Speaker 7: I've never heard of someone.

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 4: Christmas Eve? We are we are We get to talk

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 4: about a Cowboys win. That was That was a.

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: Look anti climactic.

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 6: Well it was a little anti climactic because I was

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 6: I was maybe the only person that was still like

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 6: Cowboys are still in it and the game I thought

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 6: would be, Oh, of course they're going to win. That

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 6: game ends up just falling apart. The Eagles had the

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 6: game against Washington and they just found a way they

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 6: refused to win, and uh so they gave up that game.

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 6: So by the time the Cowboys started their game, they

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 6: had already been eliminated. But we get to talk about

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 6: a win Cowboys player, I think pretty well, uh in

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 6: the twenty six to twenty fourth victory over the Tampa

35
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 6: Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. So start first going

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 6: around the table, I want to hear from you guys,

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 6: what you think was the story of the game.

38
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 4: Nick, Let's start with you.

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's still a lot to fight for.

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 8: If you're looking at this team, there are twenty six

41
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 8: guys on this on this roster that are heading into

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 8: free agency whenever the season ends. And you look around

43
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 8: at some of the big contributors yesterday and you'll see

44
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 8: a lot of those twenty six names that popped up.

45
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 8: You could look at Jordan Lewis having the interception and

46
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 8: a season where he's had probably the best year of

47
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 8: his career. I think he had his best game of

48
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 8: the season last night, and he had that interception on

49
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 8: Jayla McMillan and the end zone that was just incredible,

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 8: rip the ball away from him. You can look at

51
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 8: a Rico Daubto over the course of season has been great.

52
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 8: Obviously last night was not. And then Cooper Rush the

53
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 8: night that he had, specifically the first half that he

54
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 8: had in being able to establish momentum for that offense.

55
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 8: If you had told me coming into this game that

56
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 8: the Cowboys would win with only thirty one rushing yards,

57
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 8: I would have said you were crazy. So you got

58
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 8: to give credits to Cooper Rush in that sense. But

59
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 8: this team fights man and Ceedee Lamb, you know, going

60
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 8: through this ac joint injury that he's been battling for

61
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 8: the last eight weeks. We asked him in the locker

62
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 8: room after like why why do you keep playing? He's like,

63
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 8: I'm fighting for my brothers. I love this game that

64
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 8: much I want to be out there with them. So

65
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 8: you know, that is not the sign of a culture

66
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 8: or a deeper conversation, not a sign of a coaching

67
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 8: staff that is going to let this team lay over

68
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 8: over the course of these next two weeks. Still a

69
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 8: lot to play for with a lot of these guys

70
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 8: with so much uncertainty ahead in the offseason, and they

71
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 8: certainly showed that last night.

72
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, I wanted to start off. I think a lot

73
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 9: of this game was about Cooper Rush. Yeah, because I

74
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 9: honestly I was not too the thoughts about him having

75
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 9: to deal with linebacker pressure, him dealing with secondary pressure,

76
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 9: him dealing with potential pressure right in his face. Hacked

77
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 9: the touchdown pass. You know, he had to tot her.

78
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 9: I mean he right in his face. You know, he

79
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 9: he had you know, he was defensive lineman right there

80
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 9: in his face. B tove right in his face. And

81
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 9: you know, I think that he managed this thing really

82
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 9: really well. I was worried about him being a statue

83
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 9: back there, and but you know, when he had to

84
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 9: make the pressure throws, he was able to do it.

85
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: I was glad to see him throw the ball down

86
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: the field.

87
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 9: You know, we were breaking down the Buccaneers. We were

88
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 9: talking about where this ball needs to go. That these

89
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 9: guys give you a little cush and they play a

90
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 9: lot of single high and they're going to give you

91
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 9: some opportunities.

92
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: And they did that.

93
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 9: Dallas did a great job with some of the route

94
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 9: combinations to get the ball into the middle. Of the

95
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 9: field to make some easy throws for Cooper Rush. But overall,

96
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 9: you know, I mean the second half their offense was nothing,

97
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 9: but he didn't do anything to mess that game up,

98
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 9: you know, And I think that's exactly you needed.

99
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: And be steady he was. He was. We're at pinpoint

100
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: with where he needed to be with the ball.

101
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 9: He had some really good reads and you know, I

102
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 9: want to say this, I think he outplayed Baker Mayfield

103
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 9: last night. And it's not very often that you could

104
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 9: say that your backup quarterback is going to outplay a guy,

105
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 9: a quarterback who is, you know, one of the more

106
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 9: accurate quarterbacks in the league and his team is fighting

107
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 9: for a division championship. So a tip of the captain

108
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 9: Cooper Rush on that one.

109
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, and some of his movements, I'm like, oh, okay,

110
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 7: come on, go for Rush. I'm like, I knew I

111
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 7: liked you at some point. No, but great job by him.

112
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 7: Also a great job by Ceedee Lamb. Once again, I

113
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 7: think he's made up for him missing training camp and

114
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 7: that whole conversation when he was out holding out looking

115
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 7: for that contract. The fact that he's playing the way

116
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 7: that he is despite the injury that he's been suffering

117
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 7: with along the whole season. Has been very, very impressive

118
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 7: and kudous to him. But even though this is not

119
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 7: the storyline, necessarily the biggest storyline of the game, I

120
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 7: am wearing the T shirt over here. So I wanted

121
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 7: to give mister Brandon you can't even say how mister

122
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 7: Brandon Aubrey a huge, huge shout out, because man, again,

123
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 7: I feel like we apologize about something every week. This week,

124
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 7: I'll bring it back again that apology from us wondering

125
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 7: what's gonna happen with the kicker position when we were

126
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 7: about to get hit in the face with balls at

127
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 7: training camp and it was a whole mess. And while

128
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 7: he keeps impressing everybody, breaking wreckers, I think he has

129
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 7: what fourteen field goals fifty plus yard field goals of

130
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 7: the NFL record in a season and there's still two

131
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 7: games left and he's just he was great last night.

132
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 7: He was perfect, he was amazing, and just wanted to

133
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 7: give him a shout out.

134
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: I will say he has the playoff for me.

135
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: There you go, there you go.

136
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 8: I will say he is in like a Barry Bonds

137
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 8: Mark McGuire race with Kyami Fairburn because Kyamie Fairburn has

138
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 8: Thirteen's like it's going to be like back and back

139
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 8: and for the way, like they're just going to keep

140
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 8: breaking each other's record until one of them finally just

141
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 8: etches it.

142
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

143
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 6: I think one of the big keys will be what

144
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 6: we saw last night, that team still fought even though

145
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 6: obviously they were eliminated before the game. My question will be,

146
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 6: and what I'll be looking at is how do we

147
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 6: see that same fight these next two weeks, because now

148
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 6: that you know you're eliminated, what does the preparation look like,

149
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 6: because that's where sometimes he can get in people's heads.

150
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: Once on Christmas it's over, Yeah, and it's just like

151
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: I don't have to watch this much film. Yeah, I

152
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 4: don't necessarily I forget this.

153
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 3: Where're starting to make to get out of the town.

154
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: It changed a little bit.

155
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 6: And again, everything we've seen from them up until this point,

156
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 6: they don't give up, like they keep fighting.

157
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: This coach has kept them engaged. Uh, this will be.

158
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 6: I think the hardest part for the coach to keep

159
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 6: them engaged during these next two weeks because it's just

160
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 6: natural everybody in the country, it's natural you kind of

161
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 6: let down a little bit. When you get to this

162
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 6: part of the year because it's it's the holidays, and

163
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 6: especially if there are no games that really are going

164
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 6: to matter for the postseason. Obviously I wonder how that works.

165
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 6: But everything I've seen so far, I give a lot

166
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 6: of credit to coach McCarthy and this coaching staff because

167
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 6: despite everything that's happened in season, and how much they

168
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 6: could have just let everything go in the tank, they

169
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 6: did not.

170
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 4: They kept playing hard.

171
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 7: It's an interesting point you make there because even though

172
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 7: they found out they were already eliminated before playing the game,

173
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 7: the preparation of the race was there, it was done.

174
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 7: They took care of it. They were heading into that

175
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 7: game as if they were still in the run or

176
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 7: there was still a chance. So you saw the reflection

177
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 7: of that. Now it's gonna be interesting watching what happens

178
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 7: is in this next two weeks. But like you said,

179
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 7: everything we've seen so far is that they're not giving

180
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 7: up and they're gonna keep going out there and again,

181
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 7: when you loose, when it comes down to the game,

182
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 7: they're gonna show up and play hard because physically that's

183
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 7: how you get through the game and you it avoids

184
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 7: you from potential injuries that could occur, but it'll be

185
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 7: interesting to see you. As far as preparation throughout the weeks.

186
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think they're playing hard for each other. You know,

187
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 9: McCarthy and the coaches. You can absolutely tip your cap

188
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 9: to him. Nobody on short weeks gets his team ready

189
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 9: more than this guy. I'll give him credit for that.

190
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 9: Nick mentioned it in his open statement though, twenty seven guys,

191
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 9: twenty seven guys, you're trying to put good film out there.

192
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 9: Guys like Jordan Lewis, Guys like OsO Diggi Zua, guys

193
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 9: like Chauncey Golston. You know, they've got some guys that

194
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 9: really aren't established as well. You know, you look at

195
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 9: brock Hoffman making nine hundred and twenty seven dollars, not

196
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 9: established as a as a right guard, not established really

197
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 9: as a player, really first time opportunity playing.

198
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 3: At a very high level.

199
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 9: If you look at the value over how that kind

200
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 9: of translates, he's like a sixteen million dollar player playing

201
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 9: guard for you right now. So they're getting a lot

202
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 9: of guys that are stepping up way beyond what their

203
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 9: pay is, and I think that's impressive. I think that

204
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 9: they're like I say, if this was a team like

205
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 9: say the New York Jets or another team that's a

206
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 9: veteran team, this thing amount have gone south a lot faster.

207
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 9: You know, we're seeing some teams that are just older

208
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 9: veteran teams that are like they don't see they see.

209
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: The light at the end of the tunnel.

210
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 9: Its the oncoming train, you know, and they're trying to

211
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 9: get out of the season. Nobody's trying to get hurt.

212
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 9: But there's you know, the coaches are coaching for their jobs,

213
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 9: the players are playing for new contracts.

214
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: You know.

215
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 9: It's it's it's a recipe for to continue to try

216
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 9: and do things the right way instead of throwing in

217
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 9: the towel and letting the think.

218
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: Fall completely heart.

219
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 9: If I give credit to one more player that I

220
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 9: don't think we mentioned, Nick Vigil played his ass off

221
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 9: last night for you. And Nick's usually the guy who

222
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 9: never practices because he's got Nick tells you he's got

223
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 9: a foot injury. Every week he tells you he's not

224
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 9: going to practice foot injury. He's out playing. Last night,

225
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 9: his ten tackles you were worried about. You were worried about,

226
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 9: where were the tackles going to come from, and especially

227
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 9: against a team that physically runs the football. You know,

228
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 9: Kendrick's last minute scratch. Basically, Nick Vigil having a step

229
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 9: in probably didn't get a whole hell of a lot

230
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 9: of work.

231
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: Great job by.

232
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 9: Him doing what he needed to do to get that

233
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 9: done for the defense last night.

234
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,640

237

240
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 10: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

241
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 10: Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he

242
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 10: bought online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to

243
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 10: be faster than this cheetah can run eighty miles per

244
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 10: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

245
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 10: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

246
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 10: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

247
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,960

Speaker 6: are they?

308
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,240

310

Speaker 3: ways of playing defense.

311
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 6: I mean, I know they lost some guys so that

312
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,280

313
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,240

Speaker 2: In the game of ni in the game.

Speaker 6: Okay, anyway, anyway, the man I would have been on

317
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 6: this show today, like there's a chance, there's a chance.

318
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 9: They're breathing Cincinnati game and you can there's so many

319
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 9: games you wish There's so many games you wish had back.

320
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 9: He wish he could be playing New Orleans this week. Yeah,

321
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 9: I mean just playing Atlanta this week. I mean, I

322
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 9: know Atlanta, I mean, how about Atlanta?

323
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: Quick? How about Michael Pennick? Though? How about that? Your

324
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: your division is on the line, and you've now gone

325
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 3: to the rookie quarterback.

326
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, to go win the same Michael Pennick though one

327
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 9: at Indiana, won at Washington.

328
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 3: He's been a winner.

329
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 4: He played his butt off. Yes, yeah, that was a

330
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 4: good game for him.

331
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: Good game to play against the Giants though.

332
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 4: No doubt to get you started.

333
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, but it got you.

334
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 9: It got you momentum you needed to maybe close this

335
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 9: thing out and win the South.

336
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt. All right, let's let's talk about Cooper Rush.

337
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 6: Yesterday, he was twenty six thirty five seventy four percent

338
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 6: completion rate, two hundred and ninety two yards in the air,

339
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 6: one touchdown, zero interceptions, a one oh eight point three

340
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 6: passer rating. Here's what I what I also noticed as

341
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 6: I was looking at some of the advanced stats on

342
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 6: the game, he actually only faced pressure on seventy five percent.

343
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: Of his dropbacks.

344
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 7: Uh.

345
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 6: And on those drop backs he was twenty three of

346
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 6: twenty seven for twohundred and sixty eight yards. On the

347
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 6: ones where he faced pressure twenty five percent of them,

348
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 6: he was only three of eight for twenty four.

349
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 4: Yards with an eighty five passer rating.

350
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 6: Do you think a lot of what we saw yesterday

351
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 6: from Cooper Rush, which I think may have been his

352
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 6: best game this year as a starter, do you think

353
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 6: a lot of that was about the fact that they could,

354
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 6: in a stat or the Buccaneers could not consistently get

355
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 6: pressure on him, and when he's not pressured, he can

356
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 6: tear you apart.

357
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's fair. I think it's also a

358
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 8: combination of him just being more comfortable. As a season

359
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 8: goes on, we're starting to see what reps could do

360
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 8: for him. Because even on the Jalen Tolbert touchdown, specifically

361
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 8: third down play, Vidavea absolutely blows up Brockaffman. Bro Kaffman

362
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 8: had a tough day yesterday, but Vidavea blows up brock

363
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 8: Kaffman and get and Cooper Rush knows he's going to

364
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 8: take a hit, he stands in and puts a perfect

365
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 8: ball over the middle of the Jaalen Tolber, who hauls

366
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 8: it in for the touchdown.

367
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: I think it's just that type of comfortability.

368
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 8: I don't think we saw in the first two or

369
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 8: three games that that he had whenever he came in

370
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 8: a start of this year. He had said last week

371
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 8: after the Carolina game that he feels like he's playing

372
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 8: the best football of his career right now.

373
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: And I understand why.

374
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 8: He sees that, why he believes that he's starting to

375
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 8: stack really good reps and it's starting to pay dividends

376
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 8: for this offense. I think also some credit has to

377
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 8: be given to the play caller as well. Coming out

378
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 8: and just establishing confidence for Cooper Rush in this game,

379
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 8: I think was really important. You understood that you had

380
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 8: you were most likely going to have a running game

381
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 8: that cannot get going against a really good defensive front,

382
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 8: against a really good second level in Tampa Bay. It's like, Okay,

383
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 8: I need Cooper Rush to help me win this game.

384
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 8: Let me build confidence for him. Let me take the

385
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 8: ball on the coin toss let's let's receive, let's build

386
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 8: confidence for Cooper. They come out on that first possession,

387
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 8: they run a bunch formations the whole time, quick past

388
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 8: the entire time, six for six, twenty one yards on

389
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 8: that opening drive, and just quick, quick, quick, quick action.

390
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 8: Get his brain moving quick, get those completions out in front.

391
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 8: Even if it did end in only three points, it

392
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 8: ended in points and an established confidence for this offense.

393
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 8: I think it did wonders for this offense as the

394
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 8: game went on. And when Cooper Rush is confident, I

395
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 8: think he plays it his best.

396
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 3: He's a Heisman Trophy killer, isn't he.

397
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: Yeah look for that, Yeah, four of them.

398
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: He's taking down these Heisman Trophy winners. So I love that.

399
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.

400
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 9: Both these quarterbacks played really well against man coverage, though,

401
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 9: and you watch the game and stuff like that. I

402
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 9: mean it was like a Baker Mayfield was just looking

403
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 9: at his numbers. He was eleven of twelve for a

404
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 9: buck thirty nine and Cooper was five or six for

405
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 9: sixty three. You know, against man coverage, and you know

406
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 9: both guys. Cooper was a little bit better against the

407
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 9: zone coverage stuff that sin say that Tampa bay was

408
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 9: thrown at him.

409
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 3: I'll say this if you want to.

410
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 9: You know, I was critical of Tolbert the route he

411
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 9: ran on the touchdown. I mean, give Cooper Rush a

412
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 9: lot of credit because you're going to watch the tape

413
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 9: and you're going to see Cooper Rush drop back and

414
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 9: he holds the ball. They're going to try and run

415
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 9: that thing across. They're going to try and run Tolbert

416
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 9: inside along the goal line and see if they can

417
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 9: hit him in the.

418
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: Middle of the field.

419
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 9: But what happens is David the linebacker, cuts him off,

420
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 9: and so now he has to adjust the route to

421
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 9: go north. And so Cooper Rush realized what was about

422
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 9: to happen, and he just allowed Tolbert to clear and

423
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 9: then got him the football. David fell down in the route,

424
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 9: So that was a really good read by Tober to

425
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 9: get north, and then Cooper rushed to standing there knowing

426
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 9: that a three hundred and fifty pounds man was about

427
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 9: the delivereral blow on him. So good for good for

428
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 9: both those guys getting it done.

429
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 7: You know, I'm having a hard time trying to not

430
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 7: allow myself mentally to get fooled by what's happening at

431
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 7: the end of the season, keeping in mind the opponents

432
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 7: that they faced this a few weeks, Yes, and they've

433
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 7: been competitive. And what you've seen on the offense, you

434
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 7: have to give credit to Mike McCarthy and the way

435
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 7: he has adjusted the play calling and helping position his

436
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 7: players in a better position with the calls. And also,

437
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 7: like Nick mentioned, I mean Cooper Rushia. Obviously you expect

438
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 7: anybody to come in and get better as the weeks

439
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 7: go by, so you can see him be more comfortable

440
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 7: and more confident. But when I said me not getting

441
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 7: fooled by what's happening at the end of the season,

442
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 7: it's like I've been very set on why I mean,

443
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy back as the head coach, but not as

444
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 7: the play caller. And even though I like what he

445
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 7: has done this past couple of weeks, I'm trying to, Hey,

446
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 7: remember what what happened throughout.

447
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 2: The Remember the whole season.

448
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 7: It's and the knives that went through my heart every loss.

449
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 7: So it's going to be interesting what's going to happen,

450
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 7: you know, with his contract and what the Cowboys decided

451
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 7: to do with.

452
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: Him extending Yeah, going to extending, Yeah, run this thing.

453
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 2: Back you're extending Mike Zimmer as well.

454
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're they're the package.

455
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the package.

456
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 9: It's like I think the people, I think, the people

457
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 9: that want Mike McCarthy back to appreciate Mike McCarthy, are

458
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 9: probably going to get their wish. Never seen the general

459
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 9: manager more giddy about a seven and eight team than

460
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 9: he is right now. He is him and Mike McCarthy,

461
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 9: and you know what, the folks like me that that

462
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 9: want to move on from him, you know what, we're

463
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 9: probably not going to get our wish here, and this

464
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 9: is you know that ed happens. But this general manager,

465
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 9: obviously him Stephen Jones, feel very comfortable. Will McClay feel

466
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 9: very comfortable with him. They're excited about the way the

467
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 9: team is playing. I think he has a hand of it.

468
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 9: I also think, as I mentioned, the players have a

469
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 9: hand in it, trying to get good tape out there

470
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 9: in case they move on. So never seen the general

471
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 9: manager this happy about a coach, and so to me

472
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 9: go ahead and extend and make everybody happy, get on

473
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 9: the phone called don Yee right now and get this

474
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 9: thing done.

475
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 8: I think part of the conversation that has to be

476
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 8: had specifically on the offensive side of the ball as

477
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 8: it pertains to McCarthy as a play caller, as the

478
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 8: head coach all of those things. Is you have Dak

479
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 8: Prescott for four more years, and looking at his age,

480
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 8: you would have to assume that it might only be

481
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 8: four more years. Are you willing to risk This is

482
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 8: just the question they have to ask themselves. Are they

483
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 8: willing to risk signing him to a to three year

484
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 8: extension and if it doesn't work out, changing coordinators with

485
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 8: only about a year or two left and down now.

486
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 8: I think that's that's something that they really have to

487
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 8: think about when it comes around.

488
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 3: I don't think they have. I don't think they have.

489
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 3: You think they have what I don't think they have.

490
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 9: I think they've made a decision on Mike McCarthy. I do, Yeah,

491
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 9: I do. I think they're I think they're totally comfortable

492
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 9: with Mike McCarthy. You know, I'd love to I'd love

493
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 9: to hear them this week talk about you know, hey,

494
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 9: we're going to extend Mike McCarthy. We're working on an

495
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 9: extension right now.

496
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 7: Are you kidding him? As a boy caller?

497
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 3: Sure? Sure? Keeping everything the same.

498
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 7: M you like pain?

499
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: I I don't know if I I don't.

500
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 8: I don't know if they've made the decision, though I

501
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 8: think that Jerry was pressed about it a little bit loud.

502
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 3: I think they have. I think they're really I don't

503
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 3: think that.

504
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 9: I don't think you would if you were not tremendously

505
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 9: happy with the direction this thing has been going, you

506
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 9: wouldn't have the reactions that he's been having, and we've had.

507
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 9: We've had Jerry Jones Stephen Jones on our station four

508
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 9: times a week, all four you know, four times a week,

509
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 9: and every single time nothing but positivity. And some point

510
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 9: you say, yes, you have to be positive, or you

511
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 9: just say no comment about that, you know. But I

512
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 9: I the way that the way that they're acting right now,

513
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 9: I think they've got their guy in mind.

514
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know if they have their their mind

515
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 6: made up or not. What I will say is being positive.

516
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 6: They're being being overly powered. Positive for Jerry is normal

517
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 6: like that You're we're acting like that's not normal for Jerry.

518
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 6: Jerry is extremely optimistic, and Jerry is extremely That's why

519
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 6: I always That's why I But my point is, even

520
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 6: when the decision ends up being something different, Jerry tends

521
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 6: to be publicly very positive, like he tends to be

522
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 6: a very positive, sure person when it comes to how

523
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 6: he portrays the team to the general public.

524
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 4: So I don't know if that means.

525
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 6: I don't know if I'm taking any clues from that

526
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 6: that he's made a decision one way or the other.

527
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 6: I think this is typical Jerry, that Jerry's gonna always

528
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 6: be optimistic, and when he sees something that gives him

529
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 6: even more reason to be optimistic, he's gonna be even

530
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 6: more optimistic.

531
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: Like that's just how he is.

532
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 6: I don't know that that necessarily means anything to me

533
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 6: about what the decision will be.

534
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, I respect, we disagree, and I disagree in a

535
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 9: way because I feel like to me that they are

536
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 9: totally comfortable with Mike McCarthy as their head coach.

537
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: They are totally comfortable with him as that.

538
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 4: And that may be the case.

539
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 6: All I'm saying is I don't think that that how

540
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 6: Jerry is portraying the team and his happiness for the

541
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 6: for the fact that they're playing well the last five weeks. Sure,

542
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 6: I don't think that that's necessarily the indicator. I just

543
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 6: think that's who Jerry is Jerry. We always always talk

544
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 6: about Jerry being so optimistic. He's extremely optimistic when it

545
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 6: comes to how he portrays the team.

546
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 9: How hard would it be for him to walk away

547
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 9: from Mike McCarthy if in fact that that the way

548
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 9: that they're they're playing right now.

549
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 6: To be honest with I do I do think that

550
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 6: if you would have gone back, if you.

551
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 4: Say where was Jerry six weeks ago to where he

552
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 4: is now, then I agree with you.

553
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 6: I think he's probably more in a boat right now

554
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 6: where it's like, man, it's it's hard to let him

555
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 6: go when I've seen the last.

556
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: I don't think he wants to go through another interview

557
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 3: process myself. I just don't.

558
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 4: Again, I don't know that.

559
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 7: We don't know McCarthy wanting to come back. That's another

560
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 7: thing like we don't. We don't know because again, he.

561
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 9: Was really disappointed before in pregame you listened to Brad

562
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 9: shamp ask him.

563
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 3: Questions, Yeah, he was, he was totally he was totally.

564
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 9: Uh, just in the tank about not being in the playoffs,

565
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 9: you know, and so you know, to me, I mean

566
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 9: I think that a guy that if he didn't want

567
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 9: to be here, I don't think he would be that way.

568
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: I don't think he would feel that way.

569
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 7: The only reason I bring that up. And I'm not

570
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 7: gonna bring a bunch of stuff on the air about this,

571
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 7: but we have heard little things in inner. I'm trying

572
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 7: to keep my job. No, I'm just kidding. No, I

573
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 7: am keeping my job. But my point is when you

574
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 7: listen through to interviews throughout the season from my McCarthy,

575
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 7: there have been times where he gives that an answer.

576
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 7: What it makes you wonder or think more when whenever

577
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 7: he maybe about the running backs and the running game

578
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 7: or what was happening in the game. So you hear

579
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 7: his frustration and it leads me to think, Okay, is

580
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 7: he actually happy here? Not to say that he's not,

581
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 7: because he's been here and he's committed to the team,

582
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 7: and you've seen that, and you saw that specifically in

583
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 7: that interview that you mentioned, Brian, but it makes me wonder,

584
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 7: is he wanting to go through all of this in

585
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 7: this scene where it's the Dallas Cowboys and we're in

586
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 7: the start And sometimes when you watch the frustration and

587
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 7: just the toll that it takes on you emotionally having

588
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 7: to deal with the amount of pressure here, it just

589
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 7: makes me wonder is he wanting to do that again

590
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 7: and stay here in Dallas. Well, I don't know, we'll see.

591
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 6: The reality is he has just as much say in

592
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 6: this as the organization does because he is a free

593
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 6: agent essentially after the.

594
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 4: Season is over.

595
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 6: So if he chooses to leave, he has every right

596
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 6: and ability to be able to leave. So it is

597
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 6: a two way thing here. This is not just the

598
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 6: Cowboys's eye whether.

599
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 9: Sees how that signed players, he's going to get He's

600
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 9: gonna be the highest paid coach in the league.

601
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 3: I'm saying that, kidding.

602
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, the perspective.

603
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 6: That on air, right, because people that are just listening,

604
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 6: if you if you, if you wait and if you

605
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 6: wait around here, you get your extension.

606
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, get nick saving money.

607
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 8: I'd be curious to know from Jerry's perspective, if his

608
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 8: mind was made up, why not.

609
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: Just come out and say it last night after the game?

610
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,239
Speaker 3: Oh I think you know what that That's what I've

611
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 3: been asking. Yeah, I mean I've been asking the same thing.

612
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 9: As happy as they are about this guy, as happy

613
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 9: as in giddy as he appears to be, and talking

614
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 9: about him in such a glowing and my gosh, you're

615
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 9: playing hard for him, and they're doing this and doing that.

616
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 9: That's what I'm saying, Go go extend him now. I

617
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 9: don't need I don't need you to tell me that

618
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 9: they're you know that, they're just go do it.

619
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 3: Go get the extension done this week and and and

620
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 3: or put it all the rest.

621
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 9: Maybe he will, Maybe he'll come on our shows this

622
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 9: week and say, you know what, I've made it this decision.

623
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 9: We're gonna bring Mike back, and I'm working on a

624
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 9: contract extension with Don Ye right now.

625
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 8: I doubt McCarthy would want to do that with two

Speaker 10: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

683
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 10: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

684
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,280

Speaker 4: Welcome back.

692
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 6: We are in the final segment of the break Live

693
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 6: from the SWBC Mortgage studios at the Star talking about

694
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 6: the Cowboys versus Buccaneers. Cowboys get to win twenty six

695
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 6: twenty four. This segment's brought to you about blockchain dot com.

696
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 6: All right, so let's talk about the running game. The

697
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,239
Speaker 6: running game had really been kind of the backbone of

698
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 6: this offense for the last couple weeks, really few weeks,

699
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 6: and then yesterday it just was not there.

700
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 4: Ric o'daldle was.

701
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 6: Thirty, had thirteen carries for twenty three yards of one

702
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 6: point eight average check out some of these advanced metrics.

703
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 6: He was fifty four percent against the stack They ran

704
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 6: fifty four percent of the time against a stack box, so

705
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 6: he was facing it up.

706
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 4: Bill Battle.

707
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 9: It's some one of the worst teams in the league

708
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 9: when it comes to run against stack boxes, and the

709
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 9: Buccaneers play at more than anybody.

710
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 8: Cooper rushed that yes, right too. So just backing up

711
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 8: your your great scouting on last last week, I was like, oh,

712
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 8: Brian brought it said that last week.

713
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: He must have been watching the break.

714
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 6: So here's my question, though, do you think that the

715
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 6: stack box and what they were doing there actually opened

716
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 6: up the passing game more? And that's why you saw

717
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 6: such great production by the passing game in Cooper rush.

718
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 8: You saw more one on ones yesterday was I think

719
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 8: you've seen all season? So yeah, I think that's that's

720
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 8: certainly the case. And dealing with a backup safety on

721
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 8: the back end with Antoine Winfield out, there were advantages

722
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 8: that could be taken here. I again respect to the

723
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 8: play caller, there was a couple instances where they were

724
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 8: able to just isolate guys and have speed against non speed.

725
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 8: And for example, the play that comes to mind is

726
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 8: you think back to last week when they had those

727
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 8: two Cavante Turpin carries for twenty seven yards in Carolina

728
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 8: and just lining him up in the backfield, handing it

729
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 8: to him like a straight up running back. They line

730
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 8: him up in the backfield for the first time last

731
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 8: night and they go play action to him. Cooper rolls

732
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 8: to his left and Brandon Cooks and one on one

733
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 8: with a guy is just blowing by his coverage. It's

734
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 8: the longest reception Brandon Cooks had all year for twenty

735
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 8: nine yards. I believe that was in the first quarter.

736
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 8: Set up that first touchdown pass, and I think with

737
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 8: those stacked boxes it certainly helped a lot with his

738
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 8: passing game.

739
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think to me when you when you watch it,

740
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 9: and Mike did a nice job.

741
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 3: You're talking about set it up.

742
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 9: He gets a twelve yard run with They get the

743
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 9: thing blocked on the backside really well. Smith does a

744
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 9: great job of cutting off his guy and then they.

745
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 3: Kind of get Vida Veya.

746
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 9: Secured and you know, next thing you know, Turpen's to

747
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 9: the hole, through the hole, makes a guy miss, and

748
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 9: now you're got a twelve yard gain. They come back

749
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 9: in the very same formation like Nick's talking about they

750
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 9: go heavy play action right off it and it and

751
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,239
Speaker 9: the play. The fact that they'd ran a play for

752
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 9: twelve yards the previous brought all the linebackers up and

753
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 9: brought the safety up off and that that's exactly where

754
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 9: Cooks went. So safety comes up. Cooks runs by a

755
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 9: ball right there. You know, Cooper did a nice job

756
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 9: but kind of sliding to his left and making sure

757
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 9: that ball got out.

758
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 3: But just the threat of.

759
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 9: That brought the brought the the Buccaneer defense up and

760
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 9: then created some space for them to work with. But

761
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 9: it was going to be tough to run the ball

762
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 9: against these guys. I mean it was you know, they

763
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 9: like say Dallas just does not run well against the

764
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 9: stack box three point four yards of carry. I mean,

765
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 9: even with Rico Daddle, he's one of the been one

766
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 9: of the most successful running backs in the league when

767
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 9: it comes to you know, with the positive carries or

768
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 9: you know, gains of four plus yards of carry successful carries,

769
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 9: and yesterday he you know, you just look at the

770
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 9: you look at the metrics and with guys on and

771
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 9: off the field for the Buccaneers, their defense, I mean

772
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 9: one point six one point six one point six, one

773
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 9: point five, zero point nine, you know, two point one.

774
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: I mean that's nothing.

775
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 9: That's nothing when it comes to yards to carry with

776
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 9: those defenders on the field, and then you flip it

777
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 9: on the other way, you know, Dallas said some guys

778
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 9: on the field it was about almost six yards of

779
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 9: carry and some of those instances. But you know that

780
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 9: it was the passing game is what got it done

781
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 9: because you were able to handle the linebacker pressure and

782
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 9: you and you didn't get you didn't get hurt by

783
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 9: any stuff that they usually do from the secondary.

784
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 3: Cooper Rush did a great job of getting the ball

785
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 3: out for that.

786
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 8: I'll tell you what you talking about the rush defense

787
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 8: for the Cowboys. Complimentary football helped this defense out more

788
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 8: than any other game in the season because have you

789
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 8: not been playing from ahead the entire game, that running

790
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 8: game would have caught up and it would have beat

791
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 8: you down before the end of the game. So I

792
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 8: complimentary football really worked for the defensive side this time.

793
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 8: I think that's the first time we could say that

794
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 8: this year unless I'm forgetting a game where it was

795
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 8: more evident.

796
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 7: Well, I was just gonna say that's where it comes

797
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 7: down to, because you look at all the stats. I mean,

798
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 7: the Bucks they beat you in every stat just by

799
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 7: a little bit more time, possession, the yards, and when

800
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 7: it comes down to it, the only place that the

801
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 7: Cowboys beat them at was in turnovers with the defense

802
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 7: and what they were able to do. And it just

803
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 7: goes to show once again that when you are able

804
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 7: to turn if you win the turnover battle, more often

805
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 7: than not, you're winning that game. And the defense once

806
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 7: again showed up. They made so so many plays. And

807
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 7: I know we were talking about the offense here, but again,

808
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 7: if the defense wasn't playing the way that they are,

809
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 7: I don't think this offense can get it done by itself.

810
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 7: But you still saw improvement and in a game where

811
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 7: there was the lack of the running game, you finally

812
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 7: saw some efficiency in the passing game. Now, the secondary

813
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 7: is not great. It's not the best second and I'm

814
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 7: talking about the Buccaneers. Their secondary is not the best

815
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 7: in the league or anything, but they were able to

816
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 7: take advantage of that. And we go back to talking

817
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 7: about Cooper Rush and him feeling more comfortable and being

818
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 7: more in connection with the receivers and Brian you mentioned

819
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 7: earlier Tolbert, a guy that disappeared the whole season, and

820
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 7: then all of a sudden, now he's starting to show

821
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 7: up again, making two key plays back back to back weeks.

822
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 7: So I think it comes down to just practicing more

823
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 7: time together.

824
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's actually dive a little deeper into that run

825
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 6: defense yesterday. That that was I agree with you, Nick,

826
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 6: I think there's without the fact that they had they

827
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 6: were playing with the lead for so much of the game.

828
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 6: I think that could have been a real turning point

829
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 6: for this game. I think that kind of been the

830
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 6: difference in this game. The one thing I noticed in

831
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 6: some of the advanced metrics was that they got the

832
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 6: majority of their success running inside left.

833
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

834
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 4: What did you guys.

835
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 6: See from the run defense specifically that you think was

836
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 6: most problematic for Dallas.

837
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 8: It's too early for me to comment on that specifically.

838
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 8: I haven't been able to go back and see what

839
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 8: work in the trenches are.

840
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think to me, what, you know, the one

841
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 9: thing that that early in the game, you get Mossy

842
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 9: playing pretty well and Linville Lynville Joseph, I mean, they

843
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 9: the Buccaneers, They've got their backs all finished going forward too.

844
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 9: That's that you know, And you really don't have to

845
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 9: get a lot of their black I mean, the Buccaneers are.

846
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 3: Good about getting a little bit of a guy and

847
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,760
Speaker 3: then the ball is to in past.

848
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 9: I mean that's where it's not like they're hard to

849
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 9: Bucky Irving. It's hard to bring down in the open

850
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 9: field or you know, in space. But that when you

851
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 9: look at the way that they're able to run the ball,

852
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 9: it was they got push on the tackle, you know,

853
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 9: Nick Vigel and those guys were having to fight some blocks.

854
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 3: Maritly if out fighting blocks.

855
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 9: You know, it got it got to the point where

856
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 9: they were able to get you know, they were winning.

857
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 9: They were playing on your side of the line of scrimmage,

858
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 9: and that's where I think that they took advantage on

859
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 9: some of these runs. It was contact past your point

860
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 9: of the line of scrimmage and then they were and

861
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 9: then everybody tried to rally to to kind of slow

862
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 9: some things down. But I thought it was gonna be

863
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 9: a lot worse, to be honest with you, the way

864
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 9: I thought that they were just going to commit with it.

865
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 9: But you talk about the complimentary football and the way

866
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 9: that they were able to to play. They were able

867
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 9: to play, you know, together on that and force Baker Mayfield.

868
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, playing they did a great job

869
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 9: of rushing the past especially did a great job. Mike

870
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 9: did a really great job of timing up his his

871
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 9: secondary blitzes because you look at Donovan Wilson getting home

872
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 9: a couple of times free, you look at George Lewis

873
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 9: getting home.

874
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: You know.

875
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 9: I think they had four rushes during the game. I

876
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 9: think three by Wilson, won by by Jordan Lewis. Three

877
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 9: of those all turned into pressures and hits and stuff

878
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 9: like that. So and and I think one of the

879
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 9: one of them up in a sack. Wilson had a sack,

880
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 9: so that there was some really timely Butson. But I

881
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 9: think to answer your question, Derek, Tampa Bay does a

882
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 9: great job of playing on your side of the line

883
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 9: of scrimmage, and I think they created some some opportunities

884
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 9: doing that off off your right side of the defense.

885
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, talk about complimentary football. The fact that they were

886
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 6: making Tampa play down two scores for a good part

887
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 6: of the game. That allowed Dallas defense to do what

888
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 6: they do best, which is pressure the passer. They got

889
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 6: pressure on thirty four percent of the dropbacks, seventeen pressures,

890
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 6: four sacks yesterday some of the guys that really stood

891
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 6: out there, and Micah of course had six pressures and

892
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 6: a sack. Marris Lefile had five pressures, Olso had four pressures,

893
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 6: Nieland had three pressures, Chauncey Golson had two pressures in

894
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 6: a sack. Talk about what you saw from the from

895
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 6: the pass rush particularly and how they were able to

896
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 6: get there. Obviously understanding the blitz, but just in the

897
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 6: base back at some of the guys that they were

898
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 6: able to get get home or at least get get

899
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 6: pressure on Baker Mayfield.

900
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 8: It's just a unit that is understanding what they have

901
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 8: to do now here on the back end of the season.

902
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 8: There was a lot of dialogue in the beginning of

903
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 8: the year about guys not necessarily understanding their assignments, what

904
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 8: pass rush lanes, things of that nature. Michael Parson's talking

905
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 8: about guys trying to be heroes, this, that, and the third.

906
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 8: I think everyone understands what they're doing now and it's

907
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 8: allowing Mike Zimmer to send guys like Donovan Wilson and

908
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 8: Jordan Lewis here on the back end of the season.

909
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 8: On situational blitzing, Mari Sleafel as well. I mean, Donovan

910
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 8: Wilson has gotten in the sack category in three of

911
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 8: the last four games. That does not happen if that

912
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 8: front is not playing a schematically sound and they're and

913
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 8: they're making the right assignments, are doing what they have

914
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 8: to do.

915
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 2: You know, Michael Parsons has talked about it.

916
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 8: He's like, hey, I've had to embrace on some snaps

917
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 8: just being the guy that takes takes on more and

918
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 8: allows others to get home on the quarterback. And I

919
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 8: think we're starting to see that trickle down throughout the

920
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 8: entire defensive line. And I think that's what really worked

921
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 8: in this game too. Everyone's just schematically sound right now,

922
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 8: because you go back to the Detroit game specifically, when

923
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 8: this defense was in a very similar situation, not having

924
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 8: Eric Hendricks having to figure out what to do on

925
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 8: that second level, you saw that defensive front being out

926
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 8: of sorts affect you more than any other game in

927
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 8: the year. It happens again, what are we ten weeks later,

928
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 8: I don't know, something like that, and you don't have

929
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 8: Eric Kendricks in that second level, but the defensive front

930
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 8: is helping them out so much more and it's trickle

931
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 8: down effect, and vigil is able to have a great

932
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 8: game on the back end as well. Yeah, talking about

933
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 8: the password's perspective, specifically, this defensive front is just playing well.

934
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, Marshawn kneeling, Carl Lawson, Yeah, those aren't on your

935
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 9: being go cards?

936
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 3: Are they?

937
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 9: Talking about guys that you know? I mean, Carl Lawson

938
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 9: has done a nice job for you. You talk about

939
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 9: the guys that are making no money, and then all

940
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 9: of a sudden his value is more like a fifteen

941
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 9: to sixteen million dollar.

942
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 3: Rusher the way that he plays.

943
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 9: But yeah, them, and and and and Neelan have done.

944
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 3: A really really nice job of com Golston.

945
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 9: I mean they they they've figured out this, the twist, stunts,

946
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 9: the blitz is the movements. Uh, they've they all work

947
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 9: together well with each other. You mentioned about uh Parsons

948
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 9: taking on blocks. Yeah, I mean he's he's I mean, guys,

949
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 9: he's getting double teams.

950
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 3: It's freeing up other guys. Mike's calling a pretty good game.

951
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 9: They're getting these teams to have to drop back and

952
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 9: pass and and all of a sudden, you've got guys

953
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 9: that Jimly can rush. It's not just Michaeh Parsons. Oh

954
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 9: so Diggy's you got some guys like him, and mentioned

955
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 9: Neil and Goldston Lawson. They've done it, Lynnville, Joseph hell

956
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 9: who had him for a sack yesterday laying down.

957
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah it was yeah, but they.

958
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 9: They they really they bullied that Tampa front on a

959
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 9: lot of those pass rushes and able to get home

960
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 9: that way.

961
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

962
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 6: I think now comes the big test for this offense

963
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,479
Speaker 6: and this defense, because the next two games you're gonna

964
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 6: have teams that I think are better than the teams

965
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 6: you've played the last two or three weeks, and we're

966
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 6: really gonna see what they can do, especial in situations

967
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 6: with those teams are a bit more desperate Phillies trying

968
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 6: to win the division, Phillies trying to stay in hunt

969
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 6: for maybe a first round by and.

970
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 4: That number one seed.

971
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 6: That's gonna be tough at this point with that lost yesterday,

972
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 6: but there's still got something they're playing for. Washington IVY

973
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 6: is still playing to get into the playoffs. So you're

974
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 6: gonna have some real challenges here these next two weeks,

975
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 6: and we'll figure out just how much this Dallas team

976
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 6: is resilient and wants to keep playing in these situations.

977
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 7: I was gonna say, well, we're playing for our jobs here,

978
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 7: and there we go. We got something that we're playing

979
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 7: for too, for our jobs.

980
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 8: We we're gonna have a conversation in the offseason on

981
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 8: one of these offseason shows about you know, what they

982
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 8: will have to do in free agency, what they can

983
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 8: do in free agency. These next two games are going

984
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 8: to determine a lot about what that conversation looks like,

985
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 8: especially when you look at guys like Golseno Digize Will

986
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 8: All right.

987
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,720
