I think talking about talking gather 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.080 Ram right, I just can't get over a few things. 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.120 Okay, I'm back. It's way too loud. 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:03.120 Mine's loud too. 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.240 But people must be deaf in front of it. 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.800 I think they don't use headsets. Oh okay, so. 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:11.959 They use the mics because I can smell it. 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:23.160 Producer Supreme comes in here and sanitizes everything. Well, here 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.280 we are two days later, and we'll not quite to full. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.760 Two days later, Nicky still wants to talk about what 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:31.240 happened in Philadelphia. 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:36.839 You know, uh, I was just watching the brotherly shove 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:43.240 touchdown of Hurts, right. I think you have to make 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:49.600 them do something different by how you line up. When 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.840 I went back and looked at it, and I don't care. 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.640 You know, do you want to count Marquise Bell as 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.760 a linebacker or. 0:01:58.680 --> 0:01:59.600 A defensive back? 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.280 But if he's kind of the size of a safety. 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:09.320 The Cowboys had on that play from the one yard line, 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:15.600 six defensive backs in the game, and they're pushing. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:21.120 With eight guys over fifty and. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.000 I think one there was one. I saw an eighty 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.280 in there that was Julio Jones. The rest of them 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:31.000 were all line tight ends and offensive linemen. 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.520 You know, that's sort of by design. They make sure 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.919 that they've got the personnel grouping in even before that 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.280 I want them they're versaal enough personnel, and they don't. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:42.600 They don't substitute. 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:47.480 Well, they the two Julio Jones is or whoever, they're 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:48.840 the ones that are back there pushing. 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.800 Well, no, he was on the line of scrimmage. There 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.760 were two smaller guys doing the push. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.400 So Julio Jones is down there pushing. 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.480 Yeah, and he was on the line of scrimmage. 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.160 So but you can't jump on top of it. You 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:01.200 get just blown out. 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.880 And that's what they were doing. 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.560 They were jumping on to you have to. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.280 It's like that's like riding an ocean wave. 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:10.800 I'm going to know. 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.800 I'm gonna make all you want. They're going to just 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:15.160 carry it. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.239 I'm going to make that execute. 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.040 He's got to see it to come out from under 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.119 center and throw a pass. I'm going to put every 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.679 big guy I got on the field in front of him, 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.120 not six DB's pushing from behind. 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.799 So if you do that, then everyone's going to be 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.480 you know, down, you know, diving into the ground, and 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.080 he's going to have all day. 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.440 To pull it out to I want to make him 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.200 do that. I want to execute. 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.160 And that's why I guess that's why Julio Jones would 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:43.640 be in there. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.800 Yeah, in case they decide to change it up. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.520 It's like it's like back in the day when we 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.440 had tugle wars, you didn't put all the little guys 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:54.200 in the front. 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.600 Right, was not on the tug war te. 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.520 Yeah, he was there. I couldn't see it. 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.640 I just think you got to make them do something different. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.040 That's all they're gonna score if they do it. What 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.600 they've been doing, right, I think they've only failed like 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.960 once or twice. Do something different, you know. 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.120 And don't let them get in third and fourth and. 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:20.400 Fourth and one. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.400 It works for them. They're just that team that they 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:24.119 make it work. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:24.960 That's the thing. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.240 I got to make them do something different. I'm putting 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:29.640 every big guy I got. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.880 Well, I got bacon. They can counted that all they 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:33.320 can count. 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.720 I want to see it because I can't counter what 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.800 I'm doing right right right, I'm putting Nate Newton right 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:39.600 on the ball. 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.240 Right that's you know, how you keep them from doing it? 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.080 You win first and second, I. 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.000 Know, don't. You don't let them get get to a 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.400 fourth and one or thirty one. 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.320 But at some point they're they're going to get in it. 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:58.000 And uh, you know, Micah almost did it. What I 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.039 told him, I didn't tell him. I was telling you, guys, 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.320 you jump over the top and you horse collar hurts 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.240 if you can get your hands on them. Because they 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:07.760 got everybody else on top and. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.000 Pushing all right to the point of winning first and 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.160 second down. Let's just take first down. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:14.560 Well, they didn't win third down. 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.120 I added this up during the game at the end 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.280 of the third quarter, when the Cowboys took over one 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.960 thirteen left in the third that was after their Philadelphia's 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.400 last touchdown, which made it twenty eight to seventeen. Here 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:31.440 was the yardage on first down in the game Philadelphia had, 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:36.279 and this includes every first down including penalty first downs. Okay, 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.720 twenty three first down plays they had one hundred and 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.760 thirty nine yards. The Cowboys at that point in the 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.880 game had fifteen first down plays for twenty nine yards. Okay, 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.000 So Cowboys were averaging less than two yards to carry 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.960 on first down. And I'll have to get my calculator 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.839 out for Philadelphia twenty three for one thirty nine. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:05.520 So and that's dan Quinn yesterday was talking about two 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.600 things that you know that they had to be. 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.000 Six yards of carry on first down first six yards 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:11.960 of play on first down. 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.000 So he was saying that number one, one of the 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.400 things we do well defensively take the ball away and 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.440 we didn't. And number two, we were good on third 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.520 down and we weren't because they were fifty percent on 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.040 third down, and if you throw in two fourth downs, 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:33.760 then they were nine of sixteen on third and fourth 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.840 down combined. And that's what he said. If you know, 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.919 when we play him again, we got to be put 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.720 better at those two aspects. 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.799 And my point on it is, Yeah, when you're better 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.839 on third down, it's usually because you're. 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:48.080 Good on first and second. 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.040 Yeah, and you're third and short. 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.520 So uh, you know we so we didn't win at 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.520 the two goals that we said defense needs to okay, right, 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.719 and yet we still had a chance to win their game. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:02.360 You see what I'm saying. 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.400 So that's why all those numbers in stat they only 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.280 take you so far. After a while, you just gotta 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:10.200 make your play. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:15.280 You gotta play football. That's just it. I love the plan. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.920 The plan is the plan, as Mike. 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.080 But Mike Tyson said, until you get hit in my 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.560 mouth mouth right, and then everything changes. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.080 You know, they'll get. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.640 Big games where we go in there, we're like, man, 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.920 we got this game playing together. Next thing, you know, 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.560 it's our first time seeing Joe Montaylor and the West 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.000 Coast offense, and we're like, what the hell just happened? 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.000 We got be forty five to seventeen. Great game plan 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.560 going in, but sometimes you just gotta play. And this 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.000 game showed that as long as guys can salvage plays 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:47.440 and become football players, those stats, yes, they can't take 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.880 you far, but they're not gonna win it for you. 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:51.760 They don't give you an automatic win. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.560 And when I was going through my own play by 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.800 play at halftime, it reminded me that the Cowboys were 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.360 up seventeen four fourteen. The Cowboys had one hundred and 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.400 seventy total yards. Philadelphia had one hundred. 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:05.880 And fifty eight. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.400 Dak was ten of sixteen for one twenty three and 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.520 two touchdowns. Hurts was ten of thirteen for one hundred 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.840 and twenty yards. Uh Dak had a one thirty three 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.520 point six quarterback rating at halftime. The other thing that 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:24.000 stood out to me is aj Brown had five catches 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.920 for fifty seven yards, but their wide receivers in the 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.080 first half only had seven catches. He had five of them. 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:36.040 So they were they were almost, I want to say dominating, 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.080 but they were beaten in control right, yeah until the 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:39.880 third quarter. 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.920 Until the first possession of the third quarter, and then 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:46.040 a wide receiver DeVante touchdown and then a twenty nine 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:50.120 yard touchdown for the lead. And then now Boys only 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.680 had seven offensive plays in the third quarter, one possession, 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.280 Philadelphia had two scoring touchdown drives. 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.080 And the opening kickoff for the third quarter woes out 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.240 of bounds. Yeah, and they started the forty. So now 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:04.960 they only got to go. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:06.480 Now that was the opening kickoff? 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:07.680 Was the mask? 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:08.880 The face mask? 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:10.600 Yeah, yep, the face mask. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:17.720 So and that also when you pointed out that, you know, 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:18.839 the Cowboys got the. 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.839 Ball and didn't do anything. 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:23.680 Well and the reason they didn't do anything. 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.880 And at the forty five and Donald goes twenty six yards, right. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.800 He went eighteen yards, but it was a ten yards 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.839 to the twenty. Yeah, we went eighteen yards. But there 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.480 was a holding penalty on scoon Maker that was basically 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:37.920 a twenty eight yard penalty, and. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:44.400 It was a BS call. He stunned the guy and 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:48.120 the guy couldn't go anywhere, and so instead of being 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.400 at the twenty six, now you're at the forty five. 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:59.440 And they went three and out after that. But there 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.520 were so many different things like that in the game 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.720 that you know, I know, it comes down to, as 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:09.240 Everson said, making those plays at key times, you know, 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:13.280 and reminded me in the in the first half the 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:23.160 was it their first drive, second drive maybe when Sam 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:28.400 Williams got the sack fumble, the ball on one bounce 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.559 comes right to Hurts, right right. 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.520 To them and they went on to score. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:43.800 It's just like what, it's just weird. 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:45.280 They just continue to go. 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.880 It could have been your ball and then and then 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:53.520 Micah had a chance. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:01.840 They flipped that ball out. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.600 But he sounds like we feel, sounds just like we 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:08.920 feel I can't go any first. 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.640 That's how all of Cowboys fans. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.360 But here's the here's the other part of it, not 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.680 all Cowboy fans, because I bet if you go back 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.680 to your Twitter feed, it's all you know, this guy 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.600 played bad, that guy played bad, that guy played bad, 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.280 get rid of him, get rid of you got to 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:36.480 make changes, you know, you know, bench Michael Gallup, get 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:37.600 rid of him, get rid. 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.520 Of Terrence Steele. It just goes on and on and on. 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.760 But when you look inside the game, it's like all 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.400 this goofy stuff happened. 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:51.800 And that's why coaching and preparation is extremely important, you know, 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:56.240 because then you become you can prioritize things doing a 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.240 ballgame when you have you know, when you have it 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.040 in your head on what's important and what's not important, right, 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.080 you know what I mean? Uh, we talked about the 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.840 play itself with the tight end, you know, I mean, 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.160 he's got to be was it that wasn't Ferguson, was 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:17.480 it on the controversial maker Schoomaker, schoolmaker schoonmaker. You know 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.280 he could have actually run the route better, take one 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.120 more he could have taken one more step deeper, you know, 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.360 just a little things like that. I mean, you can 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.920 talk about guys being open here, being open there. When 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.040 the quarterback is back there, he's got to make that 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:31.120 decision right now. 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:32.920 You know, you don't have chance. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.600 To look at three receivers at once when the blitz 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.640 is coming and you got a one step drop. You know, 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.440 you got to make your decisions out. The ball's got 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:43.720 to get out us. You're in trouble. 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.400 So everyone's been saying on that play specifically, Brandon Cooks was. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.120 Open, everybody's open, and yeah. 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.480 But exactly yeah, to your point, he had to get 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.320 the ball out and Luke was the guy at that time. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.440 If he had only taken one more step forward, this 0:12:59.480 --> 0:12:59.840 would be a. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:01.400 Right right, right. 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.800 I mean, when he when he throws the ball to 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.360 Ceedee Lamb, I'm sure Ceedee Lamb is not the only 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.360 person opened on that play. 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.160 Or if we stop the replay, not when the ball 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.960 touches the jersey, but after the guy catches the ball. 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.280 That he's on the goal line, right. 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.600 I mentioned I mentioned your thing to McCarthy after he 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:24.719 finished it. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:25.920 Did you credit me for it? 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:30.720 I said, you know, Bill Jones said, this goes wrong 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.240 and he goes and he goes like sometimes I just 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.320 give up on what it is and what is it? 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.640 And I said, I asked Dak about it last night. 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:40.480 What did he say? 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.880 He was like, you know, it's something about cowboys and catches. 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.960 Well, cow boy wasn't passing the finist calls because the 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.880 guy was raped around him before the ball got there, 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.240 or we can just call he was tackling him before 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:53.880 the ball even. 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:54.959 And so I told him. 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.679 We talked about another one or two things, and I said, well, 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.480 you wanted to be a head coach, didn't you, And 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.920 he goes, I can't get out now. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:04.640 I got to finish. 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.200 I told that the Jason Harrett one day something went 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.920 really wrong and I can't remember what it was, and 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.080 I said, well, you wanted to be a head coach. 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.200 It's like, this is what happens. 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.200 They would have to carry me off the field. I 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:20.440 wouldn't make it through the game. 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.560 Well, it was so much to look at, and some 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.440 of it was very subtle. So you don't really know 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.120 a lot of what happened until you sit back and 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:31.640 go over everything again. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.040 I mean, you guys have time. 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.720 You're at home. You know you're looking at all this. 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.440 The faculty of the staff, they. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.120 Don't have that much time. Yeah, I mean real time. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.960 It is real time. And you know you have to 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:44.000 move on to the next play. 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:48.000 Yeah, right, you can't sit there and you can't do that. 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.600 And there was one play they asked him about why 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.560 didn't he challenge and he goes, well, by time we 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:58.520 got the word in, right, it's too late and he's 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.520 got to come up with the next play. He doesn't 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.720 have the ability to the right he got coach, within 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.080 the moment, you would have to call time out, right, Okay. 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.280 Let's wait right while. 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.960 And then you got thirty seconds and if you use 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.320 your timeouts, then you don't have you're able to get 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:15.560 all the way down to the field of the six 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.840 yard line with twenty seven seconds left and in position 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:23.160 to position, in position to lose twenty one yards. 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.720 And that's why the referees have to be on it. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.840 You have to hold them accountable, whether it's doing the 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:30.640 game or after the game. They have to be held 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.040 accountable for this stuff. Yeah, I don't care if we 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.520 win and lose, Right, you got to do your job, 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.000 win and lose. I want the referees to do their job. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:38.680 That's it. 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:46.280 Gain Wells touchdown their first one. It's one of those 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.680 things that you're at the twelve yard line but you're 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.440 in your nickel defense, and not only your nickel defense, 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:59.000 your second linebacker is a glorified safety. And what happens 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:04.920 is they pitch it out and Kelsey pulls and how 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.800 Kelsey's big, right, he's about six ' five maybe three something. 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.480 The only guy that could get in the hole to 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.560 stop it was Marquise Bell. 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:19.240 It was a mismatch and there was and they had. 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:25.520 Stefan Gilmour on the cowboy on the Philadelphia right side 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.720 in man coverage on the wide receiver. So now he's 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.120 in the end zone in man coverage and here comes 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.760 the running back and he's the last guy to turn 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.760 around and see it and it ends up being a touchdown. 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.040 Didn't even get touched. 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:39.560 No, you don't expect the corner beck. 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.200 Yeah, that's not get right. 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:48.720 But again, it's sometimes that how they play that defense 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:53.480 is a good thing, but sometimes you get overmatched, of 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.480 course with having a guy that's what six two two 0:16:56.640 --> 0:17:01.520 fifteen in Maybe this also came up by the way, 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:05.280 somebody said it sounded like Leyton vander Eris is out 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.760 for the season. I go no, and they go, well, 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.280 is he coming back this week? I said, no, he can't. 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.879 So there was a misconception out there that you had 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:15.960 to be out four weeks. You got to be out 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:16.639 four games. 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.840 Okay, yeah, we talked about that, right we did. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.480 Coming back for Panthers or after Panthers. 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:27.000 If he is ready to play, he's right, because you're 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.800 out five weeks without practicing. I don't know that you 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.560 go out there and practice once in pads and say, okay, 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.640 good to go get out there. So it might be 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:40.399 like you said, Savannah the game after Carolina, that he 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.480 would be ready to be back out there. But sometimes 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.440 you just have to play three linebackers. 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:49.000 I think did we ever come out with three linebackers 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:49.760 ruin the game? 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.480 Not that I noticed, although they did use Micah at linebacker. 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:55.919 I don't know a handful of times. 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:56.919 Maybe I don't know how. 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:00.480 Well they've had opportunities for the three linebacker set. We 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:02.360 just don't feel it obviously. 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.040 Well, I don't know that they have another. We'll see 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:06.000 if Evans is ready. 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.960 Well, Evans did not get any defensive snaps in this game. 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:10.600 I thought he got I'm. 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:11.280 Pretty sure he didn't. 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:12.119 I thought he had one. 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.280 I think he had like thirteen special teams was the. 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:17.600 Last That was the last game. Yeah, I got it 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:21.280 right here, Evans. 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.639 He had fifteen special team snaps. 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.160 You're exactly right, Yep. 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:31.280 No defensive snaps. Marquis Bell had fifty eight snaps on 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.560 defense and DeMont Clark had fifty seven. 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:38.120 So that was the majority, about eighty percent of the snaps. 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:42.520 Yeah, I don't have the percentage. But how about this. 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:47.639 Think back when training camp started, if I was to 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:53.840 tell you, Mickey that Marquise Bell against Philadelphia at mid 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:58.840 season is going to get fifty eight defensive snaps at linebacker, 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.919 what would you have said? It's crazy? 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.840 Yeah, And it was ninety four and two percent of 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:12.120 the snaps there, you go, both had, so they came 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:13.520 up one linebacker short. 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:18.080 Well, obviously this is something that we need. I mean, 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.520 they don't they don't, you know, they don't want to 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.359 play in these many plays. It's something that we're forced 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.120 to do, right, You know so by what the LV 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.440 going down, you know that that really put us in 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:29.840 the bond. 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:32.560 So and that's that's why they signed with Shawn Evans 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.639 and he's only been here a couple of weeks. The 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:40.280 on the right prior to that Kenneth Gainwell touchdown run 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.159 was the fourth and three. It was a fourth and 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.720 three conversion the past to Dallas Goddard and I haven't 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.080 gone back and looked at it, but what memory serves 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.640 me if they go ahead. They went no huddle after that, 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.920 and they did not give Dallas time to change personnel. 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.639 It was almost like that Gamewell play was married to 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:03.000 the fourth and north. Yeah, and they I believe they 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.119 put the tight end in motion to the left and 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:11.640 uh so linebackers for the Cowboys were shaded. 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.840 You know what happened that way? It ended up with 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:18.320 Jordan Lewis in single coverage. There you go, and it's 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:24.560 a mismatch. Small Dbs. I don't know if he's small, 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:26.000 but he's small enough. 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:26.880 He's short. 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.359 Compared to the guys coming out there blocking them. He's small. 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.320 All right, we're just getting started on this edition of 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:37.320 mixed shots. Much more still to come. 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.120 I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.760 And they snapped the press. Guy who looks right, it's 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.880 not there. He escapes left. He'll look for a first down. 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.560
