<v Speaker 1>episode number twenty nine. Welcome to the latest edition of

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the Break Clock from the s WBC Mortgage Studios at

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the Star and it's a happy Tuesday here at the Start.

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys get a big win last night, division win. They

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>win forty one to twenty one over the hated Philadelphia Eagles,

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and uh, we just in there. Yeah, you know fans.

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Fans are part of that. Fans hate the Eagles, like

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>so it's it's good, it's perfect and uh and it

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>was a game that that I think we all I

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think there are really a lot of surprises from

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that game because I think all of us picked them

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>last week and I think we all picked them to

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>win handily and they did. I don't know if we

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>picked them win that handily, but we certainly thought this

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>would be a lot side of game because I think

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys are just a better team. But let's start

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>where we usually start the day after a game, and

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I'd like for you guys to give me, uh, just

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of your big picture takeaway from that game. Let's

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>start with you, Dave, LF, M F and G. How

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 1>about that. That's my big takeaway. That's how I feel. Uh,

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>we're going in this morning. That was right, That was

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I said this. I said this on the radio a

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit ago. It wasn't It wasn't as clean as

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>it could have been. It wasn't a perfect game. There

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>are no perfect games. But that Mike McCarthy's going to

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>frame that in his office as like, this is the

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>way that I want this team to win games. It

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>was every It was all the hallmarks of what this

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>team is capable of, in my opinion. An explosive offense

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>with an absurd amount of ways to beat you, a

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>ground game that can absolutely punish you and wear you down,

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>a passing game that has six legitimate options that can

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>hurt you. And that's without Michael Gallup even being healthy

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>enough to be part of it. A quarterback who is

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>my god, Dak Prescott, is just in such command of

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>this offense. The confidence it just like radiates off the

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>field and all of that gives you a lead and

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>allows your defense to be opportunistic and make plays and

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>do things like pick off Jalen Hurts for a touchdown.

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a formula that we've seen work here time and

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>time again, but maybe even more explosively because of the

0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>amount of talent that they have on offense, and was

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>just a thorough beat down. It was fun, nick Um.

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I thought, you know, you said there weren't

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of surprises. I was surprised in the way

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>that this offensive line um flipped the script, and not

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>always in a in a great way, but they ran.

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>They ran the ball down their throat. They really couldn't

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>pass block very well, but they could run it and

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>they got into the red zone and ran it in.

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was impressive. I mean, usually this offensive line,

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the way it's been built, it's been a little bit

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>more I wouldn't say finesse line, but they were a

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>little more athletic and don't have as much problems with

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the passing. But they kind of did last night, but

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>they were able to just kind of run it, and

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>that set the tone for the entire game. That one

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>driver they had a first and twenty they overcame. They

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>had a first at nineteen, overcame that and still scored

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown. I mean, I just thought, like Dave said,

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought, Dak is just masterful. I mean, his stat

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>line is amazing. I mean that that's that's it. That's

0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>what you want right there. It's not a three hundred

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>yard game to thirty six because they're winning and they're

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>winning and they could run it and the running backs

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>have one hundred and fifty yards and he's tell us

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>three touchdowns. It takes whatever. Not worried if Cooper's stats

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>are big, not worried about seeding. Lamp just gonna take

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>what they give him, yep, and not just take it aggressively,

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>take it what they give him. And I'd love that

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>about this team right now, because if you want to

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>take away the wide receivers, then guess what. The tight

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>ends will kill you if you want to. By the way,

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>if you want to look at this team, even from

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>the standpoint of let's say, for example, God forbid, running

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>back goes down, You got another one. Tight end goes down,

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You got another one. You've already lost the receiver. You

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.280
<v Speaker 1>got others right there are When you look at this

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.279
<v Speaker 1>team the way it's constructed offensively, it's not just will

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>aggressively take what you give us. We also got backup,

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and we got backups on backups. So it's like they

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>have a They have built an offense that really outside

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>of the quarterback, and that's the big gap. Outside of

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback. They can sustain a lot of different hits

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 1>and still be able to find a way to move

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.040
<v Speaker 1>the ball. And that's what you love the most, what

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I love the most about this team. This offense is

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>in amiba or water. You know, it takes the it

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 1>puts on the shape of the vessel that it's in.

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 1>It's way too deep for how a little sleep I

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>got last name, I don't know. The frustly said b

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>water and the Cowboys are water. I mean, like that's

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>my point. They can kill you. They'll run for two

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 1>hundred yards if you want them to, or they'll murder.

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Dak can throw for four hundred if you

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we've seen him do it. And don't come

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>at me. That like, oh, that's not a winning strategy

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>that game, they had the lead with the minute to play.

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not like they were coming back in

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>garbage time. Like people like to criticize DAK for. They

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>can win whatever way you want to present. And it's

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>fun to think teams are gonna switch up. They're gonna

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>see this and they're gonna they're gonna switch up and

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.840
<v Speaker 1>try to find new ways to combat this, and Kellen

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Moore is gonna say, cool, well we're this this week.

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Have fun and it's just it's fun to watch. Speaking

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>of Kellen Moore, man every time every game that he

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.279
<v Speaker 1>calls this year, I've walked away from the game being like, man,

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>he is as as Bucky always says, he's in his bag,

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>like he's coming up with the right calls at the

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 1>right time, and some of them, by the way, don't work.

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>There were moments last night, the end around down in

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 1>in in goal to ghost situation. There are a lot

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>of people can question that I don't because I look

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>at that and I'm like, hey, I like his creativity.

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Not everything he's gonna call it's gonna work, but I

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.159
<v Speaker 1>like the fact that he's just trying different things, and

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>he has a method to what he's doing and I

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 1>think most of the time it's working. It's a joy

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>to watch through three weeks. Yeah, I mean, you're right

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 1>that down there. They they kind of they messed that

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.039
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit. Um. What I don't understand is

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>that you know they love having McGovern in there as

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>as a big fullback. Um, Chris, he wasn't in there

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>on those on that play on that fourth and fourth

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and one, and but you wanted him to just destroy

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>the quarterbacks back. So I don't know that's that's a

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.600
<v Speaker 1>little weird, but hey whatever. Yeah, yeah, he said just

0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>run him at that. I'm like, no, don't run him

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>at deck. Just hit back in the back and through

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>he worked for Reggie Bush. Yeah, it's true. Score young

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>quarterback that hadn't had some hadn't had a big injury.

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, don't hurt my quarterback. Why can't we get

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>this guy cam over the goal line? Well, they did

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>have it have an angle. They did have an angle

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>that was high if you remember the high, but it

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't and it was it wasn't right on it. If

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>it would have been right on, then you could actually

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 1>see it. No, this is this ball would have been

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 1>still been covered. Like that's the problem with that whole thing.

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't see whether they couldn't really see. Y'all are

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>on the right track, but you're not going far enough

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty one. Why don't why don't both noses

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>of the football have a chip in it? Look and

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you can say, let's consult the eagle eye, just like

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Tennis has been doing since I was like five. Yeah,

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 1>they're like, oh, yeah, it went like yep, there it

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>is little graphics like a red light. I'm not absolutely

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 1>with you. I'm absolutely as a matter of fact, you

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about technology. Between that and just having

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a sideline where they just track with a laser where

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the ball is and where it needs to go for

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the first down, there is no question of whether you

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>crossed the plane for a first down our goal line,

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Like all this stuff is very easily doable. Technology is

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the most profitable American sports league. And they're like, these

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>two pudgy dudes with chains are gonna mark the progress

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>of the ball just to emphasize, as they typically all, Yeah,

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>to emphasize that they're not at the top of their

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>game when no offense to those guys. I could stand

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>to spend more time in the gym too, But that's

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>just it's ridiculous. They're like, well, that guy's butt got

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>in the way, so I guess we don't know if

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 1>DA's like, are you kidding me? Stops. It is always

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>weird to me, Like it never matters until the end

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>of the game, but it is weird. Like when the

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>guy just goes down and the guy comes running from

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the sideline and just gets the ball and cleans it

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 1>off and then puts it down. I'm like, this isn't right.

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 1>The one that gets me is the punt that goes

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 1>out of bounds and the guy's back here and he's

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>just running, like you have no freaking clue where that

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>ball When they're just gonna run to you get tired

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and you say twenty eight yard line unbelievable. I mean,

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>did not wind up mattering, but I that's that is

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>as incensed as I have ever been, probably since the

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:13.320
<v Speaker 1>des catch. I just really yeah, yeah, because okay, it

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>was ridiculous and talk about I mean, all the things

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>that happened last night. Yeah, d just decides to show

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.319
<v Speaker 1>up at that rib. Mike McCarthy, that's probably the best

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>part of it. I wish we had video of that.

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 1>That would have been so great. I wasn't I actually

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 1>wasn't there. I was in the overflow room talking to

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Parsons and Zach, but Rob was there. Yeah. DA's just

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>as if, yeah, as if that wasn't fun enough, Dad's

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Bryant sticks his head in and he's just like, hey.

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>During Mike's prescott, Mike, I caught that ball in Green Bay.

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>You know that's also He's wandering around the tunnels, just

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 1>dapping everybody up, just like a family reunion. And he's

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>wearing an eighty eight jersey and I was like, does

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>you're not really wearing your own jersey, are you? Nope?

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 1>It was the Ceedee Lamb jersey. Just showing love for

0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.200
<v Speaker 1>the young guy. Ah, I love that guy. Yeah. Was

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>he was awesome, Like he was so excited and he

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 1>could not wait. He was waiting like like a little

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>kid on Christmas. He could not wait for Jerry Jones

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>to come out of the locker rooms. We could talk

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>to Jerry, and you know, of course Jerry was in

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>that mood. We're just you know, so excited and everybody

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.320
<v Speaker 1>and you know what I thought was cool too. I

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>know we're going on to Tanni, but I thought it

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 1>was it was neat he was down there, and you know,

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>we remember Dez's career in different ways, a lot of

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 1>different things happening. But when you see the practice squad guys,

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the Jaquan Hardis and guys that are running off the

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 1>field and all that, and they see and that, they

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>do a triple take like that's right, and it's like

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>heydes and then they just stopped because it's this is

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 1>our generation. They're like, can I get a picture? He

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>took more pictures with guys that he doesn't that never

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>played with and all that. He's days, you know, and

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 1>players love him and fans love him and stuff like that.

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 1>So I thought that was cool, you know, the cherry

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>on top of a very nice Sunday. Yeah, I mean

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>it was good. It was It was a lot of

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys royalty, obviously because of what was happening at halftime,

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>but that that was the part that made me a

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>little nervous. If there was ever anything that made me

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 1>nervous about that game, Nick, you and I've experienced this

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot games where they're doing celebrations, they don't always

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 1>end up to work out too well for the Cowboys,

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and so I was a little bit like, man, I

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 1>every time of celebration, I'm a little bit anxious, but

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 1>it mant it by even by halftime once they get

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 1>to that one time, well it was bad though. It

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.840
<v Speaker 1>was really bad. No, I'm talking about Baltimore. They're closing

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the stadium game. Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, some time about Watchington.

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 1>That was horrible. That was a horrible night as they

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>were closing Texas Stadium. But no, I mean, I mean

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 1>it just it was just like, even by halftime, you

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>already got the sense, oh, Dallas is going to run

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>away with this game. Of course, Dave, you and I

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.839
<v Speaker 1>were kind of going back and forth like are they

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>really maybe they will. It's twenty seven. We weren't going

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>back and forth. You just you ride the emotion of

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>whatever's happening in a game. And I'm just like, haven't

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>you been doing this for twenty years? Like don't you

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>just just pull back, just pull back and take the

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>whole whole thing in. And what I told you was

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the two teams I wrote route the most for Dallas

0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and the Longhorns. They have put me through a lot.

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I get it a lot, and so I got PTSD.

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't trust anything anything that creeps up, it looks

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.440
<v Speaker 1>a little funny. I'm like, well, WHOA, what's going on here? Derek?

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.959
<v Speaker 1>Just to give y'all some content. Like before halftime, Derek

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:20.839
<v Speaker 1>was like, man, you should start writing your story. You

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 1>can get out of here early tonight. And then like

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.959
<v Speaker 1>one play went against the Cowboys and Derek's like, oh

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.719
<v Speaker 1>my god, it's happening again. I was like, dude, how

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>do you live like this? Like just don't know. So anyway,

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 1>it's bad. All right, let's jump into the game. I

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted to go through some of the storylines that we

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 1>talked about going into the game and see how they

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.320
<v Speaker 1>turned out for the Cowboys. One of the things we

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 1>talked about last week was Philadelphia. Philadelphia was eighteenth and

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 1>rushing defense. They were allowing one hundred and twenty yards

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>per game. It's signaled that again Dallas, coming off a

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>game with they had one hundred and ninety eight yards

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>on the ground against the Chargers, that this may be

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>a game where they would rely on the run again

0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>as a team. They had one hundred and sixty yards

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>rushing on forty one carry Zeke was seventeen for ninety

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>five yards a five point six average, followed that up

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.439
<v Speaker 1>with eleven for sixty with a five point five average.

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 1>What were your thoughts on the Dallas rushing attack last night.

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll be honest, I was impressed. I thought they'd be

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>able to run the ball, but I thought they were dominant.

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the stat sheet says they only ran for

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.720
<v Speaker 1>three point nine to carry, but Lamb's end around and

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>some dack scrambles are thrown in. I mean, if you

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.079
<v Speaker 1>take the two running the running backs were averaging almost

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>six yards a carry. I thought that was really impressive.

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I know Philly doesn't have great linebackers, but Hargrave Cox,

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, they that speaks for itself, and they just

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.199
<v Speaker 1>took it to him. I mean they ran the ball

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty five times in the first half. And I wrote

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 1>about this last night. It was it was vintage Zeke

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 1>in the sense of just beating somebody down until they

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>don't want it anymore. In the fourth quarter, I thought

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly what was happening, yep. I mean I thought

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.959
<v Speaker 1>he ran as well as we've seen in a while

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and just got some some tough yards and finished off

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 1>some runs and five yards, I mean as long as

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 1>was a thirteen yard. There was a couple in there

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>that he just that one I remember down by the

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.320
<v Speaker 1>goal line where he just basically was like, well, I'm

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 1>just gonna run at you and just run you over.

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.720
<v Speaker 1>And he's getting another three four, and he really pushed

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.079
<v Speaker 1>the pile his way. And that's something I've been critical

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 1>on with this offensive line, is you're gonna have to

0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>push their way back in. And I really I thought

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>that having first and night, first and ten. You know

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 1>how I am by first and goal at the ten

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and a nine, I mean it's like a death sentence. Well,

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>first and goal from the nineteen, I mean, just zerline,

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>just get out there, I mean, you know, and they

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 1>get six yards the Cooper, a ten yard run by Zeke,

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>and then on third and three just run it in.

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was as impressive because that that really

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>changed the game. Instead of it being seventeen seven, it's

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty to seven because they missed the extra point. You know,

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>kickers have to mess up things. But it is funny though,

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 1>how it's that you talk about riding the wave. I mean,

0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>he missed an extra point and it's like what's wrong

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>with this guy? I mean the guy that drilled the

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 1>fifty six yards to beat the Chargers. Or It's funny though,

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.440
<v Speaker 1>because back and forth, I can't get out of the habit,

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 1>even knowing that Zerlines had his struggles, Like they score

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the touchdown and I immediately I'm like, Okay, what was

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>that scoring drive? What did they do? Who did this?

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Who did that? And you're putting it in context and

0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 1>you look up and you're like, god, they missed? What

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the And for so many years with Dan Bailey you

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 1>could get away with that, and so I have to

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 1>like train myself like, Nope, you gotta watch the extra

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>point too. Yeah, you don't know what's gonna happen. I

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>was gonna save this. But since we're already talking about it,

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 1>do you get a little bit concerned? Though? I know

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you say, yeah, he drilled that fifty six yard to

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 1>win that game for you last week. Not a lot

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 1>of kickers in the league can do that. But the

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>number of missus d he's head and you're talking about

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 1>some extra points on top of that. You started to me,

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 1>at least I start to get a little bit concerned

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 1>about consistency because you want to be able to just

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 1>count on your kickers in certain situations is something we

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 1>used to talk about all the time when they were

0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 1>having more, you know, kind of turnover at the kicker position.

0:15:59.920 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>You prefer the guy that can make really big kicks,

0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 1>really long kicks, or do you prefer the guy that

0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>forty and in extra points even forty five in in

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 1>he's money, He's gonna make it every single time. And

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I kind of just like the consistency that does bother

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>me a little bit. What about y'all? Yeah, it should, no,

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, nobody should feel great about it. And I

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 1>just think the reality is there's only kind of like

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.600
<v Speaker 1>with quarterbacks, Like how many teams in the league just

0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 1>have a kicker where they're like, we feel great about

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 1>this all the time every time. It's just cowboys were

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 1>spoiled to have it with Dan for as long as

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>they did, and they don't have it right now. I don't.

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't have an answer to it yet. I'm not

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 1>ready to fire him. Yeah yeah, and I'm a better

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>options I personally. What I just need you to be

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>able to hit from forty to fifty, honestly, because that's

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 1>when you're getting down close in the red zone or

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>near the red zone and the drive stalls, and that's

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.120
<v Speaker 1>not an easy field goal, but one that you should make.

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.440
<v Speaker 1>That's what I care about. Points you should care about.

0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I care about all of them at the

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 1>end of the day. But if you can reliably hit

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 1>those mid range kicks, I think that that's more likely

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.159
<v Speaker 1>to win you and lose you games, understanding that you

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.879
<v Speaker 1>don't want to miss. This is not Brett Maher situation

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 1>where the guy, you know, he's hitting sixty yards and

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you don't know if he could kick anything else. Um.

0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.440
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I mean, is that that's not the second

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>miss it's the first miscester point. But the one in

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Tampa was I think shorter than that. Um No, then

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 1>he missed it. Yeah, he has one two and he's

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 1>missed three basically inside of thirty five yards. Um, that's

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that's concerned. That's concerning in three games. It is, Um,

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 1>there's not. I mean the guys out there on the

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.640
<v Speaker 1>street are on the street because they've missed some too.

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.159
<v Speaker 1>So it's all about you know, who's the guy they

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 1>brought in two years ago? I mean Kai four Bath.

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>They brought in Kai four Bath. I think he was

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty and twenty I mean extra points, field goals. But

0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>he that was a good stretch because he's had bad stretches.

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 1>That leads you to the streets, and that's that's what happened.

0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.600
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, I I trust him more than I don't.

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.159
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's you know, it's it's shaky. We're just

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna circle it and keep an eye on it.

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know what else you can do about

0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 1>it other than say it's concerning. Probably not so concerning

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.879
<v Speaker 1>that you need to make a roster move, but hopefully

0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:18.120
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't bite you in a worse way if you're gonna, yeah,

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 1>let's have that happened in twenty point. When I mean

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 1>not not nail biters. I mean you're gonna bring you know,

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Hira lahu or whatever. I'm sorry, I don't know that.

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, do you think that would make anyone

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 1>feel good? And the tough thing about kickers is it's

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if it's and I don't know this.

0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 1>You guys may know this. I don't know that. It's

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>a situation where okay, okay, kicker, we're gonna work on

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.200
<v Speaker 1>this and we're gonna get you more reliable, Like at

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 1>this stage of his career, he knows what he's supposed

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to do. He does it every single day. It's just

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason, got a little bit too much of

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:51.720
<v Speaker 1>it this way, or I got too high on my

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.280
<v Speaker 1>whatever it was, Like, I don't know that that you

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.880
<v Speaker 1>can work that out. It's only a mental thing at

0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 1>this point of your kicker having to find that mental consistency,

0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and so I don't even know how you make him better.

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 1>It's very similar to Zeke's fumbling issues last year. Like

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 1>you think Ezekiel Elliott doesn't know the proper way to

0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.720
<v Speaker 1>carry a football, like ass happens. I mean, you gotta

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.480
<v Speaker 1>fix it, but I don't. There's not some cure all

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.119
<v Speaker 1>of like like Greg's airline knows how to kick an

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:20.720
<v Speaker 1>extra point, you just gotta do it, like I don't.

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:22.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what else to say. And that's the

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 1>part that's worth something to me. I guess is that

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how they fix this other than Greg

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>just getting it together right, and that's you can do.

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.679
<v Speaker 1>You're relying a lot on him getting it together. And

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>by the way, if you're gonna have designs on doing

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the things that we think Dallas has the capabilities of doing.

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:38.640
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna be playing some really good games, and those

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 1>extra points are gonna matter. Those field goals that are

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.000
<v Speaker 1>thirty something yards that you just count on, they're gonna matter.

0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 1>So I think they gotta they gotta figure out a

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 1>way to get him to a point where he's able

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:50.719
<v Speaker 1>to do that more consistently. All Right, it's like our

0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.000
<v Speaker 1>first break when we come back. I did have a

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.159
<v Speaker 1>couple more questions about the running game, and particularly the

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.640
<v Speaker 1>split split on carries. We saw Zeke get a lot

0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:00.680
<v Speaker 1>more yesterday in the way of touch. I want to

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 1>ask you, guys, if that's going to be something that

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.359
<v Speaker 1>we should probably expect more of this kind of split

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 1>than what we saw maybe in the game against the Charges.

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.160

<v Speaker 1>Welcome back. It is the second segment of the break

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Life from the s WBC Mortgage Studios. At the Star,

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.879
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about the Cowboys big win over Philadelphia forty

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:39.280
<v Speaker 1>one to twenty one. Cowboys moved to the lead of

0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:41.679
<v Speaker 1>the NFC East in this early part of the season.

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Three games in they are two and one, the other

0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia and Washington are both one and two, and Giants

0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 1>pulling up the rear a O and three. It's over

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and quite frankly, I'm not even sure that the Giants

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:56.439
<v Speaker 1>haven't played the best of those three teams if you

0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 1>look at all their games, But they're sitting at oh

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and three. The other two teams are at one in too,

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:02.919
<v Speaker 1>and so you know, I don't know about that. The

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Giants look like trash. Bossington certainly doesn't look great, So

0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I mean, I just that this division,

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I think is obviously right there for the Cowboys to

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 1>take it. I don't see really anybody posing much of

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:18.480
<v Speaker 1>a threat from what we've seen so far, but well,

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>we'll see. And injuries are still a part of games.

0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 1>That's always the part of the wild card with the NFL, right, Yeah,

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 1>And that's what's kind of interesting about this team is

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 1>that you know, you're you're hoping, you know, this team

0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:31.240
<v Speaker 1>stays healthy, but they're not really when you think about it.

0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:34.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you got DeMarcus Lawrence, your best pass rusher

0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:38.560
<v Speaker 1>and best defensive end. That's out. Michael Gallup's out. I mean,

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Leo Collins is out right now. And you know, I

0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 1>just I don't know the other than d law because

0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:49.359
<v Speaker 1>I think you could definitely, you know, have him help.

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:52.879
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, I'm not saying that Cedric Wilson is

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.359
<v Speaker 1>just as good. But like in a pick your poison

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 1>type offense, there's gonna be games where Michael Gallop goes

0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:00.639
<v Speaker 1>to for seventeen and has you don't need the Gallot

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.160
<v Speaker 1>to be successful. As the point, you can be successful

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 1>without Michael Gallop. I mean I think you could. I

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.240
<v Speaker 1>don't want to put this to the test, but you

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:12.359
<v Speaker 1>could probably be successful without any one of those three.

0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:14.440
<v Speaker 1>As long as you have two of the three, I

0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:17.400
<v Speaker 1>think you're okay. Actually, I will take it one step further,

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 1>And what I'm going to say from now on on

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:20.879
<v Speaker 1>our show is I don't even want to say. If

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:24.360
<v Speaker 1>they stay healthy, if Dak stays healthy, yes, they can

0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:27.080
<v Speaker 1>do pretty much what they're doing right now. They have

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 1>they have depth in the right places, and he is

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:32.680
<v Speaker 1>the trigger man that makes everything go. The defense feeds

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:35.680
<v Speaker 1>off this offense. The offense feeds off Dad. So if

0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:38.119
<v Speaker 1>Dak is there, I think the sky's the limit for

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:42.240
<v Speaker 1>this team. And also, to Nick's point, as much as

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:46.800
<v Speaker 1>last year sucked, how much did it help to get

0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 1>some seasoning for those guys who need I mean, is

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Terrence Steele look as good as he looks without just

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:56.639
<v Speaker 1>getting thrown into the flat fire last year? Guys along

0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:59.119
<v Speaker 1>the defensive front. I know Dorn's Armstrong didn't play in

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:02.680
<v Speaker 1>this game, but he seems like he's taken a step forward. Uh.

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Cedric Wilson got opportunities last year for similar reasons. Uh,

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I think the best. We don't have any other choice.

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:14.160
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, are we twenty five minutes into the show

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:16.920
<v Speaker 1>without bringing up Trayvon? Well, We're gonna get to that

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:18.639
<v Speaker 1>because I got a whole segment we gotta do on

0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the defense, and I think it is one of the

0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 1>most fascinating turnarounds that I've witnessed with the Cowboys in

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:28.199
<v Speaker 1>a one year span with young players. Dalton Schultz being

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:32.480
<v Speaker 1>another one. I mean he is he is a badassah

0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>And like like a year ago, at this time, we

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.679
<v Speaker 1>were like this guy worth a crap. We were like,

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 1>is he gonna make it out of training camp, like, yeah,

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:43.880
<v Speaker 1>he's he that might be the most even maybe more

0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:46.880
<v Speaker 1>impressive than Terrence Steele. Uh. And we said all through

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 1>training camp, I was like, it's gonna be a committee.

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:52.359
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna do this and do that. And Blake Jarwin

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:54.160
<v Speaker 1>still has a role to play. I mean, he's had

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 1>a couple nice catches in every game this year, but

0:25:57.040 --> 0:25:59.679
<v Speaker 1>it's clearly Schultz's show right now, and it should be

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:01.840
<v Speaker 1>based on what he's doing. And you got a decision

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 1>to make. I mean, I understand. I'm just saying that

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:08.159
<v Speaker 1>you have to talk about he's a free agent. I mean, gallup,

0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do you want to really let him go

0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:12.440
<v Speaker 1>at this point? Let's let's I know, but you I know,

0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I know, I I know. I'm I'm just laughing because

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 1>that's the nature of football is you've got to start

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:19.840
<v Speaker 1>thinking about this stuff. And I'm sure they are still,

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:22.199
<v Speaker 1>like I'm sure Stephen and Will are thinking about it.

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:24.600
<v Speaker 1>They have to. They may just be like, hey, let's

0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 1>get this thing done in the in the bye week er.

0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:30.440
<v Speaker 1>And then of course his agents smarts like we don't

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:32.959
<v Speaker 1>think no, We'll wait. Yeah, so you know, and and

0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying the free agents that that they have

0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:38.639
<v Speaker 1>they have some free agents. It's it is early to

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 1>think about it, but I mean with with Connor Williams

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and Randy Gregory and man Michael Gallup and Cedric Wilson

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and Dalton Schultz. I mean, and don't forget this is

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:50.080
<v Speaker 1>the other part to that. I think both of your

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:53.000
<v Speaker 1>coordinators might be out the door when you come to

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:55.440
<v Speaker 1>it offseason. So right now, what I've already decided my mind,

0:26:55.480 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 1>you better enjoy this year and you better get the

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.960
<v Speaker 1>most you can get out of it. Because the turnaround

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:02.719
<v Speaker 1>that Quinn has gotten from this defense and what we

0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:04.960
<v Speaker 1>already talked about, what Kelly Moore is doing every week,

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Like if that continues throughout this year, the likelihood that

0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 1>those guys get opportunities to go on and be head

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:13.960
<v Speaker 1>coaches again, or at least for Quinn again, it's pretty strong.

0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not everything y'all just said is right, but I

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 1>just hate that we're doing no. But that's the part

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:24.000
<v Speaker 1>of being nervous, like, oh my god, You've got to

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:26.160
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of this opportunity because you may not have

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 1>this opportunity once you get past this year. This may

0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 1>be one of those years where everything has come together

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.040
<v Speaker 1>at this moment. You better get the most you can

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:35.959
<v Speaker 1>get out of it because everything may change next year.

0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:37.639
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's talk a little bit more. I did

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 1>have one more question for you guys on the running backs.

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:41.480
<v Speaker 1>We look at the split and we've been talking a

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:43.920
<v Speaker 1>lot about this over the first two weeks, But this game,

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Zeke had twenty touches, Pollard had twelve. It was clear

0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to me anyway, even from the beginning of the game,

0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>before the game began, when Zeke Grant runs out there

0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:56.600
<v Speaker 1>as your offensive captain, that I think they were trying

0:27:56.600 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to make a statement. Zeke's still very very very important

0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:01.960
<v Speaker 1>what we do, and I expected that they were going

0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to ride him, and they absolutely did. Is this more

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 1>of kind of what we probably can't expect throughout the

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:08.840
<v Speaker 1>year that Zeke still is going to get the bulk

0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.719
<v Speaker 1>of the carries. There will be games when Pollard's being

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:13.959
<v Speaker 1>used a little bit more because of what he offers

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:17.440
<v Speaker 1>for that particular game, but Zeke is still your main guy. Well,

0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:18.840
<v Speaker 1>and I think this is part of the reason I

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.920
<v Speaker 1>thought last week was so weird. It was the same thing.

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I know, Pollard had more carries and had one hundred

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 1>yards he's still I think he got thirty eight or

0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:29.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty five percent of the snaps last week, and Zeke

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:31.920
<v Speaker 1>got like sixty five. It was seventy thirty last night.

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:34.680
<v Speaker 1>It just so happened. Zeke looked more like the work

0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:37.160
<v Speaker 1>horse who took all these probably got more of the

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:40.880
<v Speaker 1>ball carries. Right, even though he was out there less snap,

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the share of the of the snaps was the same

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 1>as it was last week. And Yeah, I think that's

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:47.600
<v Speaker 1>what we can expect. It's always going to fluctuate. It

0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:50.600
<v Speaker 1>could go anywhere from twenty five percent to forty percent,

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 1>but I think Zeke is going to hover between sixty

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:55.920
<v Speaker 1>and seventy five depending on the game. And I think

0:28:55.960 --> 0:29:00.080
<v Speaker 1>that's right. I think they're playing this exactly the right way.

0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, one hundred percent agree with all that. I

0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 1>think that. Um, I just I like the way Zeke

0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:09.360
<v Speaker 1>is running the ball right now. I mean he looks

0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 1>like a guy that is focused on the fumbles. I mean,

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:16.479
<v Speaker 1>he's definitely cleaning that up. He's also looked like a

0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 1>guy that that when he you know, he looked leaner

0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 1>this year and he's running that way. I mean, he's

0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:24.520
<v Speaker 1>you can just kind of tell there's a little bit

0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 1>more burst. And and I love what's tappening with Pollard

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:30.480
<v Speaker 1>because at the end of the year, we've seen Zeke

0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, gets a lot of carries and he kind

0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 1>of wears him down. Right now, I think these two

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.880
<v Speaker 1>guys together will will help each other. And I mean,

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:40.960
<v Speaker 1>if Corey Clement can get three carries at the end

0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>of the game, I mean, and and Cooper rush handon

0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:46.160
<v Speaker 1>in the ball, I mean, that's that's a good sign

0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to the d of the game. Um, let's let's move

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to the defensive side of the ball. I want to

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 1>start first, we're talking about Philadelphia strategy. I found this

0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:58.560
<v Speaker 1>shocking when I looked at the post game statistics, uh

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Hell. Philadelphia to sixty four yards rushing on twelve carries.

0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 1>That was a five point three average. But they only

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 1>had two rushing opportunities for their primary back Sanders, and

0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:14.480
<v Speaker 1>one of those was a twenty four yard run. Were

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 1>you as shocked as I was that they didn't get

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.880
<v Speaker 1>their running back more involved in that game and at

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 1>least try it more, even if even if it didn't work.

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 1>It seemed like they were having a hard time getting

0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a rhythm and he had one really big run. Are

0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you surprised that they didn't use him more? Yeah, I'm

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 1>surprised that anybody wouldn't try to attack this team on

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the ground after what we saw last year. And clearly

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 1>they're playing much better. But has anybody really and truly

0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 1>tested them that way? I mean, Tampa through the ball

0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty times. It was all Herbert last week. Nobody's really

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 1>committed to that, and the only the only thing I

0:30:48.040 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 1>can come up with is just that. And I can

0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:54.400
<v Speaker 1>picture a coach saying this, because I've heard Jason Garrett

0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:56.640
<v Speaker 1>do it like a million times. It's just the game

0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 1>sort of got away from them. I mean they could

0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles. I mean they could not establish any kind

0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:04.920
<v Speaker 1>of rhythm. I'm looking at three plays, three plays, three plays,

0:31:04.960 --> 0:31:07.760
<v Speaker 1>four plays, five plays. That was their first half, and

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 1>they're down thirteen points and so and now all of

0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:12.480
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, you gotta change the way you play espect

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and then what the third player the second half, they

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:17.959
<v Speaker 1>go down twenty because of the pick six. So I

0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 1>can picture a coach saying like, oh, the game kind

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 1>of got away from us, but I think you got

0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 1>to try it a little bit harder. I mean, not

0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 1>that the Cowboys are complaining. Yeah, yeah, I mean I

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 1>know that's not what they want to do and run

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the ball, but I mean Sanders can you know he

0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:34.720
<v Speaker 1>can be effective. I mean, he was a good He's

0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 1>been a good back your last couple of years. Yeah,

0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean with with with the inexperience that they have

0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:44.480
<v Speaker 1>up there, I mean with Osa and you know, well

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:46.560
<v Speaker 1>they were down so many guys because of Ay in

0:31:46.600 --> 0:31:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the middle of their defensive line. I mean, there's not

0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:53.080
<v Speaker 1>many things. I mean, I'm not saying you should make

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a living testing Michael Parsons, but I do want to

0:31:56.360 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 1>see what it's like. I mean, I think teams should

0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 1>try to run at him and see he's not he

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have the the build of a normal defensive end.

0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 1>He's aggressive, he likes to get up the field. You

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:12.920
<v Speaker 1>can use that against him sometimes. And I'm just kind

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 1>of curious out now that it's been two full games

0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 1>of it, why teams aren't running it a little bit

0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>more at him? And maybe that will come maybe, you know,

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:24.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's talk about the time Dlogue gets back in

0:32:24.880 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 1>there and he's back the linebacker and then run at him. Yeah,

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:31.320
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, man, Yeah, it's weird to me. I don't.

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a great animal for him. He played

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a nice game and that was a tackle he guy

0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:37.120
<v Speaker 1>for a loss where they ran right at him. I

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:39.400
<v Speaker 1>thought it was I want to say it was. That

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 1>was a big play. Yeah, it was the second or

0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 1>third down. It was it was like it was a

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 1>first it was a second down because it was second

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and two or second one. They just got nine yards

0:32:47.520 --> 0:32:50.960
<v Speaker 1>to to um Ben Sanders. Somebody got nine yards and

0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:53.440
<v Speaker 1>then and then um he made a nice play. I

0:32:53.440 --> 0:32:54.880
<v Speaker 1>thought that was that was one of my five changing

0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 1>plays because I mean I thought that that led to

0:32:57.080 --> 0:32:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a punt um and that was one like you're not

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:02.040
<v Speaker 1>full and me on it. Yeah, But I mean he

0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 1>made a handful of like small kind of hidden plays.

0:33:05.920 --> 0:33:08.000
<v Speaker 1>The deflection I think it was on the second down

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:11.760
<v Speaker 1>in the third quarter led to a punt chase down

0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts when he scrambled. I mean it was only

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:15.600
<v Speaker 1>like a three yard game. It could have gone for

0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:17.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot more. I thought, Yeah, but this, I mean,

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about I mean that the spy was for

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 1>the most part, was Jalen. I mean, he was the

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:25.720
<v Speaker 1>spy in the game. And you know, Jalen Hurt Jalen

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:28.360
<v Speaker 1>on Jalen and Jalen hurts did not really hurt them.

0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:33.160
<v Speaker 1>That sounds weird, but with because Jalen's with him, he

0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:36.000
<v Speaker 1>played well. He played well, and I think our bars

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:38.920
<v Speaker 1>obviously lower and we're not expecting a lot from him

0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 1>or not really sure, especially when it comes to running

0:33:40.960 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 1>sideline to sideline. I think dan Quinn has got him

0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 1>playing better football. I really do. I think this is

0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a this is a good set up for him. There

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 1>are you can see flashes of the old Jalen and

0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, we got four hours asleep. I haven't had

0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a chance to watch the game back, but you can go.

0:33:57.640 --> 0:33:59.720
<v Speaker 1>There are plays last night where you can see him

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 1>ruggling to get off of his block or even doing

0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:05.160
<v Speaker 1>that weird thing Jalen does where he seems like he's

0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>running out of his out of the lane. Yeah, but

0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:13.000
<v Speaker 1>he is playing pretty well in the role that Quinn

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:16.439
<v Speaker 1>is designing for him. And honestly, again without having seen

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:21.479
<v Speaker 1>it again, it seemed like Jalen was doing whatever kind

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:24.400
<v Speaker 1>of spying they were doing. Like it wasn't Mica. Obviously,

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:27.319
<v Speaker 1>Jalen had that responsibility. Every time I heards got out

0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of the pocket. There was one guy running him down

0:34:29.080 --> 0:34:32.960
<v Speaker 1>and like more often than not, it didn't go poorly.

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:37.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, watching watching him gear up to get out

0:34:37.360 --> 0:34:40.399
<v Speaker 1>to the numbers is an adventure. I don't know how

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:43.280
<v Speaker 1>else to say it, but but it didn't burn them,

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess is the point. I mean, the answer is

0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 1>in the numbers. In the last two games, Jalen hurts

0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:50.799
<v Speaker 1>at sixty two yards on the ground against Atlanta, he

0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:53.719
<v Speaker 1>had eighty two against San Francisco. He had thirty five

0:34:53.840 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 1>last night. So whatever they did seemed to work. And

0:34:57.600 --> 0:34:59.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the times, like I said, when you

0:34:59.680 --> 0:35:02.719
<v Speaker 1>found him outside the pocket, it was Jalen Smith who

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:04.480
<v Speaker 1>was who was chasing him and running him down and

0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:07.399
<v Speaker 1>keeping him from getting very classic hats to the football too.

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:10.839
<v Speaker 1>There was the one sack where he was like, are

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.200
<v Speaker 1>we giving quarters of a sack out right now? Because

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 1>like Jalen was in there, everybody Osa was in the hour. Yeah,

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:18.839
<v Speaker 1>so I thought for sure we'd seen some swiping going

0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:20.840
<v Speaker 1>on after that. Yeah, he got up. I don't know

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:22.439
<v Speaker 1>if I don't know if he's kind of just given

0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>up on the swipe, but he kind of got up

0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and he wanted to celebrate and he did something different.

0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:28.720
<v Speaker 1>He didn't swipe, But I haven't really seen the swipe

0:35:28.760 --> 0:35:31.399
<v Speaker 1>this year, and he's had some much swipeable moments. He's

0:35:31.440 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 1>had at least two or three. You know, he's playing

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought. I think he's one of those guys that's

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>playing surprisingly okay. And what that means is based upon

0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:42.680
<v Speaker 1>what I thought of him coming into the year. I'm

0:35:42.719 --> 0:35:44.680
<v Speaker 1>not disappointed in his play right now, not at all,

0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:47.200
<v Speaker 1>especially when you ask him when you think about what's

0:35:47.239 --> 0:35:49.239
<v Speaker 1>happened here. Yeah, I mean, I mean because of the

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:52.120
<v Speaker 1>injuries and everything that's happened to defensive end, Mica has

0:35:52.120 --> 0:35:54.719
<v Speaker 1>been taken away from the linebacker spot and he's had

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:57.239
<v Speaker 1>to play more, especially in the nickel Kean O'Neil's out

0:35:57.360 --> 0:36:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and basically Parsons was out too. In Layton, vander Esche

0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:03.200
<v Speaker 1>played the nickel down in a game where you know

0:36:03.239 --> 0:36:05.320
<v Speaker 1>that they like to run and throw in the quarterbacks

0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:07.160
<v Speaker 1>mobile and all that, and it did not hurt him,

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:10.279
<v Speaker 1>So you gotta go hats off to them as well.

0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we get a chance to talk to

0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:15.719
<v Speaker 1>him after the game, you know, and the last two

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:18.240
<v Speaker 1>weeks he's come over to us and Chris, our producer,

0:36:18.440 --> 0:36:21.480
<v Speaker 1>he's right there and you can just kind of tell Jaalen,

0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:25.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he's different. I think he's been

0:36:25.480 --> 0:36:28.279
<v Speaker 1>somewhat humbled with he here's the criticism. He knows. I

0:36:28.280 --> 0:36:30.279
<v Speaker 1>think he's trying to really just put his head down

0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and work and and and you know, you gotta give him.

0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:35.440
<v Speaker 1>You gotta give him credit for I think he's played.

0:36:35.520 --> 0:36:37.719
<v Speaker 1>He's played pretty well, and give dan Quinn credit for,

0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:39.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, getting him in a position to do that.

0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:42.799
<v Speaker 1>You look at at Mike we were talking about Michael Parks.

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Did you look at his stat line from last night?

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:47.200
<v Speaker 1>He had four tackles, half a sack, one tackle for

0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a loss, and five quarterback pressures. The quarterback pressures, I

0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:54.759
<v Speaker 1>think is what's so fascinating to me. Um looking at

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:58.839
<v Speaker 1>Mica at this point, enough of I think I've seen enough.

0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:01.520
<v Speaker 1>But do you I just think at this point you

0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 1>would continue to play him at defensive end for as

0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 1>long as because he the vast chartist snaps last night,

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:09.240
<v Speaker 1>we're at defensive end. Do you keep him at defensive

0:37:09.320 --> 0:37:12.040
<v Speaker 1>end now full time until the point where at least

0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:15.840
<v Speaker 1>until Tank is back. That needs to be part of

0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 1>what he does, That needs to be a significant part

0:37:18.160 --> 0:37:20.920
<v Speaker 1>of his role every week. But the fun thing is,

0:37:20.960 --> 0:37:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and he said this last night he was asked about it, Yeah,

0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he played thirty three of his snaps at

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:28.959
<v Speaker 1>end and he played thirty seven steps. But he's not

0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:31.800
<v Speaker 1>charging up the field every time like he dropped a

0:37:31.840 --> 0:37:33.840
<v Speaker 1>few times. He can get out into the flat. He

0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:37.359
<v Speaker 1>can do some of that stuff. So it's it's more

0:37:37.640 --> 0:37:40.040
<v Speaker 1>it's he's not just making a bee line for the quarterback.

0:37:40.080 --> 0:37:42.400
<v Speaker 1>But that's how they played the DeFi defensive end in

0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the scheme. No, I absolutely, but he's well suited for that,

0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess, is my point. If you want me to

0:37:46.920 --> 0:37:49.520
<v Speaker 1>be honest, when Tank does some of that stuff, I'm like,

0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:54.200
<v Speaker 1>restaurants just go forward. But with Mica, I'm like, yeah, absolutely,

0:37:54.280 --> 0:37:56.080
<v Speaker 1>you can have some fun with this. You can confuse

0:37:56.120 --> 0:37:58.719
<v Speaker 1>some quarterbacks. You can get a pick that way a

0:37:58.760 --> 0:38:03.479
<v Speaker 1>guy with his athleticism and wait at disguise things that'll come.

0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:07.920
<v Speaker 1>So that absolutely needs to be a huge part of

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:09.960
<v Speaker 1>his role, but you can kind of tinker with it.

0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I still love the idea of him having the versatility

0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:16.919
<v Speaker 1>to do more than just get up field, but he

0:38:17.040 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 1>clearly needs to be doing a lot of this, at

0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:22.360
<v Speaker 1>least until to Marcus Lawrence is healthy again. All right.

0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 1>What we're gonna do is gonna take this final break.

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:26.120
<v Speaker 1>When we come back, I want to talk about the

0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 1>other two young guys on this defense, Trayvon Diggs and

0:38:28.719 --> 0:38:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Olsa Odigi Zuwa. They are playing phenomenal football right now,

0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:34.799
<v Speaker 1>and so we'll talk a little bit about them and

0:38:34.840 --> 0:38:36.480
<v Speaker 1>what they did last night and what they're looking what

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:39.480
<v Speaker 1>they're doing for this defense overall this season. We'll talk

0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:40.919
<v Speaker 1>about that when we come right back. This is Dallas

<v Speaker 1>segment of the Breakway are front for the the s

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:12.080
<v Speaker 1>WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. We're talking about the

0:41:12.080 --> 0:41:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys win. They beat the Philadelphia Eagles forty one to

0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:19.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. Let's talk about those defensive players. Trayvon Diggs

0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:22.640
<v Speaker 1>last night, man, I don't even know what you really

0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:26.000
<v Speaker 1>say about this guy. He's had three interceptions in three games.

0:41:26.440 --> 0:41:28.399
<v Speaker 1>First time a Cowboy player has done that to start

0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 1>a season since Everson Walls. That goes back away. In

0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:34.560
<v Speaker 1>addition to that, you got a guy like Osa Odiggi

0:41:34.640 --> 0:41:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Zoo had four tackles, one and a half sacks, one

0:41:37.880 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 1>tackle for a loss. You look at those two guys

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:43.640
<v Speaker 1>combined with Michael Parsons, and you look at this defense

0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:46.319
<v Speaker 1>and you say, you know, you add in a Dan

0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Quinn and all of a sudden, this defense is playing

0:41:48.960 --> 0:41:52.600
<v Speaker 1>really really good football. And there what's really making them,

0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I think, really good is the fact they're turning the

0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:57.000
<v Speaker 1>ball over like they're taking the ball away from teams.

0:41:57.000 --> 0:41:58.920
<v Speaker 1>And really, you listen to Mike McCarthy says, they've been

0:41:58.920 --> 0:42:01.239
<v Speaker 1>doing this since last year. I'm impressive as this coop

0:42:01.280 --> 0:42:04.680
<v Speaker 1>into you so far incredibly And I actually I thought

0:42:04.719 --> 0:42:08.279
<v Speaker 1>about this last night. I can hear myself at some

0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:10.600
<v Speaker 1>point in the offseason because you talk about you gotta

0:42:10.640 --> 0:42:13.799
<v Speaker 1>go from worse to middle of the pack in one year,

0:42:13.840 --> 0:42:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and how realistic is that really? And you're like, well,

0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess if they I guess if just everything hits

0:42:20.719 --> 0:42:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I guess if these bargain bin free agents are actually good,

0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and I guess if they hit on a bunch of

0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:29.480
<v Speaker 1>draft picks, maybe they can turn this thing around quickly.

0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:32.759
<v Speaker 1>And lo and behold, like, what what's happening right now?

0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Micah Parsons is a dude OsO DIGGI zoo as a

0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:43.480
<v Speaker 1>dude underrated, Jeron Curse and Demante Casey. Throw Malie Cooker

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:45.359
<v Speaker 1>in there too. I tweeted this last night. They gave

0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:50.120
<v Speaker 1>those guys a million dollars in guarantees combine. They were

0:42:50.560 --> 0:42:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, no money, nothing, and that's in the spring.

0:42:53.719 --> 0:42:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I looked at it and I was like, Okay, well,

0:42:55.160 --> 0:42:56.960
<v Speaker 1>they're kind of showing you how much faith they have

0:42:57.040 --> 0:42:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in these guys based on what they were willing to

0:42:59.080 --> 0:43:03.640
<v Speaker 1>pay them, and they're all playing like studs. Throw in

0:43:03.680 --> 0:43:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Treyvon Diggs, who we kind of had an inkling. He

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:08.839
<v Speaker 1>looked great in training camp. He was their best dB

0:43:09.040 --> 0:43:12.120
<v Speaker 1>last year. And it just low and behold, like it

0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:14.520
<v Speaker 1>never happens like this where it all comes together in

0:43:14.520 --> 0:43:17.600
<v Speaker 1>one year, But that's what's happening right now. Yeah, you know,

0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to take anything away from the defense,

0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:24.280
<v Speaker 1>but I really believe that this starts with the offense.

0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:28.320
<v Speaker 1>The offense has helped this defense become better. And it's because,

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:32.360
<v Speaker 1>unlike last year, the offense is getting off to fast starts.

0:43:32.400 --> 0:43:34.919
<v Speaker 1>They're scoring early. Their score I mean not even even

0:43:34.920 --> 0:43:37.919
<v Speaker 1>in the Tampa game they didn't they moved the ball. Well,

0:43:38.000 --> 0:43:40.080
<v Speaker 1>they didn't score that game, but then the second drive

0:43:40.120 --> 0:43:42.040
<v Speaker 1>they did, they stayed in it. They were right in

0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:43.960
<v Speaker 1>that mix. Of course, the last two games they've scored.

0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that's really helping the defense. But I don't

0:43:46.480 --> 0:43:48.120
<v Speaker 1>want to I don't want to take him away what

0:43:48.280 --> 0:43:50.120
<v Speaker 1>they're doing. And then this is three games in a

0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 1>row they've got to turnover inside the two yard line,

0:43:52.640 --> 0:43:54.399
<v Speaker 1>either in the end zone or the two yards that's

0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:56.520
<v Speaker 1>protecting the goal line. I mean, they had that fumble

0:43:56.560 --> 0:44:00.600
<v Speaker 1>of Tampa, the interception against the Chargers last weekday interception

0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:02.920
<v Speaker 1>which led to a touchdown. Yeah. The other way, it

0:44:03.000 --> 0:44:05.759
<v Speaker 1>sucks for Anthony Brown that he finally makes a big

0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:07.799
<v Speaker 1>play and gets people off his back a little bit

0:44:07.840 --> 0:44:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and it leads to, you know, the best play of

0:44:11.239 --> 0:44:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Philly's night probably Yeah. I mean, if he was a

0:44:14.200 --> 0:44:16.399
<v Speaker 1>little chunkier, he probably would have been in the end zone.

0:44:16.440 --> 0:44:20.319
<v Speaker 1>But then against hard to play, Yeah, just cheak here. Yeah,

0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:24.799
<v Speaker 1>if he had an ass nice who were you talking about?

0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:29.560
<v Speaker 1>What you said Leary was Ron Leary? I just no, there,

0:44:29.560 --> 0:44:33.480
<v Speaker 1>and I think you're absolutely right. I mean, there it is.

0:44:33.600 --> 0:44:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Here we go having an offense that can dictate the

0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:38.160
<v Speaker 1>pace and the flow of the game. And I mean

0:44:38.200 --> 0:44:40.399
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles were on their heels from the moment this

0:44:40.440 --> 0:44:42.880
<v Speaker 1>game started, and I think that does matter. But I

0:44:42.920 --> 0:44:46.239
<v Speaker 1>also think this defense just has some swag to it.

0:44:46.320 --> 0:44:53.160
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, obviously Micah did kazy curse. I mean, curse

0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:55.400
<v Speaker 1>is over there, mixing it up with the whole Eagles

0:44:55.400 --> 0:44:59.200
<v Speaker 1>sidelines like waving by at him, which I love me too.

0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:03.879
<v Speaker 1>M Trayvon Digs. He's he's fun man, and I mean

0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the pick is one thing, but he just he contested

0:45:06.600 --> 0:45:08.719
<v Speaker 1>every ball that went his way. And that's why I

0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:11.680
<v Speaker 1>hate the tawning penalty because he knocks that ball down

0:45:11.760 --> 0:45:15.879
<v Speaker 1>and just like flex is on the guy like yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:18.360
<v Speaker 1>there we go. It's just it's fun. It's fun to

0:45:18.360 --> 0:45:22.160
<v Speaker 1>see guys play without much confidence. Let's talk about can

0:45:22.200 --> 0:45:24.239
<v Speaker 1>I can I get it like two minutes here, which

0:45:24.320 --> 0:45:26.879
<v Speaker 1>might guy, I'm sorry to dell it, But if we're

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:30.080
<v Speaker 1>talking about swag, I mean, you know, it's not just

0:45:30.120 --> 0:45:33.200
<v Speaker 1>with the players. I loved what we were able to do.

0:45:33.400 --> 0:45:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Cowboys, Dallas Cowboys, America's team, and we get

0:45:36.280 --> 0:45:38.759
<v Speaker 1>people to take shots at us all the time every week.

0:45:38.800 --> 0:45:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I like, how we you know what, we fought back

0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and they didn't say anything about that damn T shirt

0:45:44.320 --> 0:45:46.640
<v Speaker 1>all week long. And then as soon as that game's over,

0:45:46.880 --> 0:45:50.320
<v Speaker 1>our social media team we were ready. I mean, and everybody,

0:45:50.400 --> 0:45:53.400
<v Speaker 1>everybody's been talking about it. Well played and all that's

0:45:53.400 --> 0:45:55.200
<v Speaker 1>been a lot of you know, it was classy, was

0:45:55.280 --> 0:45:59.319
<v Speaker 1>done very well. Kudos to you, you, Shannon, that whole

0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:02.399
<v Speaker 1>social team, because you know we're the Cowboys. We don't

0:46:02.400 --> 0:46:05.040
<v Speaker 1>even taking that every every time I thought, I thought

0:46:05.040 --> 0:46:07.200
<v Speaker 1>they did a great job, and yes we play Philly again,

0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:10.120
<v Speaker 1>deal with it. It was it was actually and I

0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:12.280
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't take any credfit. It was the social team.

0:46:12.320 --> 0:46:14.839
<v Speaker 1>It was Audrey west Kind, it was enough on it.

0:46:14.840 --> 0:46:16.799
<v Speaker 1>It was Presley Arians and we And that's the thing

0:46:16.800 --> 0:46:19.440
<v Speaker 1>when they brought it to me, initially, my first thought was,

0:46:19.480 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, we haven't done this. This is not

0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:24.000
<v Speaker 1>something we typically do because our brand is not it

0:46:24.000 --> 0:46:26.759
<v Speaker 1>doesn't necessarily work with our brand like, that's not been

0:46:26.800 --> 0:46:29.479
<v Speaker 1>our brand because, like you said, every team takes shots

0:46:29.480 --> 0:46:31.360
<v Speaker 1>at us all the time, and it happens on social

0:46:31.360 --> 0:46:34.279
<v Speaker 1>media so much, and we just kind of just let

0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it go because you know, that's kind of the brand.

0:46:36.160 --> 0:46:38.839
<v Speaker 1>But we were like, you know, this is entertainment. Let's

0:46:38.840 --> 0:46:41.120
<v Speaker 1>have some fun. And the great part about it was

0:46:41.840 --> 0:46:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the people I talked to within the organization. Everybody was

0:46:45.040 --> 0:46:46.799
<v Speaker 1>kind of on the same page, like, you know what,

0:46:47.080 --> 0:46:49.279
<v Speaker 1>let's go have some fun. This is entertainment. Let's go

0:46:49.320 --> 0:46:51.440
<v Speaker 1>have some fun. What it should and uh, and let's

0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:53.719
<v Speaker 1>just see what happens that. And it worked out that

0:46:53.800 --> 0:46:56.640
<v Speaker 1>crew works really hard. They worked hard. They worked long

0:46:56.680 --> 0:46:59.480
<v Speaker 1>after and you know we all do, but they really

0:46:59.520 --> 0:47:00.920
<v Speaker 1>do there to come up with it, you got to

0:47:00.960 --> 0:47:02.640
<v Speaker 1>come up with stuff all the time. So I thought

0:47:02.640 --> 0:47:04.960
<v Speaker 1>that that was well played. I just wanted to give

0:47:04.960 --> 0:47:07.480
<v Speaker 1>them some shout out the way that the way that

0:47:07.600 --> 0:47:12.080
<v Speaker 1>they scratching, like they go, oh, I sound like Jason Garrett,

0:47:12.080 --> 0:47:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, do it? They scratching, claw and fight. But

0:47:15.000 --> 0:47:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the problem is, did it too. I'll tell you anything.

0:47:17.239 --> 0:47:19.400
<v Speaker 1>They can be. They could be the best in the

0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:22.439
<v Speaker 1>world at their jobs. But if the team sucks, it ain't.

0:47:22.600 --> 0:47:24.960
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing they can do about it. So they are

0:47:25.000 --> 0:47:27.560
<v Speaker 1>at the mercy of how good the team is and

0:47:27.640 --> 0:47:30.200
<v Speaker 1>for you know, to fight through how awful last year

0:47:30.400 --> 0:47:32.600
<v Speaker 1>was and like everything they do is just getting met

0:47:32.640 --> 0:47:35.960
<v Speaker 1>with derision. I hope you can appreciate as cool as

0:47:36.040 --> 0:47:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you thought the shirt graphic was. That means everything to

0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:42.000
<v Speaker 1>a social team who was just like, yes, a win,

0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:45.160
<v Speaker 1>like a win on the field, but a win for us.

0:47:45.200 --> 0:47:47.400
<v Speaker 1>We get to do something fun and kind of revel

0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:48.960
<v Speaker 1>in it. It's just great and real quick before you

0:47:48.960 --> 0:47:50.920
<v Speaker 1>get to your point, we all lived through that in

0:47:50.960 --> 0:47:54.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen. It was a year win that there was

0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:56.360
<v Speaker 1>We got to do so much cool stuff because the

0:47:56.400 --> 0:48:00.120
<v Speaker 1>team was young, they were fresh, they were winning, and

0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:02.200
<v Speaker 1>they were doing it in a flashy way. So it

0:48:02.239 --> 0:48:04.439
<v Speaker 1>allowed us to take everything we did to a whole

0:48:04.480 --> 0:48:07.319
<v Speaker 1>different level. And we're doing Finish this fight videos and

0:48:07.360 --> 0:48:11.440
<v Speaker 1>we're doing Zeke eaton videos, breakfast club and sting and

0:48:11.480 --> 0:48:14.880
<v Speaker 1>it's it's going crazy. Like that's the beauty of this business.

0:48:15.080 --> 0:48:16.919
<v Speaker 1>When you get a great season. When you think about

0:48:16.920 --> 0:48:20.360
<v Speaker 1>college teams that they have great you know, video department

0:48:20.400 --> 0:48:22.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, colle the best teams, Yeah, you know,

0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:25.560
<v Speaker 1>but there is one out there in Colorado State or

0:48:25.600 --> 0:48:27.200
<v Speaker 1>something like that that doesn't do well, but they have

0:48:27.280 --> 0:48:29.320
<v Speaker 1>great It's hard to do it when you're when you're winning.

0:48:29.320 --> 0:48:31.600
<v Speaker 1>But you said that about I sound like Jason Garrett.

0:48:31.600 --> 0:48:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I think I wrote something. I was like, he's just

0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:35.360
<v Speaker 1>getting better right in front of our own eyes. I

0:48:35.600 --> 0:48:38.279
<v Speaker 1>was like, it's not too big, it's not too big.

0:48:39.080 --> 0:48:41.239
<v Speaker 1>You can't see the steam coming out of his ears

0:48:41.239 --> 0:48:45.800
<v Speaker 1>real quick. How impressive is this defensive performance when you

0:48:45.880 --> 0:48:48.399
<v Speaker 1>consider all the guys that they don't have right now,

0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:50.560
<v Speaker 1>when you think about the fact they're without Tank, they're

0:48:50.560 --> 0:48:54.400
<v Speaker 1>without Joseph Gallimore, Neil Watkins, Gallop and not There are

0:48:54.440 --> 0:48:56.960
<v Speaker 1>a ton of guys right now that they are not

0:48:57.040 --> 0:48:59.760
<v Speaker 1>that they don't have because of injury, because of COVID,

0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:02.520
<v Speaker 1>and they're still being able to put together some really

0:49:02.560 --> 0:49:05.040
<v Speaker 1>great games, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.

0:49:05.200 --> 0:49:08.120
<v Speaker 1>How much better will they be once they're at full strength?

0:49:08.320 --> 0:49:11.480
<v Speaker 1>But way better, I mean you should be, especially with Gallimore.

0:49:11.520 --> 0:49:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a big one right there. Um, maybe

0:49:14.680 --> 0:49:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Tristan Hills Galisa. I like that defensive combination there in

0:49:19.400 --> 0:49:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the middle. I love it. I get I'll take this

0:49:22.120 --> 0:49:24.400
<v Speaker 1>because I haven't. I haven't been a downer today, have

0:49:24.480 --> 0:49:26.759
<v Speaker 1>I No, But I'll tell I mean, I just I

0:49:26.880 --> 0:49:29.279
<v Speaker 1>kind of ride the fence a little bit. They've been great.

0:49:29.320 --> 0:49:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't talked about the half time yet. I just

0:49:34.400 --> 0:49:36.960
<v Speaker 1>they they've been solid and it has been impressive. What

0:49:37.040 --> 0:49:40.279
<v Speaker 1>they don't have, the way they're making do um. I'm

0:49:40.320 --> 0:49:41.919
<v Speaker 1>just I'm I don't know. I'm not ready to crown

0:49:42.000 --> 0:49:44.279
<v Speaker 1>them yet. I think that just fine. I don't think

0:49:44.320 --> 0:49:46.840
<v Speaker 1>highly of that Philly team. They should have won that

0:49:46.920 --> 0:49:51.239
<v Speaker 1>game comfortably. And then the chunk players are there. I mean,

0:49:51.920 --> 0:49:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Herbert did it. Some of it got waved off by flags,

0:49:54.480 --> 0:49:56.799
<v Speaker 1>but the chunk players were there. Week two. The week

0:49:56.880 --> 0:49:59.279
<v Speaker 1>one the Eagles hit them for You can kind of

0:49:59.280 --> 0:50:03.120
<v Speaker 1>expect that. But it's been a common theme across all

0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:06.680
<v Speaker 1>three weeks. I have a much easier time tolerating it

0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:09.800
<v Speaker 1>at Tampa and at LA as opposed to home against

0:50:10.480 --> 0:50:15.560
<v Speaker 1>a not that special Philadelphia offense. Again, not trying to

0:50:15.600 --> 0:50:18.200
<v Speaker 1>take too much shine off of them, but like cover

0:50:18.239 --> 0:50:21.720
<v Speaker 1>a tight end maybe, I mean tight end crossing routes

0:50:21.800 --> 0:50:24.840
<v Speaker 1>killed them last night. So there were just a few.

0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:27.480
<v Speaker 1>And when I say chunk, I mean a chunk play

0:50:27.520 --> 0:50:30.440
<v Speaker 1>can be fifteen yards, but they had some thirty five,

0:50:30.640 --> 0:50:33.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, probably even a forty yard gain in there.

0:50:33.320 --> 0:50:37.480
<v Speaker 1>So I just know it's not Doomsday two point zero.

0:50:37.560 --> 0:50:39.520
<v Speaker 1>That's all I'm trying to say yet. But you know,

0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I also think of that, and I think part of

0:50:41.600 --> 0:50:43.239
<v Speaker 1>that from in my mind at least. I don't know

0:50:43.280 --> 0:50:44.960
<v Speaker 1>if this is accurate, but in my mind I look

0:50:44.960 --> 0:50:48.399
<v Speaker 1>at I say that is to me, maybe I can

0:50:48.440 --> 0:50:50.960
<v Speaker 1>put that on the fact that when you have a

0:50:51.080 --> 0:50:53.760
<v Speaker 1>coordinator who kind of knows how he wants to do things,

0:50:54.080 --> 0:50:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and if you're getting by the way, they haven't had

0:50:56.160 --> 0:50:58.680
<v Speaker 1>so many chunk plays that it's really hurt them. They've

0:50:58.719 --> 0:51:00.880
<v Speaker 1>given up a few. So what that says to me

0:51:00.960 --> 0:51:03.360
<v Speaker 1>is maybe there were just sometimes when the call was

0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:07.600
<v Speaker 1>just the call that doesn't work against what they're doing offensively,

0:51:07.719 --> 0:51:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and then you get a chunk play. I'm willing to

0:51:10.400 --> 0:51:14.360
<v Speaker 1>give them that because they've been way better on most plays,

0:51:14.440 --> 0:51:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and especially when they get in the red zone they

0:51:16.120 --> 0:51:18.640
<v Speaker 1>tend to stiffen up. So I'm kind of and I

0:51:18.719 --> 0:51:20.480
<v Speaker 1>gotta give them a little bit of a pass on that.

0:51:20.600 --> 0:51:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I think people lose sight of the fact too, that

0:51:23.320 --> 0:51:25.600
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna give those up. It's the NFL. I mean,

0:51:25.680 --> 0:51:28.719
<v Speaker 1>you're you're gonna give up three hundred, three hundred and

0:51:28.719 --> 0:51:30.840
<v Speaker 1>fifty yards. I mean the yards have to come from somewhere.

0:51:30.840 --> 0:51:34.160
<v Speaker 1>So I get that, and I will say it might

0:51:34.480 --> 0:51:37.399
<v Speaker 1>it might not matter how quote unquote good they are

0:51:37.520 --> 0:51:41.560
<v Speaker 1>if they keep playing this opportunistically, like, give up as

0:51:41.600 --> 0:51:43.360
<v Speaker 1>many chunk plays as you want. If you get me

0:51:43.400 --> 0:51:46.040
<v Speaker 1>two takeaways a week every week, which that's when you're

0:51:46.080 --> 0:51:47.560
<v Speaker 1>not turning to the ball over right, I mean that's

0:51:47.560 --> 0:51:50.480
<v Speaker 1>a big ask. But defend the goal line, which as

0:51:50.600 --> 0:51:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Nick pointed out, they've been great at, and forced takeaways.

0:51:54.280 --> 0:51:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean the rest will sort itself out. Ye, all right,

0:51:57.040 --> 0:51:59.040
<v Speaker 1>we got to get to the topic we've been talking

0:51:59.080 --> 0:52:01.360
<v Speaker 1>about a lot of great happened last night. We do

0:52:01.440 --> 0:52:03.560
<v Speaker 1>because I think it's fair because, to be honest with you,

0:52:04.080 --> 0:52:07.239
<v Speaker 1>in the game last night, this moment was probably the

0:52:07.600 --> 0:52:10.520
<v Speaker 1>moment that most fans had the largest problem with. Most

0:52:10.520 --> 0:52:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys fans had the biggest problem with. You're getting to

0:52:13.360 --> 0:52:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the end of the half, and basically most fans wanted

0:52:18.920 --> 0:52:21.400
<v Speaker 1>to see Mike McCarthy use one or two of his

0:52:21.520 --> 0:52:24.239
<v Speaker 1>timeouts there at the end of that game or the

0:52:24.320 --> 0:52:27.799
<v Speaker 1>end of that half to give the offense and opportunity

0:52:28.080 --> 0:52:29.839
<v Speaker 1>to be able to see if maybe they could get

0:52:29.880 --> 0:52:33.720
<v Speaker 1>down the field. I personally thought it was a mistake

0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:35.400
<v Speaker 1>not to do it. And again, I think when it

0:52:35.400 --> 0:52:37.040
<v Speaker 1>comes to this kind of stuff, it's all a matter

0:52:37.080 --> 0:52:39.359
<v Speaker 1>of preference. You're up twenty seven, so I get where

0:52:39.360 --> 0:52:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the coach is like, hey, you know it's it's it's

0:52:42.160 --> 0:52:43.759
<v Speaker 1>one of the things I felt good about where we were.

0:52:44.000 --> 0:52:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Didn't fuck we needed to press it. Okay, fine, I

0:52:46.800 --> 0:52:49.640
<v Speaker 1>don't necessarily agree with that, but that's a personal preference.

0:52:50.239 --> 0:52:52.239
<v Speaker 1>I look at and say that they probably should have

0:52:52.280 --> 0:52:54.000
<v Speaker 1>done it. What were your thoughts on what they did?

0:52:54.040 --> 0:52:57.200
<v Speaker 1>They're heading into the end of the half. Well, I

0:52:58.880 --> 0:53:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I like to talk all the time up

0:53:01.600 --> 0:53:04.799
<v Speaker 1>in the press box. I'm trying to coach, and you know,

0:53:04.840 --> 0:53:08.080
<v Speaker 1>act like I know anything. That one just I'll tell

0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you I didn't. It didn't stand out to me. I didn't.

0:53:10.080 --> 0:53:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't senting there saying time out, time out. I

0:53:14.360 --> 0:53:17.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a problem with it, certainly, not as much

0:53:17.680 --> 0:53:21.520
<v Speaker 1>as other people do. I looked at it more kind

0:53:21.520 --> 0:53:23.680
<v Speaker 1>of the same way. I'm kind of content with this

0:53:23.760 --> 0:53:27.000
<v Speaker 1>one thing. I didn't like was. They were running it great,

0:53:27.040 --> 0:53:30.120
<v Speaker 1>they were moving the ball, very balanced, and that setting

0:53:30.360 --> 0:53:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get penned back probably inside your own ten.

0:53:34.160 --> 0:53:37.040
<v Speaker 1>The center can't, the center's having problems, the left guards

0:53:37.040 --> 0:53:39.799
<v Speaker 1>having problems. If there anything that could go wrong here,

0:53:40.120 --> 0:53:42.799
<v Speaker 1>and I just didn't think it needed to do it.

0:53:42.840 --> 0:53:46.840
<v Speaker 1>So I saw his point, and I'll just say this. Coaches,

0:53:47.280 --> 0:53:48.920
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna look at it. They're gonna view it, and

0:53:48.960 --> 0:53:51.239
<v Speaker 1>they say, you know what, I'm okay with this. They're

0:53:51.320 --> 0:53:53.840
<v Speaker 1>lucky to have seven points. We gave them seven. We

0:53:53.960 --> 0:53:55.560
<v Speaker 1>keep doing what we're doing in the second half, we're

0:53:55.560 --> 0:53:57.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna blow this team out. So I'm not gonna give

0:53:57.320 --> 0:54:00.160
<v Speaker 1>them anything cheap here. I'm fine, let's get out out

0:54:00.160 --> 0:54:03.080
<v Speaker 1>of here. And I for this case, I'm okay with it,

0:54:03.920 --> 0:54:07.200
<v Speaker 1>but I know that not everybody agrees, actually honestly, and

0:54:07.320 --> 0:54:09.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm stubborn to a fault. But you made that point

0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:12.560
<v Speaker 1>to me right before we came downstairs, and I'm I've

0:54:12.600 --> 0:54:14.600
<v Speaker 1>like been marinating on it this whole time. I'm like,

0:54:14.719 --> 0:54:18.319
<v Speaker 1>I can I can see the logic here that I mean,

0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:21.640
<v Speaker 1>it should have been a moral It was a caveat

0:54:21.640 --> 0:54:23.080
<v Speaker 1>to it, but well it should have been a more

0:54:23.120 --> 0:54:26.920
<v Speaker 1>lopsided score. I mean, yeah, they like they dominated that

0:54:26.960 --> 0:54:29.760
<v Speaker 1>first half. They should have scored on the sneak bs

0:54:29.880 --> 0:54:33.839
<v Speaker 1>by the refs. Just terrible luck by Anthony Brown's I mean,

0:54:33.880 --> 0:54:35.839
<v Speaker 1>it could have been twenty seven seven going into half.

0:54:36.640 --> 0:54:39.480
<v Speaker 1>It's entirely possible. Mike McCarthy looked at him. He was like, yeah,

0:54:39.480 --> 0:54:42.480
<v Speaker 1>we're murdering these guys, and schre didn't even reflect how

0:54:42.480 --> 0:54:45.399
<v Speaker 1>bad were murdering them. And so I get that at

0:54:45.400 --> 0:54:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the same time, but I can't. I just I want

0:54:48.040 --> 0:54:50.760
<v Speaker 1>to play aggressive and dictate the game all the time,

0:54:50.840 --> 0:54:54.279
<v Speaker 1>and I can't one hundred percent reconcile. If you look

0:54:54.320 --> 0:54:56.919
<v Speaker 1>at it, if they use the timeouts or at least

0:54:56.920 --> 0:54:59.320
<v Speaker 1>one of them, you're probably get and dacked the ball

0:54:59.360 --> 0:55:03.320
<v Speaker 1>back with a little over a minute to play. And

0:55:03.880 --> 0:55:06.239
<v Speaker 1>the way he's been playing, you gotta change. I mean

0:55:06.560 --> 0:55:08.560
<v Speaker 1>we said this last week, he's probably gonna get points

0:55:08.560 --> 0:55:09.960
<v Speaker 1>if you give him the ball. All things can say.

0:55:10.000 --> 0:55:12.319
<v Speaker 1>It's a good I want I'm not betting against him

0:55:12.320 --> 0:55:14.880
<v Speaker 1>to get you points. And so the opportunity to go

0:55:15.040 --> 0:55:17.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of steal a possession there, especially knowing you don't

0:55:17.440 --> 0:55:20.680
<v Speaker 1>get the ball coming out a halftime it's just too

0:55:20.719 --> 0:55:22.920
<v Speaker 1>attempting for me to pass up the one thing I'll say,

0:55:22.920 --> 0:55:24.960
<v Speaker 1>And Nick I mentioned this to you before we went

0:55:25.000 --> 0:55:27.160
<v Speaker 1>on the air. I think what's not being talked about here.

0:55:27.200 --> 0:55:29.279
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's thinking they should have taken the time out when

0:55:29.280 --> 0:55:32.080
<v Speaker 1>they got to fourth and five to stop the clock

0:55:32.120 --> 0:55:35.080
<v Speaker 1>around a minute. I actually think where they should have

0:55:35.120 --> 0:55:37.680
<v Speaker 1>done something different is to play before that they would

0:55:37.680 --> 0:55:38.960
<v Speaker 1>have had they would have been able to stop the

0:55:39.000 --> 0:55:43.400
<v Speaker 1>clock around one forty maybe one forty five at third

0:55:43.440 --> 0:55:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and twenty four. Because your concern was, Hey, if I

0:55:46.080 --> 0:55:47.919
<v Speaker 1>give him that time out when it's fourth and five,

0:55:48.040 --> 0:55:50.000
<v Speaker 1>do they decide to go for it? Am I giving

0:55:50.000 --> 0:55:52.000
<v Speaker 1>them an opportunity for them to kind of reset, think

0:55:52.000 --> 0:55:53.560
<v Speaker 1>about what they want to do, and maybe decide they

0:55:53.560 --> 0:55:55.600
<v Speaker 1>want to go for it third and twenty four. You're

0:55:55.600 --> 0:55:57.480
<v Speaker 1>not worried about that. Third and twenty four says to me.

0:55:57.600 --> 0:56:00.560
<v Speaker 1>This is probably insurmountable for them. Let me saved some

0:56:00.640 --> 0:56:03.600
<v Speaker 1>time because most likely I'm getting the ball back here,

0:56:04.160 --> 0:56:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and if I got if you stop stop it at

0:56:06.000 --> 0:56:08.759
<v Speaker 1>one forty or one forty five, I feel really good,

0:56:08.760 --> 0:56:10.520
<v Speaker 1>even if they pin you back at the tin. I

0:56:10.520 --> 0:56:13.160
<v Speaker 1>feel really good that my quarterback has the ability to

0:56:13.200 --> 0:56:15.440
<v Speaker 1>get me down at least into field goal range with

0:56:15.560 --> 0:56:18.640
<v Speaker 1>one forty one thirty somewhere like that to be able

0:56:18.680 --> 0:56:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to get a field goal before the hat. Okay, and

0:56:20.600 --> 0:56:22.640
<v Speaker 1>you're and you're right, I've kind of done the math.

0:56:23.440 --> 0:56:26.120
<v Speaker 1>You call the time out, and third after second down

0:56:26.440 --> 0:56:28.200
<v Speaker 1>you call the time out. Again, Let's just say they

0:56:28.280 --> 0:56:32.080
<v Speaker 1>did everything that they did. They punt it. They punt

0:56:32.120 --> 0:56:34.759
<v Speaker 1>it from you know, midfield, so you're probably getting in

0:56:34.920 --> 0:56:37.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know they got around the tin, right, Okay,

0:56:37.320 --> 0:56:41.560
<v Speaker 1>they got the same field about minute ten, probably more

0:56:41.600 --> 0:56:44.239
<v Speaker 1>than than I'm guessing, more like about minute twenty five.

0:56:44.320 --> 0:56:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Minute okay, minute twenty five at your own ten. Knowing

0:56:48.120 --> 0:56:52.200
<v Speaker 1>what's happened, all you need is a field goal. What

0:56:52.400 --> 0:56:54.799
<v Speaker 1>is your play calls? There? Though, because because I'm not

0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I do it. I do it the same way that

0:56:56.560 --> 0:56:58.920
<v Speaker 1>you've seen all these successful quarterbacks do it. At the

0:56:59.000 --> 0:57:00.799
<v Speaker 1>end of the game or the end of the I'm

0:57:00.800 --> 0:57:02.600
<v Speaker 1>taking what you'll give me on the outside, So i

0:57:02.680 --> 0:57:05.080
<v Speaker 1>may do a five yard out to a tight end,

0:57:05.280 --> 0:57:07.239
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm just getting little chunks here and there

0:57:07.440 --> 0:57:10.200
<v Speaker 1>until I can ease myself down or I get this

0:57:10.280 --> 0:57:12.399
<v Speaker 1>one shot where I can get us down. And that's

0:57:12.400 --> 0:57:14.920
<v Speaker 1>what typically happens. You dink and dunk a few times,

0:57:15.120 --> 0:57:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you get them to bite just a little bit, and

0:57:16.920 --> 0:57:18.760
<v Speaker 1>then you can pop one that gets you down into field.

0:57:18.760 --> 0:57:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Go wrong. And by the way, listening to this, coach

0:57:21.880 --> 0:57:25.560
<v Speaker 1>your kickers, Yeah right, yeah, fifty sixty yard or eight yarder,

0:57:25.600 --> 0:57:27.840
<v Speaker 1>like you can't get eighty yarder? Yeah. I mean, I'm

0:57:27.840 --> 0:57:32.680
<v Speaker 1>just saying, so get me down to the whatever do

0:57:32.800 --> 0:57:35.960
<v Speaker 1>they believe in? Be honest, because he do they believe in?

0:57:36.080 --> 0:57:38.400
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just saying, you're you got first and ten

0:57:38.480 --> 0:57:40.280
<v Speaker 1>on your own eight yard line and you're back there

0:57:40.280 --> 0:57:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and you've got this game and control what can go wrong.

0:57:43.320 --> 0:57:47.040
<v Speaker 1>And that's all I'm saying is. And to go back

0:57:47.080 --> 0:57:49.680
<v Speaker 1>to my point, I'm not saying you carry this this

0:57:49.760 --> 0:57:52.240
<v Speaker 1>book and this is how I coach football every game,

0:57:52.320 --> 0:57:54.240
<v Speaker 1>because there's gonna be other games that you're He's got

0:57:54.280 --> 0:57:56.280
<v Speaker 1>a front row seat, looks at it and goes, we're

0:57:56.320 --> 0:57:58.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna score. We're gonna score in the second half. We're

0:57:58.680 --> 0:58:00.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna score. We have to put it on. But in

0:58:00.320 --> 0:58:02.520
<v Speaker 1>this game, it's like, if we don't f this thing up,

0:58:02.520 --> 0:58:04.680
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna blow him out. Look, I get that because

0:58:04.760 --> 0:58:06.840
<v Speaker 1>ultimately he probably looks at it like, unless we give

0:58:06.880 --> 0:58:08.920
<v Speaker 1>them cheap touchdowns, they're not going to drive the field

0:58:08.920 --> 0:58:10.840
<v Speaker 1>on it, right, Like, they're not going to do that.

0:58:10.840 --> 0:58:13.320
<v Speaker 1>That's not something that's not something that they are capable

0:58:13.320 --> 0:58:14.840
<v Speaker 1>of doing the way we're playing right now. So I

0:58:14.920 --> 0:58:18.280
<v Speaker 1>get that. I'm just thinking it's more of a philosophy.

0:58:18.440 --> 0:58:20.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think when you have a team like this

0:58:20.680 --> 0:58:24.400
<v Speaker 1>that is as good as they are offensively, I think

0:58:24.440 --> 0:58:26.160
<v Speaker 1>they can make up for if you should have a

0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:28.240
<v Speaker 1>bad moment. I think they can make up for that.

0:58:28.560 --> 0:58:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And so for me, I'm like, I want to be

0:58:30.640 --> 0:58:34.400
<v Speaker 1>aggressive every single week. Yeah, as offensive And by the way,

0:58:34.720 --> 0:58:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that's been the m since he's got here, they've been aggressive.

0:58:37.360 --> 0:58:38.880
<v Speaker 1>So why in this moment did they all of a

0:58:38.880 --> 0:58:41.600
<v Speaker 1>sudden say, let's not be aggressive, just give me some consistency.

0:58:41.680 --> 0:58:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Well to next point, maybe he felt that strongly about

0:58:44.960 --> 0:58:48.200
<v Speaker 1>how favorable they have the second half looked for them.

0:58:48.720 --> 0:58:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I lean toward agreeing with you, like, that's my every

0:58:51.920 --> 0:58:54.120
<v Speaker 1>instinct is to just be aggressive, especially when you have

0:58:54.160 --> 0:58:56.560
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback like this. But I can at least see

0:58:56.560 --> 0:58:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the logic of like, if you just look at everything

0:58:59.120 --> 0:59:02.680
<v Speaker 1>that happened in the first half feel pretty comfortable that

0:59:02.760 --> 0:59:05.080
<v Speaker 1>if you just don't do anything stupid, yeah, probably gonna

0:59:05.080 --> 0:59:06.840
<v Speaker 1>win the game. But you know the part of game

0:59:06.880 --> 0:59:09.880
<v Speaker 1>management is it's like it's the game within the game,

0:59:09.960 --> 0:59:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and every week you have to be able to adapt.

0:59:12.680 --> 0:59:15.000
<v Speaker 1>And so I hope he doesn't. And I'm not sitting

0:59:15.000 --> 0:59:17.160
<v Speaker 1>here saying don't don't be aggressive, because there's you know,

0:59:17.240 --> 0:59:19.520
<v Speaker 1>unless you're you know, fossil and let you know, let's

0:59:19.520 --> 0:59:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you ask the fans if they want to be aggressive.

0:59:21.240 --> 0:59:22.920
<v Speaker 1>But you know, but there have been moments. Now I

0:59:22.960 --> 0:59:25.200
<v Speaker 1>guess and this is the part probably that makes me

0:59:25.960 --> 0:59:28.160
<v Speaker 1>more like, I don't know if they did the right.

0:59:28.200 --> 0:59:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Thing is this isn't the first time that we've questioned

0:59:31.240 --> 0:59:33.960
<v Speaker 1>game management. We've questioned it a lot last year. We've

0:59:34.400 --> 0:59:36.600
<v Speaker 1>questioned it in pretty much every game this year. The

0:59:36.600 --> 0:59:39.640
<v Speaker 1>half has been not pretty much no this and that's

0:59:40.080 --> 0:59:43.760
<v Speaker 1>more so than what happened here. The theme is what

0:59:43.800 --> 0:59:47.280
<v Speaker 1>bothers yea three for three into the half in Tampa,

0:59:47.360 --> 0:59:50.600
<v Speaker 1>into the game in La into the half here at home.

0:59:51.200 --> 0:59:54.000
<v Speaker 1>And the even more remarkable than that is that none

0:59:54.000 --> 0:59:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of the three decisions have bit them in the ass.

0:59:56.480 --> 0:59:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Yet really you're looking at for if you think about

0:59:59.000 --> 1:00:02.080
<v Speaker 1>the end of the half and against the Chargers, I mean,

1:00:02.120 --> 1:00:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I know it was Fossil that wanted to but yeah,

1:00:05.080 --> 1:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean either just where he could have called it

1:00:07.640 --> 1:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>off and said no, no, no, give us the football.

1:00:09.720 --> 1:00:11.880
<v Speaker 1>None of it has bit them yet and it will

1:00:12.120 --> 1:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>it's going to. And so that's what bothers me more

1:00:15.360 --> 1:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>so than whether or not this was the right call

1:00:17.480 --> 1:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>is I'm just like you are showing a very consistent

1:00:20.600 --> 1:00:24.120
<v Speaker 1>theme of, in my opinion, not handling the end of

1:00:24.160 --> 1:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>these halfs very well. And eventually it will catch up

1:00:26.880 --> 1:00:28.479
<v Speaker 1>to you. You know. The funny of those four things

1:00:28.480 --> 1:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>we talked about it, two of them have been overly

1:00:30.960 --> 1:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>aggressive sixty yard or just kicking. He can't make anything,

1:00:35.240 --> 1:00:37.400
<v Speaker 1>but he'll hit He'll hit this one, and then the

1:00:37.400 --> 1:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>other one. You know, we'll just go block the point

1:00:39.440 --> 1:00:41.600
<v Speaker 1>and which we haven't done in six years or whatever,

1:00:41.600 --> 1:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>but let's just do it. And then the other two

1:00:43.600 --> 1:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>we're like, ah, you know what, Chargers, he's gonna make

1:00:46.440 --> 1:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>this fifty six yard or we don't get any more yards.

1:00:48.760 --> 1:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>We don't the end of the half. Here, we're good

1:00:50.240 --> 1:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven. So it's like it's four things and two

1:00:52.840 --> 1:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>of them have been really aggressive when I've been not aggressive,

1:00:55.800 --> 1:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and like you said, it hasn't been them yet, but yeah,

1:00:58.680 --> 1:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you wonder it. You're gonna ask them games where you're

1:01:00.480 --> 1:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna have some really tough opponents and those kind of

1:01:02.920 --> 1:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>things will matter this week. I mean, this team, they're

1:01:05.600 --> 1:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>three and oh they're three and oh tell me those

1:01:07.760 --> 1:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>three I know Jets in Houston. I'm missing sing the

1:01:11.040 --> 1:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Saint Yeah, which is a very quality human. Yeah yeah.

1:01:14.120 --> 1:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>But now, of course they had Christian McCaffrey, which we're

1:01:16.200 --> 1:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about that tomorrow. Without Christian McCaffrey, how much

1:01:19.200 --> 1:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>has that changed this team because that's what they did

1:01:20.760 --> 1:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>all last year and it didn't work out well for them.

1:01:22.800 --> 1:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>But we'll talk about that tomorrow. Actually, we'll get into

1:01:24.880 --> 1:01:28.320
<v Speaker 1>the whole offense chart I'm sorry, the Carolina Panther offense

1:01:28.440 --> 1:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>versus Cowboys defense, while Bucky coming and join us as well.

1:01:31.000 --> 1:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Until then, for Nick Eatman, Dave helm and I'm Derek Eagleton.
