No, yes, it wasn't 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:27.520 two days ago. 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.399 It's the first day of September twenty first was the 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.400 first day of fall interesting. 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.440 Azy a few days ago. What I meant to say was, 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:34.520 it is game Eve. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.200 It is not to be mistaken with Christmas Eve. 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.760 That part the Cowboys get ready to take on the 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:46.880 New York Giants at seven fifteen pm on Thursday, whoa 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.639 central time. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.520 Make sure to tune in. 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:54.520 But anyways, ladies, when you talk about well, I wouldn't 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.720 talk about there seems to be a lot of what's 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.760 it called the meme the Little Spider Man mean fo fingerpointing, 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.680 A whole lot of blaming going around for this one 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.840 and two start for the Dallas Cowboys. You're seeing fans 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:14.560 frustrating first frustrated people saying that it's maybe a little 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.360 bit on Jerry Jones, maybe some Mike McCarthy players are 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:21.680 saying that there's just a lack of detail that they're 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.200 taking on when it comes down to game time. I 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.040 want to ask you all this, who is really to 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.200 blame for this one? 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.440 And to start I'm gonna start with. 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.480 So honestly, there's there's women I can go around to everybody. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.800 So we've heard people blame Jerry Jones. We've heard blame 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.880 put be put on Mike McCarthy. We've heard people blame Zimmer, 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:48.000 We've heard blame uh of the players. We've heard the players, 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.480 in so many words, blame each other. And none of 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.920 those people are necessarily wrong. But it's like, if you 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.600 really want to get down to the nitty gritty in 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.320 terms of who's most responsible or what can be done now, 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.520 I do. I'm inclined to say that it falls on 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.200 the players right now, mainly because so many of the 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.520 players are pointing to each other and to other guys 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.120 in the locker room. I mean, there's been a tiny 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:14.480 bit of expression of like okay XYZ about the coaches, YadA, YadA, YadA, 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.800 but not a lot. Most of what we're hearing is 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.080 these players saying, Okay, if guys would just do their jobs, 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.320 if they would just step up in these ways. And 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.840 even when you start like really looking at the games 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.799 and breaking down the games, you can see that there 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.960 are ways that despite how people might feel about personnel 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.680 and about scheme, there are things that players aren't doing well. 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.920 We've seen the mistackles we saw in the Sames, defensive tackles, 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.040 chasing the gaps and popping up out of their stands 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.880 to get and pushed around. We saw the misalignment. 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.720 Heck. Also, I don't know what words. 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.720 I can say, heck, but also talk to us yesterday 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.160 about the misalignment in the Ravens game. And then on 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.320 the offensive side, we've seen running backs taking the wrong holes. 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.880 We've seen poor execution of blocking on the offensive line, 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.360 like just this whole trap thing that they just can't 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.280 seem to get right, you know. So we have seen 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.120 instances of players not getting it right, and how you 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.280 could see how if they were to get it a 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.320 little better that things might go better. And that does 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.000 seem to be the consensus among them. So I'm like, well, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.400 I'm just gonna go with what they're saying because they're 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.880 right there experiencing it now. Personally, I do also agree 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.960 with the people who say that there are some scheme issues, 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.400 but like I said, the players are saying it's the players, 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.839 So I'm gonna go with that. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:26.440 That was good. 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.000 That was good. I was like, the soapbox was right there, 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.000 and that was great. I want to jump on that 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:32.200 soapbox too. 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.279 I'm crying, all right. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.839 It goes everywhere. The blame goes you said it, It 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.440 goes everywhere. It goes to players, it goes to coaches, 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.680 it goes to ownership, it goes all the way up 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.279 the ladder, goes all the way around. It's a domino 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.159 effect that you go back to. Even last year started 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.320 because guess what you could have done last year. You 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.600 could assign Dak Prescott, which would have avoided an entire 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:01.039 I guess plethora of issues that came down to lack 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.400 of depth in certain positions that you knew needed it. 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.680 It came down to not being able to retain guys 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.039 that could have helped this locker room. And then that 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.200 made the domino's fall because then you're relying on draft, 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.920 great draft and develop. That sounds fantastic until you realize 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.279 it really takes a couple of years for these guys 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.200 to develop in the positions they're expected to develop in. 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.479 So then, Okay, you're putting all this pressure on this 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.240 rookie class. Well, guess what, they're still rookies no matter what. 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.520 They are still rookies learning an NFL playbook, which I 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.719 will always give them grace for. Okay, you have that issue, Well, 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:39.800 then that trickles down into every single part of your game, 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.440 and guess what, the same parts that you've been saying 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:47.000 over and over and over your downfalls, run game, run defense. 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.599 I have to blame that on coaching as well. I 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.720 have to blame that on scheme because some of the 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.880 personnel that is in these positions now, we're not here before, 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.039 and yet you have the same issues. So for me, 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.279 it goes all the way around, starting from the top, 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.440 all the way back down to the bottom. Everybody kind 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.839 of needs to get it together, come to a consensus 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.120 of hey, this is what it is, this is the 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.480 position we're in now. We need to do our jobs. 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.080 And that goes all the way around for everybody. Play 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.240 the play the ball that you are learning to play, 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.080 learn your playbook, do your work outside of it. I 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.440 I do know there was some kind of emphasis, especially 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.320 from the veteran players, of the guys not doing work 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.000 outside being a professional and you know, doing their jobs. 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.440 So study a little harder, do a little more, want 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.479 it a little more. I mean, heck, if you want 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:39.440 to win, show it. So yeah, I'm gonna say it 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.880 goes all the way around, from top to bottom. There's 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:47.360 blame for pretty much everybody. So that's that's my soapbox. Here, 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.760 here's yours. She got teary eye? 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:56.479 Are you good? Yeah, I'm good. 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:58.320 I have plenty of. 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:01.799 Right ahead. 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.760 Okay, Yeah, I was just gonna add to mine while 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.960 while you were fixing your your eye. But I do 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:09.920 agree that a lot of it has to do with scheme, because, like, 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.480 as you were talking, I was saying about the fact 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.880 that when it comes to scheme, like, so players are 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.920 kind of programmed to blame themselves anyway, because they're programmed to, like, 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.080 you know, control the controllables. We hear phrases like that 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.720 a lot, so they're gonna be inclined to be like, well, 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.160 this is what I could do better, This is what 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.120 you know, the people in my position could do better. 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.840 But like, when it comes to scheme, a good scheme 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.440 should make it easier for guys to make decisions quickly 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.240 and play fast without having to think so hard. And 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.320 that is one thing that it does kind of feel 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.120 like they're all having to think really hard and everything 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.680 does feel difficult. And I see it because I'm looking 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.880 at it from a different perspective, and I almost don't 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.840 even expect any of them to admit that, Yeah, this 0:07:51.000 --> 0:08:00.000 is like really taxing mentally, like this scheme feels stressful. 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.320 When they brought in them or I'll speak on what 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.880 I've been told defensively, they loved the scheme, they were 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.120 excited about it, and they felt like it was something 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:08.520 that was simple. 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.400 So now it's kind of showing a whole different. 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.880 Side of where it's like, maybe it is a little different, 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:15.560 you know what I'm saying. 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.920 Like I say, I never heard them say simple. I 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.360 think they believed it would be effective, was. 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.280 Told simple, and I was told that it was something 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.080 that they were excited about. So that's why I'm kind 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.720 of confused on Hmmm, well, then why is it not working? 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:31.040 Honest? 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.000 See, when I talk about a complicated scheme that makes 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:34.839 something hard, I am thinking more about the offense and 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:35.640 about the defense. 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.280 So I agree, maybe is making it simple? 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.200 I agree there, But to answer your question as far 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.240 as who gets to blame, I think everything y'all said 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:49.800 is valid. You can only scheme and stuff can only 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.720 like fix so much. And when you talk about specifically 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.360 on the defensive side of the all the negligence that 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:59.160 is the DT position and what we have experienced with 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.760 that and the fact that they just did not address 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:06.560 that position in the off season. They just acted Hankins 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.760 left and they just acted like it wasn't a therimental 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:16.160 and to for this specific defense, this this scheme, you 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:21.679 need dts that can hold double teams. You need because 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.640 it doesn't matter how good the linebackers are or what 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.360 else is going on. It doesn't matter how you scheme it. 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.840 If guys, you know, you hear like you said, you 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.200 hear guys talk about, oh well, we just have to 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.679 do our job. Well, what if somebody cannot? Yeah, and 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:41.120 that's what's happening. There are people who cannot do their job. 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:45.240 So you're okay, is that a Masie Smith cannot do it? 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.960 No, it's it's a it's a to me. 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.520 The blame would go to the front office and they're there. 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.320 And you talked about the fact that if they would 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.120 have paid Doc and ceed earlier, maybe you could have 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.680 And to your point just that you made about the draft, 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:06.480 there are some positions that this team is as much 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.280 as people don't like it, this team isn't it wasn't 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.000 a position I don't know, but now in a position 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.360 to win now, there are some positions when you talk 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.880 about DT specifically that to your point, take time to 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:21.120 develop and you can't rely on you can't rely on 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.280 young guys to come in and just get it right 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.960 away with those positions. You have to get veteran tenure 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.280 in those certain positions. There were some good veteran dts 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.679 available this offseason, you couldn't pay them because of how 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.440 you handled your contracts. So that's number one. Number two 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.640 as far as the offense goes, you can't run the 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.160 ball right now. Your offensive line needs to be better, 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.800 hear me out. I hear that, but you can't run 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.559 the ball at all given what you have going on. 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.120 And again, the way that they handled the running back 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.680 position not conducive for this offense to be better. You 0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.520 talk about you can. I agree the concepts, passing concepts 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.640 and stuff are not creative. They're not what you would expect. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.000 But we also have to consider where the offensive line 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:07.720 is and a lot of this stuff is not working 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:13.040 because you can't run the ball. So I to that say, 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.960 this could have been handled better by the front office 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.640 and the way that they went about attacking free agency 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.400 and things of that nature. They waited too long. Now 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.000 they're in a position to where they have to work 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.240 with what they got, and you're right, Jazz, they're not 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:30.040 going to there's finger pointing, but it's not really finger pointing. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.319 They really I think they can't say what they really 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:32.959 want to say. 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.480 I think some of them have said what they really want. 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.760 What they really want to say, especially when it comes to. 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.400 On the offensive side of the ball, the scheme and 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.400 the black thereof because. 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.320 But this is a scheme they were under last year. 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:49.880 They were under the scheme line year. 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.160 But you can only do so much with your run 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.080 game if the offensive line isn't holding up. Last year 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.800 what I think it was, it was a personnel problem 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.320 with Tony Pollard is still coming back from a leg injury, 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.160 and the scheme was not trying to get the run 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.400 game going until what week ten, And there's things you 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.480 can do late in the season, and they're. 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:16.280 Not doing things particularly to help with And this is 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:20.320 my problem with the offensive line stuff. There are other 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.360 teams in the NFL that don't have this offensive line. 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.600 Even so, just from a name standpoint, and I hear you, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.640 I understand Cooper Bebe's a rookie. I understand Tyler Guidan's 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.920 a rookie and they're still learning. I understand that Tan 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.319 Steel isn't playing the best football. I feel like we've 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.079 seen better, We've seen offensive lines get it done with less. 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.920 I'm not sure the play caller is helping fit what 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:45.400 you are able to do with this offensive line right now. 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.400 And so the lack of run game, it's the These 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.439 are the two things you came out of the playoffs 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.000 saying we can't run the ball, we can't stop the run. 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.640 What did you do in the off season to make 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:56.880 you feel like you could do that? 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.360 So crazy thing is if you were to ask the 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.520 powers that be, they would probably say like, oh, well, 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:02.360 we did make moves. 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:03.839 You brought in this guy when we drafted it. 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.040 Yeah, but it's like it's it's inadequate though, And that 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.280 also makes me wonder where's the evaluation, because, like you said, 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.440 what if some of these guys can't do their jobs 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:15.640 or what if the guys that they're bringing in aren't 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.559 the guys who they need to get the jobs done 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.240 that need to be done. But who was it that's 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.840 saying like, Okay, I actually have seen this person execute 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.280 X Y Z or this is what this person needs 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.280 to work on. We hear a lot about guys working 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.920 on these things by themselves in the off season, but 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.240 when it comes to okay, who is actually pointing out 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:35.160 the shortcomings? 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:36.600 Well, but how. 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:38.440 Much can you really do that if you don't have 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.160 the depth in certain pieces to even like find a 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.040 solution if they're not adequate enough for that. 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:44.960 And that's what we're talking about the off season as well, 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.079 like when you're even when you're evaluating the people that 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.400 you're bringing in and the sense of urgency that that 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.640 should be applied to these positions, there. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.559 Also is a stubbornness also too with respect and I 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.320 mean it just is what it is. Is like Cowboys 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.679 hired I don't know, remember last year. I don't know 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.000 if you were here yet, they hired all these analytics people. 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.120 Yes, yes, they've been doing that every year. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.959 They are going against analytics and you can tell that 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.520 in the way they play and their inability to adapt 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.840 to the trends of the NFL is what's driving me 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:15.839 the most bonkers. 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.440 Well, that's actually funny because remember when I think this 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.080 was when I came in and you're starting to see 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.880 the success of motion and other offenses have success with that. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.320 Then the Cowboys started implementing that a little bit. So 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:32.160 it's like, I feel like we're just behind the eight ball, always, always, 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:33.640 that's the issue. Then. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.440 Yeah, and my thing too is you even go back 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:42.240 to last year when yes, you're still having the same problems, 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.480 but you were under different coach, a DC I should say, 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.360 uh back then. And and what I think was kind 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.400 of underestimated was what a transition it would be from 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.600 dan Quinn to myke Gimmer for these guys emotional from 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.000 the way that he coaches and how he runs things, 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.560 it is night and day. And I'm I'm not saying 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.760 it's a bad thing, but what I am saying is 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.160 when you're used to a dan Quinn who was pretty 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.520 much like the fun uncle as we would call him, 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.720 to the Zimmer, that's like, do what you need to do. 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.360 You're not going to guess what you don't get snapcounts anymore. 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.440 Like I don't care, no excuses. It's a very different 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.960 feeling and I feel like for them and I'm not 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.440 making excuses. I'm just this is what I've picked up on. 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.760 It's a very different anxiety that they're playing with, which 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.120 is why I feel like you're seeing this hero ball 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.320 topic being brought up so much because they feel like 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.800 they have to overcompensate and make the big plays to 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.480 show off so that way they're not getting punished in 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.080 ways that they know Zimmer will, which is, hey, you 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.200 don't want to do anything, sit down then, So I 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:44.360 don't feel like Dan would. 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.240 Do that now I think the I didn't think. I 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.240 think the trickle down effect of the lack of good 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:51.840 DT play is killing. 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.200 You well and and only, and we said this earlier 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.960 this week, but just blaming that for the defensive woes, 0:15:58.080 --> 0:15:59.040 it's it's getting old. 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.720 It is it stacks are true. 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.160 The same down effect, but it's a trickle down effect 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.640 that's making people think they have to overcompensate and they 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.120 not doing their jobs because they're trying to overcompensate. 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.840 Like it starts there, but then the web continues to 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.160 grow because of it. So it's not just that that's 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.080 an issue. And I feel like everyone's been so fixated 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.240 on like DT DT DT. Yes it's important, but like 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.760 it's trickling into other things that are just not going well. 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.880 It's almost like all these things are like multiple diseases 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:37.160 with a common symptom, which is like losing. 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.360 I don't look at I don't want that. 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.080 Let's say that they around that one. 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.440 Let's say that they fix all these things right. 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.240 Let's say they go on a Thursday, they stop in 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.280 the run, they run the ball effectively. 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.560 Don't drink the colon, and all the things. 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.880 That you know they had struggles with the first three weeks. 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.840 Will win Thursday against the Giants. 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.800 Me much like what the losses. It will depend on 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:00.440 how they win. 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.240 Like with the losses, we had to kind of look 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:04.800 at it, break it down and be like, Okay, what 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:06.240 is going on? And I think it's going to be 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:07.680 the same thing with the win. A lot of people 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.359 are predicting the Cowboys will win by somewhere between a 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.640 field goal and a touchdown. I think the last prediction 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.520 that I heard from people who do all that number 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.159 of stuff that we're not allowed to do, it was 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:21.800 five and a half points, right, So that's that's what 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:25.720 people are expecting. Even considering how the Giants have struggled, 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.720 They're looking at how the Cowboys are struggling to be like, yeah, 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:28.680 the Cowboys will win, but. 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:29.240 Not by much. 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:31.960 So if they are able to go out and win 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.359 by more than that, that might say a little bit 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.639 of something. Will it be something that I'm like celebrating, like, 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:38.919 oh yeah, it went like no, but if we go 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.280 out there and we see the defensive line do a 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.680 little bit better in their alignment, if we see them 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:45.760 actually do a little bit better in the run game, 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.760 I feel like that'll be like, Okay, they're trending in 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.000 this direction. So there's there will still be a lot 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.639 of questions to be answered regardless, But it's kind of 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.800 like when you're looking at a stock and you might 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:58.960 not know how much money that company is going to 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:00.760 make at the end of a quarter, but you can 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:02.280 look at that line and be like, oh, is it 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.080 trending up or is it trending down? 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:05.200 Is the same flat? 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:05.679 You know? 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.399 That's what I don't know what they looking for, Like 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.240 where are we improving? Because like, yeah, there's areas where 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.120 this offense is trending down in ways that we don't 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.840 normally expect, Like we I've gotten so used to saying, yeah, 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.480 Dak Prescott is great against the blitz, Dak Prescott is 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:21.680 get great at tight window throws. 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:21.760 It. 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:23.639 When I started looking at the numbers, I was just like, 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.320 is this the bizarre world cowboys? What's going on? 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:30.960 They literally statistically do everything better. Yeah, on defense and offense. Yeah, 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.000 right right now the Giants Giants. 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.840 Yeah. Oh, to answer your question, I think it could 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.199 put you with the starting line to be better. I 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.640 don't think it necessarily is your end all be all fixed. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:45.640 Because here's the thing about this kind of game, too, 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:47.960 is when I was looking back at everything, and you 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.199 know me former weather forecaster, I have to check the 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:52.679 weather for this game. There's rain in the forecast. What 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.000 does rain game tell me? Run game? So guess what's 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.840 gonna be tested? Two of your downfalls on both sides 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:02.840 of the ball here. So you know what, if they 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.880 win and the run game gets going, all is well 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.560 with that the run defense holds up. Cool, You're at 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.080 the starting line for fixing your problem. They'll be consistent 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.240 with it for the next however, many weeks like it 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.040
