WEBVTT - Player's Lounge: How Do You Explain This? 0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:06.720 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:16.560 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the Player's 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:21.880 Lane broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star. 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:27.520 Now your hosts, Barry Church, Danny McCray, and Newey Scrugs. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.120 It is a Monday right here are the players, lads 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.640 who appreciate you tun players Louns. Brought to you by 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.760 Hotels dot Com. Newi Scrugs, longtime Cowboys reported joined by 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.880 two former Dallas Cowboys safeties, Barry Church and Danny McCray. 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.600 All three of us predicted a Dallas Cowboys win over 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.120 the Cleveland Browns, and all three of us were wrong 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:56.520 because the Cleveland Browns came in to North Texas and 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:02.920 lead it on the Cowboys to thes of almost fifty points. 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:08.120 Gentlemen o the world. Do you explain this? Uh? Danny, 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:09.959 I'm just gonna see the floor to you, my man. 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.000 You go ahead look check this out. If you see 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.200 my outfit, newly man, I got all black man, it's 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.759 it's it's a funeral going off of the Cowboys right now. 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.800 It's just it's really ugly. And I'll tell you this 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.560 for the rest of the season, I will no longer 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.400 be doing my picks based on emotion and how much 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.520 I love the Cowboys since I played for him. I'm 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.039 going with the rational choice. And they might not get 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:37.480 picked to win another game this season, and you'll and 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.360 you'll be picking him this week. You'll pick them, well, 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:46.080 not absolutely pick them against and the hapless Giants. That 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.560 the first of all, let's not act like we that 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.560 Cowboys can be like, yeah, we for sure gonna win 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.920 any game, it don't matter who is against. All right, 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.400 that the Giants play played like they played, but we 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.640 don't play much better, so it's not like it's an 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.400 easy pick. So yeah, I'm not sure if I'm gonna 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.680 pick the Cowboys this week against j G, especially since 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.040 I know he has an extra grind and the point 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.480 to prove a Look, if you go on with the Giants, 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.799 I'm definitely betting you on that one because this Giants 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.280 is terrible. But anyway, back to these Cowboys, man, I 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:20.520 mean this this this was embarrassing. Man, This was embarrassing. Man. 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.359 This was a this was like a manhood game, but 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.400 they just they just got it taken away from him. 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.239 I mean it was as in the words of Marinelli, 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.080 who's probably laughing right now. I mean, it was man 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.079 on man, bone on bone football, and it was just 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.680 embarrassing what they did to our front seven. I mean, 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:42.360 there was times when the Cleveland Brown's offensive line would 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.360 push these guys so far back the running back wouldn't 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.320 even get touched within the first seven yards of his run. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.680 And that's just unbelievable. And when you got I mean 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.840 we'll break this down even further, but when you got 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.560 their third running back on the depth chart. I don't 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.720 even know the guy's name. I just called him number thirty. 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.600 He would when that you got the third running back 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.680 on your depth chart going for I think he had 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.480 thirteen carries for ninety five yards, averaging what seven point 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.120 three a rush. I mean, this is crazy. They just 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.079 grabbed this guy off of the street. He was probably 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.960 working at McDonald's. They said, hey, you want to run 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.919 the ball against Dallas next the other this week, Yeah, 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.959 let me see what I can do. And he went 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.600 out there and toted that thing. I mean, it was 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:25.000 once again another display of terrible tackling out there. I 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:29.040 mean I called for Darren Thompson to get pulled. He 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.360 got pulled the young the young safety Wilson came in there, 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.560 and he looked just as bad. I mean he was 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.480 out there missing tackles left and right, and I mean, 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.240 I just I can't even get started on his linebacking 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.120 corps Joe Thomas. He did fly around. He was the 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.520 only one that kind of looked like he was worth 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.800 something out there. I mean, it was just embarrassing overall. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.880 And man, that don't even get me started on a 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.160 twenty million dollars man. I mean, this is go ahead, 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:59.080 NEWI this is ridiculous. Well, since you mentioned the twenty 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:03.520 million dollars man, Tank Lawrence. He spoke to the media afterwards, 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:09.000 and here is Tank summing up the performance as the 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:14.120 Dallas Cowboys defense gave up three hundred and seven yards 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:18.000 of rushing to the Cleveland Browns, who had their top 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.360 running back Nick Chubb injured in the first half. Here's 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:25.920 Tank in my own words, I'll call it Solf. We 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.719 gotta hold ourselves to a higher standard. Um. We got 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.360 to play together as one UM, and I don't feel 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:36.120 like we're holding ourselves accountable, including myself. So uh, I'll 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.880 call itself and we'll get better from it. In my 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:53.280 own work, like that yes, yes, we had to cover 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:57.200 up the cursing. So so, guys, here's here's my thing. 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.040 I feel as though I and hearing the same player 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:07.200 press conferences that I heard last year. We gotta be 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:11.400 better risk miscommunications, hold each other accountable, not meeting the standard. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.560 Am I wrong when I say I feel like I'm 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.120 hearing the same tune? It's different code now all the 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:22.680 players it's the same old stuff, same old thing, just 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.839 a different thing. If if we get if we get listen, 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.160 we would we would just ex this out. If we 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.680 just start SHO, can we get the play of with 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.120 Odell's last play where the game is on the line. 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.320 Can we just put that on the loop? And I 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:42.560 want everybody to see how many people loaf and job 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.119 and give up on the play on the most important drive. 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.320 When your office has brought you back into the game. 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.520 You you won't believe it. I know some people have 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.600 broken it down, but they didn't point out every single 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.160 player that did something that looked outrageous and like they 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.560 should not be playing in NFL. It is. It is 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.240 something that you probably will never see again. And this 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.200 type of stuff did not happen when Mary Nelly was here. 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.920 Because he coached effort and you would not get away 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.480 with loafing like this. If there was one thing Marion 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.800 Nelly did, he had his guys playing hard and balls 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.560 to the wall. And that is something that you are 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.839 not seen on the field right now. That's minus scheme, 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:25.400 that's minus your ability. It takes no talent to hustle 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:30.080 and give effort, and we ain't doing it. We ain't 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.839 doing it at all. And to this point it comes 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.000 down to I mean it played for the name on 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.440 the back of your jersey. I mean that it played 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.560 for some pride out there. That was embarrassing if I 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.120 was on that. I mean, you go out there and 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.479 not only are you guys missing tackles, but like Danny 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.560 pointed out, you're just loafing expecting someone else to make 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.640 the play. I mean, if we look at number fifty 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.360 four here, jealous Smith, I mean you could see he 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.880 was just jogging expecting all the smith to make the play, 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.559 expecting one of those corners or safeties or other people 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.640 on the field to make the play. And then he realized, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.880 oh snap, let me change gears and try to catch O'Dell. 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.000 That is the That is the definition if Marion Ellie 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.000 was still here. That is a definition of a loaf, 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.240 and I know Jayla knows that because he was here 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.680 with Marion Ellie. So I mean, it's just you gotta 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.360 play for the back to Jersey, their name on the 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.320 back yards jersey because right now it's looking pitiful. Hello, 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.600 can we get the video play? Because I also like 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.040 we see Jayalen. I want you to see a few 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.040 of the defensive linemen, and then I also want you 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.040 to see our man number twenty seven the entire play. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.200 This is probably one of his worst snaps of his 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:34.520 entire football career, going back to youth football CB. Can 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:39.679 we get this play? By the way, at this point 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.280 in time, the Cowboys have made it a forty one 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.400 thirty eight football game with three minutes and forty two 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.000 seconds to go, So the Cowboys are right where they 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.160 need to be. Yeah, make sure I got my math right. Yes, 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.800 three forty two was after the cd lad touchdown to 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.200 make it forty one thirty eight. So here it is 0:07:55.240 --> 0:08:00.040 now Cleveland really with the pressure on Cleveland at this 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.440 point time. Oh, by the way, they made an interesting 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.360 special team's tick, but I won't get into that. But 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.840 so this is the time for the defense to rise up. 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:14.200 This is your opportunity to go ahead and make a stop. 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:18.120 And initially Alton spent this in the right place to 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:23.320 make this a loss, a significant loss, and Odell Beckham 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.480 eludes him and then goes fifty yards and there there, 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.120 there's the plays. He's running through the tulips and at 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.640 and t s tick, wait wait, wait till they get 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.720 back to the wide. I want you to see ninety. 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.160 I want you to see seventy two. I want you 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:40.840 to see twenty seven, and the effort is like literally zero, 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.000 it's zero. And then twenty seven and another guy run 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.720 straight out of bounds and they don't plan and retrace 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.320 and trying to go make the tackle and they really 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.760 run out of bounds. Check this out. Look at it. 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.800 Look look at ninety. Look at the rest of the 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:59.920 d line literally doing nothing. Look at forty eight while 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:06.880 out about twenty seven out of outs. It makes no sense. 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.000 Twenty eight was definitely a loafing the whole play. That's 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.520 how you ended up back there, not even close to Odell, 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.200 Like it's uninspired. And you come and you come in 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.440 there and you say, hey man, it's miscommunication. You know 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.480 we're not really picking up the defense and we just 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.320 need to they just need to let us play and 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.560 simplified it don't get no more simple than he run 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.280 as fast as you can to try to make the tackle. 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:32.080 This is this is straight up embarrassing. I'm talking about bad. 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:36.360 This is at least nine loafs on this play. So yeah, 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:41.680 so I don't know the After that play, there was 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.720 one word that came to my mind, and that's pride. 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:51.240 And for me, you know, I'm older than you guys, 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.640 So I go back to watching the Cowboys when Starback 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.360 was playing and Harvey Martin and Randy White, Drew Pierce. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.000 You know, I go back to these guys before you know, 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.720 the nineties crew came in here, and even those nineties guys, 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:10.080 the one three championships, there was pride. And anyone who's 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.720 watched Dallas Cowboys football long enough to see some Super 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:18.960 Bowl championships knows that that play and what was on 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.480 display Sunday was a lack of pride. The kind of 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.079 pride where you are to go in there and take 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.760 some stars off helmets and just next week against the Giants, 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.679 just going out there with some great helmets because nobody's 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.720 earning this star and the kind of effort this team 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:37.120 is putting out here. It's embarrassing. I mean, it is embarrassing. 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:39.800 But tell me, how do you get to a point 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.079 to where, like, listen, I can understand, right, if you're 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.880 getting blew out, you're down by twenty one, and then 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:46.520 that's the play that they run, Right, it's like the 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.920 game's over. You know, everybody really go home and packing in. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.480 This is a point in the game where if you 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.040 make the stop, you having chairs to come back and 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.360 win the game. So pride, I'm like, I'm like, you 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.120 don't even have to have pride to do that, right, 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:00.880 because pride when you get your butt beat and you 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.360 still go out there and you play for the name 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.319 on the back of your jersey, you know you still 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.240 go This is at a point of the game where 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.319 the game ain't even over. You just made one of 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.839 the greatest comebacks in NFL history again, and then this 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.400 is the effort that you give on the next snap. 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.720 Look at twenty seven. He just failed. As I watched 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.760 every time I watched this, I'm just I'm more confused. 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.760 I'm more confused the most going on. And it's not 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:27.000 like Cleveland was just driving the ball like the offense 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.360 for the town's Cowboys had just got off the field. 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.480 Cleveland had just received the kickoff. So it can't be 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.440 like these guys are tired out there, like they got 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.440 a you know, it was an eighty yard drive and 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.320 this is the fifteenth player of the drive. Now this 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.240 is what the second or first player of the drive 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.720 they had going on there, and just to see, like 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:47.200 you pointed out all those different guys, this effort was 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.280 just not there and knew what you pointed it out. 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.680 It comes back to pride, it comes back to playing 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.560 for that name on the back of your jersey. It's 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.200 just it didn't look good. And I mean it was 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.880 I mean, Danny, you know the special team's reference Joe 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.600 used to always say this, Jodi Camillus. It looked like 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.480 they were ducks in a row. I mean they let 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:08.080 one move. Oh, they'll made one cut and about five 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.360 players went to out of bounds and to the right side. 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.720 And you just can't have that. You gotta tear it off. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.240 You gotta have different levels to your defense. And it 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.240 just wasn't there at all. I mean, that was an 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:21.120 embarrassing display, like you guys said, because this is why 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.120 this is why they're not letting us watch practice because 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.880 they obviously ain't doing no pursuit drill. They're not doing 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.920 no tackling drill. I'm like, I'm absolutely like, how do 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.720 you how do they're not doing none of this stuff? Bro? Like, 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.240 it's not one good angle on this play, and this 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.600 is just an example of what happened the entire game, 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.719 actually the entire first quarter of the season. Like this 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.959 is not just this play, this one just where it 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.520 stood out for where the whole defense is doing this. 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.199 But what are we doing in practice? This is when 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.920 it goes back, goes back to coaching. What are we 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:55.960 doing let us see tackle? I need to seeing tackles. 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.199 I mean it's just if you name it, that's what 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.320 we did it out there on Sunday. I mean it 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.679 was just play after play it was they just looked 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.160 lost out there. It was just like they just didn't 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:07.880 know where the good they didn't know where the rush 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.560 angle was. I mean, once again, he was running Scott 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.640 free out there. It's man, it's bad. It's bad news 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.240 right now. These dudes they looked that good in two 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:25.680 years again, Danny, stay at this point, I mean it 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.439 wasn't but two weeks ago they were I mean this, 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.880 there were speculation stories that it was time you trade 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.640 Odell Beckham Junior because they didn't know how to use him. 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.120 He wasn't any good. It was from me, remember that, 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.280 I mean it was. It was supposed to be a 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.200 real bad thing going on right now between Baker and 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.160 Odell and the Browns. It was supposed to be bad. 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.560 And now this dude on TV yucking it up, posing 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.400 for the kids, getting three touchdowns running free Willie all 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.360 through that. I mean, think about that. This is a 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.840 guy that was strugg the league. He just this guy. Man, 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.520 I might have made the Pro Bowl based off what 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.800 he did on TV.

The Browns 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.360 ended up making the playoffs that year.

New we Scrugs, 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:27.159 longtime Cowboys reporter, joined by former Cowboys safety's Buried Church 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.520 and Danny McCray. This is a player's lounge brought to 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.480 you by Hotels dot Com. We are in our SWBC 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:37.640 Mortgage Virtual Home studios. Let's give out some grades, gentlemen, 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.240 we have yet to talk about the quarterback. Let's let's 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.919 bring up Dak Prescott here. Five hundred and two yards 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.560 of passing, three touchdowns. If he's on your fantasy team, 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.719 you're real happy. But overall, I'll start with you, McCrae. 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:53.919 What grade would you give the Cowboys quarterback? You know, 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.160 for his fight, you know, and his ability to bring 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:58.679 us back in the game. I'm gonna give him a B. 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.359 And I'm gonna give him that because if you watch 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:06.320 that game and even even the touchdown to Mark Cooper, 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.119 my man almost threw five interceptions. Um, you know, he 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.480 got away with a lot of stuff in that game 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.960 that that he shouldn't have, maybe because he was playing 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.520 the Browns and they just weren't able to capitalize on 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.320 those plays. But you know he was able to bring 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:22.200 us back. He gave us a chance to win that game. 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.520 And you know he ended ended this one off with 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.919 an interception. But you know, I'm gonna give him a 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:28.960 be just because he kept us in it. And that's 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:30.720 and that's tough to do, specially when you're down forty 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:35.280 one fourteen. So he gets a B from me. Four touchdowns, 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.280 My bad was four four touchdowns, Barry, What are you 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:41.520 gonna get Dak Gray? I'm gonna getting Dak a solid 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.480 CE on this one. Um. Like you said, Daniel, you know, 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.359 I gotta give him credit for fighting back. You know, 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:49.919 he threw up all these guily numbers. You know they 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:51.840 were empty calories, but he put them up there, and 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.479 he got them back within a striking within the striking 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:58.720 realm of getting another crazy comeback. But you know, part 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:00.639 of the reason they were in that mess, it's because 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.240 of him. I mean so, and like you said, he 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.600 could have thrown like four or five if Cleveland secondary 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.280 could catch. I mean, he would have probably thrown about 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.800 four interceptions out there alone. So for me, I gotta 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.280 give him a C. He did not look great throwing 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.320 the ball out there. Like I said, he brought him back. 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.120 But in the beginning part, where was that at when 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:20.880 it was you know, seven seven? Where was that at 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:23.440 when it was fourteen fourteen? We need to see more 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:25.520 earnestly out of out of this offense as a whole 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:27.320 instead of when you know, all the chips are down 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:29.280 and no one expects you to do anything, then you 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.800 want to show up. So for me, this offense, they 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:33.720 all got to step it up. And it starts with 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.199 Dak Prescott. So I'm gonna give him a C grade 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.119 for this. Uh this game, Cleveland Brown, we don't we 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.639 don't have it, bro, I'm sorry, we don't have it, 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.440 all right, we don't have it. When when the game 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:46.560 is close, this is the same thing. We're going back 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:50.320 to trash yards again. The defense liter let's out the gas. Yeah, 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:51.920 the defense let out the gas. And then all of 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:53.560 a sudden, you know, they think they're going home and 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:55.280 they're getting on the bus because the game's over. And 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:56.480 then all of a sudden. You know what I'm saying, 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.960 we wake up. Maybe that's our strategy. Get down real, 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:00.560 you know, lull them to sleep, and then try to 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:02.919 try to make a comeback, because that's the only way 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:06.280 we're getting all these yards. Its head coach. That's a 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:10.320 different year. The head coach said, there a come back team, 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:15.080 and the press conference, I'm sitting here, listen, this is 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.560 the strategy to come back team. I mean, I U 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:21.280 who I mean, Hey, look man, I'm off that cool league. Okay, 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:26.040 I'm off that Mike. Okay, I poured all that out 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:30.880 and I poured all that out and new No, sir, no, sir, no, sir. 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.120 I can't. I can't. I can't get with what I'm 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.800 here where you know we're a come back team. No, no, no, baby, no, 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:41.040 that's that's not the strategy you want. Hey, let's go 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:43.000 ahead and get down and then we're gonna gonna use 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.160 then we're gonna throw out our good plays. We're gonna 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:49.320 come back like no. No, um no, I've got to 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.880 give I give Dak al b I give Dak could 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.359 be um for the standpoint is you know he did 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:57.040 keep the team in the game. Uh, didn't just fold. 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.040 But I also come back to this thing that I 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.760 argue with about people, and Bucky Brooks is with me 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:05.960 on the same thing. They're just throwing the ball too much. 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:11.680 Fifty eight passing attempts, Okay, another week where sure Dak's 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.040 got well over four hundred fifty yard. Three weeks in 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:15.960 a row, he's got five hundred two yards. But they're 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.720 throwing the ball way too much. What have we seen 0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:20.800 out of Baker Mayfield and what they did in Cleveland. 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.760 Cleveland said we're gonna run this thing and we're gonna 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.760 limit the amount of throws for Baker Mayfield. When I 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:29.600 go back and look at one of the most successful 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:33.680 seasons for Tony Romo, it was when they gave DeMarco 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:37.400 Murray the ball, and DeMarco Murray was the NFC Offensive 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.119 Player of the Year. They limited the throws for Tony Romo. 0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:43.520 When you see guys out here slinging the ball almost 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.639 sixty times a game, there's something else that usually comes 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:51.480 with that, a loss. And I still don't understand why 0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:54.760 the Cowboys are out here throw throw, throw, throw, throw, 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.720 And people could say, well, the game dictated that, but 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.200 you know what, if you start the game better in 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:02.880 the Cowboys and starting the football game, then maybe you'll 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:06.199 have an opportunity to do what the Browns did. You know. 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:08.439 I went back here and I looked at the Okay, 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:12.159 this is the first series, all right, First and ten 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:16.879 of the twenty five, Ezekiel Elliott gets four yards on 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.399 a run and then Joe Looney the center ended up leaving. 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:22.240 So a second and six of the twenty nine, Dak 0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:26.920 got sacked by Miles Garrett. Now it was criminal that 0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:29.840 they let Terrence Steal out here all by yourself, all 0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:33.760 Miles Garrett. Okay, that was just absolutely criminal. But also 0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:36.760 Dak help if you watched it. If you watch that play, 0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:40.280 Dak held onto the ball too long, you got to know, hey, man, 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:44.040 I got rookie against a number one pick in the draft. 0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:46.760 Who's good. You better have a clock in your head. 0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:49.240 Did homeboys coming? So I put I look at that, 0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:51.440 and I said that I need I need you. You're 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:54.359 making thirty one million dollars. I need you to cover 0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:56.760 up for the mistakes or cover up for what could 0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.359 happen with Terrence Steal. You gotta be ready for that. 0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:01.520 So I put that on. The coaches also put that 0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:04.119 one on the quarterback. So now it's third and seventeen. 0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:07.040 Zeke catches the ball. They just give it to him, 0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:10.320 so it's then's the fourth down and then so Cleveland 0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:12.119 gets the ball. They got a first and ten at 0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:16.160 their thirty. Nick Chubb runs uh makes a first down 0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:19.199 run first and ten on the Cowboy forty nine incomplete 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:22.439 pass tipped by Joe Thomas, second and ten of the 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:25.520 forty nine Hooper with the Austin Hooper with the first 0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:28.280 down reception. Then it's first and ten on the thirty seven. 0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:31.359 Then he got the trick play where Jarvis Landry comes 0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:33.639 out there. It's got the whole defense sucked in and 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.520 food then throws into O B J and the end zone. 0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:42.240 Let's address that one real quick. You know that was 0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:46.120 covered too, all right. It's no way that that that 0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:48.520 that should have happened. You got two safeties back the 0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:51.560 receiver or releases out the line going out for a 0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:54.360 pass and my safety comes up to go defending the run. 0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:56.959 No way that should have happened. We just made these 0:24:57.040 --> 0:25:00.240 guys look like superstars. This once again another episode the 0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:06.639 bad Eyes. I mean, to your point earlier knew you. 0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:09.920 I mean it's easy to limit, you know, Baker Mayfield's 0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:12.320 throws and attempts to I think he only attempted thirty 0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:15.480 thirty pat But when you got that, yeah, and that's 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:17.600 a that's a that's a great formula for Cleveland. And 0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:20.560 when you got that in the backfield though, I mean, yeah, 0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:22.880 Wen you got and then your third down, the third 0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:25.040 running back it's going for for damn here at a 0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:28.119 hundred yards. I mean, so it's easy to limit his throws. 0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:30.359 But when you come to our side, I mean, what 0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:32.960 you get Zeke at twelve or fifty four on a 0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:35.720 four point five carry. I mean we got to see 0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:38.080 more from Zeke as well. I mean he fumbled the ball. 0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:39.720 I mean we got to see more from Zeke's will. 0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:41.240 I'm not putting any I mean I'm still blaming it, 0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:42.720 you know, I'm still saying that gott to step this 0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:44.040 game up. But we gotta see more out of this 0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:49.280 running game as well them. Okay, yeah, Now here's here's 0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:53.439 my thing on on Cleveland versus the Cowboys. And we 0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:55.920 spoke about earlier in the week. You knew what Cleveland 0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:59.479 wanted to do. They wanted to run the football, all right. 0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:02.359 They they put the resources in the offensive line like 0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:05.000 the Cowboys have done. And so they say, they let 0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:07.600 you know, we're coming to run. And we also spoke 0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.240 about how their strength is the cowboys weakness on the 0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:13.160 D line. So they came out there. It was no secret. Okay, 0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:16.160 nobody in the Cowboys should be surprised about what they 0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:18.639 were coming to do. They were coming up pounding and 0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:22.639 they couldn't stop it. Meanwhile, I'm starting to ask, what 0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:26.280 are the Cowboys? What are the Cowboys? To me? The 0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:29.400 Cowboys are not committed to running the football that they 0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:31.840 want to sit up here and draw. Kellie wants to 0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:34.000 draw plays, and he McCarthy want to throw it all 0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:36.880 around the football field because they got all these these 0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:42.639 these quote unquote weapons and they've abandoned the run. I'm sorry, 0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:46.440 Zekiel Elliott once again with fourteen care Then then here's 0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:48.160 the thing, and I would ask, if I'm Jerry Jones 0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:50.040 and Stephen Jones, I'd ask these coaches this, why the 0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:52.880 heck did we pay him? Why did you pay Ze money? 0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:55.600 Why did you pay Zee all these money? If you 0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:57.680 aren't going to give this guy the ball, you could 0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:00.119 just go get a regular old running back, Gio, you 0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:02.080 can get you can get somebody, But well, I pay 0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:08.600 this kind of money and you're not featuring the play. 0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:10.840 That's why I agree with you. I mean, like, I 0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:12.920 don't think twelfth carriers in the full game is enough 0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:15.439 at all. I mean, yeah, he got some receptions out there. 0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:18.080 I think got eight receptions or eight targets out there, 0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:20.080 and they call all eight of them. But that's not 0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.199 that should be our identity. We're not there, you know, 0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:24.160 two thousand. We're not the two thousand and ten Green 0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:26.679 Bay Packers where Aaron Rodgers was throwing the ball all 0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:28.640 over the place. I mean, that's that's not who we are. 0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:31.120 We have the talent to be that, but I think 0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:33.359 our formula fund that get has always been, you know, 0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:35.359 ground and pound and then throw what we need to. 0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:37.719 But I don't know, maybe Kellen Moore's been playing too 0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:39.560 much Madden. I don't know what's going on with them, 0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:41.560 but I mean he's throwing all over yard like we're 0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:44.520 in recess and it's just not working for our team 0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:49.760 right now. Once again, somebody listened to Amari Cooper, Dak 0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:51.840 and Zeke or should be the only people who touching 0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:53.480 the ball in the first years of the game. Yeah, 0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:55.880 we could just get that done and show people that 0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:58.800 that's what we're focusing on, giving giving Zeke the ball, 0:27:59.080 --> 0:28:00.919 find a way to get Cool the ball, you know, 0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:02.840 saying starting the game out like that, with a long, 0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:05.800 methodical drive, I think that everything changes for us. But 0:28:05.840 --> 0:28:08.520 we just were just set on not doing that, not 0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:11.240 focusing on our big time money players that we paid 0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:15.200 to go out there and have production. Well, well now 0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:17.879 now let me okay, all right, you bring that up. 0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:22.200 Now the first series, okay, it was it was all 0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:25.520 twenty one, all right, I mean, did you start first 0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:27.480 and ten to twenty five was a Zeke run? The 0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:30.520 SAT killed them? Okay, that Sat killed them? And so 0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:32.920 on third and seventeen it was Zeke. So the next 0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:35.240 time they get the ball after the the Odell Beckham 0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:38.360 Junior trick play touchdown, uh, it's first and tended to 0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:40.920 twelve because because your boy on the kickoff was lost. 0:28:41.400 --> 0:28:51.480 Tony Pollard on that kickoff, Oh my gosh, what death taxis? 0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:54.640 And Tony pold on these kickoffs. Boy, So it's first 0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:58.040 and ten of the twelve and it's a Dalton Schultz 0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:01.640 twenty five yard catch for first down, second and tended 0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.080 to thirty seven they run Zeke for three yards, second 0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:07.400 and seven A to forty it is a Ezekiel Elliott 0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:10.440 eighteen yard reception for a first down. Then it's first 0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:12.600 intended to forty three, and it's CD Lamb with the 0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:15.000 forty three yard touchdown, and they tied at seven. So 0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:18.000 so you know, the first two I didn't hear Cooper. 0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:22.520 I didn't hear Mark Cooper in there. And then third 0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:25.480 and seventeen to Zeke to me, is irrelevant. Of course, 0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:27.440 it's thirty seventeen. You just try to get out of 0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:29.960 there and put the ball. You're gonna give it to Zeke. 0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:31.640 You're gonna throw it down the field seventeen yards and 0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:34.200 get an interception that don't count. And then you said 0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:35.920 you come back the second drive and you got Dalton 0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:39.240 shots and you hit Cede Lamb after Zeke runs for three. 0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:41.719 I still don't hear Cooper in there, and I hear 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:45.480 a run from from Zeke. But you can't argue with 0:29:45.720 --> 0:29:48.760 what happened. Okay, So shots for a twenty five yard game. 0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:52.160 That's a good play up. Okay, Yeah, listen, the worst, 0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:53.760 the worst thing, the worst thing you can do is 0:29:53.760 --> 0:29:55.600 get lucky in a situation like this. This is why 0:29:55.640 --> 0:29:58.000 we haven't focused on giving these guys the ball, because 0:29:58.120 --> 0:29:59.560 what have you don't give it to them and then 0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:01.120 you get it player, you like, shoot, you know what? 0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:03.600 That that's our that's our recipe right there. We should 0:30:03.600 --> 0:30:05.400 just keep going away from because we got other options 0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:06.840 that we can get to to make these plays and 0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:09.600 it's not working. Okay. So I'm gonna fight you on this. 0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:11.200 So okay, I'm gonna fight you on this one. Okay. 0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:14.200 So now all the third possession, Okay, third possession here 0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:17.640 comes Cooper. Okay. So it's a first intended to sixteen, 0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:21.560 a ten yard game for Cooper. Then uh Pollard or 0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:26.040 the five yard run Cooper with Pollards in the game. Okay, Okay. 0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:29.160 So so Cooper asked, that's a first two under series 0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:32.560 three first three plays two go to Cooper. Then um, 0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:35.280 it's a slant to Noah Brown for a first down. 0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:40.360 Then it's a CD Lamb reception that was off that 0:30:40.400 --> 0:30:42.560 play that got tipped, that should have been picked but 0:30:42.720 --> 0:30:44.640 he caught it out of the air. That it's an 0:30:44.640 --> 0:30:47.240 incomplete pass on first and tend the twenty eight second 0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:50.320 in tended that they get Browns twenty eight CD Lamb 0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:52.640 for a three yard run on the jet suite, then 0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:55.920 third seven or the twenty five the CD Lanb reception. 0:30:56.080 --> 0:30:58.120 Then they came up with the fourth down and two play. 0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:00.840 Then there was a two yard touchdown pass say the 0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:04.280 twenty yards test well actually, so actually you know you're 0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:06.640 right you right now, let me help you write what 0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:08.560 was the score at this point? Right, so if we're 0:31:08.560 --> 0:31:11.120 getting our players involved, we got Zeke involved, we got Cooper. 0:31:11.400 --> 0:31:14.960 What was the score seven fourteen to seven? Cowboys? Okay, 0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:22.000 just check it, all right? And then so it worked, yeah, yes, okay, 0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:25.360 all right, my bad, my bad, my bad, You're right, 0:31:25.480 --> 0:31:29.200 new it whatever. At the end of the day, man, 0:31:29.280 --> 0:31:31.880 lord who we scored another point. Look what they did 0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:36.320 on their first six drafts of the game five five 0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:40.160 of the first six Cleveland Browns offensively, five of the 0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:43.000 first six drafts were points, and only one of those 0:31:43.040 --> 0:31:45.240 were field goals. It was one of those field goals. 0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:47.480 At the end of the day, our deepense is trash 0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:50.040 right now, and we can't stop those league Like we 0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:52.120 can talk about you know, Dak running, we get talking 0:31:52.120 --> 0:31:54.479 about Zeke doing this. At the end of the day, 0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:57.600 we gotta stop somebody. We gotta make it. We gotta 0:31:57.600 --> 0:32:00.680 be able to stop somebody out here. We can't. I yes, 0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:06.760 we gotta take a we gotta take a break. But Danny, 0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:08.160 I'm still gonna fight to you a little bit here. 0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:09.760 I'm gonna fight you a little bit here.

Okay, I've 0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:48.080 got to try that Cowboys chi steak. I have not 0:34:48.320 --> 0:34:50.799 had that at the state. I gotta go check that 0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:53.919 out there. I gotta do that, all right, mc craig, 0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:58.080 come on, come on, come on. We're debating a little 0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:00.600 bit here, so so go back to they're doing what 0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:03.439 you want here, Okay, no, no, the kind of kind 0:35:03.440 --> 0:35:05.840 of the they're kind of they're kind of doing what 0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:10.040 I want, all right, but go ahead, alright, seven fourteen seven, 0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:13.160 next play, Cleveland goes on a nine play drive and 0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:16.240 that's when Odell Beckham Junior was wide open as Warley 0:35:16.280 --> 0:35:18.720 was trying to cover him, so that made it fourteen fortune. 0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:22.200 So here they are on drive number four. All right. Uh, 0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.279 By the way, Tony Poler took the kickoff, returning to 0:35:26.360 --> 0:35:29.680 the twenty six. So first intended the twenty six Ezekiel 0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:32.400 Elliott nine yard run, second and one of the thirty 0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:36.239 six Ezekiel Elliott runs no game, Third and one of 0:35:36.360 --> 0:35:40.200 the thirty six Elliott makes a first down run of 0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:42.919 two yards, so it's first intended their own thirty eight. 0:35:43.800 --> 0:35:46.600 And here's where the game really gets away from the 0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:51.080 Cowboys and they shoot themselves in the foot. Dak is 0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:56.759 sacked by Miles Garrett strip sack of course against the 0:35:56.840 --> 0:36:02.120 right tackle steel Olivia. First album it was first and 0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:07.719 thirty eight, Yes, I mean first, okay, first, first and 0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.840 tend thirty yard line. So so there that that, and 0:36:10.880 --> 0:36:14.200 then of course Cleveland took that and ran u four 0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:16.960 plays later made it twenty one to fourteen with nine 0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:21.560 twenty two to go. So then the exact next play, 0:36:21.680 --> 0:36:26.319 after a kick a touchback first intended to twenty five 0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:30.120 Ezekiel Elliott fumbles, Cleveland gets the ball and then it's 0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:35.000 twenty eight to fourteen. Cleveland twenty unanswered points. So when 0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:38.080 you start to look at this thing, your your playmakers 0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:43.200 are are creating problems and the coaching staff isn't helping. 0:36:43.520 --> 0:36:46.440 The coaching staff is not helping Tarren Steele. And I 0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:48.600 saw Tarrence Steele get benched in this game, and I 0:36:48.640 --> 0:36:51.759 thought that was absolutely wrong on the coaches. From this standpoint, 0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:55.480 you weren't helping him. Of course, Miles Garrett was gonna 0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:57.440 beat him. You bring in Brandon Knight. You know how 0:36:57.520 --> 0:37:01.200 to Brandon right. Miles Garrett ran around hit two. I'm sorry, 0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:03.680 I don't give a damn about all these receivers you 0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:05.759 want to put in in a route. It doesn't matter 0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:08.080 if you got three four wide receivers in a route. 0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:10.840 If that doesn't have time to go see these dudes. 0:37:11.280 --> 0:37:13.680 This is the stuff that they did last year that 0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:16.080 drove me nuts, and Kellen Moore is doing it again. 0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:18.520 And this is where Mike McCarthy is the head coach, 0:37:18.719 --> 0:37:21.240 needs to step in here, and Joe Philbing, the offensive 0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:23.600 line coach, needs to step in and say, hey, Callen, 0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:27.520 we gotta help, we gotta help Steal, we gotta help Night, 0:37:27.760 --> 0:37:31.719 because these dudes cannot hold up against the best in 0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:33.960 the game. Imagine what you're gonna do when you face 0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:37.319 Pittsburgh at Baltimore. Even Washington's got a good D line. 0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:40.600 I mean, this thing is getting crazy, Philadelphia. This is 0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:45.360 absolutely atrocious that they refuse to help their offensive tackles 0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:48.480 in their time of need. And it's once again it 0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:53.680 is leading to fumbles and points. Cleveland scored fourteen points 0:37:53.719 --> 0:37:57.399 off cowboy mistakes. Fourteen points and when we talk about 0:37:57.440 --> 0:37:59.920 coming into this man, that was what Cleveland was doing there. 0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:02.640 Red and Butter is they created turnovers and they scored 0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:05.000 off the turnovers. Go ahead and Cray, I want to 0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:08.080 Church to touch on this after I kind of break 0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:10.359 it down a little bit because in my mind, what 0:38:10.400 --> 0:38:12.800 I've been saying for so many weeks is get the 0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:15.560 ball to Zeke and then give it the coop and 0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:17.879 then let everything else go out that so that sat 0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:19.960 so that drives that we just went through before Zeke 0:38:20.040 --> 0:38:23.359 fumble was three three straight players to Zeke that got 0:38:23.440 --> 0:38:25.399 us a first down, right we pounded the ball down, 0:38:25.440 --> 0:38:28.920 they throw We have a right tackle who were already 0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:31.799 worried about and we're not giving any help right out there, 0:38:31.920 --> 0:38:34.440 and you come out on first down with Miles Garrett 0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:36.200 on him and you try to throw the ball after 0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:38.480 the running game just got you a first down. To me, 0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:41.560 that doesn't make any sense. And if I'm not mistaken, 0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:43.640 it was a drop back, not even a play action, 0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:46.160 a boot, a sprint out, any of that. It was 0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:48.160 just a straight drop back on first down after Zeke 0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:50.520 thing got you those yards and you get sack forced fumble. 0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:52.880 To me, that just doesn't make sense. It's not smart 0:38:52.920 --> 0:38:55.160 play calling, and it's not working to you know, to 0:38:55.280 --> 0:38:57.520 the advantage of what you're doing. And that's kind of, 0:38:57.640 --> 0:39:00.319 you know, exploiting your own disadvantaged by having that out 0:39:00.360 --> 0:39:02.920 there on Miles Gear that that's just not smart play caller. 0:39:06.200 --> 0:39:08.480 I agree. I mean, I'm not fighting you on that. 0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:12.719 You're you're you're there. I mean, I just this is 0:39:12.920 --> 0:39:15.399 an m O. And this is a question I'd love 0:39:15.520 --> 0:39:18.439 to to ask Mike mccarth these guys press conference coming 0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:23.360 up today, what is your philosophy on trying to protect 0:39:24.160 --> 0:39:27.400 a weakness You've got award. You know your right tackle 0:39:27.440 --> 0:39:30.840 spot is bad. You saw it last week against Seattle, 0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:34.239 and now you're bringing in the premier pass rusher and 0:39:34.320 --> 0:39:37.680 you do this. I don't get it. Danny. I mean, 0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:39.640 that's my thing is I don't I don't get this 0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:43.440 philosophy of not helping these guys because you want more 0:39:43.520 --> 0:39:46.040 dudes in a route. I mean, if I have if 0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:49.359 I have two receivers in a route and I keep 0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:52.359 in shots, you know what's fine. I can, I can. 0:39:52.480 --> 0:39:54.799 I got I got Cooper, I got Gal. I'll find 0:39:54.800 --> 0:39:56.359 a way to get those two guys the ball if 0:39:56.360 --> 0:39:58.160 you give them some time. I think Dad can do that. 0:39:58.239 --> 0:39:59.920 But if there's no time, it doesn't matter if you 0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:02.400 got three or four guys in a route, because Dad's 0:40:02.440 --> 0:40:04.959 never gonna see him. That's what drives me crazy about 0:40:05.000 --> 0:40:07.879 these dudes who want to call these plays. It bucks me, man, 0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:10.319 that bucks me very much. Church, what do you think 0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:14.080 about the play calling? Yeah, my own arm, I think 0:40:14.120 --> 0:40:16.080 you are with the play calling. But y'all, but I 0:40:16.080 --> 0:40:20.600 don't understand. What's why. Are y'all surprised all this has 0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:23.600 that they left this guy at right tackle by himself. 0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:25.880 I mean, this is this is the m It's always 0:40:25.920 --> 0:40:28.680 too little, too late. I mean, look, we started the 0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:31.879 game out slow man the man, they're pulling up the score. 0:40:31.960 --> 0:40:34.440 Now it's time for us to go. My guy, Terence Still, 0:40:34.480 --> 0:40:36.759 he's getting the brakes beat off of him out there. Man, 0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:38.719 We're just gonna bench him and put Brandon Night out there. 0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:40.799 He's getting the brakes beat off of him. Maybe now 0:40:40.800 --> 0:40:42.839 in the fourth quarter will start chipping. So for me, 0:40:42.880 --> 0:40:45.080 I mean, it's it's simple. It's it's not surprising at 0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:47.240 all that this coaching staff is just letting these guys 0:40:47.239 --> 0:40:49.680 get beat down until it's too late and they say, oh, 0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:51.640 let me go ahead and make an adjustment real quick. 0:40:51.920 --> 0:40:54.600 I mean, it's just this coaching staffs m right now. 0:40:54.680 --> 0:40:58.439 And to me, it's it's not surprising at all. Watch 0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:02.600 the mylf. I'll go ahead in no way, let's let's 0:41:02.680 --> 0:41:05.240 take this thing even further and let's look out here, 0:41:05.840 --> 0:41:07.640 all right, And we didn't touch on the episode, so 0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:10.080 let's even get here. Lell Collins is out for the 0:41:10.160 --> 0:41:13.560 year at right tackle, Okay, he's not coming back, gonna 0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:18.560 have surgery gone. Why not take Zach Martin, put him 0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:20.400 out here at right tackle for the rest of the 0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:25.200 year and go put in Connor McGovern. I mean, why 0:41:25.239 --> 0:41:28.000 not do this? Joe Looney went out with a knee injury, 0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:30.359 so you had Tyler beyandest Now at the center spot. 0:41:30.400 --> 0:41:33.719 Why not do this? You used a third round pick 0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:35.840 on Connor McGovern, a guy they said they had a 0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:39.960 second round grade on. Why not do this versus putting 0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:43.759 an undrafted rookie Tarrant Steel out here and Brandon Knight 0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:46.440 another guy who's not a high draft pick out here. 0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:50.640 Why not? It may hurt Zach in terms of making 0:41:50.680 --> 0:41:53.640 another all Pro at guard, but if you're gonna sit 0:41:53.719 --> 0:41:55.920 up here and play the rest of this thing without Collins, 0:41:56.120 --> 0:41:59.560 I mean, I don't call me crazy, but I think 0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:02.520 Martin is better than those other two. So why not 0:42:02.880 --> 0:42:04.479 that guy out there just tell him to go ahead 0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:08.200 and suck it up. I'm a little before we go 0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:11.000 ahead and start doing you know, mismatching and fantasy football 0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:13.279 moving this guys, this guy here, why don't we just 0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:15.879 give the guy some help. Just go aheaded and let's 0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:18.240 see what they can do when they're running back chips, 0:42:18.400 --> 0:42:20.239 or let's see what they can do when they keep 0:42:20.239 --> 0:42:22.040 it tight end and they and they double team that 0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:24.440 guy and help that tackle over there. I mean, before 0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:27.120 we start moving you know, all pro guards over the 0:42:27.160 --> 0:42:29.560 tackle and mismatching this that and a third and playing 0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:32.239 fantasy football, let's just get a guy some help and 0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:33.759 see what he could do is see if he could 0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:36.120 stand up with some help out there, and we had 0:42:36.160 --> 0:42:38.560 we get to see that, all right, Church? Right, I 0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:40.400 come at a two ways. If you're going to be 0:42:40.440 --> 0:42:43.080 committed to not giving help, okay, if this is their 0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:45.759 system says they're going to do, then put the better 0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:48.640 right tackle out there. And Martin is a better right tackle. 0:42:49.080 --> 0:42:50.920 So if I'm going to pat, if I'm going to 0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:54.160 go ahead, Church, go ahead, gonn finish it now? I'm sorry, 0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:58.640 go ahead ahead, okay. So if I'm going to if 0:42:58.680 --> 0:43:03.120 I'm going to make my self weaker, would I rather 0:43:03.160 --> 0:43:05.799 make myself weaker at the right tackle or at the 0:43:05.880 --> 0:43:10.840 right guard? Where it depends when you're playing? Where do 0:43:10.880 --> 0:43:14.319 I want? The more it detends who you're playing there? 0:43:16.440 --> 0:43:19.279 I mean, if you're playing, go ahead, go ahead, And 0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:21.359 I'm sorry, go ahead. No, I'm just saying, at this 0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:24.919 point in time, I'm going to either way, I'm gonna 0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:29.799 have award if you leave yourself at right tackle and 0:43:29.920 --> 0:43:32.360 you're not going to help, okay, So if you're not 0:43:32.400 --> 0:43:34.439 gonna help, like you're saying, if they're not gonna help, 0:43:34.520 --> 0:43:37.160 then you need to put Zack Martin out there. If 0:43:37.200 --> 0:43:40.359 you're pleasingly steal a night there, then you better help them. 0:43:40.400 --> 0:43:42.279 But they gotta do one or the other man. You 0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:46.759 gotta do one of the Yeah, that's yeah, what they're 0:43:46.760 --> 0:43:49.000 doing right now is criminal. And that's that's all I'm saying, 0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:51.719 is if, like, if you're gonna go out there and 0:43:51.800 --> 0:43:54.200 leave that guy out there, at least help him out there. 0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:56.200 I mean, it's just that's the that's the easiest thing, 0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:58.279 and that's the easiest solution I think right now, is 0:43:58.320 --> 0:44:00.520 if if you're gonna, if you're gonna have that guy 0:44:00.520 --> 0:44:03.320 at rat tackle, at least give him the most help possible. 0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:05.759 Don't act like he's Tyring Smith out there and just 0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:07.680 leave him on an island with one of the best 0:44:07.719 --> 0:44:10.160 pass rushers in the game right now. I mean, that's 0:44:10.200 --> 0:44:12.440 just it's just crazy to me. And if you're gonna 0:44:12.520 --> 0:44:14.320 go ahead and not help him at all, then go 0:44:14.360 --> 0:44:16.839 ahead and put the other all pro Zach Martin, which 0:44:16.880 --> 0:44:18.480 I'm sure he could be an all pro at any 0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:20.680 of those positions on the offensive line, go ahead and 0:44:20.680 --> 0:44:23.280 put him out there, but just don't make the decision 0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:24.920 to where, all right, we're just gonna leave him out 0:44:24.920 --> 0:44:27.319 there and whatever happens happens, because to me, that's just 0:44:27.840 --> 0:44:30.440 that's just a bad coaching error, and that's just a 0:44:30.440 --> 0:44:33.560 bad coaching judgment. We should we should start a segment 0:44:33.600 --> 0:44:37.440 called called why not? All right? Why why not help out? 0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:40.719 Why not help out your right tackle? Why not kick 0:44:40.840 --> 0:44:42.799 the ball deep instead of kicking it short? You know, 0:44:42.880 --> 0:44:45.480 with with with that most time looting the game, why 0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:47.480 not give the ball to z? Why not give it 0:44:47.520 --> 0:44:49.239 the coup? We could just do why not? And we 0:44:49.280 --> 0:44:52.239 could go we could do a whole season of why not, 0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:55.720 you know, and it wouldn't even begin to cover everything 0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:57.880 that's going on with the Cowboys. We just do so 0:44:57.960 --> 0:45:00.239 much stuff that makes you scratch ahead and say, why 0:45:00.280 --> 0:45:02.759 not do this? It just makes it makes too much sense, 0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:04.640 That's why why not? It makes too much sense for 0:45:04.719 --> 0:45:07.800 us to do it, That is why not. It's too simple, 0:45:08.000 --> 0:45:11.680 it's too easy. Why not do that? Coming soon to 0:45:11.719 --> 0:45:14.920 the players lounge, why not help your right tackle? I mean, 0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:19.920 why just let him get abused out there? Why not? 0:45:20.080 --> 0:45:21.960 Why not? Why not take a knee and just get 0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:24.279 the ball on the twenty five like a confused and 0:45:24.400 --> 0:45:26.880 knew he Like you said before the Odell play, why 0:45:26.960 --> 0:45:29.919 would you just not kick the ball deep. You got 0:45:30.040 --> 0:45:32.040 enough time to try to get the same stop that 0:45:32.160 --> 0:45:35.480 you will have to get anyways, you know, and get 0:45:35.520 --> 0:45:37.399 him out of that field position. It just don't make sense. 0:45:37.400 --> 0:45:39.000 You down about enough to where they kick a field 0:45:39.000 --> 0:45:42.560 goal to games over. I don't understand it. Why not analytics? 0:45:42.600 --> 0:45:48.520 Why I don't know analytics? Mike McCarthy said, you know, 0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:50.759 he had spent all his time in the bunker, and 0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:55.600 you know he was coming back better and I'm sorry, 0:45:55.640 --> 0:45:59.200 better than what we lied to. I mean, was this 0:45:59.280 --> 0:46:01.920 a big old the city stunt? Was this a lie? 0:46:01.960 --> 0:46:06.879 Did they ever really do it? Because if right, if 0:46:06.920 --> 0:46:12.600 you spent that much time, hold up, bro, that's that's bad. 0:46:12.680 --> 0:46:16.440 This is bad results, man, These some bad results and 0:46:17.760 --> 0:46:21.279 the decision making. I don't know, man, And you know, Mike, 0:46:21.440 --> 0:46:25.920 Mike talks today at four the Cowboys coordinators talking four thirty. 0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:29.520 I'm gonna get on that call and and hopefully some 0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:34.120 of these questions get answered. But I do feel bad 0:46:34.160 --> 0:46:37.919 for Terrence Steel and Brandon Knight because the Cowboy fan 0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:41.400 will you know, was on on social media, Oh this 0:46:41.560 --> 0:46:45.439 dude stings. These guys are cruggy that that that it's 0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:49.319 not their fault. They are who they are. Don't blame them, 0:46:49.440 --> 0:46:51.840 blame the dude who put them out there and didn't 0:46:51.880 --> 0:46:54.759 didn't try to protect them as well. And it's the 0:46:54.800 --> 0:46:59.080 same time too. The quarterback has to know who's out there. 0:46:59.160 --> 0:47:02.799 Where's Garrett lined up? Okay, Garrett's lined up right there. 0:47:03.000 --> 0:47:05.239 You know what the protection is. So if you know 0:47:05.520 --> 0:47:07.839 Terence steals out there in one on one, you may 0:47:07.920 --> 0:47:09.560 not be able to get all the time you have. 0:47:09.880 --> 0:47:12.640 So that's why you're making thirty one million dollars. You've 0:47:12.640 --> 0:47:14.960 got to be smarter. You got to know that. That's 0:47:14.960 --> 0:47:17.000 where a guy like Tom Brady has been very good 0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:19.399 through the years, is he understands because you know, Tom 0:47:19.400 --> 0:47:21.200 has had a lot of offensive linemen that have been 0:47:21.239 --> 0:47:24.480 a okay, but he understands of how he's got to 0:47:24.480 --> 0:47:26.640 play and get rid of the football. And that's that 0:47:26.719 --> 0:47:29.400 goes on the quarterback too. Not all on the quarterback, 0:47:29.520 --> 0:47:31.800 but some of it's there. But it ain't these guys 0:47:31.840 --> 0:47:34.839 fault man. The coaching staff has to protect him. All right. 0:47:34.880 --> 0:47:41.240 We have vented for forty five minutes. We'd even finished 0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:44.040 giving out all our grades. We just vented here. So 0:47:44.480 --> 0:47:47.279 we'll bring some more tomorrow as the Cowboys get ready 0:47:47.320 --> 0:47:49.759 for what I deem a must win as they play 0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:53.600 their first NFC East game of the year. As they 0:47:53.640 --> 0:47:56.360 get get ready to take on the New York Giants 0:47:56.400 --> 0:47:59.520 who are old and four. That's Barry Church Danny mc craie, 0:47:59.560 --> 0:48:02.120 former Boys safeties. I'm new we scruts a long time 0:48:02.160 --> 0:48:05.040 Cowboys reporter.
