Speaker 2: It's time for the Break.

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: On Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 5: We were on.

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: Right with Ambar Garcia.

13
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: Brian brought us, Patrick Walker and Derek Eagleton.

14
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 6: Hello, guys, welcome back to another episode of The Break

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 6: I am hosting today. Derek said, Hey, if the team

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 6: didn't show up to Buffalo, why do I have to

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 6: show up to work today? No, just kidding, he did

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 6: not say that, but he'll be back tomorrow and we'll

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 6: get into the big picture NFL team since the Cowboys

20
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 6: have spotting the playoffs. But to start off the show,

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 6: I wanted to let you guys do an opening statement

22
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 6: and a quick venting session before we take a deep

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 6: dive and try to figure out exactly what went ron

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 6: and what happened. Where did they mess up in that

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 6: tough loss against Buffalo? Sir Patrick vented.

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 7: Away, they put a gun to their foot and kept

27
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 7: pulling the trigger is what they did. And I mean,

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 7: for me, it's a domino effect that all leads to

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 7: three or four particular items. And we can talk about

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 7: the officiating, but I won't because it is what it

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 7: is at this point. But when you talk about four

32
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 7: critical penalties that helped decide the rest of the game,

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 7: three of those being personal files. Three of those personal

34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 7: files coming on three of the first four offensive drives

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 7: by the Bills. It basically spotted them eighteen of their

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 7: first twenty one points, made it a twenty one to

37
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 7: three game on the road, hostile territory with although whether

38
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 7: they participate. As the game went on, rain started to happen,

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 7: so you know, the passing game wasn't going to be

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 7: there for you, but you were in a twenty one

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 7: to three hole. You did get an opportunity to answer

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 7: their first touchdown on their first offensive drive, Dak miss

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 7: Is on the deep shot to Cooks. That's a seven

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 7: to seven tie if it happens.

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: It didn't.

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 7: They did recover nicely and kind of move down the field,

47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 7: but then what do you get. You get a holding

48
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 7: penalty on Tyler Smith that ultimately put you in a

49
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 7: third and fourteen, and then protection issues showed up and

50
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 7: they stayed there for the rest of the game as

51
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 7: far as what your old line was not able to

52
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 7: do against guys like ed Oliver and Phillips who basically

53
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 7: lived in Dak Prescott's personal space. So and then that

54
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 7: forced a punch, so you didn't get any points off

55
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 7: of that. So everything just kind of tail spun from there.

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 7: But I point back if you look at the nucleus

57
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 7: of everything that happened, I look at those four penalties

58
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 7: in that first quarter or so, and that's the tale

59
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 7: of the game for me.

60
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 8: This defense, when they have to deal with offensive lines

61
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 8: that are committed to running the football, is a problem

62
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 8: for them, and it usually stems from the fact that

63
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 8: your offense. Your offense puts a lot of pressure on

64
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 8: the opponent's defense to have to play in a game.

65
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 8: And when they score points and they make it very difficult,

66
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 8: they make teams very one dimensional. And the Cowboys struggle

67
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 8: really mightily when they have.

68
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: To deal with teams that.

69
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 8: You know will keep pace with them or find a

70
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 8: way to get it doesn't happen very often, but if

71
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 8: the Cowboys offense isn't firing, it hurts their defense because

72
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 8: now you get teams like Buffalo. Buffalo was committed to

73
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 8: running the football yesterday. Buffalo realized early in this game that,

74
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 8: you know, the poll schemes that they were able to run.

75
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 8: We saw a little bit of that when teams Carolina

76
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 8: did it, Arizona did it. Teams have had some success

77
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 8: running the ball against Dallas, the forty nine ers doing it.

78
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 8: When they have to deal with teams that poll offensive lineman,

79
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 8: they'll double your best players and then all of a sudden,

80
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 8: now they're putting big blockers on smaller defenders, and that's

81
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 8: a big problem for the Cowboys having to deal with that.

82
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 8: You know, it was a it was a you know,

83
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 8: they take advantage of the Dallas defense and the aggressiveness

84
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 8: in which they play with. You know, they want to

85
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 8: get up the field, they want to attack. But when

86
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 8: you're dealing with you and you're having to cover for

87
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 8: your lack of linebacker depth or your linebackers that you've lost,

88
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 8: you don't have the size to sit in there and

89
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 8: play toe to toe. And what happens is you get

90
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 8: blockers to get up on smaller players and then all

91
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 8: of a sudden, you have a little bit of a

92
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 8: retreat or you can't.

93
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: Get off the blocks, or when you get off the blocks,

94
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: then you miss on tackle.

95
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 8: And you know, there were several times in that game

96
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 8: yesterday where they had a chance to make a stop

97
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 8: for a you know, a short game, didn't do it,

98
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 8: missed a.

99
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: Tackle along the way.

100
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 8: But in my opinion, all of this really starts with

101
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 8: your offense, though, because your offense puts so much pressure

102
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 8: on the opponent to take them out of that running

103
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 8: game and allow them to do what Dallas does best,

104
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 8: and that's rushed the passer. They ever got to that point,

105
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 8: Buffalo had no intent of throwing the football yesterday, and

106
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 8: it wasn't to do anything with the weather. It's just

107
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 8: that James Cook and their offensive line and their tight

108
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 8: ends did a great job of attacking this Dallas defense

109
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 8: up front and getting those big blockers on the lighter

110
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 8: linebackers who are having to play in roles now because

111
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 8: of various injuries throughout the year. So if you getting

112
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 8: games where it's pretty similar, you know, if again opponents

113
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 8: find a way to stay in the game or stay

114
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 8: ahead or get ahead, you're going to have to deal

115
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 8: with a lot more running game. That's just the way people.

116
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 8: People are terrified of playing you and your pass rush.

117
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 8: So the best way to get around that is, and

118
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 8: if you're good enough to do it, and Buffalo was

119
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 8: good enough yesterday. The way that they played defense against

120
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 8: Dallas's offense, you know, they took Dallas completely. They said,

121
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 8: we don't have to throw, we don't even have to

122
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 8: you know, scoring for us is you know, we're okay.

123
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 8: Now if we just run the ball, then we'll be fine.

124
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 8: And that's what they did and I applaud them for

125
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 8: doing that, but that that the pulling scheme is a

126
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 8: problem for the Cowboys just because of the players that

127
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 8: they have in place, just cannot handle having a play

128
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 8: toe to toe that way.

129
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 6: Well, let's talk about let's talk more about the Cowboys defense,

130
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 6: and you mentioned the run, and the trending topic right

131
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 6: now is size, the size of the defensive players. We

132
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 6: know that Jonathan Hankins he was out, but regardless of

133
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 6: even if he was in, I feel like the game

134
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 6: would have played out pretty much how he did in

135
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 6: my opinion, because there were so many things that went

136
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 6: wrong for the Cowboys. But as far as size, when

137
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 6: you talk about they don't have the right size to

138
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 6: match up against some of these run heavy type of offenses.

139
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 8: How do you, well, you have to be you have

140
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 8: to be you have to be committed. Buffalo was committed

141
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 8: to run in the football yesterday because, like you say,

142
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 8: there was no reason for them not to run the football.

143
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: And James Cooks a cook, did a heck of a job.

144
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 8: There was some stuff that was taking care of that

145
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 8: their defense, and then all of a sudden, he cuts

146
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 8: the ball back, you know, and they're not there. The

147
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 8: sizes is an issue just because they're trying to get

148
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 8: around not having enough players. They they you know, you

149
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 8: lose over shown you. You know, you lose a vander Esh,

150
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 8: you lose size at linebacker. You know Clark, you know,

151
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 8: Clark is a second year player. Could he play better,

152
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 8: Sure he can. There's times where he has played better.

153
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 8: They just don't have that ability that that when you

154
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 8: get into a game where all of a sudden you

155
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 8: have to deal with blockers, and those blockers when they

156
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 8: get up on second level. And it happened a bunch

157
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 8: in that game yesterday where all of a sudden you

158
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 8: got guys like Bell and Clark and Curse and Wilson

159
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 8: and everybody's fighting blocks. They're fighting three hundred pounders coming

160
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 8: around the corner, you know, And now they're dealing with that.

161
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: What you what you're gonna do?

162
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 8: You can retreat and then you try and avoid and

163
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 8: by that time the ball's passed and it's eight yard game.

164
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: You know, size is a problem.

165
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 8: But they really don't don't have an answer currently on

166
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 8: the roster to be able to take care of that.

167
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 8: They get away with it because opponents are always behind

168
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 8: and people talk about that. You know there are a

169
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 8: team Dallas as a team built to play with the lead.

170
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 8: Well they really, they really are. They rush the passer

171
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 8: better than anybody in the league. You know, that's an issue.

172
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 8: And so what happens when you get somebody that doesn't

173
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 8: feel threatened on the scoreboard, They're going to keep running

174
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 8: the football at you. And the size is an issue,

175
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 8: but they're having to do it because they don't have

176
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 8: any other answers to be able to take care of

177
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 8: how to play the scheme.

178
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 6: Is there any type of halftime adjustment that dan Quinn

179
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 6: could have made.

180
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 7: No, because the game had already gotten away from them,

181
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 7: and when you look at the context of where they

182
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 7: were playing and then the rain started to come in

183
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 7: the second half, you're already down big. You can't pass

184
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 7: the ball because the rain is starting to come down.

185
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 7: They're not going to pass the ball because the rain

186
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 7: is coming and they don't have to.

187
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: They're using James Cook to bully you and to eat clock.

188
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: You know.

189
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 7: They won title possession by ten minutes, almost ten football minutes.

190
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 7: Your defense is getting gassed, it's getting tired, it's getting

191
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 7: beat up. Your offense can't get anything going because it

192
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 7: can't pass. But it has to pass. But your offensive

193
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 7: line is not holding up up front. Pressure is coming left,

194
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 7: right and in the interior. There was nothing that you

195
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 7: can do once that train went off of the rails

196
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 7: as far as halftime adjustments or concerned. Once that game

197
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 7: got away in the late first quarter, in the second quarter,

198
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 7: Cowboys were just along for the.

199
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: Ride at that point. They were just a long sing.

200
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 9: You know.

201
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 8: And Patrick makes a really good point about that. I mean,

202
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 8: to me, when you look at Dallas's adjustment was to

203
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 8: try and move the front. And even when they angled

204
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 8: or or stemmed or stunted the front, and I mean

205
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 8: not stem but stem would be moving before it snap,

206
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 8: but they stunt, so they moved. They're trying to they

207
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 8: move guys to the gap on the snap and then

208
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 8: try and fill. Well, then all of a sudden they

209
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 8: move and then they get pushed wide. And now the

210
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 8: filler meets tackle, you know, offensive tackle, pull in right there,

211
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 8: kick out. Now you don't have a fill player. Now

212
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 8: you're already wide. Now you got guys pin to the inside.

213
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 8: It was it was a it was a clinic on

214
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 8: running the football yesterday of how to and again Quinn

215
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 8: was trying he you know, I'll tell you what though,

216
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 8: the majority of the of successful runs that Buffalo had

217
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 8: yesterday in the seven man box what they call neutral.

218
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: So if you go in.

219
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 8: And you check and you look at the analytics on it,

220
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 8: it's neutral. Most of their runs were with neutral box seven.

221
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 8: Could you put eight in there?

222
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: Sure?

223
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 8: He could have he you know, and maybe that that

224
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 8: might have been the answer, and maybe that's the answer

225
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 8: going forward. But then then now you kind of alter

226
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 8: things in the back end. Does Dallas have somebody you know,

227
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 8: do they trust anybody on the back end? No, hooker,

228
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 8: do they trust anybody covering? You know, So all of

229
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 8: a sudden they're thinking, like, we got to play coverage

230
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 8: probably for Hooker on the back end. We can't commit

231
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 8: the extra guy down in the box. So now now

232
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 8: You're in a little bit of a bind right there,

233
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 8: so he tried to adjust. It's just I tell you,

234
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 8: Buffalo's defense had a hell of a game yesterday too.

235
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 8: When you look at the way that they played Dak,

236
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 8: you know, they didn't allow Dak a lot of fore

237
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 8: man rush. When the blitzes came. We talked about last

238
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 8: week slot blitz. It was a safety blitz that came

239
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 8: in there. They picked up a couple of different times.

240
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 8: But there were times where they had five guys underneath

241
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 8: and then you know, two guys deep, you know, that

242
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 8: four man rush, five under two deep, and then sometimes

243
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 8: they went four under three deep, you know, and they

244
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 8: just they mixed that coverage through out, and the Cowboys

245
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 8: were trying to run routes into that, and you know,

246
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 8: like Patrick's talking about, all of a sudden, you're dealing

247
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 8: with pressure and you can't you can't find the guys,

248
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 8: you know, all of a sudden, it's that they kind

249
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 8: of clogging it making it look difficult for you.

250
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: They did a hell of a job, really did.

251
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 8: I mean, if Dallas could have just run the football

252
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 8: the higher entire game, if Dallas would have got.

253
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: They're gonna win that game.

254
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 8: Because the way Pollard was running the football, they had

255
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 8: an ant for Buffalo's defense. Came running the come running

256
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 8: the ball, and Buffalo is probably like, we're okay with that.

257
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 8: It's the throwing that terrifies us. It's the big plays

258
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 8: that terrify us. You know, they did a great job

259
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 8: of limiting what Dallas was doing on offense, but they

260
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 8: were also said, yeah, if you want to run the ball, fine,

261
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 8: but we're going to you know, they felt like that

262
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 8: them running the football was what helped them. Their defense

263
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 8: got a huge help by the way that their offense

264
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 8: played by holding the ball and running and running the

265
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 8: way they did the drives that they had.

266
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: It was.

267
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 7: It was the complimentary football from Buffalo that you've seen

268
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 7: the last several weeks with Dallas. And when you talk

269
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 7: about Buffalo's defense and how well they played, and yes

270
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 7: they did play damn well. They only out of what

271
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 7: fifty seven defensive snaps, they only blit six times. Yeah,

272
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 7: that means that when you equate that to the amount

273
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 7: of pressure in the times they got intack Prescott's personal

274
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 7: space and got handled him, that means the Bills were

275
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 7: winning the one to one matchups up front and that

276
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 7: was before Zach Martin left the game the quad injury,

277
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 7: so it only got and Bass.

278
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: He was solid at times.

279
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 7: But at the same time, if Zach Martin is struggling

280
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 7: against this front, then you got to know that TJ.

281
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 7: Bass is going to struggle as well. So because the

282
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 7: Bills were winning the front four, I mean they dropped

283
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 7: back and zone almost ninety percent of the time. But

284
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 7: it doesn't matter because the pressure is there, right, and

285
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 7: then you mix in the blitz here or blitz there.

286
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 7: But it wasn't a ton of blitz's. It was just

287
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 7: the fact that the Cowboys offensive line they were losing

288
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 7: their one on ones consistently.

289
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: Time and time again.

290
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 7: And when you're down big, and you're down big on

291
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 7: the road and now it's starting the rain, they're just

292
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 7: teeing off.

293
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: Now they're just teeing off. They want you to drop

294
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: back and pass.

295
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, Pollock started to Pollock was pretty solid because they

296
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 7: couldn't do much. But at the same time, then they

297
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 7: didn't care. It's twenty one to three. We don't care.

298
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 7: Run the ball because when we get the ball, if

299
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 7: you're the Bills, when we get the ball, we're gonna

300
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 7: run it and we're gonna keep running it, and the

301
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 7: clock's gonna start taking and the pressure is gonna start

302
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 7: getting on you because you're gonna say, oh, we're running

303
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 7: out of time.

304
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: So guess what you're gonna do?

305
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 7: Five step drop, seven step drop, sack pressure hit hurry

306
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 7: they dek Prescott said yesterday they got beat by the formula.

307
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 7: He's absolutely correct, they got beat by the formula.

308
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 6: Well, let's go ahead and take our first break. When

309
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 6: we come back, we'll keep dissecting some of the things

310
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 6: that happen, and while we're rung offensively.

311
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 10: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

312
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 10: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

313
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 10: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

314
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,440

00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 6: Thank you, Brian, Welcome back to the second segment of

367
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 6: the Break presented by blockchain dot Com. There we go.

368
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 6: So we still have to talk about penalties, playing, calling

369
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 6: road games and all of that. But before I wanted

370
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 6: to ask you more, talk more about the offense. You know,

371
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 6: you mentioned the rain and we know it was raining,

372
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 6: and yeah, that was a factor. But let's say the

373
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 6: first half of the game it wasn't raining. The rain

374
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 6: was gone, and I thought, okay, well, then that gives

375
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 6: you the possibility to explore the passing game and take

376
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 6: good use of that because they've been so good and

377
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 6: coming off three home game winning streak, that's good, scoring

378
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 6: lots of points. Where was exactly the disconnect? Everything seemed

379
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 6: that they weren't on time, Dak wasn't in sync with

380
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 6: the receivers. So where was the major disconnect on everything

381
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 6: that was going wrong on the offense.

382
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 7: Well, for me, and again you can't blame the weather,

383
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 7: but not even but you can't blame the weather, The

384
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 7: fact is they were just not connecting like they should have.

385
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 7: We talked in the first segment about that overthrow to Cooks.

386
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 7: Cooks has his guy toasted. Yeah, he's absolutely smoked. And

387
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 7: if that ball can get you know, dropped in there,

388
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 7: and we've seen Dak drop that in there before, but

389
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 7: he didn't drop it in there. Then that's seven to

390
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 7: seven tie. That's a fantastic answer to the opening drive

391
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 7: that you had a personal file on that gave them

392
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 7: four more points that they shouldn't have had. But you

393
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 7: don't get that, and then what do you get on

394
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 7: that drive?

395
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: Yellow flag?

396
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 7: It's a penalty. It's holding on Tyler Smith. Which for

397
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 7: as magnificent as Tyler Smith has been at left guard,

398
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 7: he's drawn some holding penalties this season as well, and

399
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 7: some of those, a lot of those have been drive killers,

400
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 7: and this particular one turned into a drive killer because

401
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 7: it forced them into a third and thirteen, third and

402
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 7: fourteen and Bills, who were already you know, getting ramped up,

403
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 7: getting pressure up front, they went and got Dak Prescott

404
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 7: forced them into a punt. Second offensive drive. You basically

405
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 7: starred on that one fair catch and then play action

406
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 7: passed the Cooks. That was almost an interception that told

407
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 7: you right there that this was not going to be

408
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 7: a good passing day for Dak Prescott in the offense.

409
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 7: A couple plays later, third and ten, he gets pressured,

410
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 7: he escaped, but it was incomplete. It was lost on

411
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 7: the pressure fourth and ten, you're punting that ball. So

412
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 7: at that point point, now what happens. The Bills come in,

413
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 7: they score again with more assistance from a penalty personal foul,

414
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 7: and again at that point, it just started coming off

415
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 7: the rails and the Cowboys were just along for the ride.

416
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 6: Then, well, penalties. This is a problem and an issue

417
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 6: that goes all the way back to last year. I

418
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 6: feel like we always always have to talk about penalties

419
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 6: and not the discipline enough, and it came down to

420
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 6: this game where they had huge penalties that cost them.

421
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 6: I would I forgot the total of points that it

422
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 6: would have led to had they not had those penalties.

423
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 6: I said that wrong, but you get what I mean.

424
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 3: The point is sixteen.

425
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was eighteen.

426
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 7: First, to take eighteen points away, that was the teen

427
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 7: points away and then take them away from put them

428
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 7: in the context of when they happened. Right, So if

429
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 7: you take those eighteen points away of those twenty one,

430
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 7: then even with the Cowboys.

431
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: Mistakes, it's a three to three game.

432
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 7: It's a massive swing in momentum and potential for the

433
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 7: Bills and the Cowboys. And again we could argue I

434
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 7: do believe the foul on Tank was tiki tack But okay,

435
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 7: you know, don't extend your arms like that, Yeah, Josh Flott,

436
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 7: but he don't extend your arms like that.

437
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: If you're Tank.

438
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 6: I don't know what else did Jay.

439
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 7: Ron curse penalty? Wholly disagree, like, let them play football.

440
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 7: He didn't lower his head. Should he allow him to

441
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 7: catch the ball. But I don't want to get off

442
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 7: onto a tangent as far as officiating, because the officials,

443
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 7: although they were questionable, they're questionable every week. That's why

444
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 7: I say it is what it is in that capacity.

445
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 7: But when it comes to the Cowboys, that holding penalty

446
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 7: and Tyler that's a true penalty. That's holding the Sam

447
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 7: Williams penalty. It should have been fifteen, should have been five.

448
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: That's an argument. However, it's still a penalty.

449
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 7: So you don't go on the road and win with

450
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 7: self inflicted wounds that award the other team eighteen points

451
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 7: before the second quarter, middle of the second quarter gets underway.

452
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 7: You're going to lose those games, especially against top tier teams,

453
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 7: especially against top tier teams who are fighting for a

454
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 7: playoff spot. You have to play clean football, and that's

455
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 7: the biggest discreens up and see between what the Cowboys

456
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 7: do at home. They're penalized at home, but it's more

457
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 7: forgivable at home because you're not dealing with as many

458
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 7: elements working against you at home. When you're on the road,

459
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 7: the margin of ra razor thin, so you can't have

460
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 7: those mistakes, and they had them, so they got walked.

461
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 3: I wish Mike would have challenged the fumble.

462
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: He said, good quote, A good point.

463
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 8: I mean I know that he didn't challenge it. I

464
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 8: would have considered using a timeout. That's just that's that's

465
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 8: the one. I'm not asking you to throw the flag.

466
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 8: I'm asking you to use a time out and give

467
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 8: your guys upstairs an opportunity to look at it perfectly,

468
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 8: you know, because to me, it's at that point in

469
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 8: time the game is really not going well for you. You

470
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 8: need something to maybe swing it the other way. The

471
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 8: block punt could have swung it the other way. Matter

472
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 8: of fact, Dallas could have blocked two punts in this game,

473
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 8: you know, And I think that's why Bones went for

474
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 8: it on the second one. I mean, they get they

475
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 8: get Williams home. Obviously we all have seen that. But

476
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 8: I wish Mike would have thought about using a timeout

477
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 8: in that situation. Even even if it's just too you

478
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 8: burn a time out, and I get it, it's timeouts

479
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 8: are valuable. But to me, that's the point in time

480
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 8: of the game where you're kind of like going, whoa, whoa, whoa.

481
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 8: We see it in NBA and basketball or college basketball.

482
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 8: They will call timeouts to stop runs. You know, if

483
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 8: somebody feels like that the game is getting out of

484
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 8: hand or somebody's coming back on you, you will burn

485
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 8: a time out to stop the flow of the game.

486
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 8: And I think Mike missed an opportunity to slop to stop.

487
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 3: The flow of the game.

488
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 8: That clearly his guys up stears could have gotten a

489
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 8: look that could have said, Mike challenges, We're going to

490
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 8: get this ball back right there. And so it was

491
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 8: unfortunate right there. But that's the flow of things that

492
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 8: happened in the game. When Dallas loses, things like this

493
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 8: tend to happen to them.

494
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: You know, they don't.

495
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 8: Play really good great run defense, they get affected by

496
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 8: dropping seven in coverage, they don't get a block punt,

497
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 8: they get penalties, you know, I mean, they haven't had

498
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 8: a whole hell of a lot of these, but one

499
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 8: thing right there, Mike could have maybe affected the game

500
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 8: in a way that could have turned it into his

501
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 8: team's favorite.

502
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 3: They let it go.

503
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 8: And that's the unfortunate thing with with happened sometimes.

504
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: Which is no different from and everything you laid out.

505
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 7: The more you laid that out, Brian, the more I

506
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 7: started to half flashbacks of Philadelphia, how the game win

507
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 7: in Philadelphia. You get, you know, you get the force fumble,

508
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 7: but it bounces back in their favor. Swift drops the

509
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 7: ball fumble, but it bounces back under him, Dak steps

510
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 7: out of bounce. Schoolmaker's need is one inch too short

511
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 7: holding penalty or false start I'm sorry, false start on

512
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 7: the potential game winning drive that ended up you know,

513
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 7: driving you back when you were right there and you

514
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 7: know range the score. So it goes to the overarching

515
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 7: point of the overarching point of when you're on the road,

516
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 7: you can't make as many mistakes. When you're on the

517
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 7: road against a good team, that margin becomes that much smaller.

518
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 7: You got to play down near perfect football, and the

519
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 7: Cowboys were far from that. And that's why you see

520
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 7: how they lost against the Bills. You see the loss

521
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 7: against Philadelphia, And although the one in Week five is

522
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 7: different from these two, I would still argue because there

523
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 7: was no competitive fire in Santa Claus still goes to

524
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 7: the fact that when you're on the road, you better

525
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 7: you better man up and play clean football and execute.

526
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 7: And in these three losses on the road against top

527
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 7: tier teams, it's because you did not you were sloppy

528
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 7: and or you didn't compete as you should have. And

529
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 7: then you look at what happened with the Bills. I mean,

530
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 7: they allowed James Cook to rack up more yardage than

531
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 7: anyone since Todd Gurley did it in the twenty seventeen.

532
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 8: Very reminiscent of that playoff game against the Rams way back,

533
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 8: you know, with when Dak, when the first couple of

534
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 8: years Dak was in the league. And yeah, I mean

535
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 8: to me it I came out of the game thinking

536
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 8: that Dallas just got physically beat up. When you watch

537
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 8: the tape of the runs and stuff like cooked a

538
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 8: really nice vision. Vision was incredible, and but their blocking

539
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 8: scheme was on point yesterday with the way that they

540
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 8: were able to get on guys, and it it wasn't

541
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 8: like you've kind of felt like, okay, they just dominated.

542
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 8: But when you get guys that are pulling, and you

543
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 8: get double teams and get guys pinned to one side,

544
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 8: and you get guys trying to you know, fill and

545
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 8: they can't get there, or you know, they have some

546
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 8: confusion of like, oh, you're supposed to be that, I'm

547
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 8: supposed to be here, and then all of a sudden

548
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 8: they run the ball right to that spot. You know,

549
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 8: those are the types of things like Patrick's talking about.

550
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 8: When you play on the road, you just can't have that,

551
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 8: you know, you just can't have that. They didn't get

552
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 8: beat up, but they that the scheme that the offensive

553
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 8: scheme for Buffalo was outstanding running the football, and their

554
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 8: defensive scheme the way that they defended Dak was even better.

555
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 7: Josh Allen was seven to fifteen ninety four yards with

556
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 7: one touch down and the Cowboys lost thirty one to ten.

557
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, figured, it's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. But back to Mike McCarthy,

558
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 6: other than him not calling a time out or throwing up, I.

559
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 8: Wish we should just call the time out to look

560
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 8: at it.

561
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean yeah.

562
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: If you challenge it, I get it.

563
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 8: You don't want to waste to challenge. But at that

564
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 8: point time you are reeling you need to do something different.

565
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, and we all agree on that. But other than

566
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 6: that moment, how would you guys evaluate his play calling

567
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 6: in that game?

568
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 8: They didn't I tell you what though. To me, it

569
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 8: didn't have the It didn't have the it didn't have

570
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 8: the look of a team that had the options that

571
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 8: they had in that game. Usually with Dallas, when you

572
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 8: watch them play, you see a lot of really cool

573
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 8: route combinations. The best route combination that they had in

574
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 8: that game yesterday was the one that went the Cooks

575
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 8: that was incomplete. They had another one where actually Dallas

576
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 8: the corner route to Ceedee Lamb that went for like

577
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 8: sixteen yards near the sidelines. Tolbert's got to run faster.

578
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 8: I've seen Tolbert run faster to clear that guy. That

579
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 8: should have been a clean catch that shouldn't even been contested.

580
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 8: If Tolbert takes off running, he's carrying Taylor rap out

581
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 8: of there and it's just a clean catch for CD

582
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 8: steps out of balance.

583
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 3: Okay, but you look at that.

584
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 8: The best route combination they had yesterday was the one

585
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 8: that they missed the Cooks. I mean it was lamb across.

586
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 8: All of a sudden rap comes up. Now you have

587
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 8: no safety in the middle of the field. That's what

588
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 8: I'm used to seeing with the Dallas Cowboys.

589
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: It just seemed very much.

590
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: Week one, week two, week three.

591
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 3: Kind of offense yesterday. And maybe that's.

592
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 8: Because the Buffalo Bills were not allowing you to do

593
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 8: anything that you normally do. You know, we've seen we've

594
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 8: seen Dak deal with the deal with teams. They've dropped

595
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 8: people into coverage, you know, and then and then if

596
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 8: you're getting pressure, it makes it doesn't make it any easier,

597
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 8: you know, to have to deal with that. There was

598
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 8: one time that they ran arout. Uh what sack was

599
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 8: it they had? It might have been the well, the

600
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 8: sack by Phillips. They missed the twist stunt, but the

601
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 8: uh you're about to go to, Yeah, no, it's the

602
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 8: sack by Russo Russo and Dootsa yeah, third and one one. Okay, Now,

603
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 8: now if you want to now, if you want to

604
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 8: be a little nitpig here, I've seen by the way,

605
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 8: uh uh Hunter Lipkey, sir, much better job as a

606
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 8: blocker yesterday, as a as a full back. If you

607
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 8: want to see a positive Pollard running the ball, Hunter Lipkey,

608
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 8: great job of going and digging guys out yesterday. Maybe

609
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 8: he's turned the corner there. That's good.

610
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: But third and one, they're gonna throw the ball.

611
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 8: They get sacked by Russo and Dotson on the play

612
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 8: ball gets beat off the line. Scoonmaker's struggling with Russo. Dotson.

613
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 8: Blitz is seeing that Dawbdell is gonna help pick up

614
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 8: help pick up Phillips because you know he's uh, he's

615
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 8: the guards beat off the ball. So that leaves Dotson free.

616
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 8: Lamb is open on the route he's going, he's going out.

617
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 8: He's going up and then out and he's open. But

618
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 8: Dad can't get him the ball because you got you

619
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 8: got the blitzer, you got pressure, you got to miss

620
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 8: block by your guard. You've got to You've got a

621
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 8: back that's trying to help for the miss block of

622
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 8: the guard. And then now all of a sudden, the linebackers,

623
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 8: like being a football players like, okay, if that guy's

624
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 8: gonna block, it's called you know he's gonna he's gonna say, okay,

625
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 8: my keys blocking, I'm gonna come rush. That's what happened.

626
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 8: Now you got two guys in Dak's face. Well, here's

627
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 8: the here's here's a guy, here's lamb open in the secondary,

628
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 8: but you can't get him the ball.

629
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: So that's the kind of day that they endured yesterday.

630
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 7: And as far as a lot of missed opportunity, yeah,

631
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 7: as far as the play calling is concerned, I mean,

632
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 7: I was going to lead with for the most part,

633
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 7: McCarthy got forced into a play calling situation he didn't

634
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 7: want to be in. You're down twenty one to three.

635
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 7: Now you gotta throw your way out of him. You

636
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 7: got to throw your way out of it on the road.

637
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 7: And hey, by the way, rain is starting to move in,

638
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 7: So good luck with that. And the Bills just took

639
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 7: full advantage of that. So for the most part, once

640
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 7: he was forced in, you know, with the back against

641
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 7: the wall, the play calling mostly was fine. It was

642
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,959
Speaker 7: lack of execution for whatever reason. You know, the timing

643
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 7: between receivers. The ball was a little bit high, here

644
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 7: was a little bit high. There was a little bit

645
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 7: out there, it's a little bit in there. It was

646
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 7: just not in the windows that you normally see it

647
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 7: from Dak. And of course that goes to in the

648
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 7: second half, the rain started to come down pretty steadily.

649
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 7: Bill's new that they were playing for that, right, they

650
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 7: know that, Okay, you're going to have to throw from

651
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 7: behind to win, and it's going to start raining here shortly.

652
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 7: So masterful gamesmanship by the Bills. But kind of going

653
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 7: to what Brian said, and this is the one that

654
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 7: I circled. Actually in my game notes, it's highlighted and

655
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 7: read italicized, underlined and in bold. Third and one that

656
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 7: play action pass. Mike wants that back because over the

657
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 7: course of the game before that point, that was fifth

658
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 7: Cowboys drive. So it was third quarter, they were down

659
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 7: twenty one to three, and the Bills had already shown

660
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 7: they can get pressure on your quarterback time and time again,

661
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 7: and mostly with four man fronts, not with the added blitz,

662
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 7: mostly with four man fronts if you're going to call

663
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 7: that play on thirty and one, because on the same

664
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 7: drive they had a thirty and one they handed it

665
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 7: to Lipkey. That actually happened in real life, handed it

666
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 7: to lip Key. It was a conversion. So they're making

667
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 7: some moves here. They had a quick flat that polar

668
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 7: Ferguson got it. So you're moving, you're moving to start

669
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 7: this quarter. But then what do you do third and one?

670
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 7: Instead of a straight drop to give Dack that extra

671
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 7: moment for that receiver to get open, you do a

672
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 7: play action. So by the time he's done with the

673
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 7: play action, that plays over. That plays over. So it's

674
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 7: not so much to play call it it is for

675
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 7: me as far as I would have preferred them handed

676
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 7: the ball. But if you insist on trying to pass

677
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 7: the ball in that situation, because you need a big play,

678
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 7: he said, there were minus six on big plays in

679
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 7: the first half. Okay, don't play action that, just do

680
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 7: a straight drop to give Dack a chance because that

681
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 7: that offensive line was having a hell of a time

682
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 7: against that defense. So play actions were out the window

683
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 7: in the second half for me. So when I saw

684
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 7: it on a play like that and then what to do,

685
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 7: it ended up in a punt and now the Bills

686
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 7: get another drive and then they tackle on three twenty

687
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 7: four to three, and here we go.

688
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: They're just building the lead at this point. Here we

689
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: go in the wrong direction. It wasn't here we go.

690
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: Here we go.

691
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, let's go ahead and take our final break.

692
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 6: When we come back, we have a new segment. I

693
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 6: like to call what the heck is happening on the road.

694
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: It's a long time.

695
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 6: What Yes, some supposedly quote unquote food poisoning. We'll talk

696
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 6: to injuries and more.

697
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 10: After this break, Todd thought it would be secure to

698
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 10: jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat

699
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 10: repellent he bought online was reliable. And now Todd is

700
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 10: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run

701
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 10: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd

702
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 10: has at and T five g's it is fast, reliable,

703
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 10: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do

704
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 10: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the

Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no.

746
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 6: I'm the mature one here today.

747
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 4: This just today.

748
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 6: I'll bring it tomorrow, but today What the heck is

749
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 6: happening on the road? That's my new segment.

750
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 2: What's what the heck is happening on the road.

751
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 7: Yes, the margin of error is much more thin, especially

752
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 7: against a really good team. So when you make a

753
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 7: simple mistake, it becomes a massive mistake on the road.

754
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 7: A simple mistake at home becomes a massive mistake on

755
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 7: the road at AT and T Stadium. With the way

756
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 7: the Cowboys have been playing, if they get you know

757
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 7: that personal file against tank on that opening drive against

758
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 7: the opposition, giving them four extra points.

759
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: So now it's seven zero.

760
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 7: Guess what on the next drive that's probably a touchdown

761
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 7: pass to Cooks and all as well. And you forget

762
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 7: for the most part about that that Jay Ron curse penalty.

763
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 7: You rather you agree with it or not, it happened.

764
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 7: Maybe you can overcome that at home, but you don't

765
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 7: overcome that in Buffalo on the road when the rain

766
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 7: is starting to come down against a team that is

767
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 7: running the ball down your throat and is getting pressure

768
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 7: on your quarterback virtually at will. So I know Dak

769
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 7: Prescott and Mike McCarthy said yesterday, Mike said, quote unquote,

770
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 7: it is too big of a gap as far as

771
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 7: the play level of play between home and on the road.

772
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 7: He's absolutely correct. And Dak said he's trying to put

773
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 7: a finger on it. Mike said a Micah said he's

774
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 7: trying to put a finger on it as well. Some

775
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 7: of it is intangible, but some of it is tangible.

776
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 7: Penalties those times, types of self inflicted wounds, execution, execute,

777
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 7: but they're more easily overcome at home because it's tougher

778
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 7: to demoralize the team on their own field. So I

779
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 7: think you would have seen more fight at at and

780
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 7: T Stadium once the game started to get off the

781
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 7: rails than you would have seen in Buffalo or Philadelphia

782
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 7: or obviously in Santa Clair out for the forty nine ers.

783
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 7: And this is something that has to be cleaned up,

784
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 7: Like you can't talk about being a Super Bowl contender

785
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 7: and have these and be three and four on the

786
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 7: road and have your execution be an issue on the

787
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 7: road and your offense turned all the way down on

788
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 7: the road, And especially in a situation where, depending on

789
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 7: what happens with the Seahawks and Eagles, guess what you

790
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 7: might have to do to get to the Super Bowl,

791
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 7: play on the road every single game. Hell, even the

792
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 7: Super Bowl is on the road, right, So even if

793
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 7: things fall in your favor and you win the lottery

794
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 7: and you went out from here and the Eagles lose

795
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 7: out from here in the forty nine er stumble, if you

796
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 7: win the lottery, lightning strikes and you get first the

797
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 7: top spot and you get home field event super bowling

798
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 7: at home right, learn how to win on the road

799
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 7: and learn now.

800
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, the whole thing concept I can't I cannot put

801
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 6: the finger on it. I cannot figure it out because

802
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 6: it doesn't make any sense to me. Like, yeah, certain

803
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 6: things you can talk about, like whether they're sleeping at

804
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 6: their house or not, or sleeping at a hotel or

805
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 6: having to travel, but it's not big enough of a

806
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 6: reason as to why you should be playing the way

807
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 6: that you play on a field, Brian, Is there anything

808
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 6: that you can maybe try to make some sense of it?

809
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a couple of things.

810
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 8: I think offensively against Philadelphia on the road, you were

811
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 8: good enough to win the game. You just weren't good

812
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 8: enough at the end.

813
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 3: You know.

814
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 8: I think Dak played well. They did what they had

815
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 8: to do at home. And I've said this before. They

816
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 8: make teams very one dimensional. They make one dimensional because

817
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 8: what happens is they put so many points on the board.

818
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 8: They create you know, the opponents get into a bind

819
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 8: because all of a sudden, you're down in a game,

820
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 8: Dallas will find a way to if defensively they turned

821
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 8: you over at home, they do a great job of,

822
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 8: you know, creating pressure at home. You know, they they

823
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 8: get you to punt at home, and then all of

824
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 8: a sudden, Dallas's offense will put up you know, twenty

825
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 8: one points quick they get a pick six, you know,

826
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 8: that thing turns into points all of a sudden.

827
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 3: Opponents are dealing.

828
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 8: With the Cowboys, you know, and they're down, you know,

829
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 8: twenty eight to three or something like that a game,

830
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden, you know, you can't

831
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 8: run the ball, you can't do what you need to do.

832
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 8: So you know the problem is they they don't they

833
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 8: don't have that ability to put teams in a bad

834
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 8: spot on the road offensively. They just haven't been able to.

835
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 8: You know, they haven't manufactured enough offense. They surely didn't

836
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 8: do it at Arizona. They had problems in that game

837
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 8: manufacturing offense. They had problems in Santa Clara, you know,

838
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 8: they couldn't get open. But you know those were the

839
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 8: first two weeks before the buye, so maybe it was

840
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 8: something about the offense there. I mean, you had two

841
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 8: really bad games before you made the offensive switch. But yeah,

842
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 8: I think to me that that the Cowboys put so

843
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 8: much pressure on you offensively that it affects the way

844
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 8: that opponents play you, and you haven't been able to

845
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 8: do that as well. You know, especially yesterday, you just

846
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 8: couldn't the Philadelphia game. Like I said, I think Dallas

847
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 8: played well enough offensively to get the game, to get

848
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 8: the win. You know, the other couple losses were pre

849
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 8: pre buy, but that yesterday was that was a clear

850
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 8: example to me that if you don't score enough or

851
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 8: you don't put enough pressure on the opponent, that they

852
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 8: will they will commit to doing something to Dallas that

853
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 8: they're not really great at, and that's playing run defense consistently.

854
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 8: And you know, we saw it in the game against

855
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 8: the Carolina Panthers. Even though the Panthers lost, you know,

856
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 8: they ran the ball well, and they hadn't run the

857
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 8: ball well all year, you know, so we you know,

858
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 8: and then yesterday you got a really big dough of

859
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 8: a team that was committed to it because they're terrified

860
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 8: of there was no threat of your offense doing anything

861
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 8: in the game, and your your defense they kept you

862
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 8: from rushing the passer, which they absolutely wanted to do,

863
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 8: And so they went at what Dallas does worst, and

864
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 8: that's play run defense.

865
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's gonna be tough for them to figure

866
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 6: out quickly because they haven't a nice couple of teams

867
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 6: that are coming up on the schedule. I mean, they

868
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 6: can run the.

869
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 2: Ball, believe.

870
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 12: Yeah.

871
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And when.

872
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 7: You're talking about Miami, you're also talking about with speed,

873
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 7: and that was one thing they struggled with with Cook

874
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 7: because not only was his vision superb last night, but

875
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 7: so was his quickness and speed. When he decided that

876
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 7: he was going to put his foot in the ground

877
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 7: and go, he was gone and they had a hard

878
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 7: time tracking him down. So to your question about size,

879
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 7: we've talked about it a lot. Sacrificing size at the

880
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 7: linebacker position, be it voluntary or voluntarily or involuntarily because

881
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 7: you're losing lve that's involuntary, right, But Marquis Bell, for.

882
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: Example, you get speed and quickness there, but.

883
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 7: You lose the mass bulk, Yeah, you lose the ball,

884
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 7: perfect word, So you lose the bulk there. Now you're

885
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 7: going against a guy in like a chain for example,

886
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 7: who you would like to think that's a favorable matchup

887
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 7: for a guy like Marquis Spell. But then you look

888
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 7: and see how Bell struggled against Cook, and now you

889
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 7: kind of start to wonder a little bit. So the Dolphins,

890
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 7: I mean, they can run the ball. They've got horses

891
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 7: back there. And the Cowboys, you know, you would love

892
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 7: to believe, and history proves that they don't lay two

893
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 7: eggs in a row when it comes to something like this.

894
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 7: But it's also true that they're gonna have two hands

895
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 7: full against that Dolphins rushing attack.

896
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,479
Speaker 6: Don't trust me out yet. We'll talk about that later

897
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 6: in the week.

898
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 2: It's just forty nine run plays.

899
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 7: I just had two run stuffs, two run stuffs out

900
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 7: of forty nine run plays, and Evans was the best

901
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 7: run defender yesterday.

902
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's kind of be very, very tough to handle.

903
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 6: And it's hard because that has been an issue, the

904
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 6: run defense. The Cowboys have struggled with that, regardless of

905
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 6: having Hankins or not. Obviously having Hankins it helps, and

906
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 6: you can see a clear difference when he's on the field,

907
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,959
Speaker 6: but still that has been they're burning the edge.

908
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, but they never had anybody Buffalo committed to running

909
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 8: the football yesterday. I think the ball fifteen times, you know,

910
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 8: I mean, that's that's what you do if you want

911
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 8: to if you want to beat Dallas, and if you

912
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 8: could play good enough defense to not like, you know,

913
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 8: they've limited Dallas's big plays. They didn't give Dallas any

914
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 8: big plays. So all of a sudden now you're limiting

915
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 8: their big plays. You're winning the scoreboard right now.

916
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 3: Heck yeah, you run the.

917
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 8: Ball against Dallas, you know you're like, listen, I don't

918
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 8: want their pass rush to get after me today. Let's

919
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 8: see if they could play run defense today. And it

920
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 8: wasn't all about Hankins because some of the stops that

921
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 8: some of the runs that they made, well, the majority

922
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 8: of the runs that they had. I was looking at

923
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 8: just the metrics of it outside left, outside right. I

924
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 8: mean they had outside left, they had ten carries for

925
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 8: eighty two yards. This this is cook eight ten carries

926
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 8: eighty two yards. That's eight point two yards per carry

927
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 8: going outside left. That's four they had four runs of

928
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 8: ten plus over there. That's an eighty percent success rate

929
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 8: of running over there. You know, it wasn't all the

930
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 8: inside runs. Wasn't what killed you. It was his ability

931
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 8: to get to the to get to the edge. There

932
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 8: was one hundred and thirteen yards just running on the

933
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 8: edge of his of his carriages.

934
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 3: Yesterday. It didn't matter.

935
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 8: Eight point two outside left, seven point eight outside right,

936
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 8: four point six inside left, and then seven point two

937
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 8: inside right. Didn't matter. You just take the ball wherever

938
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 8: they wanted to go yesterday. Dallas didn't have an answer

939
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 8: for that.

940
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 3: They did not, ma'am.

941
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 7: And we look at these yards per look at these

942
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 7: yards allowed by each individual. DeMarcus Laurenn, one of your

943
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 7: best run defenders period, he allowed five point one. Let's see,

944
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 7: I'm going to the lineman, the linebackers, Michael Parsons five

945
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 7: point nine again, Rashaan Evans, he played well in the

946
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 7: run defense, only three point six allow Osa usually Stout

947
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 7: five point three, Donald five point three. The list goes

948
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 7: on and on. Most of these guys are averaging Mazi

949
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,479
Speaker 7: five point eight, Ghost and five point eight Durrance five

950
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 7: point zero. Cook had his way, and it basically was

951
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 7: exactly what the Bills wanted. They didn't want to pass

952
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 7: the ball. Helmet Allen. He you know that that deep

953
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 7: middle cross of two digs. Notwithstanding, he took a couple

954
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 7: of deep shots and those balls were not there for him.

955
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 7: And that was basically m McDermott saying, okay, let's let's

956
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 7: see and then it didn't happen.

957
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 2: He was like, okay, let's go back to running the ball.

958
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Joe Brady got smart.

959
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 8: I mean, he helped, he held Buffalo's defense yesterday and

960
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 8: he the way that he the way he kept Dallas'

961
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 8: offense off the field, that was impressive. That was impressive

962
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 8: work by the Bills and in that situation winning it.

963
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 8: And they always talk about complimentary football, and that's that

964
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 8: was a great example of complimentary football.

965
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 6: All right. Before we end the show, wanted to address

966
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 6: super quickly this rumor, and I said rumor because it

967
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 6: has not been confirmed by anybody on this building.

968
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 9: Yeah.

969
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, but since it's circulating social media and we've heard it,

970
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 6: there's some rumor going around that supposedly some players ate

971
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 6: something and that gave them food poisoning the night before

972
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 6: the game. We have not heard any of this. You

973
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 6: have not, Brian Patrick, So I don't know who came

974
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 6: up with this, and it's just a rumor. We'll see

975
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 6: later if.

976
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 3: Anything, if it works.

977
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:44,479
Speaker 8: Yeah.

978
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 6: Yeah. The other thing, real.

979
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 2: Quick, don't blame the pizza.

980
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 6: Don't blame the pizza, super super quick before we go injuries.

981
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 6: We'll know more about it later. We do know that

982
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 6: everybody returned to the game, with the exception of sag Martin.

983
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 6: He did injure his squad and he's said after the game,

984
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 6: how it feels better knowing that is his quad and

985
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 6: not his would have been very which would have been worse.

986
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 6: And he was feeling very positive as far as like

987
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 6: going through rehab and everything this week and being able

988
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 6: to be available for the game in Miami. So injuries,

989
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 6: any other injuries that you guys are concerned about right now.

990
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 7: But what I would say for Zach Martin is I

991
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 7: love his optimism. But it's a quad bruise and it's

992
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 7: gonna feel different this morning than it did last night.

993
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 2: So let's see how it goes as.

994
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 7: Far as his treatment is concerned, as far as his

995
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 7: availability goes, he's optimistic. McCarthy's optimistic. But again, when Zach

996
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 7: woke up this morning, one guarantee you it felt much different.

997
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 7: So brit Britton, you know, Jim and those guys, they

998
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 7: obviously do an excellent, excellent job. So let's see if

999
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 7: they can get him ready because they're gonna need they're

1000
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 7: gonna need Zach.

1001
