
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: that's just three out. That's it. I mean, I mean,

296
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: that's that's it. That's I mean, it could rather that

297
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: be the answer than the punch drunk side of ye.

298
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: I mean, because I mean, is as much as we

299
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: want Dad to be playing the amazingly well and all that,

300
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: how how how do you think Heinek played? Oh he

301
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: was awful, he was trash? Yeah right. Heinek had three

302
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: less LEBR. His TBR rating was three points less than decks.

303
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: He had a zero passer rating until the second half.

304
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: I think that's that's bad. But I'm saying so as

305
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: bad as we think Heinek played, he literally was right

306
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: there neck and neck with Deck. When we start looking

307
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: at statistics right in that regard. So that's how we

308
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: have to You make me sick. Bro, you are the

309
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: one guy that takes statistics off the table. You know,

310
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: I know you guys, I know you, I know you guys.

311
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: Value you just how you go Rompy in my line,

312
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: I thought that it was look at the stats. I

313
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: was like, it was, I know you guys, related stats.

314
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: The touchdown saved him because because I mean the conversation

315
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: we were having. He got beat the hell in that

316
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: game too. They both did. They both got beat up

317
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: in that game. My thing is is that I think

318
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: what yesterday was, what was hard for me is all

319
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: of the DAK hate. Um, it was hard for me

320
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: to kind of understand where it's coming from. One of

321
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: the things that I would never confuse. I would never

322
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: confuse DAK with Aaron Rodgers. You know, different conversation, different quarterback.

323
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: I just think everything about Aaron Rodgers is that, But

324
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: I think there are some other When you talk about

325
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, that's the guy that I take. It's comparable

326
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: and where I see him going as far as you know,

327
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: the team that he played with, the kind of pressure

328
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: that he was under and now having the defense that

329
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: we think that he has right now backing him up

330
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: and so dan quating this situation and just and not

331
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: having an overglorified bus driver. But I think that Dak,

332
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: in all of our experience of seeing him ball out

333
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: and do these great things, it's really hard for me

334
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: to receive that now all of a sudden, he we

335
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: have don't. And again, Dak is a really good player.

336
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: Really good players going droughts, you know, I mean you hope, yeah, slump, droughts,

337
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. I mean, the reality

338
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: is he's not playing good. It doesn't it doesn't take

339
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: anything away. I'm not hating on Dad. I don't. I'm

340
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: sure there are there plenty of cowboys hates a lot

341
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: of people hate men. You can't prevent that. But the

342
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: reality is, over the last four to six game stretch,

343
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: he hasn't played well, and we don't know the exact reason.

344
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: We just see the result of whatever it is that's

345
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: causing him to not play well. We see him not

346
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: stepping up into those those pockets that that are present

347
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: right and delivering the ball like he has in the past.

348
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: We see him not throwing the ball as efficiently, as

349
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: effectively as he has in the past. Everything that you

350
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: can compare is always going to be it is always

351
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a relation to what we've seen him do previously.

352
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: And this is not Dak ball right now. And luckily, luckily,

353
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: the defense is playing lights out right now, which is

354
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: giving them an opportunity to be successful holistically as a team.

355
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: And what you know what makes this sorry, heck go ahead, no, no, no,

356
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: Well it makes this so confusing to me, is you

357
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: know they talk about, well, maybe he needs more time

358
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: on task with his receivers and that kind of thing.

359
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: He missed all training camp, like the last week, and

360
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: then he bawled out and they hung twenty nine on

361
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: the Bucks. So I don't think it's that, and I

362
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: don't I don't think you can say he's hurt. I

363
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: don't think you can say that. I haven't heard that.

364
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: He's not on the injury report. The league watches out

365
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: for that stuff. Anyway, there's that means there is nothing

366
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: that's keeping him limited to do anything in practice now.

367
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: Is he mindful of, Hey, this is a long season,

368
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't take this chance run coming off that

369
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: horrific injury last year and coming off the fact that

370
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: he's I don't know. Now he's about six weeks removed

371
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: from that Calf's train. Maybe, you know, maybe he's mindful

372
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: of that. That doesn't mean he's scared. He's trying to

373
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: get through this season and that maybe that's not why

374
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: he's running as much. I think that might be a

375
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: factor too. All of us just kind of speculation because

376
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: we don't don't we don't know exactly what. He just

377
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: doesn't like. You're right, he looks out of sync. It

378
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's got as much confidence back there.

379
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: And I just don't when people try to take the

380
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: responsibility off of players, whether it's Dak or anybody else. Right,

381
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: this is the highest level of competition in this sport,

382
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: the highest These are the best players in the world, right,

383
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: And yes, you're entitled to a bad game. You're you're

384
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: entitled to not being on top of your game. You

385
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: want to get out of that as fast as possible,

386
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: But you have to be able to identify the fact that,

387
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: Hank call a spade to spade, you're not doing well,

388
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: let's figure out how to fix it. And I feel

389
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: like with Dak and even some of the other players

390
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: in the league of that of that status. People like

391
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: to find excuses, People like to put their fears, say no, no, no, no,

392
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: it's not that it's this or you know all you know,

393
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: he hasn't had this protection, or he hasn't had the

394
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: receivers or you know. Even mister Jones last week called

395
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: him out and say, oh we always the receivers not

396
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: running arount. No, that is Dak's dad, and it's okay

397
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: to say, hey, dad, you need to figure it out

398
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: just like we just like people get on Zeke. People

399
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: got on Zeke last year with the fumbles. People are

400
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: a quicker point than I. He know he's fumbling it all.

401
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: Zeke's not Zeke no more like, why is it is

402
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: it that you can point out Zeke that he's not

403
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: on his game, But when it comes to Dak, we

404
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: make excuses now, and I don't want to, and I

405
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: don't think that I'm making excuse for Dak. I just

406
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: think that for the sample size that we've had for

407
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season, we've seen this run that he's

408
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: been on and the offense firing on our cylinders. We

409
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: see exactly how this thing works. When he has his

410
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: full compliment. Now we're noticing this musical chairs of sorts

411
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: at the offensive line position, and I think that has

412
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: a little bit more to do with it than we're

413
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: giving credit to. That's all I'm saying. And I asked,

414
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: and I say, punch drunk. And maybe that's not the

415
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: wrong word. When you get in touch too much, when

416
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: your timing isn't there, when you recognize it, I got

417
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: to get this ball out a little bit quicker than

418
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: I would have before because I don't have the time

419
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: or you don't trust the timing end game. But when

420
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: you but so I hear that, and I think there's

421
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: there is some truth to that. When you put him

422
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 1: in the conversation with the other quarterbacks that we consider

423
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: to be great in this league, do we utilize that

424
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: as an excuse or do those guys find a way?

425
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,479
Speaker 1: If Tom Brady is getting beat the hill, then we

426
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: can't expect for him to put Aaron Rodgers. I mean,

427
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: what about Patrick Mahomes and the super Patrick Mahomes. I mean, yeah,

428
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: that was one game, that's fair, That's what That's what

429
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like one carried over into the middle of

430
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: the season this year. Those guys had a five new

431
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: office lineman no, no no, no home five new offensive linement.

432
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: We're talking about we're talking about we're talking about we're

433
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: talking about five guys. We're talking about the most, the

434
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: most the position on this field, the group on this

435
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: field that needs to be the most InSync. Five guys

436
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: versus we're talking about one guy. How is that different

437
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: from what the Cowboys are doing one versus five? Yeah,

438
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: it's a huge difference. One we've had we've had one

439
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: guy out that We've had a tackle left guard one

440
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: at a time, though right one left guard, one tackle guard.

441
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: It's never been we've never had more than two officive

442
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: lineman missing at one time. Yeah, it's been music that

443
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: we want to make decamparison. That's when we're talking about

444
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: five dudes now, And I feel you and I guess

445
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: where I'm going with this. You had a whole training

446
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: camp with those guys when we were talking about we're

447
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: talking about Mahomes Mahomes. Your thing was, Man, he's Patrick Mahomes.

448
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: He gonna get back on track. Not not making two

449
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: of this comparing dak to Patrick Mahomes, but you had

450
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: faith in Patrick Mahomes based off of what you're seeing

451
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: him do in the past. That he could get back

452
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: on track. Do do you feel the same way about that.

453
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: I don't have the evidence to show. I do believe

454
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: that Dak's gonna get back on track, But I don't

455
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: have this this long standing resume of Dak going into

456
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: a slump and coming out of a slump. I don't have. Really,

457
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: it's the first time we've seen that. So yeah, I

458
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: have a question mark around and and I, but I

459
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: still believe that Dak is just in a slump. All

460
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks get there, all quarterbacks have him. It's just like golfers.

461
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: You're going to slump baseball players, right, I love baseball,

462
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: You're going to a slump. As a hitter, It's like,

463
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: oh man, he's he's tripping right now for this for

464
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 1: this three weeks. But when he see gets that one

465
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: hit bohm, he's out of it. There's nothing, you know,

466
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: to Rob's point, there's nothing that's pointing to evidence, evidence

467
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 1: wise it saying Dak's injured or Dak is unable to

468
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: do something. He's just not playing well. When you were

469
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: you ever in that position at Washington, and if you were,

470
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: what what was your approach to getting out of a slump?

471
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: If that's what we wanted to studying my butt off,

472
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: studying my butt off to be able to identify it.

473
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: I met with a quarterback last night, figure out what

474
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: you're doing wrong? What are you doing wrong? Is it

475
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: my drop? Am I getting lazy with my feet? Right?

476
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: It was? What's my what's my What are my feet

477
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: look like when I'm when I'm delivering the ball? Isn't

478
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: my elbow? Is my release point? Right? Am I shifting

479
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: my weight like there's so many intricate portion instead of

480
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: being a quarterback and delivering the ball with accuracy, Even

481
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: when you have a completion, you should still be you

482
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: should still be picking apart your your film. Am I

483
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: putting it on the right shoulder? Am I putting it low?

484
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: Watching that um had a great ball last night, Matthew

485
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: Stafford through a great ball to Cooper Cup lowing away? Right?

486
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean that was perfect. That's that's how you go

487
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: back and watch. That's the ball that you got to

488
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: have down there in the red down there on the

489
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: goal line. You have to put it right there if

490
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: you would put it anywhere else. As incompletion, So that's

491
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: even on your complete you need to be going back

492
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: and figuring out how can I be better? And I'm

493
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: not saying that Dak's not. We don't know what the

494
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: heck they're doing on the other side of the building,

495
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: but I do know that as a competitor, he is

496
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: probably picking apart his film right now trying to figure

497
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: out where is the missing link because he knows he's

498
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: not where he wants to be and where this team

499
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: needs him to be. I don't doubt that either, because yeah,

500
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: nobody works harder than that. I don't doubt it. And

501
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why I think Cowboys Nation,

502
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: much like how Heckmo was alluding to earlier, you can't

503
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: give up on Dak right now. You know he's going

504
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: to get back to some point playing the football, playing

505
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: that Dak ball that Isaiah was talking about earlier as well.

506
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: All right, taking our first break when we come back

507

555
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: about some more cowboys. How does Cowboys Nation feel right now? Positive? Negative?

556
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: Bob from Nashville is the first one up, Bob. How's

557
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: it going you're on talking cowboys? Good morning, gentlemen. Hey,

558
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: So you know love Dak. You know, as Isaiah said,

559
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: you go through these little times where you're up and down.

560
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: But a couple of things. My observation after watching some

561
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: of the rewatching a bunch of the games, I think

562
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: some teams are pre snapper in one coverage and then

563
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: just as the ball snap, they're changing coverages, which I

564
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: think is maybe confusing Dak. They're also playing two safeties back,

565
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: which taking away any aggressive throws, which requires Dak to

566
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: maybe throw the ball short. And I think the other

567
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: thing is Kellen Morneys. They maybe call some plays where

568
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: we get some receivers doing some crossing routes, get him

569
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: to our playmakers and let them make some plays that

570
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: will take some of the pressure off a Dack and

571
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: allow him to maybe get back into a rhythm. I

572
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: just wanted to see what your guys thoughts were on

573
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: those two things. Thanks, I have a great day. Thanks, Bob,

574
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. Yeah, great points, Bob, and I'm kind

575
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: of go down the line in terms of what I want.

576
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: I heard you say. In terms of the two high

577
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: state these his ability to throw the ball quickly as

578
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: of two weeks ago, Dak, I don't know where he

579
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: stands today. Dac was in the think top three in

580
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: the league in terms of completion procedage and short short

581
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: short yardist. You know he passes, so that shouldn't be

582
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: an issue. UM. In terms of what was the other part,

583
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: in terms of being able to get the ball in

584
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: the hands of his playmakers, I do agree that the

585
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: killer Morty's to find a way to run more screens.

586
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: I think he needs to go dive into the playbook

587
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: of the enemy and figure out exactly how he's getting

588
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: his guys the ball in their hands within five yards.

589
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: They do a great job of running a screen so

590
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: many different ways, UM, getting CD the ball, get cooped

591
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: the ball, to get these guys the ball in their hands,

592
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: and that will allow him to build his confidence. UM,

593
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: but you know, you know, to your point, you know, yeah,

594
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,239
Speaker 1: he's in, he's in, He's in a slump. But they

595
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: it's up until a lot of people. He has to

596
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: do a deep dive. Killer Moore has to figure out too, right,

597
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: and they have to be on one accord in terms of, Hey,

598
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: this is where you're at right now, and this is

599
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: how we're gonna help try to get you out this whole.

600
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: What do defenses do to slow down screens? What's the

601
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: best way to slow down a screen from a defensive

602
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: tack it? You gotta attack. It's being aggressive, right, You're

603
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: putting pressure up front, you making him get the ball

604
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: out of his hands. That's exactly what these teams that

605
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: have that Dak Prescott hasn't played well against the dune, right, Yeah,

606
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: And I think he makes a valid point talking about

607
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: the cover too. And that's the thing that a lot

608
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: of teams would not do versus Dubts because they fear

609
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: the running game so much, right, And so now the

610
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: teams are kind of like, oh, we don't have to

611
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: worry about Zeke, you know, and they're daring Dak to

612
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of beat them over the top. That's what Jack

613
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: del Riel did in this game. Something I'm not what

614
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna what you're not gonna do is beat us deep.

615
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: What we're gonna force you to do is try and

616
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: find out everything in the middle of the field. Couldn't

617
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: get that done, you know. And so Dalton shows, I think,

618
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 1: is really somebody that we got to put it. You know,

619
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 1: where is Dalton because they haven't seen him. Are you

620
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: saying that they're going too high safety because they're because

621
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: on excuse me, they're going too high safety, not only

622
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: because they don't respect our running game, but also you're

623
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: saying that they're daring Zeke to be more accurate with

624
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: the ball. They don't think that he's as accurate as

625
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: he once was. The yack. Yeah, I mean I think

626
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: they're not. They're saying that we're not going to let

627
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: you get those big plays. We're gonna take the big

628
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: play away. But by saying that, right, you're saying I'm

629
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: taking away a big play and I'm taking away your

630
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: And you said I'm not respecting your run. I'm saying

631
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: that I don't trust that you can pick me apart.

632
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: That's what I mean, That's what you're saying. Yeah, I know,

633
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm not interpreting that that way. If that is that's

634
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: just that's what. No, No, that's disrespectful. And if if

635
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: that's the case, then Dak has to find And maybe

636
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: that's why he's pressing because he's like, I can't believe

637
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: you you have the audacity to have two says never

638
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: experienced it and leaving the middle of the field wide open,

639
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: and that's where he got caught in the pick six.

640
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: This is the first time in his career and you

641
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: can probably back this up rub that he hasn't had

642
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: an efficient running game. Um, there's yeah, I mean probably

643
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: to this extent. You know, I think when they've think

644
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: last year when Zeke was banged up and they didn't

645
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: have Zach Martin for a stretch, it was it was

646
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: tough in there. But the decline they've had there is

647
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: is wow. And you guys are right, like the shell

648
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: covers that they played is a little bit different than

649
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: I think what we've seen recently because when they were

650
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: teams were doing that early in the season, they were

651
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: running them over in the run game. And I was

652
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: telling you guys in the break, I know it's it's

653
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: kind of a staff, it's flimsy, but there was a

654
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 1: four game stretch starting with the Chargers game, where they

655
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: were dominant in the run game one hundred and sixty

656
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: plus yards per game. Dak's passer rating in that stretch

657
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: was like one twenty average, one forty three against Philadelphia,

658
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: one thirty against I actually started with the Charger game. Okay,

659
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: so even going back at it's like eighty nine, eighty eight.

660
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah for passer rating, gets sixteen against the Giants, but

661
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: you get it, yeah, because the New England game, they

662
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 1: had one hundred and twenty yards, but they didn't run

663
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: it that well. They didn't run it that well. So

664
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: those those four games starting with the Chargers, he was very,

665
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: very efficient. The other games this season nine games, it's

666
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: like a seventy nine passer rating. He needs that balance.

667
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: I think every quarterback does. And again it Yeah, it

668
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: might sound like excuses, but I think that's what Jerry's

669
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,239
Speaker 1: talking about on the fan to day, and Hex kind

670
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: of looting it to it too. It's a I think

671
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: Jerry said, it's a multifaceted reason why it's got to work.

672
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: And I know Dak's making forty million a year, but

673
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: they've got to show up some other things. And on

674
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: offense to help him out as well. Yeah, and he's

675
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: got to play better too, and he's admitted that there.

676
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: It is obvious watching he's not playing as well as

677
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: he kibbles. That's what I love about him, though I do.

678
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: I respect the crap out of him for a standing

679
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: up and not making excuses. Everybody else is making excuses

680
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: for Deck Dack's not making excuses for dead. Yeah, he's

681
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: saying he's got to be better. Ye. Love it. Yeah,

682
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: great call from Bob. And by the way, Chris pointed

683
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: it out in my ears. I don't know if he

684
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: was in y'all's ears either, but Bob sounds strikingly similar

685
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: to Doug nust Meyer. Just go back and listen to

686
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: it if you get a chance, just like the raspy voice.

687
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 1: I love it, Bob from Nashville. Great job, all right. Now,

688
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: let's see if we can follow it up with a

689
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: little bit of the Land of Enchantment landing from New Mexico.

690
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: You're on Talking Cowboys. Hey, guys, what's it going so good?

691
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: I've been listening to Talking Cowboys in the two thousand

692
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: and six, way back in the day, so I love

693
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: the show. Love all the shows on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Um,

694
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: real quick though, a couple of points about the Dak situation. Um,

695
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: from what I see, it looks like he's overthinking things.

696
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: And I think it's you know, a while ago, Rob

697
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: said something about, I mean this is all speculation, right,

698
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: and then um and Isaiah said that, uh, that it

699
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: could be confidence. Um. I think I think it's a

700
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: confidence thing because of the offensive line. I think that

701
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: that because we had the musical chairs with the offensive line. Um,

702
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: it's gotten into his head a little bit. And and

703
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: we've heard Dak's stay in his pest conferences. You know,

704
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: he's he's thinking. He thinks about when to run and

705
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: when not to run. It looks like he's doing that

706
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: not just when the run and when not to run,

707
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: but when to throw the ball and when not to

708
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: throw the ball. Um. I mean Aaron Rodgers and those guys,

709
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: they know where to go with the ball before or

710
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: the ball or before the ball is snapped. So then guys,

711
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: that's why they're able to handle. The offensive line isn't

712
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: doing good. But I think since Dak has the confidence

713
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: been going on too, because he had so much shaky

714
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: offensive line play. Now he's he's classed in a little

715
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: bit and he's overthinking things. I mean that that that

716
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: interception that he threw on the Dalton Sultz pass. I

717
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: mean Dalton Schultz is open and he at first and

718
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: then he pump picked instead of throwing the ball. If

719
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: he would have threw the ball then and it would

720
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: have been completed. So that's what That's what I think

721
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: about the Dack situation. And the running game is a

722
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: big doctors. I mean, we need to get this running

723
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: running game fixed, and I don't know how we're going

724
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: to do it because the offensive line is in shambles

725
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: and the running back to her and I don't know

726
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: what we're going to do about the other. Oh, thank

727
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: you very much, Landing for the call, and thank you

728
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: for your support of all the shows here on Dallas

729
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot com. But what do you think about that?

730
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: Heck moll, Could it be in Dak's head or is

731
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: it just as simple as what he said toward the

732
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: end is it's just this offense is one dimensional at

733
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: the moment. And I look, I partially agree with with

734
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: some of that. I just feel as though some defenses

735
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: made adjustments. They know what you know, if you get

736
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: enough tape on a guy. It's like when the guy

737
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: comes in his first year, you have no idea what

738
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: and who he is as a quarterback. Second year, everybody

739
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: knows that the throws that he's comfortable with. And I

740
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 1: think defenses have done the same thing to Dak this season.

741
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: They know exactly where Kelly Moore is trying to set

742
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: him up to be successful early in games. And I

743
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: just go back to one drive in that Washington game

744
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: where I believe it started with Dak tripping over the

745
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: feet of the center and trying to hand the ball

746
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: off to Ezekiel Elliott. It was a hole that was massive.

747
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: They missed on that, But then he comes right back

748
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: and he throws and it was an interception. It just

749
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: seems like the rhythm of the offense, if that has

750
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: anything to do with it, just I just felt like

751
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: that was the one time that I watched the offense

752
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: where I was like, these guys are just out of

753
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 1: rhythm with one another. Yeah, and who knows if it's confidence.

754
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: I mean, he's about its confident guy you'll ever meet.

755
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: He's just not in sync. And that's what's showing on

756
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: the field. They're just not in sync. But to his point,

757
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: and I agree with Hack to his point. That last

758
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: throw he did, he had Scholtz open and he was

759
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: a tick late. So what's what's he's seeing, what's he processing?

760
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: Because I think that's been his biggest jump as a

761
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: quarterback has been his ability to just balls out. He

762
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: knows what he's where. He wants to get to the

763
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: ball with the ball. But if they could run the

764
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: ball better, they wouldn't have had to make that play

765
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: and they would have been able to ice the game.

766
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: That's that's been their calling card and they have not

767
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: been able to get back to it. And he's right,

768
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: we'll see if Tony Potter can get back in the

769
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: lineup this week. Zeke's banged up, he's fighting through it. Yeah,

770
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: offensive line, maybe they make a change somewhere at left guard.

771
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: They got to get something going in the run game.

772
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: Got to the reality is when you're not playing to

773
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: the level that you expect yourself to play, that you

774
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: know that you're cable of playing, and things have gone wrong. Right,

775
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: he's had what five interceptions in the last four games

776
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: or whatever the No. Six sorry or my math? Right?

777
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: Five five in the last four games. You start questioning,

778
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: you question you have a question mark over too over

779
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: your head, and you start second guessing and hesitating on

780
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: decisions that you would have instinctively made. That's the reality

781
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: when you're not confident in your play. Now. I'm not

782
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: saying that you're not confident in terms of your capabilities,

783
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: but capabilities and you're actual what actually shows up on

784
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: the field that day's two separate things. So being that

785
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: Dak has tried, I'm sure he's trying his best fifty

786
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: eight rating seventy nine one or six fifty seven, that's

787
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: the last four, I'm sure he's questioning some things that

788
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: he's doing, like what he's trying to figure it out.

789
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: And when you're trying to figure it out, you're going

790
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: to try to make sure that you were exact. You're

791
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna try to make sure that you were as precise

792
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: as possible to make sure that you're not making those

793
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: mistakes that you have made previously. So I think that's

794
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: probably where he's at right now. I don't think it's

795
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: a lack of confidence. I just think that he's trying

796
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: to be so exact to make sure that he doesn't

797
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: make mistakes that you actually end up making mistakes when

798
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: you do that, stat man. Stat Man, Yeah, that's when

799
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: I grow up. You know what I'm saying. Four touchdowns,

800
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: five interceptions over the last four games. That's not Dak ball.

801
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: That's not that ball. All right, Lance from Wyoming, Lance,

802
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: you're on talking Cowboys. What's up my man? Gentlemen, gentlemen,

803
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: how your dog? How you guys doing great? Look, I

804
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: listen to all the shows that comes on daily. I

805
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: want you guys to stop making excuses for Dak. That's

806
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: that's the problem. I'm sorry. I mean, when he demands

807
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: forty million dollars a year to be the quarterback for

808
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, we as fans expect him to perform

809
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: regardless what the problem is. You guys are using the

810
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: excuse that our offensive line is the problem. When he

811
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 1: was healthy, we had offensive mind problems, but he found

812
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: a way of getting around it and throwing the ball

813
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: very I won't say accric because he's never been an

814
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: a throwing quarterback, But you guys need to stop, including

815
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and the staff, y'all need to stop making

816
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: excuses for da. There's something wrong with that. There's something

817
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: mentally wrong with that. It ain't his it ain't the

818
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: physical thing. There's something wrong in his head. You don't

819
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: stand there and see a lineman come up on you.

820
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean a linebacker come up on you. Get in

821
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: line to the throw that you get throw, throw it

822
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: in the way and get it in something. Please, guys,

823
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: stop making excuses for that. That gets forty million dollars.

824
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: I don't give a thing if he got a running

825
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: he needs, he needs to get his mindset and the

826
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff needs to stop doing what they're doing.

827
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: They need to be the coaches. They need to take

828
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: the Zeke out the game, period because Zeke is killing

829
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: us too. But don't blame the offensive line because it's

830
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: all that reason why we're saying that as a nation, sir,

831
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: the reason why we're saying that as a nation, we're

832
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: playing that man forty million dollars. I don't care if

833
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: he got to run into a wall and do it

834
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: again for forty million dollars. Lance, thank you so much

835
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 1: for the call. Appreciate you as always and all your support.

836
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: And if there's anything that we stand for on this show,

837
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: it is saying it with your chest and he absolutely

838
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: did it. It was a chestysty call. Are we related? Guys,

839
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: stop making excuses. I like it. I did too. I

840
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean I I don't agree one hundred

841
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: percent with everything, but I mean I'm probably about it

842
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: any percentI with you right there. I'm not. I'm not

843
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: one two and I've been. My wife calls me unempathetic

844
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: on a lot of things. But one thing I do

845
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: is I look, I do a deep dive by myself.

846
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: If I suck at something, probably I don't have a

847
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: good showing. Right. We've done how many shows have we

848
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: done together, Kyle? We've done film room, Kyle tells me

849
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: film rooms, other sets that we're on. Hey, you know

850
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: you can do this a little better. Thank you, Thanks

851
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: for telling me. Thanks for telling me. Because I need

852
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: to be better. I want to be the best that

853
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:46,959
Speaker 1: I can be. I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna

854
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: watch it. I'm gonna pick it apart. I'm gonna get

855
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: coaching and I'm gonna figure out how I could come

856
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: back and re address that problem so that we can

857
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: be better. I could be better individually, which helps us

858
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: all be better collectively as as a team. I don't

859
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: not wanting to make excuses. I am not so again.

860
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: I do agree some of the decision. It's not even

861
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: just a delivery, it's some of the decisions, you know,

862
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: some of the decisions. And it's not just Dak. I

863
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: know we're picking on Dak because he's the he's the

864
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: QB one, but there's a lot of pressure that comes

865
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: with that, and there's a big talking about But there

866
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 1: there are a lot to his point, there are guys

867
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: who just say, there's roster bubble guys if they make

868
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: one mistake, If they make one mistake, you're out of here.

869
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: You're out of here. There is no excuses made for you, right,

870
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: You don't get an excuse because guess what, you don't

871
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: get that leverage. You don't have that, you don't have

872
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: that financial leverage to make a mistake. But as soon

873
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: as guys get big boy paychecks, right, Dak or anybody

874
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: else in this league, there's grace given. There's a lot

875
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: of grace given instead of getting on them the same way,

876
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of grace given with I e excuses

877
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: and I'm with you on every in that regard. Anybody,

878
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: Dak Zeke, I don't care who it is on this roster, right,

879
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: everybody should be getting coached to the same level, wouldn't

880
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: have the same expectations, meaning that sometimes you got you

881
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: gotta dig out, you know, you get on somebody's head.

882
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that. I don't know if they

883
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 1: do or not, but I'm just saying I said yesterday

884
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: that there's not as many You can't use the same

885
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: excuse as to use a few weeks ago. They got

886
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: he's got his receivers back. All that, I will say

887
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: with the caller, I agree with a lot of what

888
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: he said. It's a great call. We're not saying the

889
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: offensive line is the problem. It's a problem, yes, it's

890
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: they're not playing as well as they need to play.

891
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 1: This is a team game, this is the ultimate team game.

892
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: He can't do it all by himself. He's got to

893
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 1: be better, obviously, but there's other factors that are making

894
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: his job probably more difficult than they need to be,

895
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 1: and he's not playing well on top of it. Well,

896
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: you know, that's my quarterback, and I'm a defendant, and um,

897
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like they're we're not making excuses

898
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: for Dak. We've seen Dak ball and so I'm not

899
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: gonna take anybody's word as saying, oh, he's broken and

900
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have given him that money. I understand that

901
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: that comes with a territory. Once you get to check,

902
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: everybody now has the opportunity to say what you are

903
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: and what you never were. But he's not an average

904
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: quarterback in this league. And for everybody we won Sunday,

905
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: we won. Yeah, we want We're not a fool, you

906
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: understand it. So there are teams out there that have

907
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: marginal quarterbacks with good defenses that hope to ride that

908
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: momentum into the super Bowl. We ain't one of them

909
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: because we got a guy that we have enough evidence

910
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 1: to show that this man is a gamer and he's

911
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: a baller. And I want to talk more on that

912
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: when we come back after the break, because that's a

913
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: great point, but it might be about the expectations that

914
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: are on the table. Maybe they're too high. When we

915

957
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: on a Talking Tuesday show. I've got a quick story there, sir,

958
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: so I love my assay. They are the best glasses

959
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: I've ever had, and I take care of these glasses

960
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: more so than any other paragraph glasses I've ever had

961
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: in my life. The other day, I was getting down

962
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: on my truck and I just accidentally, like just kind

963
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: of turned the right away and they fell off onto

964
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 1: the concrete and they landed straight on the lenses, straight

965
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: on the on the concrete. And I was like, you

966
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding. Oh yeah, yeah, it was a little

967
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: bit more than you gotta be kidding. I looked down

968
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: and I pick it up. Just expect. It's almost like

969
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: when you drop your phone, you pick it up and

970
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: you think it's gonna get shattered. I expected to have

971
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: a big scratch right over the front of my glasses. Perfect,

972
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: not even like they have been touched, you know, you know,

973
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: very aggressive because because it's les do more. Well there

974
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: you go. So yeah, that's my quick Essler story. So

975
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: that's not just because they're a great sponsor of ours

976
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: when we love s Lord. That is a real life,

977
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: great experience. So go check them out. All right, we're

978
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: wrapping things up. We've had a great conversation with Dak

979
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: and about Dak and what's going on over the last

980
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: month or so of the season. He did win the game. Heck,

981
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: ma Harrison, there's a game this week. There is a

982
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: game this week, New York Giants on the docket. I

983
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: think the biggest frustration this will be the final kind

984
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 1: of talking point that we have. I think the biggest

985
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: frustration for Cowboys fans right now isn't the fact that

986
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: you're nine and four and you're winning too the vision.

987
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: None of that should matter at the moment because you

988
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: feel good about where this team is. I think the

989
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: frustration is where you want this team to go. Oh.

990
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: I think it's where you want the expectations to be.

991
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: Because in the past, the expectation is that if you

992
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: have a middle of the road defense and the offense

993
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: is what they're expected to be, you feel really good

994
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: about your chances come playoff time. That's not the case.

995
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: Right now. The defense is exceptional, the defense is continuing

996
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: to peak, and now the offense is lagging. But you

997
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: feel like there's opportunity there. So do you agree disagree?

998
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: Is it more about the expectation of where this team

999
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: needs to go as opposed to the nine and four

1000
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,479
Speaker 1: record of where they're at right now? You know, being

1001
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: he's the only guy that's ever received the Lombardi Trophy.

1002
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 1: I think he knows that the Lombard he always gets

1003
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: delivered in February. It never gets delivered in December. So

1004
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: we still have everything to play for and everything is

1005
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: in front of us. And so you talk about doing

1006
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: shows with Kyle and Kyle critiquing what you do and

1007
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: you having to come back and be better. Everybody knows

1008
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: that Dad can come back and be better. He's had

1009
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 1: to overachieve his whole career, from being picked in the

1010
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: fourth round to now being the Crown Prince as a

1011
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. He will be better. What

1012
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: do you think? I think you're right. I think we're

1013
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: watching the game last night, Cardinals, Rams, Rams rise up

1014
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: and win that game. Who this has a chance to

1015
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: be the most stack NFC playoffs I've seen since the nineties,

1016
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. So yeah, I think that's a huge

1017
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: viewpoint from the fan base of not only like we've

1018
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 1: seen what they can do, what they're capable of. Let's

1019
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: get back to that what it's going to take to

1020
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: get through the NFC playoffs, because there is it's limitless

1021
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: the number of really good teams that they could run

1022
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: into in January, so they have to get better they

1023
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 1: do now. Look Kyler Murray through two picks last night. Hello,

1024
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: hasn't been the same quarterback as good? Still good, not

1025
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: as great as before the injury. This is what happens.

1026
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 1: Team teams make adjustments. They've got a month to figure

1027
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: it out and get their things righted before playoff time

1028
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 1: because they're inching closer and closer to clinch in the division.

1029
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: Touche touch. That's all you need to talk about, all right,

1030
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't for us here on Talking Cowboys, Thanks to

1031
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: all of our fan callers and Cowboys Nation for chiming in.

1032
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we preview the Giants offense versus the Cowboys defense.

1033
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: How does that turn out for the Cowboys? I think

1034
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: it looks pretty good for the Plazuka micampartrions for Chris Beef,

1035
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: Rob phillipsis as stand back. Heck my Harrison, I'm Kyle
