Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star in Prisco.

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 4: Jake Burger's here, plus got kidson Teddy.

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: And now your hosts Isaiah Standback, Patrick Walker, Josh Rodriguez,

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: and Kyle Yeoman's.

8
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 5: Well, Cowboys Nation, we've gotten to the point. We've gotten

9
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 5: to the point where after the trade deadline, there was

10
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 5: some hope. We got to the three game win streak,

11
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 5: and Dallas saw their playoff hopes start to take a

12
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 5: little bit of.

13
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: A turn in the right direct.

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 5: Things were going well, things were happening, and then you

15
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 5: lost to Detroit and those playoff hopes started to shrink

16
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 5: a little bit. Not completely dashed, but pretty dashed at

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 5: that point in time. And you needed to win your

18
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 5: final four games, very doable, by the way, to get

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 5: into the playoffs as long as.

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: Philly lost twice.

21
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 5: Well, now we've gotten to the point where it's not mathematical,

22
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 5: but the Philadelphia Eagles magic number to win the NFC

23
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 5: East and back to back years for the first time

24
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 5: since two thousand and three. In two thousand and four

25
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 5: is now down to one. It takes one more Philly

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 5: win or one more Cowboys win in order or Cowboys

27
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 5: loss rather in order to see the division go to Philadelphia.

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 5: So with that we welcome you into Talking Cowboys presented

29
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 5: by Black Rifle Coffee Company, live from the Star in Frisco,

30
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 5: Texas in the SWBC studios alongside Patrick and OC Walker

31
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 5: Josh Rodriguez, Isaiah Stanback Chrispium in the back of Kyle

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 5: Yewman's Cowboys lose to the Minnesota Vikings thirty four twenty six,

33
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 5: the final as Minnesota team that's been beat.

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: Battered and bruised.

35
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 5: But we talked about it over the course of the

36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 5: entire five shows last week. This was not a team

37
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 5: to take lightly, even if they don't have a quarterback

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 5: that they feel pretty confident in. But this is a

39
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 5: talented team and they showed it and Dallas did not

40
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 5: show that they are talented team.

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 6: Forever the get right game. Cowboys are forever the get

42
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 6: right game. I good grief, Charlie Brown.

43
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 7: I'd argue we took them pretty lightly.

44
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 3: I'd argue that.

45
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 8: I'd argue now, aspects of the team, I think we

46
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 8: took pretty lightly, mainly JJ McCarthy and no, but we

47
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 8: did allude to the fact that if he needed a

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 8: get right game, it would be against the Dallas Cowboys defense,

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 8: and unfortunately that came to fruition yet again, the Dallas

50
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 8: Cowboys defense was a get right game for one of the.

51
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 7: Lower tier quarterbacks in the league.

52
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 8: And you find yourself now in a position where you

53
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 8: are playing for.

54
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 9: Pride.

55
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 8: I mean that that's as best as you can do

56
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 8: because you to be a draft pick. One percent, I

57
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 8: believe is it's literally one percent chance to get in

58
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 8: the playoffs. And according to multiple sources, that is not good.

59
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 9: That is not chance. Check your sources, buddy, Yeah, no.

60
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 7: Is the math Mathing pat mathis.

61
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 6: Unfortunately the math is Mathing started off well, that was fun.

62
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 6: You know, you got the on the first offensive drive

63
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 6: for the Vikings. You get the safety blitz by Dono,

64
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 6: got his hands up in the passing lane, tip drill

65
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 6: Quentinn Williams. Hey, look what I found right only the

66
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 6: second I t in Quentinn Williams career for since twenty

67
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 6: twenty three.

68
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 9: That was fun.

69
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 6: Cowboys did something that they hadn't been doing these past

70
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 6: few games.

71
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 9: On their first offensive drive. Uh, they made it down to.

72
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 6: Them only they scored the football on the one yard

73
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 6: touchdown by Javonte Williams and.

74
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 9: We were off. We were like, okay, all right, you

75
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 9: start a game.

76
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 6: There we go fast start Huh unfortunately no, no, yeah,

77
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 6: fast start, slow, remainder red zone. We failed red zone

78
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 6: trip after red zone trip. Even when you sniffed to

79
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 6: the red zone you were just outside of it.

80
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 9: Failed that. Yeah, Brandon Aubrey missed two field goals. Don't care.

81
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 6: You know, I don't care because Brandon Aubrey has accounted

82
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 6: for in the past two games almost fifty percent of

83
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 6: your offense.

84
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: Yep.

85
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 6: Your defense over these past two games, like I said,

86
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 6: after looking great over a three game span, including against

87
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 6: the Chiefs and the Eagles, and you know, within four

88
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 6: days of each other, uh, fell back apart. And then

89
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 6: your offense feels broken, broken.

90
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 9: And that I was. I was muggling that coming into

91
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 9: this game.

92
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 6: But I was like, no, no, you pickings, He'll bounce back,

93
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 6: will get Detroit.

94
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: But maybe that was just Detroit.

95
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 9: Maybe that's maybe tough game. Yeah.

96
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 6: Now after seeing this, now now the offense is broken,

97
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 6: that's rough. So your defense is yeah, so right, So

98
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 6: your defense is playing very ungreat and not the defensive line.

99
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 6: Defensive line Quentinn Kenny Kenny was murdering, guys, Oh my goodness,

100
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 6: your secondary, your linebacker corps outside of the Marvion overshown,

101
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 6: and now your offense looks very not great. So I

102
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 6: sat the Kant having a bounce back game though, but.

103
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 9: Again, when you're when you're kicker.

104
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 6: Over the past two games, fifteen points in Detroit, twelve

105
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 6: points would have.

106
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 9: Been what eighteen would have been? Eighteen he made.

107
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 6: Those two, you still would have lost by two all

108
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 6: things considered, So yeah, you can't be getting outscored by

109
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 6: your kicker.

110
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 10: Man.

111
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 9: One percent was so freaking cooked. Were talking above.

112
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, I saying, just frustration, mainly frustration because at

113
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 4: least I can speak to us in this room. Right,

114
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 4: we break down it, We broke down the film. We

115
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: sat here, we told you. I think we all said

116
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: that Dallas was going to win. I felt that I

117
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 4: felt strongly about Dallas's ability to win the game because

118
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: I I knew where the dangers were, and you felt

119
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: as if Dallas was going to know where the dangers were.

120
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 4: And that doesn't necessarily make it much easier to handle.

121
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: But you just felt I'm speaking offensively in particular right now.

122
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 4: I felt as if the offense would have had a

123
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 4: better game plan. I felt like I was encouraged on

124
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 4: the first series when I seen Dak's first drop back

125
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 4: and I see Jamonte Williams line up in the A

126
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: gap to protect and I'm like, Oh, they're on here

127
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 4: we go, They're on it. And then that didn't occur.

128
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: At least I have to go back and continue watching

129
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 4: the film. I didn't see much more of that, and

130
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 4: it was almost as if they went back to a

131
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 4: game plan that wasn't created for their opponent.

132
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 9: You know, you know what I'm saying.

133
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: It was almost like they grabbed a game plan that

134
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: was from another week. It was like, let's run that

135
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: this week, as if they didn't know the issues that

136
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 4: were evident and being presented by their opponent.

137
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 9: Well, it's not like you had a mini buy to prepare.

138
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: The time was there, film was there, Like the Minnesota

139
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: doesn't change week the week. Minnesota is what they are defensively.

140
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 4: You know, Brian Flores is Brian Flores. He's a great

141
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator. As I said earlier in the week, and

142
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: it's got to report it's easy.

143
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 9: On his side of the ball. They make it really easy.

144
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: It's very difficult for you offensively, right, but you have

145
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 4: to make some business decisions. You're either going to squeeze

146
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 4: your offensive line and protect the interior, or you're gonna

147
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: fan out and somebody's gonna be free on the edge, right,

148
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: Like it's just one of the choices. And I just

149
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: felt like Dallas was seemingly caught off guard by this

150
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 4: scheme that has never changed. You can go back to

151
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: all his years of coaching. It's always been the same

152
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 4: type of defense. So you would have thought that you

153
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: would have had something better than what I told Kyle said.

154
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 4: They're baiting you to run slants. Yeah, run slants. They're

155
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: daring you to keep it. They did it early in

156
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 4: the game, and they didn't do it the rest of

157
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: the year. Yeah, they're like, keep trying, keep trying to

158
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 4: run slants. We're gonna sit in a two high shell.

159
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: We talked about that. We're gonna sit in the a gaps,

160
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 4: six guys across the line of scrimmage.

161
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 9: We talked about that.

162
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're gonna sit in there on the cornerback's

163
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: gonna sit on the inside shade of the shoulder of

164
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: your receivers and say, I bet you can't get on

165
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: the interior because we know that the open the middle

166
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 4: of the field is vulnerable. We talked about that, but

167
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 4: yet we didn't see any strategy seemingly for the Dallas

168
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 4: Cowboys to conquer that. Early on, we saw Javonti williamstep

169
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 4: in an eight gap. Early on, we saw Jake Ferguson

170
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 4: lining up detached right, but there was nothing, seemingly, nothing

171
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: that was down the middle. You knew Dak was gonna

172
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 4: be challenged for time. You knew that the middle of

173
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: the field was going to be open. You can't continue

174
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: to beat your head against the wall with something that

175
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 4: is not built to take to take.

176
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 9: On what they were presenting. And that's just the offensive side.

177
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

178
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 5: I remember looking at Barry Church on two separate occasions

179
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 5: and with the way that the game was going in

180
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 5: the first quarter, telling him I said, this thing's over.

181
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 3: It's Dallas is about to boat race Minnesota. Because I did.

182
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: I thought they were the better team.

183
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 5: I thought as long as they got off to a

184
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 5: quick start, which I knew was gonna be tough. I

185
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 5: even said it on one O five three the Fan

186
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 5: on Friday, I said, it's going to be a frustrating

187
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 5: first half because of the way they're going to read,

188
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 5: the defense, they're going to get going, and all of

189
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 5: those things I thought played a factor early. But I

190
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 5: still thought because of the interception and the immediate touchdown

191
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 5: to start the game seven to nothing, bank just like that,

192
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 5: I was like, oh man, this is about to be

193
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 5: a blowout. I was like Dallas about to take care

194
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 5: of business. But they never just got grasp of it.

195
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 5: They never just took over because even after a stop,

196
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 5: then they give it right, and then Minnesota goes down

197
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 5: and scores, right. They score with two minutes left in

198
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 5: the first quarter, and it's seven to seven. Okay, fine, cool,

199
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 5: you go down, you score, you go up fourteen to seven,

200
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 5: and then Minnesota immediately answers.

201
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: And the second time I said it to him was when.

202
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 5: JJ McCarthy danced into the end zone into it, and

203
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 5: I'm like, all right, Jj, if you're Josh Allen.

204
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: You can do that. If you're Joe Burrow, you can

205
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: do that. But you have more interceptions than you do

206
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: passing touchdowns.

207
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 5: Why are you dancing into the end zone, and I

208
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 5: thought that would be enough of a disrespect from a

209
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 5: defense that has played wells since the post buy with

210
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 5: the exception of Detroit, I thought at that point in time,

211
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 5: I was like, they're not going to score again. I

212
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 5: think if I was on that defense, I would have

213
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 5: been poed. I would have been completely angry at what

214
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 5: just happened. Because you're JJ McCarthy right now. You don't

215
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 5: have the ability to do that yet. You can maybe

216
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 5: if you end up living up to the top ten hype,

217
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 5: sure do that down the line, but right now you

218
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 5: have eleven interceptions and nine touchdowns.

219
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: You shouldn't be doing that.

220
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 5: Instead of that, Dallas never actually crossed the goal line

221
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 5: again on the offensive side, and their defense, though they

222
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 5: tried their best on a couple of occasions, couldn't stop

223
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 5: the passing attack and the weapons on the outside that

224
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 5: we talked so much about last week, Jordan Addison justin Jefferson.

225
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 9: They shut down Jefferson.

226
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 5: Okay, fair, and even with that being said, he had

227
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 5: multiple touchdown grabs that were overthrown to him and he

228
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: should have had about eighty more yards.

229
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: So they did shut him.

230
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: Down on the box missed. But oh my god, Ja McCarthy,

231
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 4: that's true.

232
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 5: There were two throws that Patrick Nosey Walker could have

233
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 5: made from that with no warm up whatsoever.

234
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: And all yeah, elbow surgery. I don't care.

235
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 5: With all that being said, there were multiple opportunities for

236
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 5: you to take charge of that football game and you didn't,

237
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 5: and that takes That's what's more disconcerning than me is

238
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 5: because they're trying to build this culture. They're trying to

239
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 5: build this team, even if it doesn't result in playoffs

240
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 5: this year, you want them to build in the right

241
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 5: direction toward twenty twenty six.

242
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty seven.

243
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 5: Because you have multiple draft picks, you have a young

244
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 5: core of guys, and you're probably gonna spend some money

245
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,599
Speaker 5: to either bring some guys back in free agency or

246
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 5: go spend in free agency for the second straight offseason.

247
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: So you want to build in the right direction. They

248
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: didn't do that.

249
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 5: Instead, I thought they took a massive step back over

250
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 5: these last two weeks. They got out physicaled against Detroit.

251
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 5: That's gonna happen. It's a coach Campbell led team. Dan

252
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 5: Campbell wants to out physical you. That's the whole game plan.

253
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 5: But you got beat down and out physical by the

254
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 5: Minnesota Vikings who were five and five and eight coming

255
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 5: into the game. That's unacceptable in my opinion, and that's

256
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 5: where I'm more disappointed across the board in this football team.

257
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 3: I thought you had a chance to win that game.

258
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: You were the better team, and you just didn't do it.

259
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 8: Kyle absolutely cooked just now totally in agreement. And it's

260
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 8: disappointing because you got punked. Really yeah, JJ McCarthy punked you.

261
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 9: That's your own chick homy.

262
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 7: Seriously, that should be the worst of it all.

263
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 8: And that's a team playing for nothing that you would

264
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 8: argue that their fan base is like, you know what,

265
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 8: I kind of hope we play tough and a lot.

266
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 5: Of this game because they were loud in the stadium

267
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,239
Speaker 5: and see at home the skull to the stadium.

268
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 8: That is so disappointing in a team versus a team

269
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 8: that is playing for their their lives, playing for the

270
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 8: future of the season and the team, and they have

271
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 8: a chance in that moment to put away this game

272
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 8: and then like but now you're looking at like the Chargers,

273
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 8: You're like, hop, come on, man, what are we gonna

274
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 8: It doesn't sit.

275
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 7: Right with me that you were out coached.

276
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 8: By this team. I don't think the coaching staff helped

277
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 8: you in many ways like Isaiah was alluding to, I

278
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 8: don't think that the game plan was great necessarily for

279
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 8: the Minnesota Vikings. And a lot of the things that

280
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 8: Isaiah brought up on Wednesday and Thursday came to fruition

281
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 8: over this week because I mean, you saw a lot

282
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 8: of the pressure coming up the middle, which is exactly

283
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 8: what Isaiah was talking about, and just over and over

284
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 8: again the things that we were alluding to. It just

285
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 8: seemed like the defense didn't have a good grasp on

286
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 8: how they're going to attack you when it was clear

287
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 8: from just us watching it. And you know, these are

288
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 8: professional coaches, we're talking about professional players, and my goodness,

289
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 8: I mean you look at performances of Kenneth Murray and like,

290
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 8: granted we saw marys Leaf out in the field, a

291
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 8: guy that we've been wanting to see have more of

292
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 8: an impact on defense, that didn't necessarily have a great game.

293
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 8: Kenneth Murray had had a really, really bad game. Your

294
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 8: secondary is questionable right now just across the board. Granted

295
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 8: they were able to shut down justin Jefferson like you said,

296
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 8: but there were just a lot of instances where J. J.

297
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 8: McCarthy wastistically down, was not that guy to get in

298
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 8: the ball, and a better quarterback would have looked like

299
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 8: Tom Brady against you.

300
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: It would have been really.

301
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 4: Put this out there, like I know, there's gonna be

302
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 4: a lot of people that push back, said, well, Jefferson

303
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: two yards receiving. Listen, I'm saying tis particularly they held

304
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 4: him down. To Kyle's point, he should have had well

305
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 4: over one hundred yards receiving. Absolutely, there were two throws

306
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 4: that I remember. One of them would have been.

307
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 5: A touchdown, been a touchdown, and there's there might have

308
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 5: been one more in there.

309
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 9: There's two touchdowns that absolutely he could have.

310
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 5: He could have had four receptions for one hundred yards

311
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 5: and two touchdown.

312
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 9: Yeah.

313
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's exactly what you guys are saying,

314
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 6: but specifically what Kyle is saying, and this is why

315
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 6: it's so disconcerting and disappointing. Also, Melvin, I know you

316
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 6: having fun, but we still believe in Javante.

317
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 9: Davante did what he could.

318
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 7: Was great second half man.

319
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 4: He went out the game. I want people to give

320
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: credit a credit to Yes, he got put out the game.

321
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: Shoulder could have easily just said handle it.

322
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 9: No, no, no, no. He wanted to he wanted to smoke whatever.

323
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: Hey, whatever they did to him, allow for him to

324
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 4: come back, and today he's gonna be hurting today.

325
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 9: But he wanted that. He wanted to come back in

326
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 9: the game and play through it.

327
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 5: And how much did that offense stall in the second

328
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 5: quarter when he was exactly it was not the same offense.

329
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, But what's disconcerting and disappointing about it is which

330
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 6: culture that's the word culture, culture, culture? Which version are

331
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 6: we looking at? Okay, so you're down twenty one.

332
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 9: Zero against the Philadelphia Eagles.

333
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 6: Man to mount that comeback, that was great Injumption Cahonia's marbles.

334
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: That's all the things.

335
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 9: Yes, it was.

336
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 6: You were aggressive, you were balls to the wall. You

337
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 6: were just like, we're going.

338
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 9: To take it. Period.

339
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 6: You did it four games later against Patrick Mahomes and

340
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 6: at the time, the Kansas City Chiefs they're going to

341
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 6: figure out a way to make the playoffs, etcetera, etcetera.

342
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 6: You go and you take it from Patrick Mahomes and

343
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 6: the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, all right, Then you go

344
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 6: to Detroit you get out physical. Yeah you hate that,

345
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 6: but okay, Detroit, hell comes Minnesota. This is the bounce

346
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 6: back game, right, You got to get this back, right man,

347
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 6: From the lack of physicality to being just rapidly out coached,

348
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 6: to the lack of aggressiveness in the red zone and

349
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 6: things like this is just like you are you waving

350
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 6: the white flag? Like at certain points in the game,

351
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 6: I felt, are you settling for these field goals?

352
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 9: Correct me if I'm wrong, Kyle Yeomans.

353
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 6: We've had the conversation about you have this weapon at kicker,

354
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 6: depend what's the danger of that is because you start

355
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 6: to rely and you say, well, all I have to

356
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 6: do is get.

357
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 9: Across the fifty. Got three. We've said that before, right,

358
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 9: Stop doing that.

359
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 6: You need to pretend that your kicker sucks, even though

360
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 6: he's the best kicker in the league. Pretend he sucks

361
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 6: because if you do that, psychologically, you're going to try

362
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 6: to score the football on every drive, as opposed to, oh,

363
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 6: we got across the fifty, let's pull it back a

364
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 6: little bit and not take some shots and risks. You're

365
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 6: not in the position to have that kind of a

366
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 6: of a play calling stretch. You were in a situation

367
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 6: where you had to run the table. You needed a

368
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 6: bounce back game. You got off to a fast start.

369
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 6: Go at him, CDs there, George is there, Jake is there,

370
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 6: Javonte when he was in and then he came back.

371
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 6: You know you had your weapons were there. You were

372
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 6: getting Cavante Turpin involved in offense outside of his mistake

373
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 6: on special teams that pinned you against your own field

374
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 6: end zone. That was the one mistake becauther than that.

375
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 6: Cavante Turpin was helping you flip field position with his returns.

376
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 6: Why are you getting across the fifty and suddenly just

377
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 6: taking your foot off.

378
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 9: Of the accelerator.

379
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 6: So you had credit to credit to Shaddy for absolutely

380
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 6: saying the quiet part out loud.

381
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 9: Ryan floor Is out coached him yesterday.

382
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 7: He said it.

383
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 3: That other guy Kevin, Kevin O'Connell, he's a dude, man.

384
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 6: He took eber Fluse out back. We said this though, right,

385
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 6: We sent him to within an inch of is life.

386
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 9: I know we gotta go to break.

387
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 4: But like everything that we're talking about right now, the

388
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 4: reason why we're disappointed, and I talked to my wife

389
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 4: about this all the time, Like the word disappointed could

390
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 4: only come about when you have expectations that are unmat Yeah. Yeah,

391
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 4: Like I can only be disappointed if I have an

392
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 4: expectation that you don't meet. So the things we're talking about,

393
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 4: we sat here and said, I le I know, I

394
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 4: sat here and said, this is the third most talented

395
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 4: team that you were going to face all season a long,

396
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 4: that you've had faced all season long. Right, their coaching

397
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 4: staff on both sides is absolutely amazing. Off as a coordinator,

398
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 4: you know, Kevin o'cn to get.

399
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 3: That thing right. Listen, it's gonna be good there.

400
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: And we said, if McCarthy wakes up and on that

401
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 4: game day and decides that he's going to have a

402
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 4: good day, you're in a world of trouble. And he

403
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 4: had an okay game and you were in a world

404
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: of trouble. Yeah, he had an okay game. Can he

405
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 4: missed some throws and you still lost? And like that's

406
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 4: why I'm disappointed, because they didn't present anything that you

407
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: didn't expect.

408
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought this whole game plan was tabbed from

409
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 5: the beginning from people outside the building. Why was it

410
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 5: not tabbed from people inside the building. Again, you also

411
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 5: think about it too. We talked about it early in

412
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 5: the season Week three against the Chicago Bears. You've got

413
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 5: Maddi Riflus, who, of course was a head coach in

414
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 5: the NFC North and has familiarity. That should be to

415
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 5: his benefit, that should be to his ability to game

416
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 5: plan around these teams. But now you've faced all four

417
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 5: NFC North teams. You went three to one.

418
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: Against those teams, and it's not good. And it hasn't

419
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: been good.

420
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 5: You got blown out by the Bears, you got blown

421
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 5: out by the Lions, you got handled by the Vikings,

422
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 5: and you tied the Packers and you still gave up

423
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 5: forty points on the guy that was supposed to know

424
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 5: what to do on that team. So lots of things

425
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 5: to break down. I want to go, Josh, I'll let

426
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 5: you choose offense defense.

427
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 9: When we come back.

428
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 7: Let's go offense.

429
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 5: Let's go offense. Let's stick on the offensive side of

430
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 5: the ball when we come back. Cowboys lose to the

431
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 5: Kings thirty four to twenty six. More talking Cowboys right

432
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 5: after this.

433
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 11: Every day begins with a promise, a promise to work

434
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,440

Speaker 5: again this Sunday, and then again on Christmas.

481
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're open Christmas.

482
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 5: We'll see, but might ask, Yeah, we will be working,

483
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 5: we'll be open.

484
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 3: That's something to do that day.

485
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 5: Man, that game, that's a different conversation. But when the

486
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 5: NFL scheduled that game for Christmas, you guarantee, Oh, Cowboys

487
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 5: got a new head coach, they got some talent in town.

488
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 5: George Pickens is probably going to be pretty good this year.

489
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 5: Maybe they'll be contending for the division. Washington's coming off

490
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 5: of an NFC title game appearance last year, this is

491
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 5: going to be a juggernaut matchup.

492
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 3: At one o'clock on Christmas.

493
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 5: It's just and then now you're like, oh, both teams

494
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 5: have been eliminated from playoff contention possibly and it's Christmas

495
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 5: and everybody at FedEx, all right, Let's talk about the offense.

496
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 5: When you look at the way that it is stalled

497
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 5: on multiple occasions these last couple of weeks, especially against Detroit,

498
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 5: especially against the Vikings, Josh, where is your number one

499
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 5: area of concern for the offense?

500
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 8: Off tackle? Just offensive tackle in general? To me, the

501
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 8: production is just not there for Dak Prescott right now.

502
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 8: He doesn't have enough time And I mean looking even

503
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 8: at his passer rating he had. He didn't throw first

504
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 8: touchdown yesterday, which is a rare site for Dak Prescott,

505
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 8: but eighty four eighty four point eight percent of passer rating.

506
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 8: It's just not great for Dak to not have that

507
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 8: much time. And granted we were talking about the pressure

508
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 8: that was coming up the middle, but the tackles weren't

509
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 8: helping him either. I mean, of course Nate Thomas goes out,

510
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 8: I believe that was a second half right when he.

511
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 6: Goes out, Yeah, it was second d and then it

512
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 6: came with energy came in and he's strung, got a

513
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 6: holding call.

514
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, it wasn't great, But you just don't see the

515
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 8: offensive line clicking on any sort of chemistry at all.

516
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 8: I mean, the one thing that they had going for

517
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 8: was the running game, which coaching decided to back off

518
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 8: of in the second half when Javonte Williams was looking

519
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 8: like a beast out there after coming back from the injury,

520
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 8: and then between the twenties, it's like, all right, let's

521
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 8: believe in Javante, but not when we get back into

522
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 8: the red zone.

523
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 7: I mean, but you showed that in the first quarter.

524
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 8: Like the first quarter, you saw that you could just

525
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 8: run five times in a row, you're going to get

526
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 8: that touchdowns.

527
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 7: I mean, to me, it's just a lack of belief

528
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 7: in what the running game can do.

529
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 8: But overall, I just think the chemistries is not there

530
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 8: right now, and I don't know how that works when

531
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 8: you have Cede Lamb and George Pickens out there. Jack ferguson,

532
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 8: my gosh, I mean, just overall, what a terrible game

533
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 8: for the offense. And blind Brian Flores is a big

534
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 8: part to do with that because they he was out

535
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 8: coached Sturmer was yesterday.

536
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 6: I mean, I think you're set at wide receiver, especially

537
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 6: if you keep Pickings around. And you know how I

538
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 6: feel about Flinoy as your WR three. You liked a

539
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 6: little bit, okay, a little bit, a little bit freaking player.

540
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 7: He was doing things yesterday for.

541
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 6: He was I really loved the potential on Brevin span

542
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 6: Ford also shouts out to Brevan span Ford early in

543
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 6: that game. There's a particular team, there's a particular block

544
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 6: that Brevin span Ford did to clear a lane for

545
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 6: Javonte Williams.

546
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 9: That was special stuff, is what that was? Yeah, solid, Yeah.

547
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 6: Jake ferguson the way he battled through that calf injury

548
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 6: to make some plays for schoons by school schooon with.

549
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 9: The one hand. Oh okay, hey, more of that police.

550
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 4: Shout out to the schoon Like seriously, I've been you

551
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 4: guys know I'm a straight shooter. I've been tough on school.

552
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 4: Yeah I was. I was not like we all have

553
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 4: been tough on school. And I respect the heck out

554
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 4: of him because he's put the work in and you

555
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 4: can see it. Like his blocking game. We talked blocking

556
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 4: game is taking his huge blocker game, and it's more so.

557
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 4: It wasn't always. It was never a physical ability. He's

558
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 4: a physical specimen.

559
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what he was out of Michigan wimination.

560
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 4: It was a willing determination and he has flipped the

561
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 4: switch in terms of like willingness to block, and then

562
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 4: you've seen what he can do yesterday with the ability

563
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 4: to catch.

564
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 9: Well, I think he's going to be a solid tight

565
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 9: end that.

566
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 8: I think there was more confidence in his game this yes,

567
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 8: that he didn't have in years, pretty sure, And I

568
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 8: don't know if the McCarthy era of coaching necessarily set

569
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 8: him up for that. I feel like now he has

570
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 8: more of a say in his role in the offense,

571
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 8: and at least for me. Yesterday you saw that glimpse

572
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 8: that catch.

573
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 6: In the shaking Baker looked a little bit like a

574
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 6: moves trying to you know, you know, but he was

575
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 6: out there doing it. So shouts out to keep that

576
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 6: going school and love to see it. But just by

577
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 6: the process of elimination, position to position, running back, keep

578
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 6: Javonte Malie Davis is showing some good things. Still want

579
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 6: to see what you can have from Jaden Blue. I

580
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 6: need to see Phil MafA. Maybe add another one late

581
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 6: round undrafted, you know, in April at that position, see

582
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 6: how it goes. But process of elimination, I land right

583
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 6: where Josh lands. Your offensive interior Tyler Smith is Tyler Smith,

584
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 6: I like Cooper BB. Tyler Booker is an animal. Were

585
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 6: the weak spots left tackle, right tackle? Tyler Gouydon availability,

586
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 6: I said this availability. I don't doubt his potential. The

587
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 6: availability makes me nervous. He has to stay on the

588
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 6: field for long stretches of time, which is fair. Right,

589
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 6: he wasn't available. Nate Thomas goes in. I have concerns

590
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 6: about Nate Thomas and then he gets injured. Now you

591
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 6: have a chemodenergy, so you have it looks like you

592
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 6: have a death issue on top of trying to figure

593
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 6: out your tackle left and right side right. So yeah,

594
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 6: for me is tackle like you gotta you gotta figure

595
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 6: that out.

596
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 8: And I hate that we might need to go into

597
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 8: the draft yet again with another offensive lineman in the

598
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 8: first round.

599
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 7: Gran did you have two?

600
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 9: She got two? Piece?

601
00:28:58,960 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 7: You have two picks?

602
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 8: At least you can address the defense in some capacity, sure,

603
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 8: but I hate that you've invested so much in the

604
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 8: offensive line and here we are yet again needing to

605
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 8: probably address it again real quickly.

606
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 5: The one thing there, too, is in the past. If

607
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 5: you look at the track record for the Cowboys in

608
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 5: you could say first or day one, but you could

609
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 5: also say day two and day three as well. But

610
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 5: when they've been pigeonholed into a position of need is

611
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 5: when they've missed on their draft picks.

612
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 3: Defensive tackle Mazzie Smith.

613
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 5: There's one check the second round picks where they've had

614
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 5: to spin them on tight end and Luke Schoomaker, I

615
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 5: hate calling him a miss, but has he lived up

616
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 5: to the second round. That's the one thing that's knocking

617
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 5: right now is that if Schoomaker was a fourth or

618
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 5: fifth round pick, and you're like, oh, dude, this guy's

619
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 5: a steal.

620
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 3: This is awesome, But it was a second round pick.

621
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 5: Same thing with Sam Williams, Same thing with a couple

622
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 5: of those other guys where they've been pigeonholed into taking

623
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 5: a guy at a certain spot. So even though you

624
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 5: do have two first round picks, and you just went

625
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 5: through the math, you don't need a quarterback. You don't

626
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 5: need a running back, you don't need a tight end,

627
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 5: you don't need interior offensive lineman.

628
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 3: You probably don't need a wide receiver.

629
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 5: As long as you bring back George Pickens on offense,

630
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 5: where are you gonna spend your pick. You're gonna spend

631
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 5: it in one spot, and it would be offensive tackle.

632
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 5: The one place you're not pigeonholed is left or right.

633
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 5: You can go draft either one of those, because if

634
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 5: you want to move on from Terrence Steele, you can

635
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 5: put Tyler guid in the right back and right tackle

636
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 5: and draft the left tackle, or you could keep Tyler

637
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 5: gutting the left tackle, go draft a right tackle. You're

638
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 5: not pigeonholed there. But it's getting to the point where

639
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 5: you are set in certain positions, and I'm worried that

640
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 5: when we get to draft day, they won't go best

641
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 5: player available with those two first round picks. Instead, they're

642
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 5: going to try and fill their voids that they have

643
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 5: on the roster.

644
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 4: At the moment, Where are you guys most disappointed position

645
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 4: group wise on this team? Would it be the linebacker,

646
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 4: Would it be yes defensive backs, or would it be

647
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 4: the offense as a line this season?

648
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 3: Mine would be the linebackers because.

649
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 5: I was I was appointed, Yeah, because I had expectations

650
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 5: going in to the year and even saw some things

651
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 5: early where I felt where I felt like this linebacking

652
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 5: crew would be fine as to what they were. I

653
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 5: really liked the group that they brought in. I liked

654
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 5: the moves that they made, and now I don't. Yeah,

655
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 5: I don't like the moves. I don't think there's a

656
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 5: future there, and I don't think there's there's a lot

657
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 5: that you can do in one I mean, you can

658
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 5: revamp the whole thing in one offseason, but it's not

659
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 5: going to just be one move to fix it all.

660
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to upend the room.

661
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 6: Well, what also is concerning there is and I agree

662
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 6: it is linebackers. But I think it's both a personnel

663
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 6: issue the acquisition of like Kenneth Murray in the offseason

664
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 6: at the trade downline with Logan Wilson, you're not utilizing him,

665
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 6: and then you utilize him. You know, he didn't look great.

666
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 6: Maybe you get them more rips and he could look better.

667
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 6: But that goes to the thing I'm about to say.

668
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,959
Speaker 6: You have to look at the coordinator and the position

669
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 6: coach as well. Those two things cannot be divorced in

670
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 6: this conversation. When you talk about culture and shot, he

671
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 6: says a lot. When you know it's a team of competition, competition, competition, Well,

672
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 6: when you see Kenneth Murray time and again struggling the

673
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 6: way he has been struggling, why it takes so long

674
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 6: to you know, decide, well, okay, well we're gonna go

675
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 6: with Logan Wilson. Okay, Well, even before the Logan Wilson

676
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 6: trade him, before Tomarrey on Overshown was available, still didn't

677
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 6: necessarily see that competition thing come to fruition at the

678
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 6: linebacker position because you had Jack Sanborne who was struggling, right,

679
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 6: So it's like there's certain positions where that was true

680
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 6: more so on defense than on the offensive side of

681
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 6: the ball. So for me, you know, we can talk

682
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 6: about the struggles of Kenneth Murray and we talk about

683
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 6: the struggles of Jack Sanborne when he was healthy.

684
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 9: Yeah you can.

685
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 6: You can do all of those things, but make sure

686
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 6: when you're having that conversation that you also talk.

687
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 9: About how important it is to.

688
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 6: Understand when it's time to adapt and adjust and look

689
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 6: at a guy and say, you know what, I know.

690
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 9: I brought you in as my guy, but look.

691
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 6: Here, my guy. All right, but look here, my guy.

692
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 6: It's not working out right now. So let's move on

693
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 6: to something else. And you just you didn't see that

694
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 6: often enough or early enough for the Cowboys.

695
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 5: I want to hear Josh's answer in Isaiah's answer to

696
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 5: that question on the other side of the break as

697
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 5: we flipped it to the defensive side of the ball

698
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 5: in the thirty four to twenty six loss to Minnesota.

699
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 5: Plus that stat I gave you earlier three and one

700
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 5: this year against the NFC North, I got a little

701
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 5: something extra to spring on top of that. Let's talk

702
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 5: about that stats at all, And it may not be

703
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 5: when we come back right after this with more talking

757
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 3: Uh, three and one against the NFC North.

758
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 5: Would you like to hear how many points we've allowed

759
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 5: in each of those games, which in GB it's not good.

760
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 5: So forty points of course against the Green Bay Packers.

761
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 5: They also gave a thirty one against the Bears. You

762
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 5: gave up a whopping forty four against the Detroit Lions,

763
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 5: and then thirty four against the Minnesota Vikings.

764
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 9: I'm not grit at now, can you add that up?

765
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 3: I not that quick, but it's not a lot. Get

766
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 3: you a nun all right?

767
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 9: It is a lot.

768
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 5: I mean that's a lot of points allowed by a

769
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 5: defensive coordinator that seemingly should know.

770
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 7: That seems very division.

771
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not. I don't like those works.

772
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 9: I read those numbers again.

773
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 3: Please, I don't like this.

774
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 9: I don't need our scores just there's though.

775
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, So forty hu thirty one, forty four thirty four

776
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 5: that is a whopping.

777
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 3: Divided by four.

778
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I just did. It's like, did you

779
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 4: like to be close seven point twenty five?

780
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 9: I was close? Thirty seven I was. That's a thirty

781
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 9: seven point average.

782
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 3: Against that division. It's a tough division, it's a good division.

783
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 7: So you would have to score more than thirty seven

784
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 7: in each of those games.

785
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 9: That's to have a shot on average one.

786
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 5: Yes, that's a good reason, all right, even for this offense.

787
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 5: Man Isaiah asked the question, what part of this team

788
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 5: are you disappointed? Have you been most disappointed in your

789
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 5: expectations to start the year, Josh, I want to hear

790
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 5: your answer.

791
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 8: Well, according to your definition of disappointment, yes, there has

792
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 8: to be an expectation.

793
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 7: Correct, you have for that position?

794
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 9: Right?

795
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 8: I liked what you guys said about linebackers. Obviously that's

796
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 8: a very disappointing aspect of the team, but as far

797
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 8: as my expectations go and how they performed, it has

798
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 8: to be offensive line. The chemistry has just not been

799
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 8: there consistently enough throughout the season. Even when you did

800
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 8: have Tyler Gotton in there, there were games where he

801
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 8: got beat and quite often. It's not a perfect fix.

802
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 8: It's not like the Eagles missing Lane Johnson. It has

803
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 8: just been inconsistent from beginning to end this entire season.

804
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 8: For me, that is something that, like I said, it's

805
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 8: frustrating that yet again another offseason where you feel like

806
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 8: you need to address offensive line when you've had so

807
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 8: much stock and value put into that already and now

808
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 8: needing to address it again.

809
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 7: It's just it's disheartening.

810
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 4: It's a hard decision for me between offensive line and

811
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 4: defensive backs. Linebackers would come in third for me because

812
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 4: I didn't have high expectations of that group.

813
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 5: See I felt that way about the back They're the

814
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 5: defensive backs, well.

815
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 7: At least your highest paid defensive players on the field, right.

816
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 9: I didn't have high expectations of him, though.

817
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 4: I say offensive line for the same reasons that he's

818
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 4: been healthy.

819
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's been healthy.

820
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 4: I'll say the offensive line for the same reasons that

821
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 4: you did. Coming into the season, you felt pretty dog

822
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 4: unconfident about that unit.

823
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 7: Especially as an improvement over the season.

824
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 4: Prom Absolutely, you understood that Tyler guydon needed it that year, right,

825
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 4: and you're trying to give him opportunity to have some

826
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 4: growth underneath him, and you're anticipating him coming in and being.

827
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 9: A solid left tackle for you.

828
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 4: You anticipated Terrence still continue to be Terrence still, you know,

829
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 4: I mean not necessarily. It as like being crazy amazing,

830
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 4: you know, but somebody who's who's a solid right tax solid,

831
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 4: that's what I considered him to be, has grit, has

832
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 4: you know you can get after it, and he's going

833
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 4: to keep your quarterback clean and then your your two guards.

834
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 4: You know what you're going to get out of. At

835
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 4: least you knew what you're gonna get out of t

836
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 4: Smith right. Booker has been a great, a great addition.

837
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 4: I've always had my concerns about Bebe. I like him

838
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 4: as a person, I like him as a player, but

839
00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 4: I don't think he's a dominant center.

840
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 9: I just don't.

841
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 4: I think he's I think he's outmatched when you face

842
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 4: some of these more you know, dominant interior defensive lineman.

843
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 4: I just think that he is so. I think that's

844
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 4: an aspect of his game that he has to continue

845
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 4: to develop. The defensive back room. Reason why I argue

846
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 4: that point is because you expected Duran Bland to play

847
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 4: better than what he's playing. You expected Trayvon Diggs to

848
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 4: at least be present, even though there's questions I at

849
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 4: least personally had questions revolving around Yeah, I'll just say

850
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 4: I had questions revolving around Trayvon Diggs.

851
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 7: With the expectation that he was going to be on

852
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 7: this team.

853
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 9: App here is going to be on the field. Yes,

854
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 9: he's been.

855
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 4: He's been available since his contract extension for thirty percent

856
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 4: thirty percent of the games ninety seven million dollar contract.

857
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 4: I don't count people's money as public ninety seven million

858
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 4: dollars and you and I said this on CBS the

859
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 4: pregame Show yesterday. It's frustrating from a former player's perspective.

860
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 4: I never got to see that kind of money. I

861
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 4: never even sniffed that money. However, that is what you

862
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 4: fear as a player when guys get their big contracts.

863
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 4: It gives players a bad rap, It gives owners hesitation.

864
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 9: This is the example.

865
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 4: This is literally why owners are hesitant to give players money.

866
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 9: And I hate to say that, but it's the truth.

867
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 4: This type of availability, this type of leadership, this type

868
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 4: of approach.

869
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 9: To the game, just from what I see, don't know

870
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 9: just what I see.

871
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 4: Your perspective, my perspective from my little eyes at wander

872
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 4: at training camp and wander around the building and wander

873
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 4: on the dot com dot com. It's disheartening, man, it's

874
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 4: really disheartening. I expected more out of that unit. I

875
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 4: was still questioning, who's going to be the third guy.

876
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 4: You have a veteran safety unit that far underperformed. Yes,

877
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 4: they were being put into positions that weren't necessarily their

878
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 4: strong suits, but they're still veterans safeties. You expected them

879
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 4: to adapt. So I am torn between the O line

880
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 4: and the secondary. I was to have to lean more

881
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 4: towards OOR line because I think that that was the

882
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 4: more solid unit. But you're coming into the season, you

883
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 4: felt like you had two solid corners you do and

884
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 4: you felt like you had two safeties that were veterans

885
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 4: that can do whatever was going to be going to

886
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 4: be asked of them, of their new defensive coordinator.

887
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 9: Neither unit has been.

888
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 6: Great, and I know and I just saw it in

889
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 6: the comments. Someone it's like, well, you know, you could

890
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 6: have just paid Micah. We're not going down that road

891
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 6: because if you want to go down there, right, and

892
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 6: you still like I will say, if you want to

893
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 6: go down that road, then to Isaiah's point about the

894
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 6: defensive backs, then I'm going don't get mad at me

895
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 6: when I remind.

896
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 9: You that you should have kept Jordan Lewis.

897
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 3: Yep.

898
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 6: Not only was he one of your best corners and

899
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 6: one of the best corners in the league. Leader, he

900
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 6: was the tone set. He was the vocal leader in

901
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 6: that room. You removed that. And Deron Bland is not

902
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 6: the vocal leader.

903
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 9: That's not his bag. That's not what he does. Trayvon

904
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 9: Diggs is not a vocal leader. That's not what he does.

905
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 6: And then, of course you now see how things have

906
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 6: devolved between the Trayvon Diggs in the organization. Going back

907
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 6: to the whole you know the contract clause situation, right,

908
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 6: it's not been right since then. It got worse when

909
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 6: they traded Michaelway. You had all of this going on

910
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 6: in the defensive backs room, and you took the most

911
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 6: the stabilizing force the vocal leader, the physical tone setter,

912
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 6: the locker room guy, Gimbo, and you said we're not

913
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 6: We're not going to pay you.

914
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 9: Bad decision.

915
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 6: So all I'm saying is that absolutely plays into one

916
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 6: of the biggest reasons this defensive backs room has taken

917
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 6: a hugh step back the other one. In my opinion,

918
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 6: and I'm on the record of saying this, so I'll

919
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 6: say it again. You should have kept el Harrison the building,

920
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 6: point blank period. I'm not coming off that hill. Those

921
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 6: two things. Yes, those two guys walking out of this

922
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 6: building set you back monumentally in the defensive back qul.

923
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 5: I agree the other thing about the corners in the

924
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 5: defensive backs as well, And this is part of the

925
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 5: argument that we had going into the trade deadline.

926
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 3: Do you want an ed rusher? Do you want a

927
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 3: defensive tackle?

928
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 5: The moves that they've made to this point, adding Quinn Williams,

929
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 5: adding kenn and Clark have done exactly what they set

930
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 5: out to do, stop the run and be dominant at

931
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage.

932
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 3: They have done that.

933
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 5: Even yesterday in a loss, they allowed just seventy seven

934
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 5: yards rushing thirty four yards on twelve carries for Aaron

935
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 5: Jones who's traditionally run all over you. So you have

936
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 5: improved and become a solid run defense. And even last

937
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 5: week against Detroit they went over one hundred yards as

938
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 5: a group, but it wasn't just one unit that was

939
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 5: taking care of business. One thing that I will say

940
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 5: is when you have sold out to stop the run,

941
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 5: the way that this front office has and the way

942
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 5: that this team has, it's going to leave you vulnerable

943
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 5: in the secondary. And the lack of pass rush. I

944
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 5: think the pass rush initially last year hit a lot

945
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 5: of the problems in the secondary. I think it hit

946
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 5: a lot of the inconsistencies, hit a lot of the

947
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 5: discrepancies from your defensive backs. And now you're starting to

948
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 5: see it hit the limelight because you're not getting the

949
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 5: pressure that you normally would on the inside and with

950
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 5: that pass rush. So I think a lot of it

951
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 5: does go together and the secondaries having to adjust because

952
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 5: they have more time to cover and thus they're getting

953
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 5: beat But then there are certain plays where you and

954
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 5: I have talked about it in the booth last night,

955
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 5: where Doron Bland is getting beat off the line of scrimmage,

956
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 5: Kaylin Carson is getting beat off the lot off the

957
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage multiple times where you could win your

958
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 5: battle immediately. That's not on the pass rush, but there

959
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 5: are other ways that the past rush has affected things.

960
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 6: So I said this real quick, real quick, before you said.

961
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 6: Someone asked how Jodan Lewis is doing in Jacksonville. I

962
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 6: don't know if you're being for sious or not, but

963
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 6: let me tell you join Lewis has allowed just four

964
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 6: point seven yards per target and coverage the season, the

965
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 6: second fewest amongst slot cornerbacks with at least twenty targets.

966
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 6: He is still one of the best corners in the league,

967
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 6: and he's on pace to best his interception career interception talley,

968
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 6: which was three. He has two, and he still has

969
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 6: several more games to go. He was never respected here,

970
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 6: so that answers that question. Jodan Lewis is actually doing

971
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 6: very well.

972
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 9: They didn't value him the way that everybody else got.

973
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 3: What were you gonna say on that?

974
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 9: No, I was just gonna say dern By on things

975
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 9: I let Josh.

976
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure when he cuts the film on he's

977
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 4: self evaluating self, checking himself. I think he expects more

978
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 4: of himself as well. So we're not saying anything that

979
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 4: he's not going to hold a standard that he's not

980
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 4: going to hold himself to. I believe he is of

981
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 4: the character that is going to figure it out, it's

982
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 4: throughout the remainder of the season or whether it's during

983
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 4: the off season. I think he will take accountability for

984
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 4: his lack of execution and lack of performance because we

985
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 4: expect more, because we've seen more. And I think that

986
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 4: he probably feels that same way about himself. I don't

987
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 4: have issues about him bouncing back. It is what it

988
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 4: is right now. I see it being better in the future.

989
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,479
Speaker 4: But in terms of right now what we're seeing, he's

990
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 4: not handling it as one on ones. He is CB

991
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 4: one right now. He's CB one right now. Yeah, and

992
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 4: we're not seeing it.

993
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 8: I think what you're saying about stopping the run and

994
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 8: the defensive line, to me, that should only make your

995
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 8: secondary better. And you saw that when Quentin Williams first

996
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 8: came to the Cowboys.

997
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 7: You saw that for the first time.

998
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 3: Oh he's getting pressure.

999
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 8: He's getting pressure. Kenny Clark's looking great, and Os is

1000
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 8: looking great. To me, the real reason why you're getting

1001
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 8: killed in the secondary scheme and to me.

1002
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 7: That's a problem that you really need to address.

1003
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 5: It's batter that's gonna do it for us here on

1004
