Thank you guys for holding it down yesterday. Today, though, 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 8: we're going to kind of extend the conversation because my 19 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 8: guess is you guys tucked at nauseum about that game 20 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 8: on Sunday. But I want to take the conversation a 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 8: little different problem, a little different direction and really focus 22 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 8: in on three particular problems that showed themselves this last 23 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 8: game and really have been problems that the Cowboys have 24 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 8: had throughout the season when they've lost, and talk to 25 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 8: you guys about how big those problems are and how 26 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 8: maybe the Cowboys can go about fixing them. We've got 27 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 8: some player evaluations, I got a few player names. I 28 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 8: want to throw at you guys and see how you're 29 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 8: feeling about where they are in the season and how 30 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 8: where they are after this last game. And of course 31 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 8: we got to talk about the NFC. Man, that's getting 32 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 8: really really interesting Philadelphia and the Cowboys feel like it 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 8: feels almost like nobody really wants to just take it 34 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 8: and it's going to be interesting all the way down 35 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 8: the stretch. So we'll talk about that somewhere along the 36 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 8: line as well. Let's start first, though, with those problems 37 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 8: that I mentioned, And here's what I want to do. 38 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 8: I'm going to throw out three different problems. And as 39 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 8: I throw out the problem, I need you guys to 40 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 8: tell me number one, how big is this problem for 41 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 8: the Cowboys? And number two, how you think they could 42 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 8: possibly go about solving it. Let's start first with the 43 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 8: rusty rushing defense. How big of a problem is the 44 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 8: rushing defense at this point? 45 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 9: Okay, so, for more often than not the season, the 46 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 9: Cowboys have been above sufficient and run defense. But when 47 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 9: they give up the goat, man, do they give up 48 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 9: the goat? There's no in between with them when they're 49 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 9: having a bad day. Look at Arizona for example, then 50 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 9: look back at the Buffalo Bills, look at Christian McCaffrey 51 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 9: and the forty nine ers. When the Cowboys going to 52 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 9: a game and they start struggling tackling the running back, 53 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 9: it just turns out to be a long day for them. 54 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 9: They had twelve misstackles against the Bills and James Cook 55 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 9: went absolutely off one and seventy nine yards on the 56 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 9: ground to twenty to twenty one from scrimmage. So for me, 57 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 9: it's not going to get any easier as you go 58 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 9: up against this Miami Dolphins team who has arguably more 59 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 9: talent in the backfield than what the Bills had with 60 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 9: James Cook. But it's especially with Hankins probably not playing 61 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 9: this week. 62 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 6: Either. 63 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 9: But if you can get back to tackling, just get 64 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 9: back to the fundamental of if you get your hands 65 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 9: on a guy, make sure that first man takes him 66 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 9: down and he doesn't get to that second and third level. 67 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 9: If you can get back to that, then you will 68 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 9: cut down three quarters of those big gainers and then 69 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 9: you can give you your offense a chance and you 70 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 9: know you're passing a pass rushing chance as well. 71 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 6: So for me, that's what it boils down to. 72 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 9: I mean, they're going to have a hard time, like 73 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 9: I said, without Hankins, but tackle, because missing tackles, especially 74 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 9: on the road, you end up getting run through. 75 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 10: I mean, it is a huge problem, I think, and 76 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 10: especially when you put out performances. When you keep putting 77 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 10: out performances like the one they just had against Buffalo, 78 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 10: you're showing once again the recipe for success for other 79 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 10: teams to attack you and how to attack you. We 80 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 10: know that Miami and Detroit they have the talent to run. 81 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 10: They are really good at running. So it is a 82 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 10: challenge that I don't. Don't ask me how because I 83 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 10: don't have the answer. I think I would be making 84 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 10: more money if I did and working somewhere else over the. 85 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 11: But I don't have the answer. 86 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 10: I just don't know how you fix it in such 87 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 10: a short amount of time, and in December, it's hard 88 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 10: to change things. That's very difficult to do. And one 89 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 10: big thing that will be huge is by the playoffs. 90 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 10: Jonathan Hankins is supposed supposed to return by then, so 91 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 10: hopefully that it's something that will clearly help them to 92 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 10: have a body like him and a talent like him 93 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 10: back on the lineup. 94 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 11: But I just I don't have an answer for you. 95 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 3: Oh no, it's an easy fix. Oh yeah, there's an 96 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 3: easy fix here. It's your offense. 97 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 12: Look what happens when this team scores forty points a game. 98 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 12: Nobody runs the ball on you. Your best weapon against 99 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 12: the team that wants to run the ball on you 100 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 12: is your offense. 101 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 3: Because you put people in a lot of hurt. 102 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 12: It's hard to be down thirty points in a game 103 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 12: and sit there and run the football all day. Caroline 104 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 12: did it? Carolina had some success run the ball. We 105 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 12: forgot about Carolina. They ran the ball pretty well, and 106 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 12: you misstackles and you didn't fit and you know so 107 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 12: this is kind of an ongoing problem. Okay, to your 108 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 12: bad road losses before the buy, which you've now kind 109 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 12: of adapted your offense. This looked a lot better, but 110 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 12: you saw what happens when somebody shut your offense down, Buffalo. Okay, 111 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 12: when you shut this cowboy offense down, it takes away 112 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 12: two things. It takes away Dallas's ability to rush the 113 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 12: passer because people are committed to just saying you know what, 114 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 12: you're right now you're constructed in a way because of injury. 115 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 12: You're having to find ways to play with players out 116 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 12: of place, and those guys are doing the best they can. 117 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 12: Bell is doing the best he can to play down 118 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 12: in the box. Curse is doing the best he can 119 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 12: to play down in the box. All of a sudden, 120 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 12: we've seen what Pennon pulled us to this team. Okay, 121 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 12: when they have to deal with blockers on the move 122 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 12: right at. 123 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 3: Them, it's tough. 124 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 12: When you're two hundred and twenty one pounds and you're 125 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 12: taking on three hundred and twelve pound tackles all day, 126 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 12: and guards and centers, it's not an easy task. 127 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: This team got. 128 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 12: This team lost its ability to defend the run when 129 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 12: Layton Vanderush went down, When overshown went out, that's when 130 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 12: this team, when they didn't get Shaq Lawson or she 131 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 12: was Shack Leonard, that's when this team's ability to you know, 132 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 12: we talk about Hankins all you want, but the ball. 133 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: Was run on the edge. It was the edge. 134 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 12: It was perimeter runs that killed you in that game 135 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 12: the other day. But the best defense or the best 136 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 12: way to stop this way of people running the ball 137 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 12: on you is continued to score on offense, and that's 138 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 12: what happened. Buffalo shut you down, and it took made 139 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 12: their job a lot easier when they were just committed 140 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 12: to like, okay, you're not going to stop the run 141 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 12: and you're not going to score, We could play right 142 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 12: with you. They were comfortable not throwing the ball at 143 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 12: all in that football game. You know why because Dallas 144 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 12: pass rushes the best in the league. You know, when 145 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 12: people get behind, they get a dose to that. Nobody 146 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 12: wants to deal with that in a game. Buffalo had 147 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 12: a great game plan and they executed it very well. 148 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 12: The mistackles, yeah, the lack of size and ball positions, yeah, 149 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 12: but your offense did nothing in that game. 150 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 9: And I love the point about offense, and I'll even 151 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 9: add to that and just expanded a bit. It's just 152 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 9: about scoring, period. Go back and look at Week one, 153 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 9: rainy environment in New York and the offense just couldn't 154 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 9: get going. But guess what, your defense put points on 155 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 9: the board. So to that point, it's just about however 156 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 9: you can be at offense and or defense, points have 157 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 9: to be put on the brinblet. Because de Brian's point, 158 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 9: playing from behind, that's going to give that other team 159 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 9: an opportunity to keep pushing at that run. 160 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 6: Defense, you have to take that away from them. 161 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 162 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 12: See Seattle, it got into a shootout game and defense 163 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 12: was struggling their ass off to get a stop. 164 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 3: But what did they do. 165 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 12: Dallas's offense kept playing, kept playing, kept scoring, kept playing. 166 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 3: What happened. You got three four down stops that that game. 167 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 12: That's your fix, guys, that's your fix at your offense 168 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 12: because people fear your offense, they fear your pass rush, 169 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 12: but they know that they can if they that they 170 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 12: take care of your offense, they're never going to see 171 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 12: your pass rush. 172 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's that's a good thinking outside the box a 173 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 10: little bit here, trying to find solutions because when you 174 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 10: go back to the beginning of the season, you were 175 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 10: surviving because of your defense. 176 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 11: You were there hiding a little bit. 177 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 10: Of all the issues that the offense was having because 178 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 10: of the defense. And then once the defense started getting 179 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 10: hurt players coming out. You mentioned all the guys that 180 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 10: were out and that they've struggled to that with that 181 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 10: and having to adjust. Now, that's when the offense started 182 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 10: getting their their stuff together and making it work. No, no, 183 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 10: I'm a lady. But yeah, they're making it work. But now, when, 184 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 10: like you said, when you see the offense not being 185 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 10: able to take care of business, then again, and the defense, 186 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 10: it's clearly shown with teams are run heavy. 187 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 12: What happened to, Yeah, the game and I and I 188 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 12: kind of put the I put the Arizona in San 189 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 12: Francisco game in another category before because that's before you 190 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 12: had the cross the hall meetings and fix the offense. Yeah, 191 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 12: but you know what happened in those games. Offense didn't 192 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 12: do anything against Arizona. Offense didn't do anything against San Francisco. 193 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 12: Offense didn't do anything against Buffalo. Those are your losses 194 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 12: right there. When this team, when this quarterback's playing at 195 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 12: a high level, which he has the majority of the season, 196 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 12: you know they got they got shut down. 197 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 3: The other day. 198 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 12: It couldn't get open, You couldn't complete a pass. The 199 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 12: one thing Buffalo let him do is run the ball. 200 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 12: They're like, cool, we're not giving up any big plays. Yeah, 201 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 12: let Pollard run for six seven yards of crack were okay, 202 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 12: but the game was in hand. They knew you couldn't 203 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 12: stop them, so I you know, that's that's the common 204 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 12: denominator here. To me, if the Cowboys are going to 205 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 12: have success, it's going to be on the offense because 206 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 12: the defense is wounded right now with the personnel that 207 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 12: they're having to play with. 208 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 3: And that's no disrespect to the. 209 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 12: Guys playing, but man, you were asking guys to play 210 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 12: in a in a situation that is it's tough. It's 211 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 12: tough to deal with three hundred and eighteen pound guys 212 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 12: coming at you all day when you're in the box 213 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 12: and you're trying to fight blocks and find the ball, 214 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 12: and you got to back like cook that's able to 215 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 12: look it one way and then take it back all 216 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 12: the way the other way, and. 217 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 3: You're gonna it's only gonna get worse. It's only gonna 218 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 3: get worse for that. 219 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 8: Was there anything in what San Francisco, I'm sorry what 220 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 8: Buffalo did to them defensively that can be used in 221 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 8: the future this offense. 222 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 12: Yeah, they what they did was and they we called 223 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 12: back in the day where we said clog and cover. Yeah, 224 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 12: you know, and when you when you to me, there 225 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 12: was one play where it seemed like the first shot 226 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 12: to Cooks was a play where you actually saw another 227 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 12: route effect the same to get the ball down the field. 228 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: They just missed the play. 229 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 12: Other than that, it looked very much like offense weeks 230 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 12: one through five. 231 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: Nope, it was the Cowboys. 232 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 5: What the Cowboys did not with the Bills to. 233 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 12: Me, to me the Bills. We talked about this. We 234 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 12: all on this panel believe in the metrics. We love 235 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 12: to study the numbers. Now we love to look at 236 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 12: this team was one of the worst in the league. 237 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,479 Speaker 12: When it came to separation, they. 238 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 3: Were one of the worst. 239 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 12: So what did they do to prevent separation? They played 240 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 12: zone coverage. They played five across two on the back. 241 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 12: Seven guys there, Okay, now find space. Okay, Then next 242 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 12: time we're going to play four across three in the back. 243 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 12: Find space. You know there was It was a time 244 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 12: where they threw the route, the one route they had 245 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 12: where they threw the corner route to seedy land along 246 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 12: the sidelines. There was a nice deck through it over 247 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 12: the top bone, big play like fifteen eighteen yards. On 248 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 12: that play, Tolbert's usually the guy running the clear out there. 249 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 12: That place shouldn't have been That place shouldn't even have 250 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 12: been contested. But what happened. They didn't affect the safety. 251 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 12: You know Tolbert didn't run the route far fast enough 252 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 12: to effect. We've seen routes. How about the route that 253 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 12: went to the middle of the field of ceed Lamb. 254 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 12: They rotate to two deep, two guys in the hash. 255 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 12: Dak reads it all the way. I'm gonna fit this thing. 256 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 12: But you know why because that route by Cooks is 257 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 12: going to affect Poyer. 258 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: The safety didn't affect him. He kept his eyes and 259 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 3: hips inside, didn't turn. 260 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 12: How many times have we seen the safety turn the 261 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 12: wrong way and now the ball's right behind him thirty 262 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 12: seven yard game. We've seen that all year in this game. 263 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 12: It didn't work. That didn't work, and so now that's 264 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 12: the challenge. Like, okay, were we on the screws running 265 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 12: routes in this game? You know, the Cowboys skill guys 266 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 12: do a great job of helping each other, a great 267 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 12: job of helping each other when when there's a route 268 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 12: that needs to be thrown, two guys are running a 269 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 12: route to get guys out of the way. We saw 270 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 12: a big play down in the Philadelphia game to Cooks 271 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 12: was that Lamb and Tolbert took four eagles with him 272 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 12: and it was one on one on the outside. I mean, 273 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 12: that's that's when this team is really good. When the 274 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 12: route running is good and when the quarterback has that 275 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 12: ability to find that opening, he knows where you need 276 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 12: to go with the ball, but he also has to 277 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 12: have time to throw. 278 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 3: The ball to. 279 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 8: So you say they weren't affecting the safety, affecting the DETA. 280 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 8: Is that a lot about the fact? 281 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 6: Was that? 282 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 8: Would you put it more on Buffalo through their film 283 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 8: study saying we're not we know what their tendencies are, 284 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 8: We're not going to fall for the eye can Was 285 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 8: that more of what happened, just that they weren't running 286 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 8: the right right route. 287 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 12: I think I think there was a combination of I'm 288 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 12: not gonna say not running the right route. Yeah, I 289 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 12: don't think the routes that the Cowboys were running. The 290 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 12: combinations affected the Bills in a way Bills were Bills 291 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 12: were comfortable with playing. You know, like, Okay, just sit 292 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 12: in your zone, don't don't do anything stupid, don't go 293 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 12: chasing a guy from one zone to another. And then 294 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,599 Speaker 12: Dallas is going to run a play behind it or 295 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 12: run a route behind that. 296 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 3: Because that's what Dallas will do. 297 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 12: They'll take you, they'll take you inside and all of 298 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 12: a sudden, you go chasing and you're playing zone and 299 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 12: all leaves an area in Dack's like, oh right there, 300 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 12: but are you the ball that didn't happen in this game? 301 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 12: When we watch Dallas play with Dallas is really humming 302 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 12: their Their tape is fun to watch because you see 303 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,359 Speaker 12: all the combinations, say that offense that we saw in Buffalo, 304 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 12: very much like weeks one through five. 305 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 9: And also to that point, for whatever reason, the pre 306 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 9: snat motion got turned down against the Bills. When you 307 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 9: look at the trend that the Cowboys have been on 308 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 9: the past several weeks, I mean they've been doing pre snatboy, 309 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 9: they've really leaned into sixty and now forty percent. So 310 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 9: that goes to the prestat motion, goes to the ability 311 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 9: of you know, redirecting and getting guys thinking on defense. 312 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 9: And that's why you've been so successful in getting guys 313 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 9: like Seeding Lamb on the heater that he was on 314 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 9: over the past several weeks, getting Dak Prescott going with 315 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 9: these these this offense, Jake Fergus and Brandon Cooks for example, 316 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 9: some of these other guys, but in not doing the 317 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 9: pre snat motion makes the offense a little bit less 318 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 9: difficult to defend because whatever you're looking at more than 319 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 9: half the time against the Bills, whatever they were looking at, that's. 320 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 6: What it was. 321 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 9: Once the ball was snapped, you got to get these 322 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 9: guys moving around. And the Cowboys have shown that they 323 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 9: can be a dominant offense more often than not when 324 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 9: they use pre snap motion to a greater altitude than 325 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 9: what they were doing against the Bills. So for whatever reason, 326 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 9: and you know, there's context around it when you start 327 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 9: talking about the situations and that situational football, but for 328 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 9: the most part, I'm kind of hard pressed to just 329 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 9: sit back and look at this and say, you know, 330 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 9: come to a determination as to why they chose to 331 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 9: turn down the pre stat motion, especially in the game. 332 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 12: Well, it might have been because of the zone, because it's 333 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 12: such a zone heavy team that motion. Mike said this, 334 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 12: Mike said this before. I don't run motion just to 335 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 12: run motion. It has to have a purpose to it. 336 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 12: And maybe he's getting so much zone that he's thinking like, well, 337 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 12: if I motion this, and and I'm with you, Patrick, 338 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 12: I'm with you about the motion stuff, but I'm also thinking, 339 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 12: like maybe what McCarthy would say, I'm getting such a 340 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 12: zone heavy look, that motion is not going to affect 341 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 12: a team that's playing zone coverage ninety percent of the time. 342 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 3: You know that. 343 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 12: He's like, well, if I'm moving, what am I moving for? 344 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 12: You know, now, maybe you can move it in order 345 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 12: to get to your bunch formations and get four on 346 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 12: one side and attack and flood zones and stuff like that. 347 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 12: But they made a determination that moving in this game 348 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 12: was not going to affect Buffalo because Buffalo was going 349 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 12: to sit there. How many plays did Buffalo make where 350 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 12: your receiver had to be a defensive back in that game? 351 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 12: That's that's the thing that that's what's disturbing to me that, like, man, 352 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 12: that just wasn't That wasn't a good game for the 353 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 12: play caller. I don't think it was particularly good for 354 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 12: the quarterback, the receivers, anybody that was on the offensive 355 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 12: side of the ball, really the whole team. But to 356 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 12: your point, we started this whole conversation. In my opinion, 357 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 12: the best way to help this defense is be great 358 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 12: on offense, because you can't do enough right now making 359 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 12: teams one dimensional, where one dimensional turns into throwing the ball, 360 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 12: that's your defensive strength. 361 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 5: And I agree with you wholeheartedly. 362 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 8: And it is amazing to see how far we can 363 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 8: come in such a short period of time. Because back 364 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 8: during training camp, I think we all agreed the defense 365 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 8: was the best thing this team done. 366 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 12: The injuries have robbed completely changed Diggs being out. 367 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 3: Hook or not playing the other day. 368 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 12: I mean, there's a lot of things that went into 369 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 12: that game the other day that that overshown. I mean, 370 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 12: I'm watching over shown play a game, the last game 371 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 12: of the year, and we're all watching the game. He's 372 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 12: played six plays, he's got three tackles. How do you 373 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 12: not tell me that doesn't translate into Okay, we got 374 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 12: an idea for this guy. Yeah, you know, all of 375 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 12: a sudden and now and then you lose, you know, 376 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 12: and say what you want about Shackler, Say whatever you 377 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 12: want about that. That could have helped that something. Just 378 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 12: having a veteran that knows how to play a little right. 379 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 12: He might not be able to cover worth of damn, 380 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 12: but my god, the guy could play some run defense. 381 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 5: All right, we're gonna take our first break when we 382 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 5: come back. 383 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 8: We're gonna jump into these other problems to see if 384 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 8: we can give you some solutions as good as that. 385 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, I move me much. 386 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 5: This is das Cowboys that come radio. 387 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 13: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 388 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 13: cheatah Savannah.

He's one 476 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 10: of my favorite players, and you have and he has 477 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 10: a lot of power, but to come in, but that's 478 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 10: my quarterback. 479 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 11: Get out of here. 480 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 10: But things like that that you you know better, you 481 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 10: know better, and there's no reason why this should be 482 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 10: such a reoccurring issue week after week. 483 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 9: All right, So it's it's twofold because one again, I mean, 484 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 9: we could talk about the quality or lack there of 485 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 9: in the NFL officiating. It is atrocious. But I'm not 486 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 9: going to get on that soap box. Fine, yeah, don't 487 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 9: don't make member. 488 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 2: You work for this team, don't don't have to answer to. 489 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 8: That, I'll say, Patrick right over there, go get his 490 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 8: checked out. Ye at least at least wait until after 491 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 8: the holiday. 492 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can get away with this Afterliday. 493 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 8: But no, I'm literally type in texta Brian like, get 494 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 8: off the official. 495 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 5: Yah. 496 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 9: I'm not going to get on that soap box. I 497 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 9: did that a couple weeks or so ago. So I 498 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 9: mean that's on record. So let's focus on what's controllable. 499 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 9: And what's controllable is you know, you look at the 500 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 9: penalty against Jayron Curs. 501 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 6: It shouldn't have happened. 502 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 9: But if you look at the penalty on Tank for example, 503 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 9: yes that was Tiki tak, Yes, Josh Allen flop. But 504 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 9: Tank be a little bit smarter there, don't. Don't get 505 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 9: into him and then extend your arms and give him 506 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 9: an opportunity to flop. They were driving down the field 507 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 9: on that first drive, they get down deep and then 508 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 9: guess what you hold them on on third and four 509 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 9: and then you give them that right, So penalties three 510 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 9: personal files. You award them eighteen of their first twenty 511 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 9: one points. You're down twenty one to three. And then 512 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 9: on your first offensive drive, you're moving down the field. 513 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 9: No you didn't connect on Brandon Cooks, but you didn't 514 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 9: let that defeat you. You get on their side of 515 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 9: the field and then holding on tip Do Smith and 516 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 9: then that moves to a third and fourteen and then 517 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 9: they pin their ears back. Your offensive line was already struggling, 518 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 9: and then they sacked Dak Prescott. 519 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 6: You get nothing on that drive. That's a punt. 520 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 9: So you look no further than the Bills game to 521 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 9: see just how problematic penalties can be. Now, what I 522 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 9: will say, though, is not obviously not all penalties are 523 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 9: created equal it's timing and it's type. That's how I 524 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 9: break down penalties, type of penalty and the timing in 525 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 9: which the penalty happens. You get a personal file when 526 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 9: you're up forty points, no one cares, it doesn't matter. 527 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 9: You get a personal foul when you know they're punting 528 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 9: the ball and you run into the kicker, that's a 529 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 9: big deal. And on the road, so forth and so on. 530 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 9: So it's just it's a discipline thing for the ones 531 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 9: that you can control, and that's why they can be 532 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 9: so infuriating, because when you know they know better and 533 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 9: they still don't do better, that can be aggravating. So 534 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 9: it's it's an easy fix in that. Don't put the 535 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 9: game in the officials hands. Because they're going to make 536 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 9: bad CAUs at some point in the game. Don't compile 537 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 9: that by giving them an opportunity to make calls against 538 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 9: you when you probably later in the game you're probably 539 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 9: gonna get or you're not going to get, or you 540 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 9: might get it rough in the passer for whatever the 541 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 9: case may be. And it might be completely bogus, but 542 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 9: what if you actually gave them. 543 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 6: An opportunity to justify that cause? 544 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 9: Just don't give an opportunity to justify the bad calls 545 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 9: are going to happen. Don't make don't give them good 546 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 9: calls on top of the bad calls. That's what's frustrated 547 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 9: about it. 548 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 12: Never worked for or covered a team that gets more 549 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 12: penalties on third down than this crew and killer ones, 550 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 12: killer penalties where you get off the field. 551 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 6: You know, and you know that. 552 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 12: I think they've done a better job with the alignment penalties. 553 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 12: That's been a lot of problems they've had, you know, 554 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 12: lining up off sides, those kind of things. 555 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 3: Uh, but there is there's no fix for this. 556 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 12: And I think McCarthy does a good job of talking 557 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 12: about the officials. I know they study the officials. I 558 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 12: know they go over what calls officials make. It's a 559 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 12: segment I do every Friday on one O five to 560 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 12: three the fan and I do it in a pregame show, 561 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 12: talking about because you got to know, you've got to 562 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 12: know that these guys called delay a game penalties. Can 563 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,479 Speaker 12: you take the clock down to it? Are they're going 564 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 12: to call a lot of holding penalties? Are they gonna 565 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 12: let the are they going to let you play? You know, 566 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 12: you've got to know these things going into this game. 567 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 12: But I think the thing that that bothers me the 568 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 12: most or those third down penalties where you just you know, 569 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 12: you have your you're off the field and now you 570 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 12: get a defensive holding on the other side of the field, 571 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 12: or you get a hands to the face, or you 572 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 12: get a roughing the passer penalty. You know, those are 573 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 12: the ones to me that are killer, the holding penalties 574 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 12: and stuff. I understand it's tough blocking in the National 575 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 12: Football League. They're really good athletes on the other side 576 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 12: of the defense. You know, it's unfortunate, though, that your 577 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,959 Speaker 12: best player on defense doesn't get calls. 578 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 3: He doesn't get calls. 579 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 5: He really doesn't get Now up to thirty three, yeah, 580 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 5: he orders that he. 581 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 12: Has had one since the Chargers games. Yeah, there's no way, 582 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 12: and and there, and there was, you know. And they 583 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 12: even put him in the middle in the Buffalo game 584 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 12: and he draws a call where he's basically it's like 585 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 12: a rodeo move the center. Morse has got his arms 586 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 12: around his neck like he's doing my bulldog technique. But 587 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 12: you know that that's you just got to keep playing. 588 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 12: But I don't think there's a fix for this, because 589 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 12: they talk about it all the time, and it's they 590 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 12: talk about. 591 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 3: Discipline and all that. 592 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,479 Speaker 12: You just hope it's not gonna be one of these 593 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 12: penalties that kills them in a game. Like all of 594 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 12: a sudden, you're in a tight game and then you 595 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 12: get the running into the kicker yeah, or something like that, 596 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 12: and now the game is completely flipped. 597 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 10: Can we make banners and be like, okay, every third down, 598 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 10: key moments, be. 599 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 11: Careful, no penalty discipline. 600 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 10: Like everybody just reminder, Okay, this moment is not the Yeah, 601 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 10: no penalties. No. 602 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 12: I just don't I just don't see it changing. And 603 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 12: but I hope it doesn't happen where it kills you 604 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 12: in a game and you lose a game because of 605 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 12: you did something stupid. I mean, we saw what uh 606 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 12: I mean, I don't mean stupid in a I'm not 607 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,239 Speaker 12: trying to be mean, but we saw Tolbert line up 608 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 12: in Green Bay off sides. 609 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 3: You're lining up off side? 610 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 4: Why? 611 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 12: And we saw it in Kansas City the other day 612 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 12: in the game they were in they're gonna win the 613 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 12: game and they line up off side. 614 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 8: You literally have someone there who will tell you if 615 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 8: you're okay or yeah. 616 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 3: You just have to have the discipline and I know 617 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 3: it's not gonna change. 618 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 9: And Philly, you know, not man downfield because he didn't 619 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 9: declare those types of that's just not mental area. 620 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 8: And that's that's my biggest challenge. And even in this 621 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 8: last game, and you you highlighted the ones that I 622 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 8: was thinking about, but it's the ones where it's like 623 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 8: that didn't have to be a penalty, like you just 624 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 8: da I mean, I'm sorry, a tank just pull up 625 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 8: like it's okay, he got rid of the Boston. 626 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 5: You don't have to, Zach. You don't have approval point here. 627 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 8: Like you might go over there and you might run 628 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 8: over there, and you might say some things, and you 629 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 8: can call him everything from here to whatever, but don't 630 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 8: hit him because the moment you hit him, now you've 631 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,479 Speaker 8: allowed them to get fifteen yards and you don't need to. 632 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 12: But but I remember a game against where Andy Dalton 633 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 12: got lit up and nobody went to his defense and 634 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 12: their offensive line got called out from that they did. 635 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 8: And but again I go back to he can run 636 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 8: over there, he can jump in the guy's face, don't 637 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 8: butt him because the moment you touch, the moment there's contact. 638 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 8: Because I guarantee you this, I'll say this. There's a 639 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 8: bunch of calls that players don't like from referees. 640 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 5: You ever see one hit a referee? 641 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 8: They don't And the reason why is because they know, 642 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 8: because they know they're they have control, because they know 643 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,239 Speaker 8: the penalty is going to be severe, right, and they 644 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 8: don't have severe penalty. Right. So that's that's my point, 645 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 8: Like you have enough control to say, I can I 646 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 8: can make my point. I can get over there and 647 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 8: I can get in his face and I can let 648 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 8: him know like whatever you need to tell him, like 649 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 8: whatever you use your imagining, whatever you want to tell him. 650 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 8: But the moment you bump him is the moment you 651 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 8: now have stepped into giving them yards that you just 652 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 8: don't have to give away. 653 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 3: There's some sports where you can get away. 654 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 12: Yes, okay, last night, I'm gonna Dallas Stars yet Seattle 655 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 12: Krakens in town and they they take a run at Wedgwood. 656 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 3: The goalie, he catches. 657 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 12: The puck, he's hold it. They take a run, guy 658 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 12: runs over. All of a sudden, that guy that ran 659 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 12: into Wedgwood goes to the corner and now all these 660 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 12: green jerseys are just and the officials like, who do 661 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 12: he send off the guy who ran into the goalie. 662 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 12: That's the sport where they let they will let you, 663 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 12: they will let you. 664 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 3: Defend anybody that you take you take a run at. 665 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 6: Yeah. 666 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, so I'm and I and then quite frankly, I 667 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 8: think it a sport like football. I would I would 668 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 8: approach it the same way if I was the person 669 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 8: making the league rules around that kind of show a 670 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 8: little bit more would I would allow that kind of 671 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 8: stuff a little bit more? 672 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 3: Did it? 673 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 8: For a while they used to have back in the day, though, 674 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 8: the horns and those kind they were regulators on the 675 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 8: court like it. They took care of that kind of 676 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 8: stuff on the court. It's just that that, for whatever reason, 677 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 8: the NFL just doesn't have an appetite for that, And 678 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 8: the players have to know the NFL doesn't have the 679 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 8: appetite for that, So don't invite it. 680 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 5: You can't invited. 681 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 6: That's my point. 682 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 9: I mean, bad calls are going to happen as far 683 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 9: as officiating, you can't control those, But the ones you 684 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 9: can't control, like those, just don't don't let that be 685 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 9: one of the reasons that you lose the game. 686 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 10: They just nothing crazy happened, Like no, I agree, no, no, 687 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 10: what I'm saying, like right before, when for Zach to 688 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 10: do that, it wasn't like a crazy because what exactly 689 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 10: happened to that, Like, it wasn't anything we've seen worse. 690 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 10: We've seen worse of like interactions, and it wasn't actually. 691 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 8: Think you missed him my personally, Like it looked like 692 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 8: he kind of went over deck and he hit him. 693 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 11: But I don't missed them. So it's I don't know, 694 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 11: but it's yeah. 695 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 12: Run out of guy. That's for the whole thing about 696 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 12: it is just taking a run. But what you lost 697 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 12: was the fifteen yards. 698 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 3: Yep, that's what you lost. He lost fifteen yards. 699 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 5: That would have had you in their territory. 700 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 8: And the next play you actually got the fifteen yards 701 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 8: on the next play, but imagine that if you had 702 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 8: already been at the forty three and then you get fifteen. 703 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 5: Now where field goal range. 704 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 8: We're really cooking right as opposed to that, that drive 705 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 8: ends up stalling and you get no points. 706 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 6: Out of type and time and type in time. 707 00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,719 Speaker 5: All right, let's take our final break.

It's something that let me be clear. 790 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 8: Is it that you're three and four on the road 791 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 8: because you're three and four on. 792 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 5: The road, like the road has something to do with that? 793 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 8: Or is it that the three teams that you've lost 794 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 8: to that were really good happened to be on the 795 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 8: road and you may have lost those games at home 796 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 8: as well. 797 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,720 Speaker 9: For me, it's see all of the above because obviously 798 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 9: when you're playing on the road, you don't have the 799 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 9: benefit of you're playing in front of your crowd and 800 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 9: a controlled environment in the dome. You don't have wind, 801 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 9: you don't have this to account for. You get to 802 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 9: sleep in your sleep number bid at home, and you 803 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 9: don't have the right you don't have that added aspect 804 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 9: of what part of the country you're traveling. 805 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 12: To exactly right, so you get up that lace acquire 806 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 12: at it. 807 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 9: I think we can do right, that's me next next 808 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,240 Speaker 9: year place. But yeah, you don't have the added aspect 809 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 9: of travel. Are you, you know, having to go to 810 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 9: Buffalo then come back home and go to Miami. Do 811 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 9: you have to go to the West Coast and lose time, 812 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 9: et cetera, et cetera. So, I mean all of those 813 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 9: are very real factors that and that's why playing on 814 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 9: the road is always going to be more difficult in 815 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 9: any sport, not just the NFL. You're going to typically 816 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 9: play better at home. But it also goes to what 817 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 9: we're talking about. When you're on the road, you have 818 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 9: to play more mistake free football. You can't you know, 819 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 9: have self inflicted wounds with penalties, that's just going to 820 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 9: worsen the situation. So being that the type and timing 821 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,879 Speaker 9: of the penalties that are happening on the road seem 822 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 9: to be worse than when they're happening at home, it 823 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 9: just makes you wonder if the mentality is as sharp 824 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 9: on the road as it is at home, And right 825 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 9: now I would have to say the answer is no. 826 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 9: And if we're talking about mentality of playing on the road, 827 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 9: that combined with three and four is very concerning for 828 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 9: me because let's assume you don't get the number two 829 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,439 Speaker 9: seed or the number one seed. Your road to going 830 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 9: to the NFC Championship and then the Super Bowl, it's 831 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 9: on the road. Quite literally, in the Super Bowl. I 832 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 9: mentioned it yesterday with Ambar hosting. The Super Bowl is 833 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 9: not played at the AT and T Stadium, that's guess where. 834 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 9: That's in Las Vegas. That's on the road as well. 835 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 9: So even if you get to the Promised Land and 836 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 9: you get an opportunity to end this drought, even that's 837 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 9: not at home. So for me, it's a mentality thing. 838 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 9: They need to play sharper football and they need to 839 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 9: get better at understanding, especially offense because the offense tends 840 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,879 Speaker 9: to turn down on the road. They need to get 841 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 9: better on offense. They need to play more mistake free football, 842 00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 9: and then the rest will kind of handle it. 843 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 12: So the Legends actually does the hospitality and stuff in Vegas. 844 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 3: So I think we'll have a home game. 845 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 12: A piece of home. Got a little piece of home there. 846 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 12: This comes down to communication. The problem with is when 847 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 12: you play it, when you play on the road. Communication 848 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 12: for your offense, when you watch them play at home, 849 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 12: we always see this. Here we go, we hear it, 850 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 12: we see it. The communication is better. The Buffalo game, 851 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 12: you're watching frantically Dak smashing his foot against the ground 852 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 12: trying to get the ball. All of a sudden it 853 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 12: turns into you don't see. 854 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 3: That at home. 855 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 12: You don't see violence of trying to get the ball 856 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,919 Speaker 12: and get the thing snapped. You know, you don't see 857 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 12: the panic, and it's panic because you're trying to read. 858 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 12: You're trying to get the ball. You know these officials 859 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 12: are going to call it delay a game on you. 860 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 12: It's going to cost you five yards, you might have 861 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 12: to burn a time out. Communication at home for the 862 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 12: Cowboys is elite. On the road, it wanes a little 863 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 12: bit it wanes and all of a sudden, things that 864 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 12: you think are clear and are taken care of on 865 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:08,720 Speaker 12: the road aren't. 866 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 3: What happened. They run a twist stunt the other day, 867 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 3: they give up a sack, they man the stunt. I've 868 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 3: seen him do that. 869 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 12: I haven't seen the Smith's man of stunt like that 870 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 12: and get twisted and get a sack on him like that. 871 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 12: Hadn't seen that at home, saw it on the road. 872 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 12: Maybe they didn't get to Maybe they tried to man 873 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,839 Speaker 12: the stunt, thinking, oh, I'm trying to yell. I'm trying 874 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 12: to tell you, you know, we're gonna twist it, twist 875 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 12: and tweet. Know I'm trying to you don't hear it. 876 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 12: They have problems, I believe, on the road with communication. 877 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 12: And I'm not saying it's it's one of those things 878 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 12: where it's where Dak struggles to get the snap off 879 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 12: all the time. I'm just saying I don't think is 880 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 12: as clean, and I think that's the issue because they 881 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 12: at home they run like a as they say, a 882 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 12: well roll machine and there's no problems. We all hear it. 883 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 12: Here we go and they boom, they go play football. 884 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 12: Here it on the road, it's a little bit different. 885 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 12: And I think it happens on the offense, and I 886 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 12: think it happens on the defense too. 887 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 10: Uh well, positive Amber, Let's look at the price, yeah, 888 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 10: wonder mean what wonder mean? 889 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 9: What? 890 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 11: Let's look at the bride side. 891 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 10: Okay, after this team had their come to Jesus moment 892 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 10: after the loss against the forty nine ers, which is 893 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,839 Speaker 10: that's my I don't look anything before that because they 894 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 10: became a different team after that. They won against the 895 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 10: Chargers twenty seventeen. They lost against the Eagles twenty eight, 896 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 10: twenty three, was very very close game, very competitive, and 897 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 10: then they beat the Panthers thirty three ten, and then 898 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,760 Speaker 10: against Buffalo this was pretty bad. 899 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 11: So where I'm trying to. 900 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 10: Get at, if you look at just this window, it's 901 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,760 Speaker 10: not as bad as it seems. Yes, they're the points 902 00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 10: that they do score drops down ups down quite significantly. 903 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 10: I can't even talk than the ones they do score 904 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 10: at home. Very different there, but they're still playing competitive. 905 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 10: What I was lacking in this game against the Bills 906 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 10: is they just simply did not show up whatsoever. Right 907 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 10: off the bat. 908 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 11: There was no. 909 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 10: Fire in them like, which is not very typical of them. 910 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 10: Do you see them going out there after in this 911 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 10: span after the forty nine ers, And they've been a 912 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 10: pretty competitive team even when they've lost, they they're they're competing. 913 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 10: And so I'm trying to look at this game against 914 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 10: the Bills just hopefully that was just that one time. 915 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 10: Well I say that, and I'm lying because I think 916 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 10: I might pick Miami to win this weekend. 917 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 11: I don't know. Now, Oh my god, this is wherey 918 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,879 Speaker 11: this is the thing. There's so many things. 919 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, that happened in my head at once because I 920 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 10: feel that way. And then we and we were talking 921 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 10: about this Patrick about like they usually bounced. 922 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 18: Back, like they don't lose so well, that game meant 923 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 18: a lot though to them, that Buffalo game and a lot. 924 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 18: It meant a lot to Buffalo, but it meant it 925 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 18: meant a lot. I think a lot more to you 926 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 18: because you know what your path is. You know, there 927 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 18: was a time whether the Jason Garrett administration where they 928 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 18: would never lose on the road. 929 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 3: They couldn't win at home. 930 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 12: Remember for a while they're at and T Stadium was 931 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 12: not a home field advantage for the Dallas Cowboys. 932 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 3: Going on the road. 933 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 12: It was, and we asked the same questions, Well, what's 934 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,760 Speaker 12: the prom playing at home? 935 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 3: You know what? You know? So this team is it's funny. 936 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,240 Speaker 3: It's it's throughout. 937 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 12: It's the last say, you know, ten twelve years, it's 938 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 12: been that way of like you've either played exceptionally well 939 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 12: on the road or you played exceptionally well now at home. 940 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 12: It's it's it's funny. They haven't been able to kind 941 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 12: of put that together. 942 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 10: I have a quick question for you guys, and you 943 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 10: look at the time.

I'm just saying 951 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:20,439 Speaker 11: it's hard. 952 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 9: But they was just right ahead the kickoff, they're doing 953 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 9: warm ups and everything, and I mean, I'm just. 954 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 10: Saying, I'm putting it out there. Do you I mean 955 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 10: they say what they say, it wasn't. 956 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 8: Clear even if they hadn't clinched before that game, they 957 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 8: I mean, every all of us knew this is a 958 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 8: playoff team. They're going to the playoffs. I don't I 959 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 8: don't think anything was revealed. They clinched it, but we 960 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 8: all knew they were going to the playoffs. And and 961 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 8: I I go back to what used to say, Brian, 962 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 8: All the time, desperate team wins, the more desperate team wins. Buffalo, 963 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 8: that was a playoff game. Right now, they're sitting outside 964 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 8: of the playoffs looking in. So every game for them 965 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 8: at this point is a playoff game. 966 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:56,800 Speaker 3: Everything. 967 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 8: They gotta win them all, probably to get into the 968 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 8: playoffs they got. They certainly don't have any room for era. 969 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 8: Dallas is not in the same boat. And so I 970 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 8: know what you're saying, Brian, this game should have been 971 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 8: important to Dallas. I don't think Dallas was as desperate 972 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 8: as Buffalo, you know, but. 973 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 3: If you're, if you know that you're so much better 974 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 3: at home. 975 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,839 Speaker 12: Anything to secure a home game to start this thing 976 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,839 Speaker 12: and to maybe give you a chance to maybe get 977 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 12: a couple of home games. That that's Dallas's recipe for 978 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 12: getting to the super Bowl. 979 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,880 Speaker 3: Right there. If you told me Dallas is give me 980 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 3: Dallas's recipe. Play great offense and get home games. That's 981 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 3: the recipe. 982 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 5: That's two of our three problems exactly. 983 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,279 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying to me. 984 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 12: I there there has to be desperation of wanting to 985 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,799 Speaker 12: win this division, you know. 986 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 3: And and they didn't have it the other day. They 987 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 3: really didn't. 988 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 6: Just two different teams right now. 989 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 9: One one version of the Cowboys are at home and 990 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,240 Speaker 9: the other version, which is uh, you know significant minte. 991 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 6: Uh what was that having fun? It's a different it's 992 00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 6: a different team, all right, it's a different team. 993 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,359 Speaker 5: Before you in the show, give us a lap coat? 994 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,840 Speaker 5: What you got, bring me in? 995 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 6: Beamer. 996 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 8: He was not ready to hear him over that, streaming like, 997 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 8: oh man, Beamers already Beamers on Christmas? 998 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 5: Yes, science, there you go. 999 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 3: I got two. 1000 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 9: Okay, to twenty one this is not a fun number 1001 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 9: for the Cowboys or Cowboys fans. To twenty one Cook 1002 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 9: he ran for two hundred twenty four. Well, he had 1003 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 9: two hundred and twenty one yards from scrimmage, one hundred 1004 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 9: and seventy nine of that was rushing and two touchdowns 1005 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 9: against the Cowboys. That is the most from scrimmage allowed 1006 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,919 Speaker 9: by the Cowboys since Todd Gurley did it in Week 1007 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,359 Speaker 9: four of twenty seventeen. The Cowboys lost that game as well. 1008 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,800 Speaker 9: Guess what it was over thirty points allowed, No surprise. 1009 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 9: But here's the positive and this what we have to 1010 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 9: try to take away from it. Hopefully the Cowboys can 1011 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,919 Speaker 9: show some resiliency. They allowed two hundred and twenty two 1012 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 9: total to the Arizona Cardinals. Following game, they allowed only 1013 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 9: fifty three yards they won their game. They allowed one 1014 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:54,879 Speaker 9: hundred seventy on the versus home. 1015 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 6: I'm sorry that was the Patriots. I hear are fair enough. 1016 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:00,760 Speaker 2: He couldn't get it going that day. 1017 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 6: They couldn't get it go on another day. 1018 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 9: One hundred and seventy year tigh ground allowed to the 1019 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 9: forty nine Ers. Bounce back against the Chargers in Los Angeles, 1020 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 9: allowed only fifty three yards and a touchdown to a 1021 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 9: pre broken Austin Eckler. Okay, that was before Eckler was broken, 1022 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,240 Speaker 9: and then you talked about it. The Cowboys have shown 1023 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 9: that they can bounce back and not lose two games 1024 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,320 Speaker 9: in a row. They have a daunting, daunting task improving 1025 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 9: that again against the Dolphins. But yeah, two hundred and 1026 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,719 Speaker 9: twenty one Cowboys need to use that as few to 1027 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,760 Speaker 9: never let that happen again this season yeah. 1028 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 5: This will be the tough way. 1029 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 10: I was just gonna says, funny, how we're holding onto 1030 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 10: that stat that they don't lose. 1031 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 9: T it's because it continues to prove true. Unteah, it doesn't. 1032 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 9: It's actually, though, very very impressive stat like because look 1033 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 9: at the Eagles for example, right, they got decimated by 1034 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,360 Speaker 9: the forty nine ers, and everybody was, well, not everybody, 1035 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 9: but most people were like, oh, well. 1036 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 6: They will bounce back, especially against the Cowboys. 1037 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 9: They got obliterated, and it's like, oh, well, they're not 1038 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,760 Speaker 9: going to lose three in a row, especially to Drew. 1039 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,959 Speaker 9: Oh so not losing two in a row stretching back 1040 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 9: to you know, late twenty twenty one, that's actually a 1041 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 9: huge accomplishment. 1042 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 8: The interesting thing will be and I have to go 1043 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,720 Speaker 8: back and look, is this the best opponent they've paid 1044 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:10,800 Speaker 8: faced coming off. 1045 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:11,160 Speaker 5: Of a loss? 1046 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 8: Because this is a really, really good Miami team, And 1047 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 8: as I kind of threw up there with New England, 1048 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 8: like New England beating them off a loss was one thing. 1049 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,719 Speaker 8: Going to Miami and beating them off a loss that's 1050 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,799 Speaker 8: a whole different ball game. And so this is gonna 1051 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,239 Speaker 8: be an interesting one. I'm gonna go back and look 1052 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 8: at that just for you know, just for GrITT yes, 1053 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,439 Speaker 8: to see if this is the best team that they've 1054 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,399 Speaker 8: played coming off of a loss. 1055 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 9: Miami also doesn't play well against teams above five hundred. 1056 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 5: So have they had many of those? I don't think 1057 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:39,359 Speaker 5: they've had many they've had. 1058 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 9: It's similar to what the Cowboys. Yeah, so that's really 1059 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 9: don't know. Yeah, yeah, that narrative that's carried with the Cowboys, 1060 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,279 Speaker 9: It's been true of Miami, just not as as pointed at. 1061 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,319 Speaker 8: They did lose to those Eagles, right, I'm pretty sure 1062 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 8: they lost the Eagles. 1063 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 3: They did. 1064 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,359 Speaker 6: They did. Yeah, So all right. 1065 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 5: I appreciate you guys. 1066 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 8: Jones'll be back tomorrow.
