I can make fun like, hey, 35 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 8: yeah there was, but right now I'm not in a 36 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 8: joking in a joking mood right now, of course this 37 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 8: is this is bad. 38 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 7: Execution is the theme of this thing, mister Hugson, whether 39 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 7: it be on offense, whether it be defense, you getting 40 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 7: the reds on a whole bunch. You gotta be able 41 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 7: to finish middle eight. Hit you again four minutes right 42 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 7: before the half, four minutes after I think you had 43 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 7: an opportunity to score twice in there, four minutes right 44 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 7: before you could have got a touch down the field. 45 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 7: Go and got the ball back and try to score again. 46 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 7: But execution, defense. We're gonna have a lot of time 47 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 7: to talk about it. But just right now, large picture execution. 48 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 7: I think I heard the player say that communication was 49 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 7: an issue at this time. I think it all goes 50 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 7: into that communication. 51 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 3: Execution. 52 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 7: Knowing what you're doing being his zonne player versus man 53 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 7: player is all missed. 54 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 6: Up so. 55 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 8: Well, it's still early in the season, but at the 56 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 8: same time, I'm just having a hard time thinking how 57 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 8: you can actually improve this team on defense, specifically, how 58 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 8: can you improve on defense for the remainder of the season. 59 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 8: I know we have still many many weeks left and 60 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 8: a lot of football to play, but do you actually 61 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 8: have the personnel to execute what you're trying to do? 62 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 8: Is the voice that's leading that group, the defensive coordinator. 63 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: Is there? 64 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 8: Like how much wiggle room do you give him? What 65 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 8: is the limit here? Knowing that this is a and 66 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 8: this is what I'm struggling with. We know this is 67 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 8: a new coaching staff here with the Cowboys, but we 68 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 8: know how how would you say this? Like, you don't 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 8: have a lot of room because of the amount of 70 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 8: pressure that continues to build. You must exactly and it's 71 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 8: not your fault. It's just like what the Cowboys history 72 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 8: brings to this point. So it's just at what point 73 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 8: do you decide to make any big changes? Because honestly, yes, 74 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 8: three weeks in, it's still early. It's still early. But 75 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 8: at the same time, there's no patience there. And what 76 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 8: is what you see is not a sign of improvement. 77 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 8: If anything, you left that game hurt with key players 78 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 8: being hurt, and Brian Choldenheimer he said he doesn't expect 79 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 8: any of these injuries to be major, but still you 80 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 8: keep getting hit, hit and hit, and there doesn't seem 81 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 8: to be a light at the end of the tunnel. 82 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 8: For the defense, specifically. 83 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: This offense was it's what it needed to do. I mean, 84 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 2: it needed to score points for them to win. And 85 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: we can talk about the defense. We knew going into 86 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: this game the defense was going to struggle. We all 87 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: picked the games. Every one of us gave the Bears 88 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: thirty points, basic lit exceptional Fosh. I mean, I understand 89 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: what Watch does with his scores and stuff. 90 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 3: I gave him third. I thought it was put off. 91 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, I think you're right about that. But 92 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: to me, we all knew that there was a capability 93 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: of the Bears finding themselves, whether it was DJ Moore. 94 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: You know, we talked about Roman dounesday. They didn't really 95 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: run the ball all that great the first two weeks. 96 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: They got some traction yesterday a little bit with Swift, 97 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: we made the quarterback look absolutely great. The way we 98 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 2: knew that going in where this team now is its 99 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: offense is going to have to win games, and so 100 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to focus on what they didn't do on offense. 101 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 2: I didn't I'm going to focus on the fact, yeah 102 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 2: they ran the football. Yeah that was all great and dandy, 103 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: But Alsden, you get seventeen points down and you're not 104 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 2: running the football anymore, Maybe you should have tried. Maybe 105 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: you should have just kept going, you know, maybe that's 106 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: what would have kind of you know, especially down on 107 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: the goal line instead of throwing an interception. Maybe should 108 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 2: have tried to run that one in So, to me, 109 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: the offense lost you a football game is because I 110 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: knew going in the defense was going to not be 111 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 2: good enough. We do. We know that as Cowboy fans. 112 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: There is a big time struggle. When you watch this 113 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: film on NFL dot Com or you go back and 114 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: watch the game, you're going to see they missed some 115 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 2: opportunities on offense. They missed some whole shot throws against 116 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: Cover two where Dak checked the ball down. Am I 117 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 2: blaming it on Dak? 118 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 9: No? 119 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: Am I blaming on some pass rush problems they have. Yeah, 120 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: a couple of guys broke down here and there, and 121 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: all of a sudden they run a max protection and 122 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: then they have their right it's going to their left 123 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: tackle break down and give up a sack. You know, 124 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: these are the kinds of things that this offense can't have. 125 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: The defense isn't good enough. I'm not gonna even talk 126 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: about really the defense anymore, because there's really nothing more 127 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: you can talk about this team. This team is only 128 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: gonna be as good winning games as their offenses. But 129 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: maybe they'll get some guys back, maybe the defense will rally. 130 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 2: I just don't see it right now. I just don't 131 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: see that. But if they're only gonna score fourteen points 132 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 2: in a game and miss opportunities and turn the ball 133 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 2: over and give up sacks and pout during a game 134 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: after a dropped interception, this team ain't gonna win many games. 135 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 6: Yeah, it was. 136 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 5: Honestly, it was clear to me, Brian last week, after 137 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 5: what we saw against the Giants, that this is a 138 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 5: team that's going to need to score a bunch of 139 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 5: points every week, and literally. 140 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: If they don't, they get a stop. 141 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 5: If they don't, you got to exactly, you're gonna have 142 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 5: one or two stops in the game where you gotta 143 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 5: make the play like they did against New York the 144 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 5: one interception that was the play of the game for 145 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 5: the defense. They gave up a lot of yards, a 146 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 5: lot of points. I think that's going to be, at 147 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 5: least for now what we've seen, it suggests that's going 148 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 5: to be the twenty twenty five version of the Dallas Cowboys. 149 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 5: And if that's the case now, it puts a ton 150 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 5: of pressure on your offense. And I think that's why 151 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 5: you don't want to have a team that's so heavily 152 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 5: one way or the other, because if the offense for 153 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 5: whatever reason, and I'll get into this in just a second, 154 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 5: my belief is that it was the loss of Seed 155 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 5: Lamb and we went back to basically what we were 156 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 5: last year, which is when you don't have two options 157 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 5: out there, basically teams say we'll take away your top option. 158 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 5: What you're gonna do now and they don't have another 159 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 5: playmaker that they'll consistently go to the bank that But 160 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 5: that being said, if their offense isn't able to really 161 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 5: put up a lot of points, if they're not able 162 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 5: to outscore the opponent, it's just that they're gonna have 163 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 5: a day like they had yesterday and it won't even 164 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 5: be close. 165 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 8: Well, again, we talked about this yesterday, Derek. The scariest 166 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 8: part to me is when you look out the schedule, 167 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 8: this half of the season is supposed to be quote 168 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 8: unquote the easier half of the season. Like after the bye, 169 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 8: you start facing other teams that you know it's gonna 170 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 8: be a tough, tough challenge. So it's so concerning to 171 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 8: know that you're struggling this much. Even in the wind 172 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 8: against the Giants, you were struggling because you allowed look 173 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 8: at how that game turned out to be, and it 174 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 8: was against the Giants, no disrespect, but he was against 175 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 8: the Giants. So again, when you see how you're struggling 176 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 8: right now and you look at what's ahead, it's like, 177 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 8: oh my god, how do how do we fix this? 178 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: Well, you hope that maybe you get some guys back, Yeah, 179 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: you know, and watch and I were talking about that 180 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: this morning a little bit, that maybe you get some 181 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: of these corners back that can play the way that 182 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: maybe Fluse wants to play. But there's there's things on 183 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: this defense that are just it's glaring when you have 184 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 2: guys that are wide open, and I'm you know, when 185 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: I worked across the hall, there I would if I 186 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 2: didn't know what a coverage was, I'd go ask a coach. 187 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: There's a situation where DJ Moore standing wide open in 188 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: the end zone and I'm thinking, are they playing man 189 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 2: on one side and zone on the other. I'm confused 190 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 2: by what coverage they're playing here. I think the players 191 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: are confused by what coverage they're playing, you know, And 192 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: unfortunately they actually get a jam at the line of scrimmage. 193 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: What happens to Digs He slips, you know. 194 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 4: Something we asked him to do, we wanted him to be. 195 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: We don't release more press, and then all of a sudden, 196 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 2: he slips, and then now the ball. You know, the 197 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 2: quarterback wasn't even looking anywhere else. That's where he was 198 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: going to throw the ball, and it just so happened 199 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: that your player fell down. But this defense right now 200 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 2: is not good enough. They're just not and maybe getting 201 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: some personnel back will help it. But it is going 202 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 2: to turn in. You've essentially become the Cincinnati Bengals last year, 203 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 2: a nine to eight football team where you had to 204 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: hope that you could score twenty eight thirty thirty five 205 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: points and maybe you do get the one or two stops. 206 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: That's what the Bears were able to do. The Bears 207 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 2: were able to get one or two stops in that 208 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: football game, and that's what's separated for them. 209 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 5: You know, Brian to that point, what's disheartening about it 210 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 5: is even the guys that they're going to get back 211 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 5: to me, they are not at the positions where I 212 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 5: think Dallas is struggling most on defense. I think they're 213 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 5: struggling most right now at safety and at linebacker. Yeah, 214 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 5: shoes coming back, but you're still gonna have another linebacker 215 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 5: out there, maybe two other linebackers out there. And I 216 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 5: just don't think right now in the scheme that they're 217 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 5: being asked to play. It looks like and again this 218 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 5: is just from looking and what you think you're observing, 219 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 5: it looks like they're a bit lost on you know, 220 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 5: when you're playing a zone. Yeah, you got to play 221 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 5: the zone, but you also have to understand what the 222 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 5: team is throwing at you. Who are the players that 223 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 5: could possibly threaten your zone? And sometimes you move outside 224 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 5: of that zone because the guys that are that are 225 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 5: left that are in the area that could threaten your area, 226 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 5: and they just don't seem like they have a. 227 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 4: Great feel for where they should be playing the zone. 228 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 5: And I don't think they're gonna get much help from 229 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 5: the injured, from the guys that are injured that will 230 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 5: be coming back in those areas basically up the middle 231 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 5: of the field. That just seems like it's something they're 232 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 5: gonna have to get better or you're gonna have to 233 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 5: change the scheme. And I'm not sure that either one 234 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 5: is something that you do in season and think that 235 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 5: you're gonna get a lot better from it. 236 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 7: Maybe not hurt guys coming back. But we did see 237 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 7: wy Ye play a little bit. 238 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: I know you're gonna bring that up. 239 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 7: So yeah, Donovan Wilson and hey, the coaches are gonna say, 240 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 7: we just wanted to see blah dah dah. 241 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: But you know, we all we all got. 242 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 7: Eyes and and one year is better fit to do 243 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 7: some you know, deeper zone things than Donovan is and 244 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 7: and and maybe just maybe it's me trying to be 245 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 7: as positive as I could possibly be when Revel just 246 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 7: watching his film and in college, they did a bunch 247 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 7: of the zone stuff, some match things he can play, man, 248 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 7: but for the most part it was a bunch of zone. 249 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 7: Maybe it's a fit thing right. If you know Revel May, 250 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 7: he may not be a better corner than you know 251 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 7: uh kyer Elm right now, but if he understands better, 252 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 7: then maybe he's a he's a better fit right now. 253 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 7: As far as your your safeties go, you are right 254 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 7: there there. There's there's nothing you could do outside to 255 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 7: go get big change right now. And I think that 256 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 7: this is a coaching staff front office. It could be. 257 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 3: I don't know. 258 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 7: I just I just I just started working here. Maybe 259 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 7: they want to lean on the guys that make more 260 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 7: money right now. I don't know, but I think there 261 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 7: are there are some young guys that can move around 262 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 7: a little bit better, a little bit more athleticism, and 263 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 7: you know, sometimes you just got to take guys out 264 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 7: of some fire. Donovan Wilson, when he's in a whole 265 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 7: bunch of space, that's not that's not good for him. 266 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 7: When it's right in front of him, he broke up 267 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 7: this almost touchdown, but it was right in front of him, 268 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 7: and all he had to do was take three steps 269 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 7: and hit somebody. That's what Donovan does. He does well, 270 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 7: that's what he's real, real good at. But if he 271 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 7: has to play backwards and be responsible for three other 272 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 7: people around him with five with five offensive players coming 273 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 7: right at him, and he has to figure, I'm not 274 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 7: calling nobody, you know, you know, less mental process guy 275 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 7: than anybody else because I you know, we don't know 276 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 7: the play calls, won't or anything else. But just what 277 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 7: it looks like from here is that the defense as 278 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 7: a unit, the DB's as a unit, they don't all 279 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 7: know what the you know, what their teammates are doing. 280 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 7: I actually made this analogy, Derek, if you don't mind. Sure, 281 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 7: as a center as offensive lineman, I played much better 282 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 7: when I knew what my guards were doing. You know 283 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 7: what angles am I taking as a as a down block? 284 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 7: If I know somebody was pulling right behind me right, 285 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 7: or if what tackle was doing, just hey, we need 286 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 7: to double team this guy. It's just certain things that 287 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 7: you do differently when you know what the man next 288 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 7: to you is doing. It looks like the Cowboys defense. 289 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 7: They're trying to learn their assignment and they have no 290 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 7: clue what the man next to him is doing. So 291 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 7: on the digs up the digs thing right, so he 292 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 7: slips or whatnot because he's jamming and the you know, 293 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 7: slip whatever, But maybe he doesn't do that if he 294 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 7: knows that Hooker behind him is not helping, not help 295 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 7: because Hooker's in man. So Hooker stepped over. And maybe 296 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 7: if Diggs is thinking, okay, well, if I missing slip here, 297 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 7: maybe I'm fine. But if Diggs thinking okay, well, I 298 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 7: know Hooker's not, maybe he plays a little more conservative 299 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 7: right on some of these third and twos. There's this 300 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 7: image floating around, flowing around social Media's hilarious. It's third 301 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 7: and two and all the corners is like ten yards away. 302 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 7: Maybe if you go, all right, they're back there. Let 303 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 7: me step up on this third and two a little 304 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 7: bit because I at least have a feeling what they're doing, 305 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 7: or if it's third and ten, don't jam. I think 306 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 7: everybody's got to come together and figure this out. What 307 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 7: you got to ask yourself is how many games do 308 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 7: you lose trying to figure this thing out. I think 309 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 7: that's the biggest issue for the other Cowboys right now. 310 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 5: And I will throw the sin real quick. I know 311 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 5: last week we talked a lot about Donovan Wilson at safety. 312 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 5: I think Mollie Hooker had some issues that game as well. 313 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 5: Last game caught Hooker played pretty well this game, that 314 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 5: four down touchdown, the DJ Moore looked a lot like 315 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 5: he didn't know that there was a guy that was 316 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 5: behind him that basically just went around behind him and 317 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 5: was just standing in the end zone. 318 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 4: And I think that was his zone. 319 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 5: Again, we don't know that because we don't know the call, 320 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 5: but that's certainly what it looks like on film. And 321 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 5: so I think again, yes, you can say, Okay, we 322 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 5: can put wan Ye in there, maybe take some of 323 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 5: those some of those plays for Donovan Wilson, but Malik 324 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 5: ain't playing. 325 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 4: He didn't play. 326 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 5: Great yesterday either. So that's what I'm talking about. When 327 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 5: you talk with the linebackers and the safeties. You might 328 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 5: be able to throw a guy in there here or there, 329 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 5: but there are gonna be other guys that are still 330 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 5: out there that are still not getting it done. And 331 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 5: that becomes a question for me of does this coaching 332 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 5: staff are they teaching this in a way where the 333 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 5: players can comprehend it and then can they play fast. 334 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 4: With it or are they just not cable? 335 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 5: Is this outside the wheelhouse of what they do best, 336 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 5: in which case you're putting them in a bad situation. 337 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 5: I think this is deeper than just the players. I 338 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 5: think the coaches have a lot of culpability. 339 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 2: And there's no question that the coaches have some involvement 340 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: in this one too. And but to me it may 341 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: be the answer is if you would like to go 342 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: ahead and see Bell play down and then Thomas played deep, 343 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 2: if you want to play some but you might be 344 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 2: in the same situation. I don't know about playing Bell deep. 345 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 2: I think Bell is a much better player near the 346 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. So if you want to continue, I mean, 347 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: once again, early in that football game, I saw Hooker 348 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 2: playing down and Wilson playing deep, and I'm going to 349 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 2: myself and I'm watching the tape, and I'm going I'm 350 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: expecting something bad to happen when that goes, you know, 351 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 2: I'm expecting the other team to find, Oh, look there's 352 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 2: number six playing in the middle of the field. Let's 353 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: try and throw a ball on him and see what happens. 354 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: It's that they are, they're personnel right now, the players 355 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: that they have not playing well enough. But you're absolutely right, Derek, 356 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 2: the coaches need to take some responsibility for this as well. 357 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 5: All right, we're gonna take our first break. We'll come back. 358 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 5: Let's dive into the offense, talk about what went right 359 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 5: and wrong for the Cowboys yesterday on offense.

All right's talking about the offense DAK Yesterday's 429 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 5: thirty one or forty seventy eight percent completion rate, two 430 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 5: hundred and fifty one yards, one touchdown, two interceptions, and 431 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 5: eighty point three rating. 432 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 4: How do you assess his play? 433 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 2: I think he could have been better, for sure, I 434 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: think he could have been better. I think there was 435 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: some times where and I understand that there was a blitzers, 436 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 2: there's some blitzers and he's kind of thrown to the side. 437 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 2: It's third and third in the mile, you know, and 438 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 2: you're thinking, Okay, maybe it's a couple options. I'd go here, 439 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: maybe try and take George Pickens down the field and 440 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: see if he could draw a pass. Interference would be 441 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 2: always a good option. And then also though you take 442 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 2: if they're going to play cover two on you, there 443 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 2: was a couple opportunities for some what I call hole 444 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: shots and the whole shot. The great example of the 445 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: hole shot was the one that that Turpin caught. If 446 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: you remember late in the game where he got whacked. 447 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: That is one of those covered two hole shots. And 448 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 2: they had a couple of those. They had some of 449 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: those in the game, and Dak checked the ball down. 450 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe there was a blitzer. Maybe he wasn't 451 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: really sure about, you know, letting that guy get into 452 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: that area. Maybe he wasn't totally comfortable and he could 453 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 2: have he could have punished the Bears on some of 454 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 2: their coverage. And I'm going to say this too, you know, 455 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: Vatch and I break down the opponent's defense on Thursday, 456 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: and we kind of talk about who we would attack against. 457 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 2: Against McLeod and Nashan Wright, they were ten of eleven 458 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 2: and a touchdown against that group. On the other side, 459 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: against Stevenson, they were three of ten. So you kind 460 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: of wonder yourself. You go into a game and you're thinking, like, Okay, 461 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 2: they're compromised at they're compromising the secondary. How am I 462 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 2: going to scheme my guys onto those players and keep 463 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 2: just attacking them, you know, And that's where I think 464 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 2: we get away from some things. I think Dak. I 465 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 2: think Dak could have thrown I think Dak could have 466 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 2: had a Russell Wilson like game the other day. You know, 467 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 2: I think he you know, there was some shots down 468 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 2: the field, there were some opportunities, but you know, he said, Okay, 469 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: I gotta just check it here, check it here, you know, 470 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 2: Toder Ferguson, I'm off for Ferguson catching balls. But Ferguson's 471 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 2: run after catch is not what it once was, just not. 472 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: So that's the thing that was a little bit just swarm. 473 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 2: Glad Dak did what he had to do, but man, 474 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: they missed some plays on that field. They could have 475 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: really maybe turned that game around. 476 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 3: Brian brought us. 477 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 7: Would you say that you're I don't want to say critical, 478 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 7: because that's like, you know, a big word there, But 479 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 7: like critique of that comes from the idea that the 480 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 7: defense isn't playing great at all, because because normally I 481 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 7: feel like I like that that side of deck. You know, 482 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 7: if the if the D ball is there, take it, 483 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 7: of course, but if it's a little weird, but you 484 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 7: can maybe hero ball a little bit, I don't mind 485 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 7: him taking the safer play, like, hey, like get six 486 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 7: yards and move the sticks and we'll just keep playing offense. 487 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 7: If anything I want from this Cowboys defense is just 488 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 7: to don't die so so quickly, buy us some time 489 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 7: for the offense to just kind of figure this thing out. 490 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 7: I go back to the Niners or whatever they got 491 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 7: Mac Jones playing playing. 492 00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 3: Quarterback over there. 493 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 7: But what that d will at least do is buy 494 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 7: you time at least until mac Jones and run game 495 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 7: and all those other guys can figure something out. 496 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 3: My whole, my whole thing about Dak. 497 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 7: You would want Dak to go out there and throw 498 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 7: for five touchdowns if he can. I don't want Dak 499 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 7: to be that guy, because when Dak turns into that guy, 500 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 7: he throw picks and he starts sweating, his eyes get 501 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 7: big and look at the screen. I don't want Dak 502 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 7: to be that guy. You know what I'm saying. I 503 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 7: want Dak to just keep the ball safe and let's 504 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 7: run the ball, you know. And look, this goes to shoddy. 505 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 7: I can be critical of YouTube this This is the 506 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 7: first game where I'm kind of super critical of you, 507 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 7: but have a feel for timeouts, how to use him win, 508 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 7: to run the game, clock management, all this kind of stuff. 509 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 7: I think that this goes along with like play calling 510 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 7: and being the head coach at the same time. 511 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 5: Right, Yo, let's let's hold I want to get to 512 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 5: that conversation about game management. 513 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 4: Sure, that's something that we certainly have to talk about, 514 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 4: but just that. 515 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 5: But but just from the standpoint of Dak and Brian, 516 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 5: I'll throw this like as a part of that question. 517 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 5: One of the things I thought happened was I know 518 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 5: he was taking those checkdowns a lot. 519 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 4: I mean, you could Jake Ferguson. 520 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 5: Jake Ferguson had Word team catch catches on fourteen targets 521 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 5: for eighty two yards, his average six point two yards 522 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 5: per reception. 523 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 4: That's not a lot. 524 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 5: Part of that, I think also is there was a 525 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 5: time in Jake Ferguson's career when the first guy didn't 526 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 5: necessarily take him down. 527 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 4: And again, Jake is making the catches. That's good. 528 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: Jake is one year. 529 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was one year. 530 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 4: Jake is getting the yards that are there. 531 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 3: Great. 532 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 5: My expectations for Jake are higher than that. My expectations 533 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 5: is that he is that guy that in that year 534 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 5: made guys miss. He was that guy that if a 535 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 5: guy hit him, he could give him a shoulder and 536 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 5: he got another three or four yards. That's not necessarily 537 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 5: what we sing what we're seeing. So is that also 538 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 5: part of the issue of if you're going to take 539 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 5: these checkdowns, you don't have guys that are necessarily beating 540 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 5: their guy, beating that one person that's out there to 541 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 5: make the tackle to get more than just the yards 542 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 5: that you get in the air. 543 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 4: Yards that you get. 544 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, the only thing that I mean, I have no 545 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: problem throwing the ball that I can say, throw the 546 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 2: ball Williams. So the ball to to Ferguson. I'm just saying, though, 547 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 2: when Dak sat on that plane last night flying home 548 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: with you guys, he looked at that pad and he's going, damn, 549 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 2: I can't believe I missed that. I didn't see that one. 550 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 2: There was one time too. And just and I sound 551 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 2: very critical of Dak, but and I hate to do 552 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 2: this to him, but he's your best hope. He's got 553 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 2: to play. He has got to be. He's a he's 554 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 2: got to be an m v P. And that's just 555 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 2: where this team is right now. 556 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 4: And by the way, he was the first two weeks, absolute. 557 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 2: Absolutely and and and you know he played well yesterday. 558 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. The inner last interception I put 559 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 2: that on flu on a shot. He run the damn 560 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 2: ball in, Just run it in. You know you're gonna 561 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: You're gonna be fine there. But he's going to look 562 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 2: at this and and and you're right, does he force 563 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 2: some things. But I think Dak's to that point where 564 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 2: if if he if he just if he when he 565 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 2: went back and watched that game. He's gonna see Turpin 566 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 2: in the hole. He's gonna see Pickens in the hole. 567 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 2: He's gonna see toll. You don't want to switch route 568 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 2: going up the field open. You know, it's like in 569 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 2: two right before half and this is this is where 570 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 2: shot he got me burning the early time out. You know, 571 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 2: just you burn an early time out. Either run the 572 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 2: either punt it or go for the first don't don't 573 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 2: try and draw people. Just do it. Don't have to 574 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 2: use a time out there to to And then now 575 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 2: you don't have a time out in half. This is 576 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 2: two weeks in a row where you haven't had a 577 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 2: time out at the end of the half. And you've 578 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 2: got a field goal kicker that can make it from 579 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: the middle of the sea in the field and see 580 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: those are the things. And you know, Dak he scrambles out. 581 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: If he throws the ball down the field right before half, 582 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 2: there's an opportunity to maybe get the ball down there 583 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: to midfield. But what does he have to do. He 584 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 2: has to throw the ball short and and you know 585 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 2: the clock runs out because he's thrown to a guy 586 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 2: that couldn't get out of bounce. Ferguson, I'm just saying 587 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 2: it sounds very, very critical of Dak. That's not my intent. 588 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 3: He is. 589 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 2: He is he has to play at a superhuman level 590 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 2: because of how poorly this defense is playing right now. 591 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 2: And then his best offensive weapon gets knocked out of 592 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: the game, you know, and that's you got. You got 593 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 2: a running back now that can average about seven yards 594 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 2: of carry. Might want to put in back there, you know, 595 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 2: instead there used to be a time where you had 596 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: to put Lamb and Turpin and others back there. You 597 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 2: don't have to do that anymore. You don't have to 598 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: do that anymore. 599 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 5: You guys have both brought it up now looking at 600 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 5: how the game was managed. Really for me, I think 601 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 5: I'm looking at that period that that position they got. 602 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 5: I think it was four fifteen left in the first half, 603 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 5: and Nick and I looked at each other and was like, Okay, 604 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 5: here you go. Here's your opportunity. This is why you 605 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 5: defer to the second half, is because here's your opportunity 606 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 5: to get points. They're down seventeen fourteen, so like, here's 607 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 5: your opportunity to get points. As we talked about last week, 608 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 5: you get to the middle of field, you got a 609 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 5: kick of that can boom it. So you just got 610 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 5: you gotta get just a few yards, get yourself into 611 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 5: at least a position to get some points out of it. 612 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 4: What ends up happening? 613 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 5: Cowboys have a drive that's three and out, give the 614 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 5: wall back here, Chicago, give up a touchdown, and now 615 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 5: you're down ten going into the half. And so it 616 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 5: just to me, how did you How much of that 617 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 5: do you put on their their inability to execute or 618 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 5: maybe the play calling even on that drive, or do 619 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 5: you put on the actual management of that that period. 620 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 7: It's a little bit of both, because if you miss 621 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 7: out like that's a that's what seventeen point swing gets you, 622 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 7: if you do it properly or whatnot. 623 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 2: And then they came back and ran nineteen plays on 624 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 2: you after your ex punt. 625 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 7: That's a it's a it's a it's a totally different drive. 626 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 7: It's a totally different game. 627 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 2: Seven first downs along the way, and they were running 628 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 2: the ball by the way. 629 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 7: And and and look, maybe you gotta maybe you gotta 630 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 7: talk to the PFF people. Maybe you kick early. You 631 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 7: know what I'm saying some crazy thing because I don't 632 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 7: even understand it, you know, but but maybe kick early. 633 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 7: Then give it to them with three minutes, try to 634 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 7: play some defense and maybe they're less aggressive because of that, 635 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 7: and then you get the ball and then you try 636 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 7: to score. But like the one thing I can give 637 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 7: Maya mccarth and I've been beating him down since I 638 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 7: got here, but they knew how to hit those passes 639 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 7: on the sideline, get out of bounds, and at least 640 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 7: give aure a shot every time that they've had an 641 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 7: opportunity for the middle of eight this year, in the 642 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 7: past three games, they haven't been good at it. They 643 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 7: haven't been good at it going into the half and 644 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 7: getting the ball back coming out of the half. And 645 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 7: I would assume that has to be on shotty knowing 646 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 7: how to navigate something, because look, there's even times in 647 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 7: a game to where you're trying to get them to 648 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 7: jump and you burn a timeout. Yeah, and that timeout 649 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 7: could be valuable to your kickoff operation or something later 650 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 7: on in the game. 651 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 2: Go ahead, bro, were they burned a time out trying 652 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 2: to get them to, like you said, to jump off 653 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 2: sides And you're thinking, like, just just don't do that. 654 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 2: Either go for it or punt it. There's no in between. 655 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 2: There's no in between for me. If if you're going 656 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 2: to burn. And what's happened the last two weeks, They've 657 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: missed opportunities to have a time out left like all 658 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 2: of a sudden, Yeah, you complete the ball down the 659 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 2: field and then you have a time out. Well, or 660 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 2: you don't get out of bounce. You use the time 661 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: out right there and then be able to take another shot. 662 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: So some game management stuff has been a little bit suspect. 663 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 2: Going into halves of these games and then coming out 664 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 2: of half has been a little bit of a problem 665 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 2: the last three weeks. You were great in Philadelphia the 666 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 2: first half of that football game. Second half not so 667 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 2: good the Giants.

Let's go for it. 741 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 5: All right, Let's talk about the defense. Caleb William yesterday. 742 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 2: Never beat the Packers real quick, Never beat. 743 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 8: The on offense. I know we talked about the difference 744 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 8: of how we of course know how different it looks 745 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 8: when CD is not on the field. 746 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 2: But what do you think and we've. 747 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 8: Been talking about this offense having so many different weapons 748 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 8: and this and that, what do you think you would 749 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 8: be able to manage it and figure it out at 750 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 8: least in I'm not saying you can deal with going 751 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 8: through the whole season without a CD. But in a 752 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 8: game like that against an opponent like that, what do 753 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 8: you think you have enough guys that can do things 754 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 8: and generate what you need to generate in order to 755 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 8: get into the end zone. 756 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 7: I could be wrong, and somebody can text me and 757 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 7: tell me if I'm wrong. If Pickens knew all of 758 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 7: the Lamb plays, then I think you would have a 759 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 7: better chance of like getting back Because Pickens is a 760 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 7: he's a great receiver or whatever. I don't think he 761 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 7: knows all the Lamb stuff. I think Pickens run slants, 762 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 7: he runs out, he runs deep. I think that's kind 763 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 7: of what he does. But if but they're talent wise 764 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 7: that they're up there, I just think Lamb does more 765 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 7: because I don't know whatever. 766 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 2: Man, you're onto something, but yeah, you're onto something. 767 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 3: It seemed like Turpin was doing the Lamb stuff. 768 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 2: Yeah you're on something because if you watch I was 769 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 2: watching Pickens as that game was going on, and I 770 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 2: couldn't reckanize his routes. I couldn't recognize I couldn't distinguish. 771 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 2: You know, you're right about the outs and the slants 772 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 2: and stuff, but everything else, I couldn't distinguish what routes 773 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 2: he was running. And I wonder if all of a sudden, 774 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 2: you know, him having to do more, you know, affected 775 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 2: the way that he played. But I'll give credit. Turpin 776 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 2: battled his ass off. He really did for you know, 777 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 2: lam being down. He really went out there and played hard. 778 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,479 Speaker 2: I think I think Tolbert, I mean, people are gonna 779 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 2: blame Tobert for not finishing his block and allowing Stevenson 780 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 2: to get behind and steal the ball away, you know, 781 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 2: I mean they got the ball to the edge. That's 782 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 2: just a great hustle play by Stevenson. But you could 783 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 2: tell that that Turpin was he was engaged and he 784 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 2: was trying to make something happen. And to the point 785 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 2: of Tolbert, there's sometimes where Tolbert just kind of fades 786 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 2: into the bushes during a game. I think there was 787 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 2: times where he was running routes and Dak just didn't 788 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 2: see him. Dak didn't throw him the ball, but man, 789 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 2: they needed they needed pickets. And I was really excited 790 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 2: coming into this game that they kind of maybe unlock 791 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 2: something from Pickens there, but he struggled, especially the interception 792 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 2: that was that was on him all the way Dak 793 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 2: scrambles out makes the throw off the hands Stevenson once 794 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,839 Speaker 2: again right there. Got to have that ball. You got 795 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 2: to have that ball. But there was there was some 796 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 2: routes where I just wasn't really really sure what George 797 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 2: Pickens was trying to do to execute to get open. 798 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 5: All right, let's talk about the defense. Caleb Williams yesterday 799 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 5: was nineteen of twenty eight, sixty eight percent completion, two 800 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 5: hundred ninety eight yards, zero sacks, four touchdowns. 801 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 2: First time he's ever not been sacked by. 802 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 5: The one hundred and forty two point six rating. It 803 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 5: was a career day for him yesterday. The interesting thing 804 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 5: about this defense, though, is that they did play more man. 805 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 5: In the past two weeks they played primarily, i mean 806 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 5: almost exclusively zoned. Yesterday played fourteen percent man eighty six 807 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 5: percent zone. 808 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 4: It wasn't really a better result. 809 00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, quite a few times when 810 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 5: they were in man coverage, they had guys that were 811 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 5: giving up large cushions, and then the plays were set 812 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 5: up to where they were basically having to carry a 813 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 5: guy across the field. So if you can imagine that, 814 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 5: so you got a ten yard cushion, this guy's going 815 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 5: across the field. Trying to close that distance is almost impossible. 816 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 5: So you're gonna basically give up a catch of six 817 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 5: seven eight yards at the very least, maybe more so. 818 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 5: All that being said, when you look at it from 819 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 5: the standpoint of what they did schematically, do you think 820 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 5: that this is more of what they should be doing, 821 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 5: playing more of that man or do you think there 822 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 5: are deeper problems than even just that. 823 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 7: I would rather them play more man, But the cushion 824 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 7: doesn't make sense to me, Like if you're gonna play man, like, 825 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 7: don't give them ten yards. 826 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 2: Like list actually seven point one. 827 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 7: That was the appreciation. Appreciation Like if it's third and 828 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 7: twenty or something like that. Yeah, you know, you can 829 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 7: back off a little bit, but not that much, like 830 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 7: walk up and actually play these guys. And I'm hoping 831 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 7: Flues isn't worried about giving up the big play because 832 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 7: you give up the big playing zone as well, so 833 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 7: you might as well do something. The whole idea of 834 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 7: zone is to keep things kind of in front of you. 835 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 7: You can kind of see a little bit. If they 836 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 7: getting behind you in zone anyway, just go ahead and 837 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 7: rust some rustle man out there. It can't be that bad. 838 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 2: Flu Yeah, the biggest problem is lack of pastor. 839 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 8: You make it sound like so easy. 840 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 7: It's not as easy as I'm making it sound. But 841 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 7: it shouldn't be as difficult as Flues is making it. 842 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 7: It shouldn't be that difficult. And I'll and I'll say that. 843 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 2: And Jodd even said they might have to like kind 844 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 2: of scale some things back, and I was kind of like, 845 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 2: what it looks pretty scale now, maybe he's asking him 846 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 2: to do things like we're talking about, like Derek was 847 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 2: with DJ Moore. I looked to me like half zone, 848 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 2: half man. I I don't know. I mean, who's wrong? 849 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,800 Speaker 2: Was the left side wrong or the right side wrong? 850 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 2: Because they were somebody's wrong, you know, and the way 851 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 2: they were playing it, And Hooker turns and looks inside 852 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 2: like wait a minute, what are we? What are we 853 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 2: doing here? Boys? 854 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 5: But it seems like the simplest kind of coverage you 855 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 5: could run is man because you know, hey, that's my guy. 856 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,959 Speaker 5: They with him right when you when you start playing 857 00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 5: zone and certain when you start playing more exotic kind 858 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 5: of zones, especially if your guys aren't familiar with that. 859 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 5: The NFL boves fast. I think that's one thing that 860 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 5: people don't really think about. If you're not a zone defender, 861 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 5: you're not used to playing zone, and you're being asked 862 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 5: to do that. Now you're having to adjust on the 863 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 5: fly as things happen. So what they did a lot 864 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 5: yesterday the Bears offensively, they basically flood a zone. And 865 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 5: what I mean by that is basically they take if 866 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 5: you're playing zone, they'll basically say, okay, well, on this 867 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 5: side of field, we may not have a single receiver 868 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 5: route in coverage. I mean in a route on that 869 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 5: side of the field. You got three guys over there 870 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 5: covering those zones. Now we're going to take the other 871 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 5: side of field, where you may have the same three 872 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 5: or different three, but it's three people, and we'll put 873 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 5: four four receivers into routes and we'll just flood that 874 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 5: area so you can't cover everybody. If you're not a 875 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 5: depth at being able to play zone, then that makes 876 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 5: it even worse because you're like, oh my god, this 877 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 5: guy coming from both ways, which way do I go? 878 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 5: And then you know somebody's past year and here we go, right. 879 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 5: I think that's part of the thing here is that 880 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,280 Speaker 5: I don't know if these players are really a depth 881 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 5: at recognizing what's coming at them and being able to 882 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 5: adapt to that and play zone in a way to 883 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 5: where they really can't stop the opponent. 884 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 2: It's tough. I mean, yeah, yeah, you're not wrong. Can 885 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 2: I say the pass rust though, too? Can I throw 886 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 2: the pass rush in there with you know, with you know, 887 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 2: and or lack of you know? I mean, it's just 888 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 2: it's so evident that just these quarterbacks are feeling super 889 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 2: comfortable and Derek to your point, you know, flooding and 890 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 2: you're making they're making these these coaches or these coordinators 891 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 2: are making it really easy for their quarterbacks, especially with 892 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 2: no pressure. Then all of a sudden, you know, you've 893 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 2: got guys, and it's like that in that game. You know, 894 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams was looking at his receiver when he was 895 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 2: throwing the ball every time he just kind of knew that, Okay, 896 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 2: this is the way the plays called. And and Derek's right, Hey, 897 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 2: we're gonna flood it, and we're gonna guys gonna be 898 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 2: right there, you know, just beyond the sticks. I'm gonna 899 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 2: throw it to him, it's gonna be a first down, 900 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 2: and in a way we go. But they are just 901 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 2: not even when trying to bring extra rushers, just not 902 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 2: even getting close when you when you know, listen, let 903 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 2: me when DeAndre Swift in the first two games Minnesota 904 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 2: de Troit, he's having trouble picking up guys, but here 905 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 2: you are blitzing it and you're making him look like 906 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 2: he's the best running back pass protector in the league. 907 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 2: These are these are things that you're just playing into this. 908 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 2: You're like, it's like the weakness of you know, you're 909 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 2: attacking a weakness, but they're coming away just making it 910 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 2: work because you're not good enough to take advantage of 911 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 2: that situation. So that's the thing to me that's disheartening. 912 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 2: But there to your point, you're absolutely right. I mean, 913 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,839 Speaker 2: to me, they can talk about communication. Execution has been 914 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,399 Speaker 2: a real problem and I and I don't know if 915 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 2: these guys we talk about practicing out here, do you 916 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,879 Speaker 2: practice enough? You know, I had one time a guy 917 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 2: and this is during the Mike McCarthy year, a guy 918 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 2: got called me up on you know phone and goes, hey, 919 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 2: you guys practice down there? Kind of looks like your 920 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 2: team doesn't practice. Wow, you know, and this but this 921 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 2: was last year, you know, and so I just you 922 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 2: wonder with some of the busts that happened or some 923 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 2: of the miscommunications, you have to wonder did you practice? 924 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 5: You know, well quick before you got I'm gonna let 925 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 5: you get to that point, Brian, as you were talking, 926 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 5: I saw this tweet that our guy Tommy Yarsh put 927 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 5: out about thirty seven. 928 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,839 Speaker 4: Minutes ago, he said. 929 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 5: Going into Sunday's Week three game, Bears left tackle Braxton 930 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 5: Jones allowed twelve pressures on seventy nine pass blocking snaps 931 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,240 Speaker 5: in Chicago's first two games, which led the team. Against 932 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 5: the Cowboys, Jones became just the fourth player in NFL 933 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 5: in the NFL this season to not allow a singer 934 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 5: single quarterback pressure. 935 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 2: There you go, he had two sacks, and I get it. 936 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 2: Against the Lions, you're going against Aiden Hutchins and those guys. Man, 937 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 2: it's tough. That's tough. But you there are these two tackles. Man. Listen, 938 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 2: we were talking about them on talking about them on Wednesday. 939 00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 2: You know, Hey, this is how you got to kind 940 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 2: of it's it's sometimes it just it's numbing when you 941 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 2: watch a game and you're going, why not, why not? 942 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 2: And then you watch and then you see the stats 943 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,320 Speaker 2: at the end of the game and it's a loss, 944 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 2: and you go, oh wow, really they completed ten of 945 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 2: eleven balls against na Shon right and against the nickel corner. 946 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 2: But the other they attacked the other guy ten times 947 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 2: and he stopped. You know, he only give up three. 948 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 2: How about those other times? Just stay away and then 949 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 2: go over. We all know who Nashon right now, we 950 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 2: all know, we all know who he is. Nashon Wright 951 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 2: should have been begging to come off that field yesterday, 952 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 2: you know, you know the whole thing. McCloud should have 953 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 2: been begging to come off that field yesterday. I hate 954 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 2: when that happens. I hate when they don't take advantage 955 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 2: of a tackle or put pressure on that tackle, that 956 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 2: offensive tackle. And let me be honest, we kind of 957 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 2: said this felt like that the Bears offensive line was 958 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 2: somewhat better than what the Giants offensive line and so 959 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 2: that game that should have been the big red flag 960 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 2: right there. If you're not getting pressure on the Giants, 961 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 2: you're gonna get pressure on the Bears. That's what we 962 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:08,879 Speaker 2: should have known better. 963 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 8: Real quick help me with my memory going back to 964 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 8: when Mike Nolan was here and they were having all 965 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 8: those defensive issues and talking about, oh, well, now they 966 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 8: needed to start kind of quote unquote dumbing it down 967 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 8: just to improve the communication, and all of that. Remind 968 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 8: me in that season, did it start getting better once 969 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,399 Speaker 8: they started simplifying things that it carried over the whole 970 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 8: year like it never improved a little bit at the end. 971 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 8: I don't remember. 972 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 2: I'll say this, this this defense. You're talking about the 973 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 2: Nolan defense being historically bad. I thought the Rob Ryan 974 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 2: defense was worse, you know, And I think the Rob 975 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 2: Ryan defense has got some elements to what this one has. 976 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 2: Where guys don't look like they're in place, they're not coordinated, 977 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,319 Speaker 2: they're not coordinated, and Rob's trying to do something the 978 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 2: defense is like whoa wait a minute, what And then 979 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 2: Rob would throw ten guys in the field to try 980 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 2: and cover, you know, try and play defense, and occasionally 981 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 2: forget to put the eleventh guy on there. 982 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 18: But this that was strategy, this this early, this early 983 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 18: defense has some of that Rob Ryan elements to it, 984 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 18: where guys are running really really wide open. 985 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't recall that season getting you better. 986 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 5: I just remember thinking the whole year like how did 987 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 5: Mike Nolan get so bad at this? Because there was 988 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 5: a time Mike Nolan his defenses worked really good in. 989 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 4: The NFL, and it's like, how did how did he take. 990 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 5: And by the way, whatever is happening with with Eberfulus's defense, 991 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 5: That was a time when Eba flu was a really 992 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 5: good defensive coordinator. It was a really good defensive coordinator. 993 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 5: And and I don't know what's happened. I don't know 994 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 5: if it's a meshing of maybe the concepts are just 995 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 5: not working, maybe the players are not capable of doing it. 996 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 5: But but there's something going on with this defense that's 997 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 5: that's deeper than just misplay here, miss misplay there. 998 00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 4: There's something deeper here. 999 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 5: I think because it is a consistent thing week after week, 1000 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 5: play after play that they're just not in the right spot. 1001 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 8: Well and like all positions pretty much all over the defense. 1002 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 2: Schottenheimer for the offense this week stuck in the mirror too. 1003 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,319 Speaker 2: They get it. Shottenheimer needs to look in the mirror too, 1004 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,879 Speaker 2: that that offense should have done better against that def fair. 1005 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 5: That's absolutely fair. And by the way, we know if 1006 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 5: they're gonna win this year, it's offense gonna. 1007 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 4: Have to play. 1008 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, it's gonna be put on Dak's shoulders. I'm not 1009 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 2: I'm just saying he's one of your best players, and 1010 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with how much money you paying, 1011 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 2: but he is one of your best players, and he's 1012 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 2: gonna have to play the next fourteen weeks like your 1013 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 2: absolute best player. Yeah. 1014 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 5: I thought that was a good comparison when you when 1015 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 5: you mentioned the the Cincinnati Bengals from last year, because 1016 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 5: Burrow had by all accounts, in my opinion, an MVP 1017 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 5: caliber season last year nine and that was just basically 1018 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 5: because they had no defense. That was the basically that 1019 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 5: was the best that they were going to be able 1020 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 5: to do. And if he didn't have a great game, 1021 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 5: they didn't have it. They did work a shot. And 1022 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 5: I don't know if it's that just yet for the Cowboys, 1023 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 5: but it certainly is trending that way that if Jack 1024 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 5: Fat doesn't have a great year or great game, then 1025 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 5: they just won't win. I appreciate you, guys, jump let 1026 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 5: me be back tomorrow. We'll take a little deeper look 1027 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 5: at some of the topics, some bigger topics around this team. 1028 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 5: I want to talk a little bit tomorrow about Yeah, 1029 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 5: we'll get some questions. I actually want to talk a 1030 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,319 Speaker 5: little bit about Cede Lamb and how he got hurt 1031 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 5: yesterday and whether that's a good idea when you have 1032 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 5: a player as important to your offense as CD Lamb. 1033 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:26,919 Speaker 4: But we'll talk about that tomorrow until the TSAR Brian 1034 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 4: Bronis ambergresty.
