You always seem to get the wing stop right, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:32.400 so we know where your heart lies. Okay, So actually 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.240 today is a bit of a tough day for the 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.560 team in sad day in Cowboys Nation, as the Marcus 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.200 Paul Tribute was this morning at ten and the team 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.360 team time kind of took take time off to uh 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:49.760 to um watch and participate in the service virtually obviously 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.720 with the COVID the the couldn't do an in service. 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.040 But difficult day. I don't know, fellas, it's been a 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.480 tough couple of weeks so far. Yesterday was a little 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.760 wonky with with the other game. Now today, but I 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.080 guess this team is probably ready hopeful to get back 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:10.120 on schedule. Yeah, I mean definitely. Uh. And it's you know, 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:15.240 the sad part about it is we live in this 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:21.760 time where I'm sure there are deep, deep relationships that 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.760 was built with players and staff with coach Paul, and 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.640 because these guys are in season and the in the 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:33.240 world that we live in right now, you can't fully 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:38.800 go and pay your respects because that could in you know, 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.440 in reverse, put you in a position to either spread 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:47.440 or contact or contract the COVID um. And you know 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.280 that that's that's a tough one. That's a tough one. 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.440 That's a tough one. But you know, our thoughts and 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.480 our prayers are with the Paul family and the players 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.600 in the organization, of all those who've had a list 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.200 ship with coach Paul. And it's a tough one. Man. 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.880 That that that breaks my heart to even think about 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.520 having to deal with something like that from that scale 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:11.200 of being so close to a person, but in the 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.200 moment where you want to pay the ultimate respect to 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.760 someone as they're going to their rest in place, you 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.760 can't because you're in season and we live in a 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:24.120 COVID COVID driven world right now. But rest in peace, 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:29.240 Coach Paul, We'll see yeah, and yes, Sir McCarthy said, 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.599 last playing last Thursday, he wasn't sure how the team 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.880 was respond and obviously the game didn't turn out like 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.240 you want, but they did put out the heart to 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.279 hustle and all that, and so we hope that again, 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.920 like Jesse said, prayers and thoughts out to that family, 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.840 the Paul family and the Cowboys family. I know the 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.640 players are going through a lot. So but let's get 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:52.000 on to some football here. Um strange day yesterday afternoon 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.360 Wednesday football, did you dial into the watch the next 0:05:55.440 --> 0:06:03.760 Cowboys opponent. I'm looking. Let me say something, man, let 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.920 me say something. If this is an indication and I've 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.840 said this before, if I'm a head coach, you can't 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.920 give me no extra days off talking about we ain't 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.080 fin the practice. Because if yesterday's game in the first 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:23.000 quarter with full turnovers ain't an indication of lack of practice. Wow, 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.680 that was that was ugly, man. I'm listening to it 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:31.040 on serious radio and I'm like, turnover, interception, touchdown, fumble, 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.919 and when we keep talking about, well they just had 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:40.680 they just had another zoom meeting. Okay, all right, you 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:45.160 can't stright here, boy, Jesse. That is not how you 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:49.159 play football, my friend, not this lady. The season. It 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:54.120 is not. It's not. And it was ugly. And I'm 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:58.480 more happy that the Steelers actually won because they have 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.760 been getting the short end of the whole COVID rescheduling stick. Um, 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.919 but I was, I was flipping back and forth, and 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.640 it was it was at times hard to watch. Uh. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.160 But between that and of course Matario taking on the 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:12.960 long Horse was we lost in that game too. The 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.240 Texas long Horse are our daddies. We cannot beat them 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.120 in basketball to save our lives. Um. But yeah, no, 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.760 that that that that and another thing is like to 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.440 watch that game, people like, well, we're gonna get a 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.200 kind of a look of what we're playing against next week. 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.520 And I'm like, no, you won't. Because there were so 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.440 many players that didn't play for Baltimore. That same team 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.560 that you saw yesterday afternoon won't be the same team, 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.640 thank you, that you see when you have to travel 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.000 to Baltimore next week. I'm just telling fans now that 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.200 you won't. Don't. Don't look at that game and say, boy, 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.800 we got a real shot at going No, no, no, 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.080 you don't. You don't, you don't, because you'll have Lamar 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.560 Jackson back, and you'll have a host of other players 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.920 that will be back that you have to deal with 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.240 for four quarters. So you can look at that game 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.440 yesterday and say, you know what, Hey, we got football 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.600 on Wednesday at three thirty. But that team that you 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.520 saw in Baltimore will not be the same team that 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.800 steps on the field. Well, I don't even know when 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.480 the next Tuesday, Wednesday, when we play again Tuesday, next Tuesday. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.520 So so so, Cowboy Fair, don't look at that game 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.400 and think that's who we're gonna play, because it is 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.480 not there. They had nineteen players on the COVID list 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.280 that they'll be getting back next week. Yeah. I wanted 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.920 to ask you guys about that because the team, you know, 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.520 they practiced Wednesday, which is normally the day you start 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.600 you know, putting your game playing and that kind of thing, 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.680 and then then we're all gonna go watch the games. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:39.320 It's position groups, and I know, could they get anything 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.360 out of that? Is there anything they could really gain? 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.599 Or they just are they even watching that game or 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.480 they're gonna have to go back and watch previous Where 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.680 did they watch the game at Kurt and how did 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.760 they watch it? I mean, were they all as symbol 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:56.559 in their respective rooms as with by positions. That's supposedly okay, 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:01.080 because they're in the rooms by position. Linebackers and d 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.559 line got a false look because those ain't the running backs. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:07.040 In the quarterbacks, the safeties, and corners got a false 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.360 look because they're gonna have a better guy playing quarterback. 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.920 I wish I could say they that time would have 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.040 been better spent on the football field, lining up in 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.720 their proper positions in norm way to be and doing 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.920 a limit of banging. I think that would have been 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.840 the better, the better way than see them that watching 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.880 that game, Like Jesse say, because that ain't the game 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:31.040 you're gonna get come next week, I promise you. I 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:35.800 mean I agree with that. Yeah. I think Michael Gallup 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.559 had said that he hoped to get some stuff out 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.760 of the TV, like hearing the communication or something like 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.840 that because the backs. I don't that's realistic. I mean, 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.520 come on, man, we can't even line up on our 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.320 own team and know our own play. Now we're gonna 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.080 try to come on for real? Did he said, don't 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.840 do that? Don't do that, don't do that, Jesse, what 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.920 are you thinking? I mean, how how many games have 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.760 we watched? Every now and again? The most we get 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.040 is we get a couple of cuss words, and we'll 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.360 get an omaha, or we'll get a holly berry, or 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.240 we'll get something like that. But you're not here. You're 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:17.400 not seeing, you're not hearing. I think that was the case. 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.439 Every team would watch the game on on on the 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:27.800 TV copy if they picking up signals and calls, right, 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.280 that's the case. If I can hear a call, everybody like, no, 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.200 what do we need all twenty two? For give me 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.760 the TV copy? Right in between when when Collinsworth says 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.480 when he stopped talking, I'm hearing the call. No, Like 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.959 I get you here every now and again. You hear 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.440 you know, you hear the quarterback, you know, fifty five 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.320 to mic or you know I D fifty two and 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.079 you'll hear, you know, hey, holly Berry, holly Berry, kill 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.640 kill kill. Other than that, you're not You can't hear 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.880 the defensive call. So I don't know what Michael Gallup 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.559 was watching. Maybe he might have had it on. I'm 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.360 gonna be honest with you, if they were you said 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:00.840 they were in there was back the ruin because if 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.360 they were at home, that that game was probably on 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.440 the background noise while they were playing whatever PS five 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.840 or Xbox sixteen, whatever came out in next. Because there's 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.600 nothing nothing you picking up as far as audible wise, 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.959 that you're gonna pick up from watching the TV copy. Yeah, 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:23.760 better watching Madden and watching Lamar run for real in 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:28.160 a typical week, though, how many games back would you scout? 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.120 Would you over like if as wide received four games 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:35.800 back or wow, and you hope that it's a loss 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.400 in there. You hope that it's a loss in there, 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.079 a tight game in there, and a win, and that 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.560 you you hope that you can get those three things 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.360 because you want to see how your guy reacts in 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.199 a bad situation. You hope that's you see some struggle 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:54.959 in those games as well as some success. Would they 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.880 put it like, say they were on a six game 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.640 losing streak, would they go back and look at the 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:04.640 law from from previous that makes sense? Yeah, I don't 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.199 understand that question. I don't like you said, they usually 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.520 do four games, so what if they had won their 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.800 last four or five? Would they go back and look 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.280 at you know, even further back to look. Look. Some 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.880 coaches will, some players would, some players are smart enough 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.839 to do that, but most coaches they'll take a look 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.960 because they want to see. You want to see a 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.319 team when they're up high, and you want to see 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.800 a team when they when they struggling. They ain't necessarily 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.600 a loss. Just like yesterday coach Thomla called his team 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.560 a JV team. Well, I would want to look at 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.080 that film just to see what went on if I 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:37.920 was getting ready to play these Stilers, even though they 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.120 lost and it was more than four games, I would 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.120 just like to see how that game went and what 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:47.400 made them feel that way. And and depending on like 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:51.760 your opponent, um like for a coach, right, I may 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.720 go back and watch more than four games and try 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.920 to find if there are some specific plays like hey, 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.560 let's just keep an eye out, you know, a alert 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.880 for this player. Now they did this earlier in the 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:07.360 season to a team that's similar to us. So you're 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.800 trying to find where are the similarities to the opponent 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.440 that you're playing, whether that be offensively or defensively. But 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.280 you also want to know, all right, what are their 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:19.920 recent trends because most teams they may dig back in 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.440 the crate for a player two, and you hope that 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.400 you're prepared for that player too. But they only go 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.520 four games back because you're you're you're building and you're 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.360 installing every single week for the opponent that you're playing. 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.840 So it's kind of almost what are they doing in 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.480 the recent weeks and the last month, um, you know, 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:43.400 because we're we're a week eleven now, yeah, the roster. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.960 The roster isn't the same for week one, right, Guys 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.200 are hurt, Guys are injured. So you go back and 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.520 that kind of almost sometimes gives you a false sense 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.240 of what they are right now. The last four games 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:58.000 give you a more realistic picture of who you're playing today. 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.560 And you take a game like Baltimore, take a little 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.040 bit of that yesterday because there's some pieces that you 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.319 can get out of that. But then you look for 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.599 the last couple games and say, all right, this is 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.920 what they normally do, you know, formation set ups, stuff 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:16.920 like that, where for the offensive side, to be honest 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:22.600 with you, Kurt defenses doesn't they don't change that much, right, 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.560 There's only so certain way you can run a cover 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.440 two or Cover four or cover three whatever. But it's 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.600 when they run them, it's who they run them with. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.200 It's trying to pick up those little things through out 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:33.800 of it. But a cover three is a cover three. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.920 And you know what a team is going to be, 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.800 their foundation, their core is before the game starts. Hey, listen, guys, 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.400 this team is a primarily quarters team. They're gonna run 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.720 quarters seventy five percent at the time. But when they 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.080 do decide the blitz or they when you know who's blitzing, 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.920 those are more the key indicators. Hey, they like the 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.480 blitz when they're up fourteen, Hey, when they get this 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.640 into the field. You know, the last four game they 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.560 show they're bringing pressure from this side with this guy. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.520 So just you know, keep it in the back of 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:03.880 your mind when you get in there for the third 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.880 quarter they're up seven. Just no, here, this is coming. 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.600 This is going to come eventually. If this is the situation, 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.200 we can't get into it more later. But was there 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:17.240 anything that gave you hope facing this Ravens defense. I mean, 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.080 they only allowed Pittsburgh nineteen points and six of those 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:26.000 came on an interception. No, no, no, I'm gonna tell 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:31.000 you why. I'mna tell you why. Okay, we already and 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.960 it just just Nate talking. There's not no coach of stats. Hunh. 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.440 We already conceded that we can't run the ball. We 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.880 already we're not gonna run the ball. Okay, if you're 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.040 not gonna run against this team or try to make them, 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.840 stay honest and Kala's camera and that group can pen 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:51.080 their ears back. This game over. They got nice dbs, 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.040 even though Jimmy Smith got a little banged up. They 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:58.000 got nice dbs and they coming so and theyre will 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:02.560 blitz and then would get pressure packages that that will 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.200 show blitz and back off and give you a lot 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.080 of coverage. So this is the team Jesse's talking about. 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.880 Don't let this. These dudes are legit. Their defense is legit. 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.720 And if you're not, if you don't have the heart 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.280 and the stamina to try to fake it, these dudes 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:25.440 with the run, they will punish you. That's no. And 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.600 when when you look at this team, where what is 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.560 our We have three? I mean you only got two achilles, 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.080 but we got three achilles heels, right, we don't stop 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.280 to run. Well, well, you're about to get a load 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:40.600 of JK. Dobbins and uh mark Ingram right, Uh, we 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.240 don't cover the backs out of the backfield, so you 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:47.920 know JK. Dobbins mark ingram Gus Johnson, and then we 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.680 struggle with tight ends. Well, get ready, that's Lamar Jackson's 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.880 favorite target, Andrews and the rest of that crew, the 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.640 three the three Achilles heels that we truly struggle with 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.640 as far as the defense, you know, and standing in 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.600 our alignment in Simon Lanes and add Lamar Jackson to 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:08.560 that mix. Well, hell, what are we gonna do? You know? Oh, 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.520 this is this is another one of those games where 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.240 a team that's been kind of ailing and trying to 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.560 get things on track. Uh, they've come to the Dallas 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:22.200 Cowboys pharmacy, you know, the doctor order saying I'll tell 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.040 you like this, what you asked about our defense of 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:29.160 their defense? Was it our defense? Yeah? Well I think 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:35.160 um I asked about their defense? Okay, yeah, okay, okay, yeah, okay, yeah, 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.639 Because I when Jesse went into that spiel right there, 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:39.920 I'm like, oh my god, I'm on the wrong page. 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.880 I'm not listening. Well, but you know, I'm gonna tell 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:45.879 you something, fellas. It's gonna be tough both sides of 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:50.720 the ball. Yeah, you're you're you're you're talking about a 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.399 coaching staff that Jesse has repeatedly said, they they they 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:59.399 core team is in place, and they they're they're missing weeks. 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:03.120 Ain't like our guys missing weeks. We got a new 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:07.280 defensive coordinator who's just recently got guys to start leaving 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:12.600 in what he's trying to do. And and now they 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:18.280 haven't practice. You know that that that that's that's not 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.280 gonna that's not And maybe they and maybe they have 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:25.520 enough fresh legs to overcome that lack of practice. Maybe 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.240 they do. Maybe they have him knowledge of the defense 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.560 to overcome that. I just don't see it, even though 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.520 I'm not big on Lamar and where he's at in 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.120 his progression as a as a as a as a quarterback. 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.280 Because if I'm the Dallas Cowboys, I know my back 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.959 end defensively as weak. But I had nine guys on 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:49.119 the line. Chill me, you can throw all right, Well, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:50.760 let's take a break here. Maybe I got a couple 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:55.240 more defensive related questions I'll ask you when we get back. Um, 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.639 I guess I don't need to throw out any more sponsors. Um, 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.760 that's it, Chris Dallas up. We'll be right on hanging 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:06.119 with the boys. Is your family a Cowboys family?

All right, Okay, I got a couple of 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:05.800 defensive related questions for you and Nate. You kind of 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:07.720 hit it on it in the break there. I think 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.480 the Cowboys were really starting to look good on defense 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:16.119 against the run. They held Petsburgh pretty well, they held Minute. 0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:19.400 They did pretty solid against Minnesota, considering well, actually Minnesota 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:21.360 racked up the yards, but you know, they won the game. 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:24.080 They got the stops when they needed to, and then 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.199 Washington just torched them. They just couldn't stop anything, and 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:30.160 some of the the you know, the bloggers out there 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:33.200 and some of the stats folks you know, pointed out 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:35.680 film where they weren't filling gaps, and you know, it 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:38.960 was just what happened. But the players just not paying 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:42.760 attention was a bad scheming. I talked to Bucky Brooks, 0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:48.080 one of our own now and Tar Hill and Bucky 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:52.160 Brooks me and Bill was talking. Bill Jones was talking, said, man, 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:54.960 did you see when the kid ran for thirty seven 0:22:55.000 --> 0:23:00.280 yards that they had a dime look out there? You know, wait, 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.679 a running back ramp for thirty seven yards? You know 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:06.439
