Welcome to the latest edition All 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.560 the Break. We are live from the SWBC Mortgage studios 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.640 at the Star and Man. Heading into a bye week, 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:56.520 It's so good to be able to talk about when 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.080 Cowboys go and get a win that. As Dak Prescott 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.120 made it clear, it was a very important win for them. 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.160 I heard Jerry this morning on one on five Do 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.120 three the Fan, he said the same thing. I think 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.880 everybody agrees. This was a big win that they really 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.440 needed to head into this bye week. Four and two 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.880 feels a lot different than three and three. They go 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.319 on the road and win twenty to seventeen in a thriller, 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.240 really good game. And I think we all last week 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.600 we were calling this game. I think everybody had close scores. 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.560 We all expected to be a close game, but as 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.400 the game wore on, it really was tight. We'll break 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.200 all that down for you guys. I'll start first where 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.280 we usually start after a game, and I'll go around 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:33.760 the table. I want you guys to tell me what 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.880 you think is the enduring storyline of this game when 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.520 you look back on the Week six of the NFL season, 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.560 Cowboys versus Chargers. So startth patrick. 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.800 For me, the biggest thing is, as it turns out, 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.200 ladies and gentlemen, Deak Prescott is not just a torso 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:50.840 with arms and a head. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.880 He has legs. Well, he has legs, and he really 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.400 yeah we knew that, yeah, but he's using him now. 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:58.480 He's using him now. 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.080 So I mean, we talked about it quite a bit 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.480 over these past several weeks, and we wanted to see 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.320 Dak Prescott unleash his mobility and his escapability, and it 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:11.080 was on full display in Los Angeles against the Chargers. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.119 And you know, you could talk about the eighteen yard 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.840 option run that turned into a touchdown and the fact 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.320 that he hadn't used his legs actually worked in his 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.480 favor in that aspect because the Chargers defenders didn't respect 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.840 him enough to actually put a spy on him in that, 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.240 and he took all him. He got the touchdown, and 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.480 then you look at the sixty yard touchdown toss and 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:30.520 catch to Tony Pollard. 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.000 That was an escapability play. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.600 He you know, pocket broke down, as it did several 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:35.440 times last night. 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:36.440 He got out of there. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.400 One of the several times that Dak Prescott extended to play, 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.799 bought time to get the playmakers an opportunity to get open. 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.160 They got open for him. There's to catch. Tony Pollard 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.440 does the rest and then you know, ceedee lamb. You know, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.799 had a big game, and you know so Dak Prescott mobility. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.960 When you put that on film, teams have to account 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.640 for that, and now that they have to account for 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.160 going forward, all I want to do is see consistency 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.079 with that. That's added element of the offense the Cowboys 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.000 have been lacking, and when the offense has been as 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.720 stille as it has been, it can only help going forward. 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.560 Well, for me, this game was a little too head 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.320 to head for my liking. I was sweating in a 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.639 few moments, so I don't like that. I need you 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.080 to give me more do better, but I'll take the 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:19.600 win and I'll celebrate it. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:21.040 The fourth quarter. 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.560 Yeah, exactly. Man, I hate it every time time. I'm 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.200 not even gonna look, but I look, and I can't. 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:28.800 I don't. 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.679 I That's what I hate about sports. But at the 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.839 same time, that's what you love. But aside from Dyk, 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.360 I would say, Ceeli Lamb, get as mad as. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.600 You want any time you won. 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:45.000 I mean, he was absolutely perfect for the Cowboys. He 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.640 got seven of seven receptions, got everything, one hundred and 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:49.680 seventeen yards. 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.440 I mean, he did so much for the Cowboys. 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:58.120 And again, I love the way they were able to 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.640 work together. Dak in City coming off the loss against 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.880 the forty nine ers and knowing and seeing the frustration 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.480 that was there and it didn't. That could have turned bad, 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.440 you know, but they worked on it and again there 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.520 was no drama there. Dak talked about it postgame. You know, 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.039 that's just kind of the nature of a competitor. And 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.160 they've worked on it, so it was beautiful. There were 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.400 times where Doc through a pass that I thought was 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.720 targeted to someone else and then CD popped out of 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.440 know where I'm at, WHOA where'd you come from? You 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.080 got me there and I was loving it, so great 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.440 job to them both for just kind of cleaning up 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.159 the game and getting in synct this week. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.039 When you play run defense, you got to play it 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.200 as a unit, and they did a great job against 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.480 Austin Eckler last night. In this football game, it really 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.400 started up front with Hankins his ability to show he's 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.280 not just this big, massive man in the middle. He's 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.000 got some agility to him, He's got movement to him, 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.320 and he's got the ability to spin when they try 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.440 and block him. He's able to get off blocks. He 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.680 could be disrupted that way. Him and Mozzie Smith actually 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.640 did a really nice job. You got a really good 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.599 game from Damou and Clark the way that he was 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.240 able to play down hill. There was one time on 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.440 one of the better Eckler runs where he had the 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.080 chance to kind of come up and make it a 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.800 two yard play, ended up being a six yard run. 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:20.760 But overall, though him Lawrence this front, Mark Bill did 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.800 a super job. Yeah, Bell did a super job of 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.960 controlling and not allowing. The previous week, he saw the 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.000 San Franciscos offensive line, and San Francisco has a better 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.600 line when you play against the line that's not as good. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.680 You got to take advantage of that. The Cowboys did 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.279 a great job of doing that. Front seven football safety's 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.680 getting down sometimes when they needed to make it happen. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.279 But you could watch the tape and see these guys 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.960 getting off blocks all day. Austin Eckler never got going 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.760 in this football game, and that was going to be 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.640 a key because in week one he did. He killed 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.719 the Dolphins and you're kind of thinking, oh, they're going 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.719 to try and run the ball. When they tried to 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.120 run the ball, there was no gains, no gains. Game 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.520 to three game three gain a one. That's how your 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.240 Cowboys played run defense yesterday. 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:03.800 Absolutely. 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.599 All right, let's start breaking down this thing. Let's start 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.719 with the head man, Dak Prescott. Yesterday, he was twenty 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.520 one to thirty two hundred and seventy two yards, one 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.080 passing touchdown, one hundred and nine point three passer rating. 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.920 In addition to that, led the team in rushing seven 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.960 rushers for forty yards and one rushing touchdown. Overall. As 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.719 you watch Dak Prescott play yesterday, how did you assess 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.240 him on the field? 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.799 I give him an A not an A plus because 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.520 there are you know, a couple of throws that he'd 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.960 like to have back. He talked about after the game. 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.880 He hopped heavily on that throw to Tony Pollard on that 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:38.359 deep post that he said he's going to have a 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.080 nightmare about because he really wanted to get back. He 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.720 had him, He had him. But aside from that, I mean, 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.240 you look at what he was able to do. I 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:46.680 just talked about what he was able to do with 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.039 the legs, but the timeliness of the plays that he 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.159 was able to make as well, kept the Chargers defense 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.279 off balance completely for most of the evening, basically willed 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:59.279 the Cowboys offense to critical plays and third down conversions. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.720 And then you know the efficiency of his production five 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.279 point seven yards per per carry when he you know, 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.760 took off and ran with the ball. So yeah, I mean, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.200 Dak Prescott, he basically did exactly what he needed to 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.280 do as far as getting the offense moving when it 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.560 couldn't move. Brandon Cooks, that connection came alive last night. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.240 Ceedee Lamb. You talked about it could have gone left. 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.120 Instead it went right, which is where it needed to 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.640 be one hundred and seventeen yards, And really that could 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.400 have been a one to fifty one to seventy five 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.880 yard game for ceedee lamb if they kept you know 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.280 that a connection alive in the second half. So I'll 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.760 give Dak Prescott a very very solid a for that. 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:36.840 The stat line's not going to blow you away, but 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.320 when you really start digging deep into it. And this 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.680 was not the best night for Cowboys in pass protection 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.000 as far as their front five. He was under durest 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.640 quite a bit, but he was seven for nine when 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.480 when pressured fo one hundred and five yards passed away 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.760 in the one fifty two. Dak Prescott came to play 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:53.240 last night. 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:58.800 Yeah, very clean game, no turnovers, Jayleen hurts, No, just kidding. 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.840 I don't have hers. I actually like him, but just 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.040 a fan base to. 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:07.440 No. 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:12.120 But just a very nice job by Dak, just keeping 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:16.560 it clean and and protecting the ball, knowing reading things well, 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.720 knowing when to take off and run. He didn't have 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:23.480 great protection from the old line, and they were struggling 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.240 all night, I thought. But he did such a nice job. 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.040 A lot of those passes, they were so clean and 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:35.960 so perfect and so fast and quick that every decision 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.920 he took for the nothing comes to mind that was 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:40.880 really bad. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.080 A couple of throw like back, but there was nothing 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.240 that you were like, you don't kill. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.120 The gallop. The one gallop throw was a little a 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:51.760 little tall. 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:56.000 Yeah, as there's not. 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.240 He threw riding gallops hand and to. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.600 See he should have had Yeah, that should have been 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:01.880 a touch. 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.520 But they had one up the same the other one. Yeah. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.040 But like there were a couple of times I think, 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:07.880 and I had a couple people hit me up on Twitter. 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.319 There were a few times in the game where there 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.680 were some open guys and I don't think Dak necessarily 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:17.280 saw yeah, which again, which, yeah, that doesn't kill you 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.360 as long as you're not making bad throws and throwing 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.920 into cover, right, you can you can accept those, especially 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:23.920 in the close game that was kind of nasty. Use 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.800 there's a lot of things going on that doesn't kill you. 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:28.760 So it's yeah, he didn't have a perfect night, but 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:29.680 I think he played over all. 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.240 Yeah, you know, he had a very good uh Final 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.760 final qualification from me and everything. You see it in 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.480 the stats, you see it in the way he led 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:43.199 the team and just the way he was connecting with 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.839 with different guys. And maybe it's also I don't know, 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.720 because this is where he got kind of fuzzy and 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.360 confusing to me, whether when it's like the player versus 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.720 the play caller and what Mike McCarthy is currently doing, 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.000 that's when I don't really know whose decision or who's 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.520 allowing what. But hey, it worked and they got to win. 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.800 They had really a big problem with the twist fronts 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.560 ups up front. That's where your pressures were coming from. 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.920 The Chargers decided they're going to move your offensive lineman, 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.800 and that's where they've had some problems. Dak benefited greatly 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.920 from the guys around him. Cook's had a great game 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.440 CD as you talked about, was outstanding. The third down drive. 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.320 The third down catch by Cooks that got him a 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.280 first down and kept the drive going at the end 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.160 was a huge play. Tony Pollard does not get it 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.400 nearly enough credit for being a blitz pickup guy that 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.600 he is. He is his ability to step up and 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.720 square up and hit people, and sometimes it compresses him, 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.320 but he stays. He knows who to hit, he knows 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.280 how to cross the pocket, he knows how to stay 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.920 out of the way. He's good at picking up his keys. 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.280 The play that he made on sixty yards he was 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.439 helping protection. Dak flushes to his right, and all of 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:55.160 a sudden, it's like everybody's running trying to cover the 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.160 outside guys and maybe Dak running with the ball, and Dak, 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.679 with good vision, sees Pollard instead of Paular drifting with him. 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.800 He goes straight up the field good right to the middle. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.120 Nobody's there. He breaks the tackle from Davis. Davis had 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.360 a really rough game last night for them, but his 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.360 ability to block and then like, oh no, we're in trouble. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.480 Now make a play, and he is able to do that. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.760 But overall, the Cowboys have got to figure out for 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:22.120 this protection about these twist fronts. It happened in San Francisco, 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.760 it happened in this week against the Chargers. They've got 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.840 to kind of figure this out. They're not passing these 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.800 stunts well enough, and hopefully they'll get that figured out. 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:32.920 But the quarterback did a good job. Back did a 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.240 good job. Receivers did a good job of bailing them out. 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.640 On that point, how much do you think that the 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.200 issues they're having right now with picking up those stunts 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.560 and those twists are a result of the fact that 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.080 this offensive line hasn't played together this is only second 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.400 game now. Yeah, as you said, Brian, where you get 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.920 in that dream now having all those guys together, do 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:51.680 you think this is something that can get better with time. 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.520 I hope it does because they're not going to practice 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.120 any this week, you know, with the collective bargaining, they're 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.920 going to get basically the whole week off. So anything 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.240 to do game plan scheme wise, whatever going forward is 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.280 going to be have to be discussed with the coaches. 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.760 But yeah, it's something that they're going to see every week. 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.760 That's the way it is with the league. How many 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.959 years we've been around Kellyn Moore, he's never thrown a 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.120 screen pass at the running back. What happened he saw 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.439 previous week Dallas couldn't handle a screen pass. I would say, well, 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.680 let's throw it to Eckler here and he runs it 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.720 for twenty five yards or so. They're going to test 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.800 you every single time. If you can't pick these twists 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.200 up and you can't pass them, it's something they're going 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.400 to have to work on. But it you know, maybe 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.839 it is something about all the guys not playing together, 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.480 but that is somewhat of a veteran group. 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:36.679 Ye. 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.800 Yeah, the left guards he's he's young, the Sinner's struggling 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:45.480 with it a little bit, and Martin and Steele haven't 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.000 been as clean as they normally are, and so that 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.240 that's a little bit of a concern going forward. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.200 Yeah, the more reps, the better, I mean, bottom line, 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:55.880 more rips, the better that we talked about a couple 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.959 weeks ago, if that, I mean, the more reps these 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.559 guys get. As this combination of Front five, the more 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.240 the chemistry builds, the more the kind of the telepathy 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.160 built as far as timing and feel being able to 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.200 feel the guy next to you and knowing that if 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:10.760 I go right, he's going to go left. 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.160 If I go left, he's going to go right. 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:16.040 So I'm optimistic that, you know, as the season goes along, 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.960 they'll get better at combating that. But they're definitely going 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.320 to have to get better at it before week nine 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.320 because when they come out of the BI week yessy, 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.880 they're hosting the Los Angeles Rams, which can be challenging 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:31.440 as a front as well not at all, So that's 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.600 going to be a good, you know, sharpening device as 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.400 far as trying to make sure that you're ready for 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.160 the Philadelphia Eagles because that's really going to be as 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.000 far as the defensive front. You thought the forty nine 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.240 ers front was bad, and it is bad as far 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.520 as you know, bad boys, but the Eagles they're they're 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.360 coming with the smoke, So figure it out. But to 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.360 your point, one of the only ways to figure it 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.280 out is to keep this unit healthy and getting reps 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:55.000 on the field together. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.240 That's the only Sorry, I was just gonna say. You 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.880 said the healthy, and that's the thing that kind of 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.440 pops up in my mind because you look at them. 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:09.160 Each guy has enough experience, some plenty of experience to 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:13.000 make it work individually to where they're not struggling on 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:17.079 those matchups. But then you talk about being healthy. That's 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.400 the only thing that pops in my head. 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.680 Because it might not be completely healthy right now. It's center, 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.560 and they might not be completely healthy at. 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.520 Right guard, and that may be it. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.440 Because other than that, I mean, you look up by 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:33.600 name and experience, these weren't healthy. Should be one of 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:37.280 the best groups you got and like around the NFL too, 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.840 I would say, in my opinion in the O line, 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.720 So it's just maybe it's a health issue, because I 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.880 still find it hard to believe that the second week 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.320 that they're all together, they're still kind of struggling this 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.840 like that because the communication thing. I get it, Yeah, 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.200 you need to practice and all that, but some are 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.880 individual mistakes. 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.200 So hopefully they figure. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.880 And let Tyrone still dealing with to your point, So, 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.240 I mean, they're kind of banged up for the most part, 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.720 but they're not one hundred percent healthy, and hopefully this 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.520 by week will play largely into hoping that they can 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.600 be as healthy as possible for two weeks from now. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:14.320 Yeah, I think the. 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.480 Thing that concerns me the most about this offensive line 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.200 is that to a man, you can go down the line. 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.120 I don't think any of them have played up to 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.640 what I thought were of what standard was for each 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.840 of them individually and where I've seen them play the 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.080 level I've seen them play throughout their careers, varying levels 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.000 of their careers because they all have different number of 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.080 years in the league, but none of them are playing 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.760 up to that standard. And that's the part that concerns 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.080 me a little bit. But again, willing to give it 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:42.840 time because I do think that that playing in the 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.080 offensive line is we've talked about a lot, is about 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.080 the unit more so than it is the person, and 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.040 if they can start to figure out how the chemistry 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:50.960 should work, maybe that solves a lot of these problems 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.520 for them. We're gonna go and take our first break. 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:53.960 We'll come back. We got more to talk about. We'll 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.800 talk about the wide receivers and one connection that didn't 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.040 seem to work last night, but the Cowboys kept going 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.920 back to it. We'll talk about that when we come back. Dallas, 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:01.880 Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.080 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.040 cheatah Savannah.

It is the second segment of the Break 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.800 Wheel Live from the SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:44.679 This segment's brought to you by blockchain dot Com. Okay, 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:46.840 here we go. So here's what we're going to do 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.280 is talk about the wide receivers. Yesterday he was an 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:53.879 interesting part. Seven of Dak's nine incompletion. Yesterday he had 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:57.359 nine total incompletion. Seven of them were targeted at Michael 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.959 Gallup seventeen of eighteen. He was seventeen or eighteen when 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.400 he was throwing the Lamb, Cooks or Pollard. Only one 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.600 in completion to those three wide receivers. My question for 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.439 you guys is what's happening with that connection? What are 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:13.080 you guys seeing. Is this a situation where Dak's forcing 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:14.960 the ball? Do you think it's a situation where they're 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.080 just not connecting. They're wide open opportunities and they're just 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.119 missing them. What are you seeing from that connection? Particularly? 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.680 I think it's interesting that when you look at the 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:30.520 connection between Gallup and Deck, it's just it's the inconsistency 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.040 that throws me off because you look at what he 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.960 was able Gallup was able to do against the Arizona Cardinals. 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:37.440 He was one of the few that had a really 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.639 strong game against the Cardinals, and that included a pretty 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:40.920 solid separation rate. 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:43.440 Look at what you gets against the Patriots. 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:46.000 He had a four point four yard separation rate, second 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.760 best of any receiver not named Cavante Turpin forty four 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.879 yards after the catch. So you've seen as recently as 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.240 a couple games ago that this connection can work when 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.200 it gets going early. But when things go left for 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:03.960 them early incomplete here, overthrown pass here, it kind of 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:05.840 sets the tone for them for the rest of the game, 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:07.760 and that tends to be what carries the rest of 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:09.600 the game. Like when they can't get on early and 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:11.800 get on a heater early gallop and dack, that connection, 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.040 it tends to just be ice cold the rest of 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.680 the game. And don't necessarily know why other than just 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:20.520 the psychology of maybe one of both of them just 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:22.760 trying too hard at that point, Like you said, then 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.560 it becomes forceful as opposed to it being organic. But 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.800 I mean, interestingly enough, we talk about Brandon Cooks, who 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.080 finally had a really good game with the Cowboys and 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.480 was utilized appropriately. His rate of separation wasn't much different 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.200 last night in Los Angeles than Michael Gallup. Gallup was 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.240 two point one, which was the low of all receivers, 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.960 Cooks was two point five. So when you go and 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:43.399 look at the film, then you start to look at 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.480 it contextually and say, Okay, what were the play calls, 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.840 what was the coverage? Look things like that. But I 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:50.960 mean Gallop in DAC they the connection exists. But again, 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:53.639 my biggest thing is it feels that if it doesn't 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.840 work on the first one to three targets, it's probably 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:58.520 not going to work at all that game, which is 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:00.240 different from it if it doesn't work for the first 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.600 one or two targets to Lamb, they can still get 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:03.680 it going and go on the heater. 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:05.960 There's something different with that dynamic there. 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:08.399 Yeah, what's weird to me. 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.959 Sorry, what's weird to me is when you look at 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.400 the stats and everything and I haven't gone or haven't 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:19.040 had time to do anything this morning, but definitely, yeah, 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.639 definitely haven't had time to look back at what was 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.600 happening in each play and where guys were lining up 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:25.600 and who was open or not. 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:26.520 But it's weird to me. 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:30.840 When you see, uh, one, Lamb should be the one 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:35.199 with the most targeted passes and that hasn't happened. Then 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:37.920 you look at Brandan Cooks. He finally had a game 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.520 in the second half, he started showing up and all 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:42.920 that and making it work. But still you want to 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:46.399 see they'll target it even higher. But what blew my 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:52.000 mind is Jake Ferguson. Historically in Dak's career, the tight 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.760 end has been the safety net, safety blanket to Dak, 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.560 Prescott and Jake. Yes, there have been time earlier in 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:05.560 the season where it hasn't worked, but typically it works 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:08.960 and he'll catch the ball and give you some game. 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:13.480 And he only had one reception, so again it was. 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:17.480 Opened last night. There are several times I was like, Jake, Jake, So. 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:20.840 It's that's the That's what's strange to me because that 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:26.160 has been the one position that tends to work for Dak. 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.680 Tight end, tight end, and it's just like slowly kind 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:31.080 of disappearing and you. 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:31.600 Don't see it. 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.480 And I don't think it's necessarily because Jake is playing 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:35.679 a bad game because. 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:38.960 He has caught the ball. So it's just it's just odd. 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:42.359 And again and you guys said the word forcing, it 0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:44.800 did seem like they were forcing it. Like last night 0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:47.639 it turned into one of those where okay, just just 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:51.800 stop and that's not to say anything necessarily fully negative 0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:54.080 about Michael Gallop because what was. 0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:56.040 That one game that he was mainly the only guy 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.080 really Arizona. 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:03.560 So he does have games like that sometimes, but it's 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:07.840 not his tendency. He's just there's no consistency there. 0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.680 Yeah, the word is consistency, because there's throughout his history 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:12.320 he's had two or three games in a row and 0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:14.720 they'll disappear for five. You will never see him on 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:17.159 the stat sheet. They tried last night to get him 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.920 the football. They drug him underneath that kind of side 0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:21.639 arms it to him. He's going to try and carry 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.680 him across the formation to you know, across the middle 0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:26.280 there to catch the ball and get the first down, 0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:29.480 catch it, turn up, and then Gallup is kind of hesitant, like, 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:31.639 I'm not sure where I'm supposed to really? Am I 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.639 supposed to keep going? Am I supposed to stop? He hesitates? 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.760 Now the ball's yeah, third down play, and they set 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:40.119 it up for him to get the ball. They drag 0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:42.960 it and they try and rub it with the with 0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:46.159 the crossers, with Ferguson running you know to him, and 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:48.159 then under and then so they're going to try and 0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:50.320 get him open. But he's still he's got a little 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:52.879 separation there that kind of side arms it because of 0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.200 the way the defender was. He had to just but 0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:57.960 he led him enough to where if Gallup keeps running, 0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:01.160 it's going to be a catch. The problem is, though, 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:03.680 like I think Patrick's right about that. I think he's 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:05.800 one of those guys. I think he's a confident player. 0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.359 When he lacks confidence, he doesn't play as well. The 0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:12.400 couple he body catches balls when he gets nervous. We've 0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:14.520 seen that happen to him a couple of different times. 0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:18.520 You know, he just bet his his inconsistency. Two good games, 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:22.280 four bad games. One good game, two bad games. It's 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.959 just kind of been his career and I don't think 0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:26.840 it has anything to do with his health or anything 0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:29.959 like that. I was personally in that game last night 0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:32.520 thinking if they targeted CD twenty times, there have been 0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:35.280 twenty catches. That's just how I felt him to play. 0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:37.720 And that's when you get the vibe of like having 0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:40.040 a good game one the one. 0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:43.320 Is clearly a more confident player. The other one struggles 0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:46.240 and even when they try and help him, and we 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:48.159 always ask, well, man, they need to get him more 0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.120 involved in you know, you're thinking like, yeah, get Lamb 0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:55.280 more involved, great, get Gallop more involved. Well we did, 0:24:55.520 --> 0:24:57.760 but this is what happens to you occasionally. You have 0:24:57.840 --> 0:24:58.480 to be aware of that. 0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:00.760 Yeah, it feels like they want it to game thinking 0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:03.399 there was a matchup they wanted to exploit with Gallop 0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:06.000 and it just didn't work. And it just didn't work. 0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:09.400 You can't happen on happen up on ten targets. 0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:09.480 Like. 0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.160 That's something that I think is is scripted. That's something 0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:14.240 you have. You're making an intentional. 0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:16.080 Tried to get now like we're talking about and he 0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:18.840 just stopped. Yeah, and Dak's like, bro, you got to 0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:22.080 keep going, just keep going. And because he threw the 0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:24.080 ball out in front where if he just runs it, 0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:26.280 catches it and goes, they got a first down. 0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:29.560 Yeah, when the drop touchdown was big. Yeah, I mean 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:32.199 we talk about building confidence. That would have been massive, 0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:35.119 not only for the Cowboys offense, who really needed to 0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:38.040 get points on that on that play, but if your 0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:40.840 Gallop and you're trying to work through what might be 0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:43.400 a confidence issue because things aren't necessarily going the way 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:45.359 you want at that point in the game, you get 0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:48.119 that touchdown. All of a sudden it's an explosive injection 0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:50.280 of confidence. But what happens you drop it and then 0:25:50.280 --> 0:25:52.000 you sink a little bit lower and then the rest 0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:53.920 of the night just becomes the rest of the night. 0:25:54.000 --> 0:25:55.480 Yeah. If there's a guy that I want to see 0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:58.160 them do that with is Brandon Cooks. Probably a little 0:25:58.160 --> 0:25:59.919 bit more than Michael Gallup, just because he's so die. 0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:02.119 There's just so much. I heard Jerry talking on the 0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:04.520 fan this morning and I agree wholeheartedly. It's like they 0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:07.280 got to use his speed up feel and you saw 0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:09.320 it last night with his furs picked it up for 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:11.520 fourteen yards and I'd mentioned on that video. I put 0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:14.680 on Twitter what they did with Calevanti Turpin in that 0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:17.280 game against Niners, and I was like, that's the same 0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:19.200 thing they can do with Cooks. Like they're just not 0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:21.680 using him in that way. There are opportunities to be 0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:24.480 able to match him up and force safeties into decisions 0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:27.080 where they have to decide on two deep threats. And 0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:29.240 if you got a Cook's or you got a Turpin 0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:31.040 with that speed, good luck with that. 0:26:31.280 --> 0:26:35.320 Yeah, they Cooks is your best route runner in my opinion. Yeah, 0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:37.119 the way on that third down catch, the way that 0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:40.600 he was able to drive Samuel. I mean he Samuel's 0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:43.720 cushion just got closed and it just turned into like, 0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:46.680 oh panic, And then you know it, Cooks just stops 0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:49.440 and turns and breaks back and there's the ball right there. 0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:52.320 And that's that's what you gotta have, man, those route 0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:56.240 runners that drive defenders off and scare the hell out 0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:57.920 of them that they're going to go buy them. But 0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:00.200 then they come back and get the ball and you 0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:01.200 keep the sticks moving. 0:27:01.240 --> 0:27:02.800 All right, we're going to take our final break. We'll 0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:04.760 come back.

You can get killed riding a 0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:50.160 bull like chance? No, I'm saying like. 0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:53.000 Shook one. 0:30:53.120 --> 0:30:57.320 Definitely, hell man, you those things are dangerous. 0:30:57.040 --> 0:30:59.600 Just put the shades then, like say, Ambar, go on, 0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:03.320 if you'm gonna do that, danger, prepare danger for the 0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:03.960 gold buckle. 0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:08.680 allR we have devolved enough, we're gonna get back to it. 0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:13.120 Let's talk Calbut yeah, win one point eight million dollars 0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:15.600 for playing golf, bull riders get about twenty five thousand 0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:17.640 or something for risking their lives exactly. 0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:19.720 All right, let's go. Let's talk a little bit about 0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:24.440 this defense yesterday. Overall, really great performances, Brian, you'd mentioned 0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:26.880 it earlier, how well they did against the run by 0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:29.440 twenty three carries for fifty three yards. That was a 0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:31.719 two point three average, and echo they only allowed him 0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:34.920 twenty seven yards on fourteen carries, a one point nine average. 0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:38.440 That all being said, they went into this game having 0:31:38.480 --> 0:31:41.960 to adjust to losing their middle linebacker in Layton vander 0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:45.200 esh Were they successful in finding a way to work 0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:46.560 this defense without him? 0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:49.800 They were, and in large part because, like like Brian 0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:51.959 said in the first segment, Da Moon Clark stepped up 0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:55.200 and played very well in the run defense. He played 0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:57.600 sideline the sideline, but also he filled those gaps when 0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:00.520 they came available, and he often met Eckler at the 0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:03.080 line of scrimmage, or not far from the line of scrimmage, 0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:08.080 but glowing golden circle around Marquise Bell. What Marquise Bell 0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:10.920 was able to do against the Chargers was nothing short 0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:14.040 of stellar. It was a stupendous outing for Marquise Bell. 0:32:14.080 --> 0:32:16.400 And keep in mind, this is a young man who 0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:19.040 was basically thrown into the fire as this hybrid guy 0:32:19.400 --> 0:32:21.520 following the loss of de Marvion Overshown. This is the 0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:24.400 Overshown package that the Cowboys are basically utilizing him in. 0:32:24.760 --> 0:32:26.920 And he stepped in and he was making impact plays, 0:32:27.240 --> 0:32:29.680 you know, at several points over the first five games. 0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:31.800 But if you look at what he did against the Chargers, 0:32:31.800 --> 0:32:35.800 I mean, Eckler is having nightmares about Marquise Bell. There's 0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:39.120 one play in particular, Eckler took the handoff he was 0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:40.600 going up I think it was off the A gap, 0:32:41.000 --> 0:32:43.160 and almost as soon as he got the ball and 0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:45.920 looked up, there was Marquise Bell and there. 0:32:45.920 --> 0:32:46.920 Was some wood being laid. 0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:50.760 And then you look at the incomplete pass on Eckler 0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:52.680 and the flat that was jarred loose. I mean the 0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:55.560 Cowboys defense and the linebackers particularly, they came to play 0:32:55.640 --> 0:32:59.360 ball and we talked about it losing LVE. You can't 0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:02.480 overstate the magnitude of that, particularly in the run defense. 0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:06.080 But credit to Dan Quinn for scheming this the right way, 0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:08.479 and credit to those guys because it also goes down 0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:10.840 to execution, and boy were they executing last night. 0:33:12.120 --> 0:33:14.320 I literally have nothing else to add to that. That 0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:19.760 was well said. They did a nice job. 0:33:20.320 --> 0:33:24.360 They did a very nice job adapting and adjusting and 0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:26.920 making the changes that they needed to. I thought the 0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:29.400 most struggles that came from the defense were more on 0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:33.600 the secondary. That's where you start seeing again once again 0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:40.400 you're missing Trevon Diggs, Stephan Gilmour. At times, it's not 0:33:40.560 --> 0:33:42.640 the guy that you expected. 0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:43.720 Him because he doesn't have that speed. 0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:48.840 But then he'll make place, He'll make some place. You're like, okay, okay, 0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:50.560 let me back off a little bit. But he's just 0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:55.000 again not the consistent type of player. Darron Blend stepping 0:33:55.120 --> 0:34:01.560 up that all to say, giving the sense of Leyton 0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:04.120 vander Esch and then a guy like Trevon Diggs. Those 0:34:04.160 --> 0:34:06.920 are two key players on your defense. I thought they 0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:08.840 handle it pretty nicely. 0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:11.080 Yeah, the pressure was really really good, and I think 0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:14.759 that rattled that rattled their quarterback Herbert a little bit. 0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:16.799 I don't think there were some throws that he made, 0:34:16.880 --> 0:34:19.360 the double moves you mentioned Ambar, they got bland on 0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:21.759 a couple of those. Keenan Allen is a pain in 0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:24.040 the ass to deal with. We all understand that right now, 0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:26.320 and you know that's that's something that you know a 0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:28.560 lot of teams. The Cowboys are not the only team 0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:30.520 they had to deal with that, but he is an 0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:33.600 outstanding player. But the pressure, the consistent pressure, their ability 0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:35.640 to choke the run, I think helped them in this 0:34:35.760 --> 0:34:37.840 football game. The Chargers are team at the end that 0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:39.840 don't know how to finish. They lose a lot of 0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:42.520 games at the end because things happened to them and 0:34:42.640 --> 0:34:44.560 you forced them into those things. It wasn't just the 0:34:44.680 --> 0:34:49.520 Chargers making mistakes. It was your pressure on them, your 0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:53.040 ability to stop the run. When the the adjustment that 0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:55.640 they were able to make when Micah went down is 0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:59.440 that as an edge rusher or inside rusher, it was 0:34:59.560 --> 0:35:04.360 too safe and a linebacker. Clark, Bell and Wilson were playing, 0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:06.400 you know, and so right then and there, that was 0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:08.719 their adjustment. It was like, Okay, if we're gonna play 0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:10.960 Micah down. This is how we're going to try and 0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:13.080 match up. We're going to put two safeties down with 0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:15.600 Clark and see if we can do it. You mentioned 0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:18.439 the run through that Bell had for the tackle for loss. 0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:21.399 Did a great job of reading it. Reading the play 0:35:21.760 --> 0:35:24.160 guard tries to get him, guard doesn't get him, He's 0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:27.160 through the hole, then tackle for loss. That's the kind 0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:29.759 of awareness that you get with with Marquise Bell, the 0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:32.520 way that he's able to play, the way the ability 0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:34.880 for him to see it and get to it and 0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:37.360 finish on the play. Really good job by the defense 0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:41.680 again against a very very difficult quarterback to play against 0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:43.960 and an wide receiver that can make a lot of 0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:45.000 plays on the outside. 0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:47.040 And also credit to the defensive line as well. I 0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:49.600 mean you talk about run defense and pressures, I mean 0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:52.719 DeMarcus Lawrence just continues to set the standard as far 0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:56.120 as run defense for an edge rusher. He's just absolutely phenomenal. 0:35:56.200 --> 0:35:58.120 He's doing on the front side, He's chased him down 0:35:58.160 --> 0:35:59.000 from the backside. 0:35:59.560 --> 0:36:01.000 He has no quit in him. 0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:03.640 And then OsO Diggi zoo Will continues game after game 0:36:03.719 --> 0:36:06.760 to just level up. I mean, he's disrupting the backfield 0:36:06.800 --> 0:36:09.360 from the inside of the pocket, which, as we all know, 0:36:09.560 --> 0:36:12.800 is basically how the best way to rattle a quarterback, 0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:15.600 any quarterback, young, old, doesn't matter. Osa had a win 0:36:15.760 --> 0:36:17.920 rate of twenty five percent roughly last night one out 0:36:17.920 --> 0:36:19.160 of every four snaps he was in. 0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:21.719 The offensive backfield. We can have it. 0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:24.759 So that defensive line you talked about Jonathan Hankins so 0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:29.560 agile for his size, it's phenomenal. So yeah, Cowboys defensive 0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:32.360 line did their job and then some and then like 0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:34.640 I said, the linebacker corps and guys like Marky Spell 0:36:34.680 --> 0:36:37.560 stepping up, the mont Clark's stepping up big. It's just 0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:40.359 it was a fantastic outing. And now we get to see, 0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:42.880 hopefully after the bye week, what Rashaun Evans looks like 0:36:43.160 --> 0:36:45.520 in this unit that has just shown that they can 0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:47.400 shut down a guy like Austin Eckler. 0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:49.800 After starting off so hot. When it comes to the 0:36:49.960 --> 0:36:52.319 sacks that they were able to register over the last 0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:55.080 two weeks, Cowboys gotten only one sack in each game. 0:36:55.440 --> 0:36:56.680 Does that concern you at all? 0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:57.040 Or you do? 0:36:57.120 --> 0:36:58.799 You look at it from the standpoint of they still 0:36:58.840 --> 0:37:01.920 are leaguing the league in quarter pressure percentage, and so 0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:04.279 the pressure is more important than the sacks. 0:37:04.120 --> 0:37:05.920 Well, they got the one sack when they really needed 0:37:05.960 --> 0:37:08.800 it that closed the game. The press the pressures affected 0:37:08.840 --> 0:37:11.279 the way that they played the game. The Chargers played 0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:13.520 the game. Uh, I think that. You know, Kellen Moore 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:15.479 knew what he was up against. You know, he tried 0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:18.479 to scheme at the best he could, but it really 0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:21.640 you know, the pressure forced them to miss some throws. 0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:24.640 His you know, he wasn't comfortable in the pocket and 0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:27.600 moving around and having to deal with the busted up 0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:29.840 finger on the left hand. I don't think helped his 0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:33.560 situation at all. But yeah, I know that there were 0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:37.600 some people that were talking to Doug Nussmyer after the 0:37:37.680 --> 0:37:39.759 game and I got a chance to visit with and 0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:43.360 they were saying that that he was even you know, 0:37:44.000 --> 0:37:46.160 Herbert is banged up. He's trying to play through some 0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:49.240 things right now, and you know, hey, there's no excuse. 0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:51.440 The Cowboys did a great job of getting after him. 0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:55.080 That's the bottom line. The pressures always affect Sacks are 0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:57.759 great turners, a great the heck, Dron Blanket had two 0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:00.520 interceptions in that game. He very easily could they. 0:38:00.400 --> 0:38:02.960 Turn over one could have been a pick. 0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:05.239 Six easier on there but the pressure was what made 0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:07.600 the difference in this football game. The sack was the 0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:08.600 one that finished it off. 0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:13.399 Yeah, and sacks will always always matter. Pressures matter as well, though, 0:38:13.800 --> 0:38:16.360 And that's the problem I have with any faction of 0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:18.719 the fan base that kind of shrugs off pressures as 0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:21.400 if they're irrelevant. They're not irrelevant. They go to the 0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:25.040 psychology of the quarterback that you're playing against. It shrinks 0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:29.200 the mental window for that quarterback and eventually they start 0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:32.040 kind of feeling pressure that's not even their phantom pressure. 0:38:32.840 --> 0:38:35.920 So that's what we kind of saw against Austin excuse me, 0:38:35.960 --> 0:38:38.600 not Austin club, but justin Herbert the Cowboys and Michael 0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:41.600 Parsons for example. Yes, he had what turned out to 0:38:41.640 --> 0:38:44.680 be a game ceiling sack led to Stefan Gilmore getting 0:38:45.160 --> 0:38:48.640 the interception. But if Micah doesn't get that sack, and 0:38:48.680 --> 0:38:50.759 if Micah doesn't have eight pressures on the night like 0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:53.359 he did, and DeMarcus Lawrence with pressures and also Digi 0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:57.680 zul with pressures, if Herbert doesn't feel those pressures, then 0:38:57.920 --> 0:39:00.960 he doesn't feel panicked in those type of situations where 0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:03.320 it feels like, oh, there's something coming on the backside. 0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:05.400 Maybe there was, maybe there was not, the fact that 0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:08.960 you made him rattle like that means pressure is matter 0:39:09.040 --> 0:39:11.040 and they will continue to matter. So yeah, you absolutely 0:39:11.080 --> 0:39:14.280 want to see the Cowboys get home more often, period, 0:39:14.480 --> 0:39:15.000 point blank. 0:39:15.040 --> 0:39:16.279 You want to see it, you need to see it. 0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:19.360 But it's also true that the fact that they're in 0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:23.400 the opposing backfield as regularly as they are, those are 0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:27.560 impacting games. Those are causing quarterbacks and those timing windows 0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:29.520 in their head to shrink, and then that impacts what 0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:30.400 they can or can't do. 0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:33.320 I think those things, Sorry, those things kind of go 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:36.520 very hand in hand. I see pressures. I'll take pressures 0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:39.560 all day long rather than sacks. But sacks I see 0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:42.480 them as like an energy you shot, like you take 0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:46.759 a quick energy booster and then you get that confidence 0:39:46.840 --> 0:39:51.240 and you know everybody it just makes you play better 0:39:51.640 --> 0:39:54.080 along that because you got that energy. But other than that, 0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:57.239 I mean, you take pressure all day long because of 0:39:57.520 --> 0:39:59.799 everything that you just said how it affects everything else. 0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:02.080 Pressures get you wins, sex get you paid. 0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:04.240 Yeah, they need to clean up the penalties on defense. 0:40:06.440 --> 0:40:09.640 But then again, Land Clark's crew helped you in a 0:40:09.680 --> 0:40:11.839 thurday and nineteen, So it's kind of a yeah. 0:40:11.960 --> 0:40:13.279 I mean, yeah, we'll take some of those. 0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:16.200 Yeah, because then you got the pump fiasco. There was 0:40:16.239 --> 0:40:18.919 no help there. You know, that should have been fair 0:40:19.000 --> 0:40:21.759 catching appearance. And then jayln Tober was also blocked in 0:40:21.800 --> 0:40:23.919 the back on that same play. But you know, sure, 0:40:24.000 --> 0:40:24.640 you know they helped. 0:40:24.680 --> 0:40:25.080 I guess. 0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:28.280 So, how concerned you guys about this is now happened? 0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:31.279 This is a recurring theme for this defense. They lose 0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:34.000 receivers or they just get beat flat out, beat down. 0:40:34.120 --> 0:40:34.359 Feel. 0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:36.759 Now, yesterday they weren't able to convert a couple of those, 0:40:36.840 --> 0:40:39.320 but if they would have, that was two touchdowns that 0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:42.600 basically the chargers left on the board. How concerned are 0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:45.320 you that? Or it's a situation, excuse me, a situation 0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:47.320 where you look at it and say, the pressure is 0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:49.719 the reason why they can't complete those even if they 0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:52.480 lose or get beat down. Feel their pressure is so 0:40:52.680 --> 0:40:54.320 good that protects this defense. 0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:57.360 Yeah, I just that's a tough one because to me, 0:40:57.680 --> 0:41:00.879 the pressures are great. But I've also said quarterbacks under 0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:05.160 pressure make completions, and you know sacks do in drives 0:41:05.320 --> 0:41:07.799 a lot of the time, take you out of field, 0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:11.560 grinche whatever. But The thing about it is, yeah, I 0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:14.040 hope that that some of the things that double move 0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:15.960 things we see. We're going to see the twists on 0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:18.080 the offensive line. We're going to see more double moves. 0:41:18.480 --> 0:41:22.399 They're going to You got to prove to these coordinators 0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:25.399 that you play against that you can handle these things. 0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:28.040 If you don't, you're going to continue to see that. 0:41:28.120 --> 0:41:30.800 But yeah, it's an absolute concern. The twist fronts on 0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:34.239 offense the double moves on defense, those are absolutely two 0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:35.239 things you need to worry about. 0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:37.719 The secondary just needs to make sure that they're not 0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:43.600 assuming the pressure is going to happen. There's a way 0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:45.840 to be confident in your defensive front to say, you 0:41:45.920 --> 0:41:47.879 know what, I know those guys are going to get 0:41:47.920 --> 0:41:50.360 back there, but I still have to remain sticky on 0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:53.840 my wide receiver. And when you see that start to happen, 0:41:54.000 --> 0:41:56.520 then you won't have the concern about guys like Keenan 0:41:56.600 --> 0:41:58.520 Allen getting behind you. And yes, this could have been 0:41:58.560 --> 0:42:02.400 a touchdown if not saved by the pressure on Herbert 0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:04.640 that then rattled him that made him overthrow the ball. 0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:07.400 Because sooner or later you're gonna run up against a 0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:10.120 quarterback that's not going to overthrow the ball brock Party, 0:42:10.800 --> 0:42:12.440 So you got to make sure on those kinds of 0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:16.120 guys that, Yeah, that's where sacks actually truly matter, because 0:42:16.120 --> 0:42:17.680 you got to take a guy like brock Party down. 0:42:17.719 --> 0:42:20.120 Otherwise he's going to find a guy like Brandon Iyuk 0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:23.160 and that Keenan Allen this situation that the charges weren't 0:42:23.200 --> 0:42:25.080 able to convert on. So Yesack, that's why I said 0:42:25.120 --> 0:42:28.000 sex matter, point blank, period, But so do pressures. But 0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:30.440 it's also contextual and when you're with the secondary, when 0:42:30.440 --> 0:42:32.879 you're looking at the secondary, and I'm confident in those guys, 0:42:32.880 --> 0:42:35.440 I mean, dron Bland, it remains even though he had 0:42:35.480 --> 0:42:37.960 his struggles last night, remains one of the best corners 0:42:38.000 --> 0:42:40.320 in the league. Still kind of finding his legs on 0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:43.080 the boundary. But we've also seen him now get interceptions 0:42:43.120 --> 0:42:45.600 on the boundary, so he'll learn as he gets more 0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:48.880 reps out there, you know. And Jordan Lewis again, I 0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:51.279 think he'll he'll come on and come better because he's 0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:53.719 been playing well with the exception of last night. And 0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:56.040 you know, Stefan Gilmore, I think they figured out or 0:42:56.080 --> 0:42:58.400 they already know that you don't have the speed of Gilmore, 0:42:58.480 --> 0:43:00.719 that you had the younger Gil, so a lot of 0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:03.000 times what they're trying to do is drag him across 0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:06.640 the field so to keep him trailing as opposed to 0:43:06.719 --> 0:43:08.719 keeping him stuck to the hill. And that's how you 0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:10.680 take advantage of it. When you don't do it that 0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:12.400 way and you try to play him straight up, you know, 0:43:12.520 --> 0:43:14.000 you get a game ceiling interception. 0:43:14.160 --> 0:43:15.640 So that's how it has to be played. 0:43:16.080 --> 0:43:18.399 I think it's I was just gonna add that it's 0:43:18.440 --> 0:43:22.400 definitely concerning, especially when you don't know how much you 0:43:22.480 --> 0:43:26.560 can trust trust your offense, because that's another thing. Last 0:43:26.640 --> 0:43:29.800 night's game, you were able to win because the offense 0:43:30.040 --> 0:43:32.840 was able to score some points, but you never know 0:43:33.000 --> 0:43:35.120 what kind of offense you're gonna get with the Cowboys. 0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:38.000 All Right, we appreciate you guys.
