Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Season eighteen, episode number seventy. Welcome to

00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: the latest edition of The Break. We are alive in

10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: this WBC Morgan Studios at the Star, representer by Miller Lite,

11
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: the only beer of the Dallas Cowboys. And man, I'm

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: not used to this having a Monday where we come

13
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: in here and talk about a loss. We've gotten kind

14
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: of spoiled around here. But Cowboys do lose. Yesterday, they

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: lose on the road at the Green Bay Packers. They

16
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: lose thirty one twenty eight in overtime. And where I

17
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: want to start today is there were so many things

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: that happened in this game. But I'd like to go

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: around the table and I'd like each of you to

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: tell me what you think was the biggest reason why

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: they lost yesterday's game. Let's start with you, Brian. We

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: knew going into the game the run defense potentially could

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: be a problem. I kind of felt like that that's

24
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: what green Bay was committed to doing. I kind of

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: feel like at the point in time when I went

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: back and watched the All twenty two, felt like that

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: they had a chance to end this game, win this

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: game with everything that happened to it. On the fourth

29
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: and seven play, you know that green Bay converted that

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: they got Watson scored a touchdown on right there, you

31
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: get a stop on fourth and seven. The game's over

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: balls right there basically at midfield, and you get a

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: shot to just run that thing out. You've got green

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Bay probably demoralized a little bit having to come back

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: on the field. But yeah, the run defense was going

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: to be a problem. And but that's the when you

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: look at you look at like key plays in the game.

38
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: You could talk about the fourth down play that Dallas had.

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: But if somehow, some way you make a play, you know,

40
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons on the twist stunt gets a little wide

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it gives Rogers the

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: opportunity to step up and make that throw. You know,

43
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons makes that play a lot of times. You

44
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: know it's a sack, it's a turnover, it's the game's

45
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: over at that right there. For all the things that

46
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: happened to you, good and bad in that football game,

47
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: you make one play on fourth and seven, You're gonna

48
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: win that football game. And I think that's a little

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: bit disappointing for something. If you said, give me one

50
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: thing other than Cowboy run defense that kind of affected

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: this game. Amber, Yeah, the run defense was definitely an issue,

52
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: and it was you can clearly see that from yesterday's game.

53
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: But like Ryan said, it's hard to pinpoint something specific

54
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: when you look at the game overall. And last week

55
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: on Friday and even Thursday, I was talking about one

56
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: of my biggest concerns going into this game, where penalties

57
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: and how that could have my thought of it affecting

58
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in a bad way, and it absolutely did.

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: Despite all the mistakes that were made on the offensive

60
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: side of the balls, the things, you know, the two interceptions,

61
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: certain plays that you're like, why are they calling display

62
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: right now? Despite all that, they were able to come

63
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: back make it a game. And then you go into overtime,

64
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: and I'm sure we're going to discuss those penalties, but damn,

65
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: it's like, why does they have to come down to that.

66
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you were able to tie the game against

67
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers comes back, the defense kind of bends in

68
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, which was crazy to see the way

69
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: that they were able to just run over all over

70
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: the defense. But I would say it's just mistakes on offense,

71
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: just not playing a clean game, some of the decision making,

72
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: maybe Dad getting a little too comfortable and making some

73
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: of those throws that he shouldn't have made, and it

74
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: just all came down to that. You could have started

75
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: the game being ten seven and he didn't go that way.

76
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: But I mean, there's no way to really predict what

77
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: could have happened at that point on if they had

78
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: kind of protected the ball better to start the game.

79
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Their quarterbacks better than yours by far, and that's the

80
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: difference in the game to me. So yeah, that's it.

81
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he made no mistakes and that made a

82
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: few mistakes, So that's the difference I think. I mean,

83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: he can't beat this guy. I mean, they beat him twice,

84
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: but you know it's ten years ago and fifteen years

85
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: ago or something like that. I mean, he's way better

86
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: than you, and then that's that's the problem. And he's

87
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: not interested in playing a lot of games, but he

88
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: was interested in that one apparently. Yeah, that's what's frustrating.

89
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: If I'm the Packers, I'm probably more frustrated than the Cowboys,

90
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: because if you got it, then give it every damn game.

91
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: You don't have it every game. Well, the difference I

92
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: think is that they didn't ask as much of it

93
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: him yesterday as they've typically asked of him. I think

94
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: he was very clear yesterday. They went into that game

95
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: saying he controlled the game. No, you know, he made

96
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: the throws when he needed to make the throws. But

97
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: guess what, he played a Cooper Rush kind of game.

98
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: That's the interesting points about this. Like they were not

99
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: throwing the ball around the yard. They were run. They

100
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: went in the game their first I think it was

101
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: of the first fifteen plays they ran, twelve of them

102
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: were rushing. Like they went into the game saying, Aaron,

103
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: we will call you when we need you right now.

104
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones, and Dylan

105
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna give you guys the ball and

106
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you run. It's it's it's funny. You've

107
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: played two of Hall of Fame quarterbacks this year in

108
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and then also Tom Brady, and neither one

109
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: of them really had to have a great game for

110
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: them to win by I mean, but to Nick's point,

111
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: he's when Rogers had to make throws. He made throws.

112
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean, and and they and you know, and he

113
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: he starts off the game throwing the ball to to

114
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: Watson and Watson drops two and row and you're like going, Okay,

115
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: we've seen we've seen this act before. But he just

116
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: kept throwing them the ball. And I think the Dallas

117
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: secondary got a little compromised with what was happening with

118
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: them with Bland and then you know, and also you

119
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: know them having to make a lot of changes though

120
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: in the secondary as well. I mean, it's just it

121
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: was tough. I mean, it's just it's I always say

122
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: it's about this team. It hates prosperity. It really hates prosperity.

123
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: It hates when you give them something that they can

124
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: they can take advantage of and make a difference, and

125
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: when they hate it when you do that. They like

126
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: to make it as hard as possible to win these

127
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: football games. It's never easy with this bunch. You know,

128
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: you get the turnover, I mean, tank with the brilliant

129
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: I mean, they get the sack and the sack fumble,

130
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: and like to Ambar's point, then you throw a ball,

131
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: you give it right back and they score on that,

132
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: you know, instead of instead of you kicking a field

133
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: goal or you scoring a touchdown, they give it right

134
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: back and it's like, okay, you know, well, hey, by

135
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: the way, we're gonna have a couple of runs in here.

136
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna make a good run. You're Oh,

137
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: by the way, we're gonna get called for holding here.

138
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Oh another thing. We're gonna run for nine yards. But

139
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: we're not gonna line up on sides. You know, they

140
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: hate prosperity. They just hate it when you give them

141
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: something that's going to help them win the game. And

142
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: that's the thing that's really the most frustrating. I mean,

143
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: the run defense stuff. We can get into all that

144
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: because of and I'll just give you an example on

145
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: the on the touchdown run, uh that that Aaron Jones

146
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: had where it just looked like it with a wide

147
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: open hole. They're running a twist stunt. They're running to twist.

148
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Bohannah goes out and it's supposed to be Fouler inside.

149
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: Fouler doesn't go inside. They got they got the twist

150
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: on the opposite side. They're gonna run the twist to

151
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: the play side and they're gonna twist right into it.

152
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: And what happens. Fowler doesn't run the twist, and now

153
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: it's a It's a huge gain for a touchdown. That's

154
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: the kind of things that happens to this football team

155
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: way way too often for them to be is as

156
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: good as they are with record, right, crazy thing. It's

157
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: like you're in Green Bay. You're going up against Aaron Rodgers.

158
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: Yes it is Aaron Rodgers better than Dak Prescott, Yeah,

159
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: sure he is. But you got you get to the

160
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: point where you got a fourteen point lead against them,

161
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: that's going into the fourth quarter, and then still you

162
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: manage And I don't think this game much to your point, Derek,

163
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: I don't think this game was necessarily won by Aaron

164
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: Rodgers and his arm. It was the running game where

165
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: they just completely ran through the whole Cowboys defense. But

166
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: it's just insane to see how the game started. It

167
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: was really slow, and then you get to that lead

168
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: like that, and then just completely they tied, the game

169
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: goes into overtime, then the crazy it happens. To Nick's point.

170
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: To Nick's point, Rodgers was into this game. The fact

171
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: on third down, fourth down there and he's yelling. He's

172
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: yelling at this guy. And I know he yells the

173
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: coach every once in a while, but you could tell

174
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: he wanted to win this football game. You could tell

175
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: about the way that he was that he was playing

176
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: and you know, and he stuck with it. I mean,

177
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: he made some really really good throws in this game

178
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: that they had they had to have, and you know

179
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: that that's the difference. You know, the recipe for your

180
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: quarterback throwing forty six times is never good, just never good.

181
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: When it turns into that, it's just you know, it's

182
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: something bad, it's probably gonna happen. So how much blame

183
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: do we give Kellen Moore Because it's one of the

184
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: things that we talked about during that five game stretch

185
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: where rushes your quarterback and you go four and one

186
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: and everybody's saying, well, yeah, the reason why is because

187
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: they're managing the game. With Cooper Rush, he only has

188
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: to make a few plays a game, and they're running

189
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: the ball. They're running the ball effectively, and they should

190
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: do the same thing when Dak comes back. However, yesterday

191
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: said that was not a Cooper Rush kind of game.

192
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: That was a game where we got our starter backs,

193
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: so that means we're just going to air it out.

194
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: There was never any reason for them to feel like

195
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: they got they should get away from the run. They

196
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: were running the ball effectively. How much blame do you

197
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: put on Kellen Moore? I put I put blame on

198
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: the fourth downplay, And honestly, I felt like at the

199
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: end when Mike McCarthy, he made me feel a little

200
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: bit better about it because I was thinking that maybe

201
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: McCarthy decided to go for it on fourth down and

202
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: Kellen didn't have a play ready, you know, but Mike

203
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: came out and said no. On second down. I told

204
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: him we're going. Obviously, trying to kick a field goal

205
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: that way was not good. Kicking off anything going that

206
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: direction was not good to be good enough. Though. The

207
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: problem I have is, though, what play you called if

208
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: if you're learning on third down that the officials are

209
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: not going to call pass interference or anything like that

210
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: on that third down play. I'm like, okay, I'm about

211
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: to throw a bunch pick route on you here, I

212
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: mean and pick. I'm about to run pick routes. And

213
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: if you're if you're going to swallow the whistle on this,

214
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm coming with a fourth down play or a play

215
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna get me this first down where but you know,

216
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: to run trips and then try and really, I mean,

217
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: the shallow cross was not there, the ball the curl

218
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: inside wasn't there because Alexander, and then you kind of

219
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: throw the ball to Pollard in the flat. You know,

220
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: give me a play where, give me your best two

221
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: point play to get a first down. Give me something

222
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: that make these officials like I say, run picks, get

223
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: guys open, kind of wheel it. Do whatever you have

224
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: to do. But for that call at that particular time

225
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: in the game, I'm like, going that play had nothing.

226
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: That play had absolutely nothing. And I agree with you

227
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: about running the football. I do. I think putting Dak

228
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: in Harm's way at times is not very good. But

229
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: I also feel like though that have a really have

230
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: a good play ready on fourth down and I don't

231
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: think they did in this particular case. You look at

232
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 1: the numbers on DAC yesterday. He was twenty seven to

233
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: forty six to fifty nine percent completion rate not good,

234
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty five yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions.

235
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: That I think is key in this quarterback grading was

236
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: seventy eight point six. Nick. How much blame you put

237
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: on DAK for that loss? Not as much as I

238
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: put on Kellen More. I mean, that's that's the I mean,

239
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't the fourth down play. I agree that was bad,

240
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: but it's third down. For me. It's third and three

241
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: with six twenty five to go. I mean, run the football.

242
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: They are not stopping either one of those two backs.

243
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: And I'm and I'm putting at the balls at the

244
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: thirty five yard line. You're not kicking it at the

245
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: thirty five. Would you kick it at the thirty two? Maybe?

246
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: And you might kick it, And you might kick it

247
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: at the thirty two with five minutes to play in

248
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: the game and overtime as opposed to six to twenty five,

249
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: run it, run it, and and I don't think they

250
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: get stopped. And you know, but the you know, the

251
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: the officials, you hate you hate to blame officials, but

252
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: you just want to see it consistent. If you're gonna

253
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: call Connor William I'm sorry, Connor McGovern same thing, because

254
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: you want to think about the holding. You're gonna call

255
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: McGovern on that penalty in overtime. If you're calling that, okay,

256
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: then then call it. If you're gonna just say and overtime,

257
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: let him play, it's gotta be a it's got to

258
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: be like a blood bath before I call anything. That's

259
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: why I would do it. But they don't do it

260
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: that way. You're gonna call that, then you gotta call

261
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: it with CD getting getting Oh he got interfered with.

262
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: He got interfered with. And that's clearly that's why. Again,

263
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: that's why you know, and I think Nick's right, run

264
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: the ball, run the ball. You'd had success and not

265
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: stopping that. You're not stopping that, you know. And that's

266
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: the thing about it is that. But man, I mean,

267
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: if at that fourth down play, it's like, fine, okay,

268
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: you did, You're not gonna give us one. I'm about

269
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: to run a pick and I'm gonna see if you're

270
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna call offensive pass interference here when I spring ceedee

271
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: lamb open for about twenty six yards here because I'm

272
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: gonna run. I am going to make you have to

273
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: make that call. You make that call. Now I'm losing

274
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: my absolute mind. But you know I lost it. I

275
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: just it. Yeah, But that's that's what happened with that. Well,

276
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: the headsets broke. There's that just shows you how emotionless

277
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: game was for Mike McCarthy for shot. You know, I mean,

278
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: and he and I don't. I think it was the

279
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: frustration when he talked to Brad Sham pregame. You know,

280
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: we played on one O five three. The fan he

281
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: was he was a you know, it was a little

282
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: bit try go Brady. He just guarantee a win. You know,

283
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: he was very much, very confident that his football team

284
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: was going to go out there and play well and

285
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: he was gonna get they were gonna vict That coaches

286
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: have confidence all the time, but Mike was very much

287
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: a after we get this win, you know, we're gonna

288
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: go back and we're gonna you know. And I was like, oh, okay,

289
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think this. I think this one meant

290
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: a lot to him. And the fact that they didn't

291
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: get it and they had some penalties on the back

292
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: end of this thing, I think made him even more

293
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: upset after the game. You can just if you listen

294
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: to the press conference of him speaking, the way he

295
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: was talking, even at one point his eyes were pretty shiny,

296
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, So there was a lot of emotion there

297
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: and you can absolutely see it. And going back to

298
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: some you mentioned Celee Lamb, you guys were talking about him,

299
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: and it reminded me of that one play that they

300
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: have that they like put that play away. I don't

301
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: want to hear whatever option routes happen in the middle

302
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: of the field. You don't want to run anymore. Want

303
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: to hear miscommunication being the word used after a game again,

304
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: like bringing Brough, Like what miscommunication? You practice this and

305
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: and and I'm reacting this way because this isn't the

306
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: first time we see this. So last week, Yeah, it

307
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: happened two weeks weeks ago, Yeah exactly. Yeah, you had

308
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: a week to fix it, and then it happens again.

309
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: And then you use the word miscommunication, Well what the

310
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: are you? What are you doing in during practice and

311
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: there should not be a miscommunication. Well that's and that's

312
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: something to do with Dak's first interception. We we could

313
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: we could have sat out there and watched them practice

314
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: that play that they end with Schultz and CD getting

315
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: kind of real close there, and when they run to play,

316
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: there's no congestion there. Everything is spaced right. Everything you

317
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: know it's and Dak makes that throw and it's like, okay,

318
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: you know next period, you know everything it's it's it's

319
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: a successful play. It scores every time in practice. Yeah,

320
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: and then when you run it into game, you're like going,

321
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: wait a minute, the Titan gets a little short in

322
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: the route. The receiver didn't get far enough. Wait a minute,

323
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: there's guys standing there. Like when you practice that play,

324
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: it's a touchdown every single time. But that's also where

325
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: that's quarterback. But that's why he makes that throw. That's

326
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: why he makes that throw because every single time they

327
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: practice that, it's a touchdown in practice, right, But that's

328
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: also where he has to And maybe I don't understand

329
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback position in the NFL. I will a lot

330
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: have never played NFL quarterback, but I would think that

331
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: he is watching his receivers to know, Oh, wow, his

332
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: short's coming up, his route is coming up a little show,

333
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: Oh he got bumped there. Oh there's a ton of

334
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: congestion there. Maybe i't to go to a different receiver

335
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: or maybe think about tucking and running or getting rid

336
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: of the ball well one of those other options. See,

337
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: but there was all that congestion there, there were receivers

338
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: that were not where they were supposed to be. I

339
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: still put it on the quarterback. You've got absolutely right,

340
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: absolutely see and the and the previous play to that,

341
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: they try and run a screen. They fake a screen

342
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: to the left, and it just goes to show you

343
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: how fed up things get for the Cowboys when it

344
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: comes to running. They got they got a chance on

345
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: the screenplay, but they got Davis in there running the

346
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: play and he gets all knocked around, and then Dak

347
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: has to run the ball. So you know, you never

348
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: know if that's if that's Pollard or is that Zeke?

349
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: Is it a clean you know, is it a clean throw?

350
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: And now we're not throwing an interception on the next play.

351
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, you know, you're thinking, oh, they

352
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: faked a screen. They get everybody to one side, but

353
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: then the back who doesn't play all the time gets

354
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: knocked around a little bit. So now Dak has to

355
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: eat it. And what happens. Then third down he's making

356
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: a force throw, you know, but you're you're not wrong

357
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: about that and seeing it how he needs to see it.

358
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: All right, It's like our first break and we come back.

359
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: We got to talk about the defense man. This defense

360
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: we had such high hopes for them early in the season,

361
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: and yesterday it does leave a lot of doubts. We'll

Speaker 1: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

369

409
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: good time right now the middle it's off, but get

410
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: it together. We'll get it together. Blockchain is a good one. Yeah,

411
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: they are allowed. The defense allowed two hundred and seven

412
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: rush yards yesterday five point three average. And the interesting

413
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: part is they ran almost double the amount of times

414
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: to day through the ball. They had thirty nine rushes

415
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: in the game twenty passes, twenty past attempts. So the

416
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: big question, why couldn't Dallas stop Aaron Jones and and

417
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: dealing cleats? Well, by the way, there is a conversation

418
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: we need to have about cleats, but we'll get to

419
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: that in a moment. Why couldn't they stop to run? They?

420
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: They they they're really struggling right now with their um.

421
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: Dan's trying to do some things differently with He probably

422
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like he could play toe to toe with

423
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: anybody right now and be okay, use as a run defense.

424
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: So what happens is he gets into some slant fronts.

425
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: And when you get to slant fronts, you know, you're

426
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: taking a gamble, you're risking. You're saying, Okay, we're gonna

427
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: slant it to what we think is the strength of

428
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: the you know, and and Isaiah Standbeck said it, I

429
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: thought pretty well in the show before Us. Whereas if

430
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: you declare strength to the tight end and you slant

431
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: the front towards the tight end and then the ball

432
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: goes the other way, you're slanting away from that, and

433
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: now you're leaving yourself in a situation where you're outnumbered um,

434
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: they weren't particularly good. Again at the point of attack,

435
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: when I talk about guys getting blocked one on one,

436
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: Micah wasn't particularly good. And you know, folks, listen, I'm

437
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: Mike is a great player. He doesn't get hold every play.

438
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons on times on some of the runs will

439
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: try and hero ball it and go backdoor. And you

440
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: can't play run back door. You've got to play run

441
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: front door. And I mean front door is as the

442
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: ball is coming towards you. You cannot try and go

443
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: behind the blocker and then go get the ball. The

444
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: backs won't allow you to do that. Now, maybe if

445
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: you're playing against Indiana or Northwestern or people like that

446
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten, tied from the Lions, we chase down.

447
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: You're not chasing that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Though,

448
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: there's there's some scheme issues that they're really struggling with

449
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: right now. And I mentioned about the touchdown run where

450
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: you run a twist front and I mean cross the

451
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: ends and the tackles, and you're trying to kind of

452
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: confuse blocking schemes. But if you don't get the twist

453
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: to the side of the of the play and then

454
00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: it turns into Bohannah's wide, Fouler's wide. Now you have

455
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: this gaping hole which which Jones was able to run in,

456
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: and then they got the touchdown where he spends backwards

457
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: and dives in the end zone. You know, there's there's

458
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: times where two where you're in a situation where your

459
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: ends get hooked, your linebacker gets suck. They're doing a

460
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: great job. Teams are of getting their center up on

461
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: a linebacker, their guards up on a linebacker. They're getting

462
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: cracks from tight ends. You know, they're not winning near enough.

463
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: Mercedes Lewis, he's a big, big body tight end. He's

464
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: cracking down. You're not getting off that block. You're not

465
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: getting somebody over the top. You're having that soft corner.

466
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: We've talked about that a bunch. Kelvin Joseph was much

467
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: better trying to be a forced corner yesterday doing what

468
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: we've seen from Brown or even Diggs. You could go

469
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: back and watch they all twenty two and watch Diggs retreat, retreat, retreat,

470
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: to stay wide and then the ball go inside of him.

471
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: You know, you have to be willing to step up

472
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,239
Speaker 1: and kind of force the run, and they're just not

473
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: getting that nearly enough, but the slant front's hurting them.

474
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: The fact that they don't get off blocks, and the

475
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: fact that they're not playing the scheme right is far

476
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: What Dan's calling leads to a team getting over two

477
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: hundred yards Russian on you. Yeah, I mean this team

478
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: is I mean they gotta They're gonna have at the

479
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: end of the year, probably five guys with five or

480
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: six sacks. I mean, that's a lot. But the problem

481
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: is is they're built to have sacks. They're not built

482
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: to stop the run, right. I mean, what did Dorian's

483
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: Armstrong do yesterday? Half a tackle? I mean, Fowler had

484
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: a face mask, bastard, I don't think did a whole

485
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: lot did nothing? I don't. I mean what did I mean?

486
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: Sam Williams made a sack, but I mean like in

487
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: him and Parsons both they rushed the passer, but like

488
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: to Brian's point, they don't like I think teams are

489
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: gonna look at these guys and go, Okay, well he's

490
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: not very big, so we're gonna have to run at them.

491
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: And then if you keep running at them and it's

492
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: third and three, then you prevent Michael from being Michael.

493
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: It neutralizes him. Yeah, the fact that again he wasn't

494
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: great playing the run yesterday either. A little of a

495
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: frustrating game. But to Nick's point, basham armstrong. These guys

496
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: are not built to sit there and play toe to toast.

497
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean, so they have to move in order to

498
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: but they can't get off the field because what happens

499
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: teams are like, listen, you're just too light. You're too

500
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: light up there. And if you're gonna you know, but

501
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: if you're gonna scheme and then try and slant, like

502
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: I said, slant it, but play it incorrectly, well we'll

503
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: take that chance. You know, we'll take a chance that

504
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna Okay, fine, you're gonna slant to the strength,

505
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: we'll run the ball the other way. You're gonna you know,

506
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: you think now you're gonna play it back to the

507
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: weak side, Well we'll run it back to the strong

508
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: side because we've got numbers over there. So yeah, they've

509
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: they've got they've got some issues. Uh. You know, teams

510
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: are saying a little bit too that they play so

511
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: much nickel. You know, they they're a lighter, they play

512
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: a light front. I mean, not with numbers. They were

513
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: committed to stop in the run yesterday at eight eight

514
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: in the box. At times they just couldn't stop the run.

515
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 1: You know. The packers are like, fine, you're you can

516
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: put as many bodies as you want down there, But

517
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: if you're not, if the eighth body is nearer the

518
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: box is a digs, he's not gonna help you down there.

519
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: You know, Brown, He's not gonna help you down there.

520
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: So that's an issue right out for them. That's a big,

521
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: big issue that they they've got to I don't think

522
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: there's any magical thing that's gonna you know, with Tank,

523
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: the way that Tank plays, I mean, Tank has a

524
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: feel for how to not let not get hooked. He's

525
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: got to feel for how to cross face a block

526
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: and get to the outside or stay there, or knife

527
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: down inside and go tackle the ball from the backside.

528
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: You don't have anybody else that's playing like that. Now,

529
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: Tank's not perfect all the time, because there's times where

530
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: he will gamble inside and then the ball will go

531
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: to the edge and now he's trapped trying to fight

532
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: a block. But they they've they've got a lot of

533
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: guys that are trying to play hero ball and run

534
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: defense and it ain't gonna work. That ain't gonna work.

535
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: You and I were talking a lot during the game,

536
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: from really from the beginning of the game on. It

537
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: looks like there's a game where Michael's gonna be playing

538
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: linebacker and you had a problem with that. What were

539
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts on him being at linebacker versus defensive and

540
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: where he's been pretty much most of his career. But yeah,

541
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: I have a problem with it. But but it sounds

542
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: like teams know what's going on to you can't. That's

543
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: not just the fix just to put him at defensive end,

544
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: because it doesn't mean they're gonna throw it that it

545
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: is just gonna run the other way. So it's a

546
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: it's a cat and mouse game because he's playing middle

547
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: not middle linebacker. He's playing linebacker, and he's able to

548
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: get involved with with the action and you hope that

549
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: you make the tackles and it's third and long and

550
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: then you can move them around. But if you just

551
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: put him an end, like they'll they'll figure that out too,

552
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: and they'll run to the other side or run run

553
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: the other side. That seems to be okay because I

554
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: trust more than any other defensive end on this team.

555
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: I trust DeMarcus Lawrence to be able to to to

556
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: basically capture the edge. Yeah, Like that's one guy I

557
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: trust to be able to do that consistently. I don't

558
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: know if there's another one that I trust, not see

559
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: enough to play defensive end. Yeah, that's why Mica or

560
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: you would have played the defensive end in college and

561
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: he would have been drafted as an end. Where he

562
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: is is he's a linebacker that has the ability to

563
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: move on third and ten, third and eleven, what are

564
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Run it? Cool, run it and we'll

565
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: probably stop you. But he rushes and that's a huge problem.

566
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: But he are getting it. They're not getting in third

567
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: and long. So once you guys are telling me, is

568
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: there's no solution for this this season, not right now,

569
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: not right man. The solution is if I don't think Dan,

570
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: like I said, wants to play anybody straight up. I

571
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: think he's worried about that. Uh. To me, it's it's

572
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: tough because now you could play a guy like Gholston,

573
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: you know, at one end instead of see That's what

574
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying to me, He's he's a poor man's he's

575
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: a poor man's Uh. Tank to me because he does

576
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: not let you get to the outside. You know, he's

577
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: gonna play off blocks. He's gonna play strong at the

578
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: point of attack. That's the thing. Bar also might help

579
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: more with with that as well as a Bar because

580
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: I've heard you talk about Bar being in more of

581
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: a pass rusher. That's obviously what he did in Minnesota.

582
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: Is he a guy though, that can play that edge

583
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: in that way to where he's stout enough to be

584
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: able to maintain the edge, He's He's man, It's a

585
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: little fifty fifty for me. I'm just saying for me.

586
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to speak for an anybody at this table.

587
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: You know, because I've seen him. I've seen him get hooked.

588
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: I've seen him get trapped inside. You know, they have

589
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: guys that overrun plays too. They have guys like Micah

590
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: and Laton, and those guys will be flying to get

591
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: to the ball and the ball cuts back and then

592
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: it's you know, now they got blockers on those guys

593
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a four and five yard game.

594
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, they you know, bash them, Armstrong, Fouler, those guys.

595
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's some issues up there playing the

596
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: run because of the fact that they just can't. They

597
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: don't hold up well enough. You know, if they get

598
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: off blocks, yeah, that's fine, but they don't always get

599
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: off blocks. That's that's the biggest issue. That's the thing

600
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: I keep trying to figure out in my head because

601
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: it seems so simple, but yet it's not. And when

602
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: you watch the games, I mean, all I can think

603
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: of is these linebackers needing help. But then you don't

604
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: have people to give them the kind of help they need.

605
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: And at times, I mean, you should know what's coming,

606
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: but sometimes I just feel like they get lost, as

607
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: if every time or when they're gonna run the opposing

608
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: team is gonna run the ball, they don't really know

609
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: how to track the ball or where to go. Like

610
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: they're always kind of fit. Yeah, and it's like, okay,

611
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: you know it's coming, especially when they keep doing it

612
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: at you so and I keep trying to think, how

613
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: can you position these lines backer linebackers better and what

614
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: kind of help can you bring them? And I don't

615
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: have I don't have really an answer other than what

616
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: starts up front with the defensive line. Yeah, they they

617
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: were in some situations where you know, with Bohannah see

618
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about, well, why have Bohannah and why have Hankins.

619
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: It's not the inside part of the running game. It's

620
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: not that's not the problem. That's not the problem. It's

621
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: teams have figured out that they can work the ball

622
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: to the edge. Do you saw how many times Derek

623
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: brought it up the first place? Again, they throw sideways. Basically,

624
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: they're just tossing the ball to Jones. Go run to

625
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: the edge, Go run to the edge. You know, they're

626
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: trying to get it to the outside because you know,

627
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: dealing with Hankins and dealing with Bohanna and guys like that,

628
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: that's not easy. Those guys don't always get moved. You know,

629
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: even you know Gallimore don't always get moved inside. It's

630
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: what happens on the perimeter to you at the end

631
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: and at the linebacker spot that really really hurts you. Now,

632
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna take our final break. We're gonna

633
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: come back. There were some moments in this game, some

634
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: situations in this games. I need to we need to

635
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: talk about some different things that happen that we want

636
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: to get some clarity on. Well that when we come back.

646
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: in the cheetahs Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent

647
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: he bought online was reliable, and now Todd is trying

648
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: to be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty

649
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: miles per hour. But the good news is Todd has

651

Speaker 1: Like the Only Beer of the Dallas Cowboys. I do

681
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: want to talk about this situation late in the game.

682
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: This was an overtime Cowboys have We've talked about the

683
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 1: third and three and then the fourth and three. Cowboys

684
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: decided to go for it there on the fourth and three.

685
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: There's been some talk of people's sucking, second guessing the

686
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: coaching coaching on that as to whether they should do

687
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: that or give it a shot there at fifty three

688
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: yards from the field goal. What were your thoughts? Wasn't

689
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: gonna make it? Yeah, you guys were at the game.

690
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: I just felt like anything going that direction kicking was

691
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be good. Okay, there's an invisible slip down there. Yeah,

692
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: just look it looked like kickoffs. Yeah, on a T kickoffs,

693
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: it goes to the goal line when it's typically eight

694
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: nine yards back. So that's probably a ten yard difference

695
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: right there. On a tea. This is on regular grass

696
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: ten yards and you don't even have to imagine it.

697
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: All I have to do is look at the one

698
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: Mason Crossby had and that was the last ever. Yeah,

699
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: so it doesn't go that way. And you say before

700
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: the game, you made a good point. You say it

701
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: before the game, he was booming its like no problem,

702
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: which I said. I talked about it, you know, up

703
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: in the press box and I said, I think I

704
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: would have taken the wind, but in overtime and overtime

705
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: and just take the win, and they get the ball

706
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: to start it, and you gotta stop him. You gotta

707
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: stop him from from scoring a touchdown. And they hadn't

708
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: done it yet, so it was risky. It was risky.

709
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: But if you could stop them and they have to

710
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: pun into that and then next thing you know, you're

711
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: in fifteen twenty yards from kicking a field going winning it,

712
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: so that if they lose, will be talking to the

713
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: coach that doesn't deferge or start the game because he

714
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: wants to take the ball and go out and make

715
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: a statement. He's not doing that, like you're not. You're

716
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: not taking the wind, and you're not you're not doing

717
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: that by the way they have to change overtime rules.

718
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: It is ridiculous. Overtime rules are absolutely a joke, and

719
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: they gotta they gotta say, it's almost like playing soccer

720
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: for ninety minutes and then going to it de penalty kicks.

721
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: It's a different game. It's a completely different condensed ten minutes.

722
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: The point you're making it just for the benefit of

723
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: those out there. Basically, you got different rules right now

724
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: in the regular seasons versus the post. True, that's stupid

725
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: and another's you know, and I hope Stephen wasn't on

726
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: that voted for that, But I mean, I think it's stupid.

727
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: I mean, to change a rule for the playoffs and

728
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: for the regular season, go go go find out in

729
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: week seventeen, a week eighteen, how many playoff games are

730
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: actually happening. And then you know, worth the end and

731
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: tie all that kind of stuff, which that would have

732
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: been the worst. I mean, I think I would have

733
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: felt worse with the tie. Yeah, but the point is

734
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: both teams would get the ball. Yeah, and it's just

735
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: a different it's reponsive touchdown. Yeah, I don't know, they

736
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: played fifteen minutes and didn't score. I mean, I just

737
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: I think it's a different I just don't like the

738
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: way the game is. But it feels like they have

739
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: to change the way the game is played. But college rules,

740
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 1: to be quite honest with you, when when college changed

741
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: to their format where I sat there for seven overtimes

742
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: at A and M and L. Now, the more I've

743
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: watched it, the more I kind of like it. And

744
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: I like it maybe more than the way the NFL

745
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: does it because there is some intrigue to it, and

746
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: it always is based upon you get a shot. I

747
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: get a shot, and let's just battle it out until

748
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: somebody falls, you know, And I kind of like that.

749
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: You know what, It'll be changed, though they'll have to

750
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: do something. It will not the NFL has to change,

751
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: but it definitely changes fantasy football if you did that.

752
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying no doubt, I'm not saying the

753
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: Competition Committee worries about that, but they do worry about ratings.

754
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean, and there's your red zone channel. Yeah, fantasy

755
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: football is that would try everything ratings. Yeah, but they

756
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: think you could change the rules on your overtime points

757
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: and whatever it is. Yeah, all right, let's move on

758
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: to the next thing I want to talk about. Did

759
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: you think they should kick it. No, no, I just

760
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it about every I thought everybody

761
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: said it. I'm sorry, No, no, I'm I'm totally okay

762
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: with I could say I my play call would have

763
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: been in that hindsight, I just saw it. But when

764
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: I saw it afterwards, I said, that play didn't give

765
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: you a chance to get the first down. That's that

766
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: bothers me is that the one Tyler Smith's got beat

767
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: pretty bad. Him and both both the left guard and

768
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: left tackle both got beat on that play. I wasn't

769
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: good overtime for Connor. Nope. And can we know this

770
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: is stupid and I think people would also get annoyed

771
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: by this. But if you're going back to the penalties,

772
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: if you're doing that, let's have you know overtime already.

773
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: Shouldn't there be like why don't they come down to

774
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: one person's decision? Like shouldn't it be able to some

775
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: kind of review happen here? I know this is a

776
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: little ridiculous, but when you I mean it's it decides

777
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: the game. Ultimately, you changed the game by these decisions.

778
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: And when you hear even with what happened with Jalen Toilber,

779
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: when you hear him saying I checked with the official

780
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: and she didn't. He didn't, he didn't. No, No, he

781
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: was lined up. I mean literally, I'm in the studio

782
00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: was wondering that. I'm I'm yelling, yeah, I'm like back up,

783
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: back up, back up, and I'm yelling in Zack's like

784
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 1: what he goes he's off sides, he's off and then

785
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: he looks back and they got him for motion because

786
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: he's turning around looking at the official trying to talk.

787
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: He did scoop back, but the ball was snapped. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,

788
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: that's what they call five. You know. The interesting part

789
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: was they actually called something different than the signal they

790
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: did this. But say to me, he was moving when

791
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: the ball was snapped and it was a legal procedure.

792
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: That's what I thought. But he immediately And the only

793
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: reason I noticed is because the black line to scrimmat,

794
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: they have a line like glind to gain and then

795
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: where the ball is on the there's a black line

796
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: on TV. He is past the black line. I'm going

797
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: he's off sides. You know, not that it, you know,

798
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: but you just look at the way he was aligned

799
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: and he never and I'm thinking he was going to

800
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: adjust back. He never did. He just stood there and

801
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, he had this. This is why people ask, well,

802
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: why doesn't Jalen Tilber play ken? We you go, can

803
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: we get James Washington in the game? I mean, Siah,

804
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: can we get James Washington like on the field to

805
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: least start because right now, I mean he's doing just

806
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: a little bit less. Well, you know, names we got

807
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving coming up, and we have to work out the

808
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: schedule of his return, and we got to be careful

809
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: put him out there. This is ridiculous. He's been ready

810
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 1: for four weeks. He's got he's got just as many

811
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: catches as Jalen Tilbert does. And the special team stuff though,

812
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: that's a bones fossil that just yeah, you know, you're

813
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: not wrong, you're not wrong. But but what happens is

814
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: bones walk Yeah, Bones walks down there and says, oh,

815
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: this is what we need to do and all that. Honestly,

816
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: that's the greatest game I've ever seen anybody play on

817
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: special teams. Gifford, Yeah, he had a game less five

818
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: tack games. Yeah, I mean that's the fourth. I mean,

819
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: you could rank fourth on the defense with five tackles.

820
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: He did it all on Special teams. Plus he recovered

821
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: a fumble which basically landed in his lap and he

822
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: was there for that on that forced fumble with with

823
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: good and I mean seriously, he could have been an

824
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: NFC Special Teams Player of the Week if they win

825
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, and he still could have. I guess,

826
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: but man, I don't think I've ever seen five titles

827
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: in a game. How much do you guys think that that? Uh?

828
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: I guess. The slipping that was happening last night, you

829
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: had Duran Duran Bland. He slipped there, and in a

830
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: situation where he was in coverage, you had Turp and

831
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: seem like he was slipping all nights. Seemed like he

832
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: was just on skates throughout the night. But the interesting

833
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: part was coach talked about it all last week. They

834
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: were they were making sure that the players knew you

835
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 1: gotta check out. I told you, I saw this white board,

836
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: big white boar written at the game, make sure you

837
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 1: test your cleats on the field. This was all pre game,

838
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: So there's no reason why there should be a cleats talk.

839
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: This is absolutely why, or one of the reasons why

840
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: you should have had a bit of an advantage going

841
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: into that game last night because you had a coach who,

842
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: because of experience, could tell you things that maybe you

843
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: wouldn't get from another coach. They hadn't coached there for

844
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: as many years as he had, and it sounds like

845
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: he was coaching his team the right way. For whatever reason,

846
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: it still ended up being a problem. How much of

847
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: a problem was I mean, it was a couple of

848
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: times definitely happened. And Here's what I don't know, because

849
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't watch a lot of their games. I mean,

850
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you do have the right cleats, but

851
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: does that necessarily mean that you you you never slip.

852
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I mean, I again, I

853
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't I don't think if you have

854
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: everyone wears these these thick, you know, long cleats that

855
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: nobody ever slips and falls. I mean it's really ironic though,

856
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: the way, I mean, Theron Bland comes in the game

857
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: and that's basically how they win the game because he

858
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: falls and Lezard finally caught a pass, and you know,

859
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: that's it. That's the think he had changed this also,

860
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean to that point, because I was wondering the

861
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: same thing, I'm like, hmm, I wonder, does my son

862
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: slip more when he has the slip on socks. Not really,

863
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: he slips less. But when you watch the Green Bay

864
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: Packers the way they were playing, like you didn't see

865
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: that happen. I don't, I don't remember, I don't recall.

866
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: That's important that it happened to the Cowboys. So that's

867
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: where he kind of leads you to wonder, Okay, what

868
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: what the heck was the problem here? Because you know

869
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: how to shoose shoes were a problem. They didn't. I mean, okay,

870
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: some players do list, but some players are so comfortable

871
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: with their gear, like for a hundred years, for one

872
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: hundred years, Jason Witton would never change his helmet, you know,

873
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: he never. I mean some players that they play in

874
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: shoes and they're comfortable with their shoes, and they're like,

875
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: I'll be fine with these shoes. They think I'm gonna

876
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: be fine until they're out there on a third down

877
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,439
Speaker 1: critical play and they go sliding around and then there's

878
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: a big catch. It ends the game. You know, that's

879
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: that's you know, sometimes you just get so wrapped in

880
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: like I'll be fine, I'll be fine, And I have

881
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,479
Speaker 1: a film They had a couple of guys that said,

882
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: I'll be fine and probably just think when it comes

883
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: to equipment and our part of the equipment, it shouldn't

884
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: be up to the player, it should be up to

885
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: the team. Well, but I do think I do think

886
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 1: part of that has to be kind of to Brian's point,

887
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 1: what the player feels comfortable in, because you still want

888
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: them to feel comfortable enough to be able to maneuver

889
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: and do the things that they do and not be

890
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: self conscious about the equipment. Right. So, and there are

891
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,720
Speaker 1: different guys. You see it all the time. Different guys

892
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: wear different sized pads, different sized you know, kneepads and

893
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,959
Speaker 1: all this stuff, like it's all about how their bodies feel.

894
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: So I do think you want to have that be

895
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: still a part of it. But I get your point.

896
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: The coach made it clear, guys has something to be

897
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,439
Speaker 1: aware of, and that's what you do as a coach.

898
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: Be aware, be aware, be aware. That was my experience.

899
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: Whatever reason, some were not as aware and it may

900
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: have cost them. Yeah, all right, appreciate you guys. Jones.

901
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow. We're gonna figure out a little

902
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: bit of a big picture on what's happening here. Now

903
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys fall to third in the division, and now you

904
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: start wondering about what's happening with the wildcard spots because

905
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: some of these teams that maybe you kind of thought

906
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: would be dead are now creeping back into this thing.

907
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that tomorrow. Till then, for Nick Eatman,

908
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: Brian brought us Amber Garcia. I'm Derek Eagleton. This is
