8
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: number ninety two. Welcome to another edition of The Break.

9
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: We are live from the s WBC Mortgage studios at

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: the Star and we've got so much to talk about today.

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: We are not only going to start getting you guys

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: ready for the upcoming game Cowboys versus Bears this Thursday,

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: but because we haven't been on the air since Thanksgiving,

14
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: we still gotta go back and see. Yes we do.

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: It's just like the game film. You gotta go back

16
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: and talk about it and talk about what happened on

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day. Cowboys loose to the Buffalo Bills twenty six

18
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: to fifteen, and something that happened yesterday. The Philadelphia Eagles

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: also get a lost, so Cowboys maintain a one game

20
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: lead in the division. No one's really battling to keep

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: that to get that spot in the playoffs and win

22
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: this division. But that may actually end up working towards

23
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys advantage. I told Channon Gross this morning that

24
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: the NFC East is like that mangy dog that's running

25
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: around the street. Nobody wants it. Like it's like, oh,

26
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: it would be nice to have a dog, but not

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: that one. It's like, nobody wants the NFC East, Like, no,

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: you take it here. We lost to the Bills, Go

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: ahead and beat the Dolphins. No, I'm not gonna beat

30
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. We're good. Yeah, nobody wants this just division.

31
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: It's the worst division in football. This division exists every

32
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: year like there's ally. But I didn't think it would

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: be the East this year. I didn't either. I thought

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: at least the Cowboys and the Eagles would have a

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: nice battle and they'd be in. I think we all

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: got a nice battle. Yeah, nice depends on there's a battle.

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a nice bat which I get.

38
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought it would be a two team race.

39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: I didn't think Washington or New York was really equipped

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: to compete. But you know, I think out of it yet,

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: not mathematically no, which the funny that tells you everything.

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: They're two and nine and they're not mathematically out of it.

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: That's not great, Bob, note great at all. We'll talk

44
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: about that a little bit later, but I want to

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: start first by talking about this game, Cowboys versus Bills. Man,

46
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: it was a tough day. But when you go back

47
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: and you look at the statistics afterwards, I'm having a

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: hard time feeling out putting my putting my finger on

49
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: exactly what the problem was. So it's like the rest

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, right, yeah, it was absolutely well.

51
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: Let's let's look at this. DAK was thirty two forty nine,

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 1: sixty five percent completion radio three and fifty five passing yards,

53
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, an interception, Zeke Att nineteen total touches, one

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven yards, five point nine average on

55
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: the ground amar at eight for eighty five. Like it

56
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: looked like Phistically. Offensively, the ball was moving, Cowboys were

57
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: picking up yards. What do you guys think was the

58
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: problem offensively with this team? They suck the red zone

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: and their offensive line doesn't push anybody around. They don't

60
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: even try anymore. First and goal from the nine and

61
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: fourth straight passes. Dak is really good in between the twenties,

62
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's really that great this year.

63
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: In the red zone. That's one of the things that

64
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: he's struggled at. They don't throw the ball well in there,

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: and they don't even attempt to run, which takes away

66
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: any play action opportunities they get down there. They're not

67
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: very good, and I think the fans and the media

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: basically forced Jason Garrett last week to not kick the

69
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: field goal and go for it on fourth and nine

70
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: just because of what happened the week before and all that.

71
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: I really think the smart play was to kick the

72
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: field goal. Either way, it doesn't matter. But I just

73
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: think right now they're just trying to find answers and

74
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: they don't have them. I still can't figure out why

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to find the solution for the

76
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: red zone. That it's something that they were struggling with

77
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: last year, and then for this year, we were thinking, oh, well,

78
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: Jason Witten, he's going to be able to help in

79
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: the red zone. Having Travis Frederick back, that's gonna be

80
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: a big thing for the Cowboys with the line and

81
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: what he does there at center and none of that

82
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: has really changed anything. I mean, they're still unable to

83
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: get inside the red zone. Past that, getting to the

84
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: end zone and getting points and then I'm sure we'll

85
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: talk about brand Moher. But now, I mean, when you

86
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: don't got a kicker making those field goals, then you're

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: really screwed up. How about pressing well as a number,

88
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean, one of many issues. But I thought they

89
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: were pressing and it killed them in this game. Try

90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: to set up the screen to Tony Pollard, it's not

91
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: there at all. Any quarterback that's you know, a college

92
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: quarterback knows to throw that at the guy's feed. Dak

93
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: tried to turn it into a play anyway, he's picked

94
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: off by a d tackle. That kind of starts the snowball.

95
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: That turns into an avalanche of bad stuff happening. Same

96
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: thing on the strip sack, which you know you can

97
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: criticize Xavier Suaphilo. You know he comes in and it

98
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: was his first or second snapond snap, second snap after

99
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: he comes in for Connor Williams beat on the first

100
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: snap as well. Though they had a rough day against that. Oliver.

101
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: Maybe you pointed that out in the press box, you know,

102
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: maybe I didn't give him enough credit for being a

103
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 1: top ten pick. He is not a starter for that team,

104
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: but he certainly looked like a top ten pick. He abused.

105
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: He abused the interior or that line point being you

106
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: can criticize the offensive line if you want to, and

107
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: they deserve it. But the reason that strip sack happened

108
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: is Dak was fixated on the long ball. To Michael Gallup,

109
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean he was hanging in there waiting for it

110
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: to come open. It felt like an eternity. So again,

111
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: two plays that probably don't happen if you're not trying

112
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: to press for the big play, and those two plays.

113
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: You know, you can never single out one or two plays.

114
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: But like I said, that's kind of starts the snowball

115
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: effect where you know, one minute you're like, man, they

116
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: kind of slowed down, and then five minutes later, like,

117
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: holy crap, they're not in this game anymore. Like what happened?

118
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, that's just two big flash

119
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: points that I think we're a big part of it.

120
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: Does have any faith that any of the problems you

121
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: just pointed out are fixable this season, well, I mean, yeah,

122
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: they're fixable, because this team, I mean, somebody's got to

123
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: go eat and eight, right, you know, somebody has to

124
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: do it in all of the NFL. So there's great teams,

125
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: there's really bad teams, and then there's teams right there

126
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: in the middle. And this is what Dallas is. And

127
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: they haven't beat anybody with a winning record. They don't

128
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: have to. They don't have to beat anyone with a

129
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: winning record. Really, they could beat the Bears, they could

130
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: even lose to the Rams. But they beat the Eagles

131
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: and the Redskins. I mean, they're gonna be in the playoffs. Actually,

132
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: they can lose both those teams, they both of the

133
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: next two games, as long as they beat the Eagles

134
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: and the Redskins, which, by the way, what had they've

135
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: done all you Yeah, you've beating the NFC. If they

136
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: just keep being who they are, Yeah, we'll get in

137
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Cowboys, it's not it's not. But yeah, that

138
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: tells you how bad the NFC East is. Cowboys fans

139
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: took issue with me yesterday because I said they have

140
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: a commanding lead in the division. They're like, it's one

141
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: game with a month to play. That's not commanding. If

142
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: all you have to do is beat a middling Eagles

143
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: team and a bad Redskins team to make the playoffs.

144
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: It sounds pretty commanding to me. Like I said all

145
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: last week, the Bills game didn't matter. These two games

146
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: mathematically don't matter anymore because of what the Eagles did yesterday.

147
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: Obviously you would prefer to get on a role. Getting

148
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: into the playoffs at eight and eight isn't gonna make

149
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: anybody happy, and it's not going to give you confidence

150
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: that they can make a run. But from a mathematical standpoint,

151
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: all they have to do is win those two division

152
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: games and they can make the playoffs. It's amazing. And

153
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: if the Eagles somehow lose to the Giants next week

154
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys beat the Bears, I mean, it is

155
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: really all but over because you know, then you can

156
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: just lose to the Eagles, it doesn't matter because you've

157
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: got assuming you beat the Redskins. At the last game,

158
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: the Redskins beat the you know, Carolina, I just beat them,

159
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: beat the Brakes off of the bout eight. But if

160
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: you watched the game like they were they were beating though,

161
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: like that was not a I don't think that was

162
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: a game where the score really reflected how well the

163
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: Redskins thirty seconds ago. They were trying to tie the game,

164
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: but they took a thirty yard sack. It's like I said,

165
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: every year this happens, Like the Vikings and the Panthers

166
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: and the Bears and the Rams and the Seahawks are

167
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: all like fuming that some mediocre NFC East team is

168
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: gonna post a playoff game, whereas you know what three

169
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: years ago, what you know, the thirteen and three year,

170
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, the Giants went what twelve and four and

171
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: had to go on the road in the playoffs. I

172
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: mean happens every year, yeah, you know. And every year

173
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 1: we talked about the schedule and we're like, man, there's

174
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a few teams that aren't as good as

175
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: you think they are, So don't don't sit here and go,

176
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: oh my god, we gotta play the Bears. Maybe the

177
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: Bears aren't gonna be good, Maybe the Rams aren't gonna

178
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: be good. Maybe the Cowboys aren't gonna be good. It

179
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: turned out to be the Cowboys in the Eagles. Is

180
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: the two teams that aren't as good as you thought

181
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: they would be. Well, the Bears, like, yeah, they're probably

182
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: about four teams. The Rams probably be in the same boat. Like,

183
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: they're not as good as even I thought they were

184
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: gonna be after coming off a year when they went

185
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: to the Super The forty nine ers, you know, are

186
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: really good, and the Packers are better than they were

187
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: last year. So I mean it always had Vikings as well. Yeah, Vikings,

188
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: All right, talk talk to me a little bit about

189
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: Brett Maher and where you brought him up. He missed

190
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: two field goals in that game, one of them being tipped,

191
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: which just adds to the issues that they're having as

192
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: a special teams unit. That was the thirty five yard

193
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: but you also missed a forty seven yard or Cowboys

194
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: had a workout yesterday brought in three kickers. Tell me

195
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: about right now, what do you think as far as

196
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are looking at their crick of position? Do

197
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: you think that a change is imminent? And if not,

198
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: what do you think would have to happen for them

199
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: to actually make a change. I think I think it's

200
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: right there. You know, this is you just miss against

201
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: the Bears, and you have any kind of struggles against

202
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 1: the Bears. You know, if they like what they saw yesterday,

203
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they did, but if they like

204
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: that they are we have a contingency plan that we like.

205
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: If he struggles again, boom. I mean issue had never

206
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: gotten to this point. Do you think they should make

207
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: a changed a long time ago? I mean, when I

208
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: go back and I understand that that's just the position.

209
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: It's easier. You can easily just bring someone in plucking

210
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: man blah blah. But when you go back to training

211
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: camp and just not bringing someone in when you know

212
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: this ruggles that he had the year before, it's just like,

213
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: why does he need to get to this point of

214
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: the season for you to bring in three guys to

215
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: try them out and see how they do it? Just

216
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense to me. And when you

217
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: have cut them, when would you have cut him? Like,

218
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: but at least bringing someone to just check them out

219
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: and add some competition to maher like, let them know, yes,

220
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: you have his back, but be on your toes. Like.

221
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he's dumb or blind either, for when

222
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: he makes those kinds of mistake, But it's very different

223
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: when you have somebody next to you kicking the ball

224
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: as to not having anybody and you're the only one kicking.

225
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know about that not a kicker.

226
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that because I think most kickers

227
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: will tell you that they're competing with guys on the

228
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: street all the time because you can just swat you.

229
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: I would argue, though, if the Cowboys were going to

230
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: do this, I think they waited too long, honestly, Oh,

231
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: because most guys are I mean there will. There was

232
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: a small pool of guys who have done it before

233
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: that has been available on and off throughout the season.

234
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: Kai four Bat Young Hoku is another one. He's kicking

235
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: pretty playing well for Atlanta. He's twelve and fourteen on

236
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: the year. Um, those guys are gone, Nick Rose, your

237
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: guy Longhorn only one of the three that they worked

238
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: out with NFL experience. He went eleven of fourteen two

239
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: years ago. The other two, um Tristan viz Kayano and

240
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: um oh, Austin McGinnis both haven't. I think McGinnis kicked

241
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: it in the the AAF, you know, in the spring,

242
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: but he's never kicked in a regular season NFL game. Yeah,

243
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm saying. Yeah, nothing, So viz viz

244
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: Kayano is however, you know, sorry if I mispronounced it.

245
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: He he went twelve of twenty in his final season

246
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: at Washington, So that's college And I'm just like, is

247
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: that definitively better than what you got? So I agree.

248
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if they were going to do this, they

249
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: should have done it when they had a more viable option. Um,

250
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: I'd see that blocked though, and the yeah, I know

251
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: he got blocked before the half, but that thing went

252
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: really far, so like like it might have gotten blocked,

253
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,599
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I don't know if it was

254
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: headed through the up breaks. Anyways, you know, it's been

255
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: four days, like you kind of have a chance to

256
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: get over the knee jerk, and you know, I'm not

257
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: as worked up about this as I was on Friday.

258
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: But let's talk about the decision making process on that

259
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: drive in the first place. You get the ball back

260
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: with like a minute and a half, no urgency whatsoever.

261
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: You just very deliberately let all the time bleed off

262
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: the clock, which I get you don't want to give

263
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: the Bills the ball back, but they had three timeouts

264
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: and really didn't put themselves in position to do better

265
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: than a fuel goal attempt with a kicker that they

266
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: don't really trust. And they even especially at that set

267
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 1: up the fuel goal purposefully with a throw to the

268
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: right hash, which is where we know he's not good.

269
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: It's almost like they're stubborn with the with you know,

270
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: with him, They're like, no, we're not good. I mean

271
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: he called time out, wouldn't get And I kind of

272
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: disagree with you there because if you just look at

273
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: where the Bills were doing, they were not going to

274
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: give anything other than a field goal. I mean they

275
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: were playing almost prevent in the end zone, no shots

276
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: to the end zone. They're just gonna give you three points.

277
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: But call time out and there's run Witten for ten yards.

278
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: He could have done that on any hash. I now

279
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: that goes to another problem. If your kicker has to

280
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: be on a certain hash, you got a problem and

281
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: you do, and I agree with you. I would probably

282
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: make this move. I really would. I'd find somebody I

283
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: don't know who, maybe anybody that's kicked in the NFL before.

284
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I would do that because the guy has absolutely

285
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: no confidence, which I think I would have just go

286
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: full Kevin Kelly, which is the Arkansas high school coach

287
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: who never kicks at like that's his claim to fame.

288
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't punt, he doesn't kick I would just

289
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: operate as if I can't make a fuel goal unless

290
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: it's from sixty or plus yards. Hey, guys, that's what

291
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: I would do. Is there any role that stubbornness plays

292
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: in this? The fact that Maher is the guy that

293
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: you let Dan Bailey walk, for the fact that maybe

294
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: they can move on from Maha, but they don't want

295
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: to be wrong. Again, I don't agree with that, because

296
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: your head coach has no contract, so he needs to

297
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: win games, and like now, he is stubborn, There's no

298
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: doubt about it. But I don't think to the fault

299
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: of that. I think he wants to cut him. Listen

300
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: to the press garments. I mean he wanted to cut him.

301
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cowboys do, but I think some

302
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: of the coaches. If he doesn't need his shoulders to

303
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: the kick, that's the thing. I even said that in

304
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: the press box. The worst part is that Heath can't

305
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: go out there and kick an extra You know what, what,

306
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: just have Heath kick an extra point if you need to.

307
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if it was five yards or ten yards

308
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: an end, I'd trot Jeff out there. This team can't

309
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: make a two point conversion to save their life. So yeah,

310
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you're just talking about their red zone. So

311
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think they want to be

312
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: right about Dan, like that's so far, that's so water

313
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: under the bridge. But I think they want to be

314
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: right in the sense that they're like, well, he's got

315
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: this leg, he's made these kicks like blah blah blah

316
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: blah blah, and there's nobody and there's not a lot

317
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: of better options. So I do think stubborness is part

318
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: of it, but not necessarily because of Dan Bailey. But

319
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: if you just look at how he performed last season,

320
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: he was toward the bottom of the league in percentage

321
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: of Phil Golds. So I agree with Amber from the

322
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: standpoint I think during training camp, whether you're bringing him

323
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: in for competition or not, I would have legitimately had

324
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: a kicking competition, like I would have legitimately brought in

325
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: somebody who I thought I could kick more reliably from

326
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: all the way from the goal line to forty yards.

327
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: I would have brought in that guy, and then I

328
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: would have made a decision, I'll take the guy and

329
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: know what he's gonna do in those kind of situations.

330
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: And it's really really iffy when you get beyond fifty,

331
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: then take a guy that I know can maybe make

332
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: a sixty two yarder, but it's really really if he

333
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: thirty to forty. I would just rather have the knowledge

334
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,119
Speaker 1: of being able to rely on my kicker in certain situations.

335
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: And I don't think the Cowboys have that right now. Like, yes,

336
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: all day, every day, Give me the guy that's automatic

337
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: or close to it from closer than forty five, because honestly,

338
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Maher's leg gets them in trouble in the

339
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: first place, because you're like, well, we know he can

340
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: make it from sixty, and then you're doing stupid stuff

341
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: that sets your opponent up at midfield anyway if he misses,

342
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: and I just don't know that, you know, the fact

343
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: that he hand hit those kicks is not as valuable

344
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: as maybe some people want it to be. All Right,

345
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our first break. When we come back,

346
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the offensive line. We mentioned

347
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: it a little bit earlier. Ed Oliver had some exposed

348
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: some issues and now an offensive lineman is done for

349
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: the year. We'll talk about that when we come right back.

350

382
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: It is the second segment of The Break Life s

383
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: WBC mortgage studios at the start talking about the Cowboys

384
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: loss to the Buffalo Bills. They lose twenty six to nineteen,

385
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: and it was miss our fifteen twenty six fifteen giving

386
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: them four points there. It was I was trying to

387
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: help him out, but it was a game that by

388
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: and large, even with the score ending up where it was,

389
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't really that close. In my opinion, it looked

390
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys were struggling most of the day. Other

391
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: than the first series, of course, which they got up

392
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: to a fast start, give them credit for that, but

393
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: then everything kind of went south. It really like and

394
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe it's reckless, like because I,

395
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, I can't gauge their their hustle. I'm not

396
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: saying they weren't trying, but like, it's so weird that

397
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: the one time, the one time they really came out gangbusters,

398
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean, touchdown on the first drive, defense got off

399
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: the field quick on the first Bills possession, and then

400
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: they just went flat. It's almost like the thirty yard

401
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: run on the next possession. Yeah. And after that, watching that,

402
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: it was almost like they were like, all right, we

403
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: solve this flat start thing. And then they were they

404
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: forgot it that there's fifty more minutes of football to play.

405
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: Like this guy that I've heard use this analogy a

406
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: thousand times this year about holding jello in his hand. Yes, yeah,

407
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: he loves say you hold jello in your hand, you

408
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: get a little bit here, but then this spills out

409
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: over here and then oh that was that game completely. Yeah.

410
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: You start thinking like you got one thing fixed, and

411
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: before you know it, one time Zeke season. Yeah, yeah,

412
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: witting back in the end zone, fast starts. I forgot,

413
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean, so much bad stuff happened. I forgot about

414
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: the Zeke run. I was like, okay, that's if Zeke's

415
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: doing that on even a somewhat regular basis, nobody's gonna

416
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: complain about him. Ever again, he was breaking tackles, he

417
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: looked fast, and then you know, nothing but bad stuff

418
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: happened for a half hour. One big thing that we

419
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: talked about a little earlier, mentioned a little earlier. The

420
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: offensive line has some issues with add Oliver and Xavier Suefilo.

421
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: I think was the culprit on the situation and on

422
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: the play whether you have the strip sack, but um

423
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: Connor Williams we find out this week has an ACL

424
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: tear he has done for the year, which means now

425
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: Suipilo is going to be your full time guy. How

426
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: concerned are you or do you think he's more than

427
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: capable to be able to handle that role for the

428
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: rest of the season. I feel is better. I mean,

429
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: I believe that he's a better player than Connor Williams.

430
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: I believe that. I believe that exactly what they need.

431
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: And if you and if you're gonna throw out the Connor.

432
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean these Xavier Suafilo play then Mike Sure and

433
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: show about twenty more from this year when Connor Williams

434
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: does the same thing, if not worse that they They're

435
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: not perfect. Connor's not perfect at guard. Sufilo is not

436
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: perfect guard. That's what do you think? Do you think

437
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: you're better with Suphilo? Do you think you're about the same,

438
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: because it sounds like what you're saying there is they're

439
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: about the same. They're both gonna give a place. Yeah,

440
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: I mean that's true, but seventy seven that you're all

441
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: pro left tackle gives up plays, I mean, Travis Frederick,

442
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: Zach Martin. But do you think they're better? Do you

443
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: think they're better off with Shilo than Williams? Yeah? I do.

444
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: I do. I think that. I think they can run

445
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: the ball better with him. But it's a small sample size,

446
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: but we'll see. Yeah, I don't think so. I get

447
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: I'll preface it by saying like they can survive with

448
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: Davier Sufilo. They did it last year, So I mean,

449
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to sync their offense, but

450
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I don't I'm not saying this

451
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: to you like I'm you know, I'm bashing you. But

452
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: I think Connor's just an easy scapegoat because he's, you know,

453
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: he's a project. He played tackle in college. He's the

454
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: least drafted guy on the line, you know, the least

455
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: amount of talent from a scouting standpoint. Uh And and

456
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: Tyrn and Zach and these guys have been standards for

457
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: all offensive line excellence, so it's easy to point out

458
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: what he's not. I don't think he's been terrible by

459
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: any stretch of the imagination this season. Um, but I

460
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: also don't think the drop off is going to be severe. Um,

461
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: So that there. I mean, I think regardless of which

462
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: one is in the lineup, it's the weak link of

463
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: the offensive line. It's just as what it is. It

464
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: always has. There's always that that guy. I mean, back

465
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: in the day when they had three All Pro Bowlers

466
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: back in oh seven, Kyle Kozer was the weak link

467
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: and he was pretty damn good. Yeah, so, I mean

468
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: it happened Mark Colombo was also the non Pro bowler.

469
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: They're just like people hated Doug Free for a long time.

470
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: Tell you, but I mean, I I think that he'll

471
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: he'll do better. I really do I think he'll be

472
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: He'll be fine. Um, you know, have all week to

473
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: prepare when in there. Yeah, he prides himself on being prepared,

474
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: and he certainly wasn't. Those first two plays. You're standing

475
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: there without a helmet on. Next thing you know, you're

476
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: making a tackle because you you know, got drove back there. Now,

477
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: if you listen to the broadcast Romo, which I don't know,

478
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: does Romo really critical of Dak a lot? But he

479
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: he was on that play, he was like, you gotta

480
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: get rid of the ball, step up and get rid

481
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: of the ball. Either way, he was getting drove all

482
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: the way back. Yeah, I mean that's the play where

483
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: he also had like two or three guys underneath who

484
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: were open, and he becau There was a play I

485
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: saw on Twitter somebody was pointing out and I don't

486
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: remember if it was that play, but it was like

487
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: the point they were making was there are options underneath.

488
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes you take the option underneath because you don't have

489
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: to wait for the other place, especially when you're in

490
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: situations where you're under a bit of dress. Yeah, the

491
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: strip sac Yeah, he's still I mean, it felt like

492
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: six seconds and it probably wasn't, but that's I mean,

493
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: Xavier got driven back, there's no question, but he held

494
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: that ball for a long long time. He was asked

495
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: that question Sophila was do you think that Dak held

496
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: the ball for too long? And he said, um, I

497
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: don't know how long he held it, but our goal

498
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: is to make sure he can hold it for a minute. Okay,

499
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: so lofty goals and he like no, but I'm just

500
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: saying it doesn't matter, right, yea, yeah, block until until

501
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: find an offensive lineman who's ever going to say that anyway? Yeah? Yeah,

502
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: oh Jesus staff for the ball. I actually stopped and

503
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: turned around and looked at him, like, dude, what are

504
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: you doing any day now? You know. I know all

505
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 1: of these offensive linemen are struggling with some kind of

506
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: injury and stuff, But one of the things that concerns

507
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: me is canny Xavier go ahead and play the rest

508
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: of the season healthy and be healthy because he has

509
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: it passed with where he has been dealing with injuries

510
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: on his knees and that's something that is just not

511
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: gonna go away. And I can't remember how many games

512
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: he's able he's been able to play back to back

513
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: fully healthy. Yeah, I don't know, but it doesn't feel

514
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: like it's been more than two or so where he's like,

515
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: he played all eight games last year, but I don't

516
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: know if you're if he was banged up. I mean,

517
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, when's the last time Tyran was

518
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: healthy's rookie year. I mean, like he still plays, but

519
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: he played in the last eight games of the season.

520
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: They did get poked in the eye, Yeah, missed the

521
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: games or so, what are their options at this point?

522
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: If it lets assume for a second, either if he's

523
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: not healthy or if he's not playing well, does Joe

524
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: Looney become an option? What are there other options here?

525
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: I asked Jason about that. Go ahead, and I, oh, well, sorry,

526
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: they did sign Caleb ben and knock um. He's a

527
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: he's been a knock it's been around. He has been around. Well,

528
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: he's a fifth round pick by the Bucks. He started

529
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: for them for several years. He's spent short stints with

530
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: New England and Carolina this year, but short stints like

531
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: he wasn't there. Oh yeah, he started, Let's get him

532
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: in here yet. Here's what they like is they like

533
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: his versatility to do both. I mean, so, I mean

534
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: he's he's a new Adam Redman. If I had to

535
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: guess um, I asked Garrett today about Looney, like we

536
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: never talked about Joe as an option at left guard,

537
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: and it was a very Jason Garrett response. He was like,

538
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, he's a good player. We like him better

539
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: as a center, and we think Xavier can handle that.

540
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: So if Joe Looney were to get time at left guard,

541
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: it says a lot about how poorly they think Xavir

542
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: Suva Philo is playing, basically, like I think that would

543
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: only be a break glass in a case of emergency thing.

544
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: But Connor McGovern, like Jason Garrett also, he said last

545
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: week they haven't closed the book on him coming back,

546
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 1: but he's not ready. And if you can just do

547
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: a rudimentary level of math, you realize that the season's

548
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: running out. Like if you activate a guy off ir,

549
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: he gets three weeks before you have to put him

550
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: on the fifty three. That means he would have to

551
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: start practicing next week. He hasn't done anything all year

552
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: better than somebody else. It's very it's admirable that Jason

553
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: Garrett doesn't want to close the book on that, but

554
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: like I can't imagine Connor McGovern can do a lot

555
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: to help you with He's never played in a preseason

556
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: game now he hasn't. I think he's taken Ota snaps

557
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: in shorts. He's never he has not put on pads

558
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Well, he did practice for like one

559
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,239
Speaker 1: day here at the Star and think reaggravated it, right,

560
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: remember so, But but that was OTA's right, which isn't

561
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: even fully padded. Remember like at the end of training

562
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: he comes back and then you're right, they hate when

563
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: that happens. But I mean, he's he It doesn't mean

564
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: that his career is like a wash or anything, but

565
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 1: that's he's a twenty twenty guy. That's play and he's

566
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: just a little bit less than Tristan Hill. That's that's

567
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: just fair. That's just the fact. That's what it is.

568
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: Good days Thornhill got an interception for a touchdown where

569
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: everybody got tweeted about it. Right, you know what I like,

570
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: don't it. I'm not mad at me. It is, which

571
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, draft classes are about so much more than

572
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: one season. But it's completely fair to say, man like,

573
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: for a team that's trying to get over the hump,

574
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: you're not getting anything from your rookie class, which like

575
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: look all around the league, like if good teams get

576
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: production from their rookies, I mean and not just teams

577
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: drafting at the top of the round either, Like and

578
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: they're just not in a team where they needed, they've

579
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: been needing forever the safety that could come in and

580
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: actually make plays for them. Right, Tony Pollard is the

581
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: only member of this draft class that has made a

582
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: tangible contribution to the season. That's just not that's not

583
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 1: going to get it done when Taco's not doing anything

584
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: for you. But DeMarcus Lawrence is something, Well he did yesterday,

585
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah he made a play. But when DeMarcus Lawrence is

586
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: playing well, and then that's you're like, okay, well, why's

587
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: Taco not playing well? That's one reason. But when Tristan

588
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: Hill's not playing and you have to go out and

589
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: make a trade so you can get a help with

590
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett and they're still not playing well in the middle,

591
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: and you know what, he made a tackle the other day,

592
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: like Antoine Woods out and he made a play. But

593
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: the tackles position is really hurting this team right now

594
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: because the guy's getting all day to just sit there,

595
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: and they end, and they step up and there's they

596
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't have anything to step up to, but they do.

597
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: I bet I can. I can go through the playoff

598
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: chase and look at every team and think about contributions

599
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: that their rookies are making, and like Nick Bosa is

600
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: easy obviously, but like you know, DK metcalf is coming

601
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: on for Seattle and wan Thorne Hills pretty damn good.

602
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: As it turns out, Taylor Rapp also had a pick

603
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: six yesterday, which is another safety they considered. So um,

604
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: it's a bummer. It doesn't mean that, it doesn't mean

605
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: that they're definitely somebody will probably say Paulo does that

606
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. No, I don't think they've used them ano. No. Yeah,

607
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: that's you know, not nearly a big enough when you

608
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,080

662
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: all right, Uh, Dave, let's talk about the Chicago Bears.

663
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: Give me a quick scatter report. We got about eleven minutes. Yeah,

664
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: give me a quick scatter report on the Yeah, this

665
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: Thursday's Wednesday. On the Chica Wednesday. I'm sorry, Chicago Bear offense. No,

666
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: it is Thursday. Wow, I'm an idiot, You're right, believe all.

667
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm all out of sorts. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm not

668
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: a superstitious person. I think I've made that clear. But

669
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try it the other way

670
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: this time. I'm just gonna say this Bears offense, Holy

671
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: caw are they good? Holy cow do they have a

672
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: lot of weapons. I don't know how the Cowboys could

673
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: possibly stop them all they're so good. The quarterback man

674
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: Mitch Drubisky, Pro Bowl, Alan Robinson one of the best

675
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: deep threat receivers in the league, pretty good. Tarik Cohen mismatched,

676
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: can line up in the slot, can play running back.

677
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: The Cowboys cannot stop these guys. They are amazing, all right.

678
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm being sarcastic. I didn't have a very high opinion

679
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: of the Bills. Every time I don't have a high

680
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: opinion of an opponent, they come back and kick some ass.

681
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: So you know, maybe a little bit of reverse psychology works.

682
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: But the Bears, the Bears are they are going through it.

683
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: On offense, they are struggling. They're twenty ninth in the league.

684
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: They're twenty seventh and scoring. They they don't really do

685
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: anything well. And I didn't. I mean, I'm serious, I

686
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: didn't have a ton I didn't have a ton of

687
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: time to deep dive on this like I normally do.

688
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you followed the season at all,

689
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't think you should be surprised by that. Trubisky

690
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: is just app I feel bad for the guy. Honestly,

691
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: he's he is a lightning rod for for everything that

692
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: is wrong with the Bears, probably because you know, the

693
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks drafted after him are looking like the future

694
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: of the NFL and he's just not. He's the other one.

695
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: Mahomes and who Watson. He's good. Yeah, he's good too.

696
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: Decisions they you know, they drafted David Montgomery out of

697
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: Iowa State. Tarik Cohen is one of the most fun

698
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: gadget players in the league. But they don't even really

699
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: run the ball. Well, they're running, you know, three and

700
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: a half yards per carry. Trubisky six point one yards

701
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: per attempt on the season, which is less than Tom Brady,

702
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: and we spend a lot of time talking about how

703
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: Brady's lost it and can't go down field with these receivers.

704
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: He did play really well against Detroit twenty nine thirty

705
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: eight for three thirty eight and three touchdowns. Have a

706
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: stat on that form my storylines that Derek neglected. But

707
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna do tomorrow. You're gonna go and give it away.

708
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean go ahead, and I mean the

709
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: story it's on the website for the world yesterday anyway,

710
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: seventeen of nineteen on first Down, Dad, like he was

711
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: against the against the Lions. His two best games this

712
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: year have been against the Lions. I'm very I'm very

713
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: had a big game against the Lions. True. Oh yeah,

714
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: I thought about that immediately, and on I'm I'm frustrated

715
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: with NFL game pass because the all twenty two for

716
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: the Lions game is not up, even though it was

717
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: played on Thanksgiving. That seems ridiculous to me. So I

718
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: couldn't watch it, at least not from that angle. Um,

719
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 1: but Trubisky, I just you know, it seems so much

720
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: like he just struggles to see the field, a lot

721
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: of locking onto receivers, a lot of throwing it to

722
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: what I assume as his first read, regardless of how

723
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: good the coverage is. Had a terrible pick against the

724
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: Giants where he again like nothing suggested that the play

725
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: was open, and he was like, well, this is this

726
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: is what the red tells me that I'm supposed to do.

727
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: And again you just kind of see that, you like,

728
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: he locks onto stuff even before the snap. One thing

729
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: that really stood out to me is again like Tarik

730
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: Cohen is he's so exciting. He's so fast and quick.

731
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: He's caught fifty four passes. This sh don't really run.

732
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: He's a receiver, right, but fifty four passes. How many

733
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: yards would you guess he has? Man less I mean

734
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: less than ten pop probably probably four hundred. I'm thinking

735
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: even maybe thing like about three fifty four catches for

736
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: three hundred yards. That's awful. Yeah, that that's like, clearly

737
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: you understand that he's a priority, but there's no creativity

738
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: or or truebisky can't do it one way or the other.

739
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: A lot of screen passes that don't go anywhere, a

740
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: lot of routes to the flat that get like one

741
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: or two yards Like that's I could have sworn I

742
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: wrote it down. But that's an average of like four

743
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: point eight per catch, which is awful for anybody, let

744
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: alone a guy who's as quick as he is, and

745
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: you would think he can make people miss. So granted,

746
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: you know the Cowboys struggle with that sometimes. And Devin

747
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: Singletary he was a problem, just like we thought he'd be. Um,

748
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: so that's something to watch. Um their line, it's okay,

749
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: it's not terrible, it's not great. Um, it's funny as

750
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: somebody that does the draft show. The Bears have picked

751
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: early a lot the last few years because last year

752
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: was really their first good season in a while. Like

753
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: they got they got a lot of talent. I mean,

754
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: we mentioned Cohen. Anthony Miller is a guy that we

755
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: loved coming out. Um slot receiver out of Memphis. Doesn't

756
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: really do a lot because they're not a dynamic passing offense.

757
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: James Daniels, good left guard out of Iowa. Cody Whitehair

758
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: another guy that we really loved. Their center. Like the

759
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: talent yeah, he well he tackle Kansas thing. I think

760
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 1: it was a guard he could, but he could. He's

761
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: a He's like a four or five position type of guy.

762
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: He's a good player. Um what else do I think? Um,

763
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: So here's my question. Alan Robinson's a super underrated player.

764
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: He's a good I mean, he's a good downfield player.

765
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: The problem is Mitch Rubisky's quarterback. So so, thinking about

766
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: all things you just said, Let's assume for a second

767
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: that this offense has a day. They just have a

768
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: day that's which uncommon. Sure they could what abody else does,

769
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 1: whether they say they're bad, right, what are the piece

770
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: is of this offense that can really hurt the Cowboys.

771
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: I'll I mean, like for the however many times, and

772
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: however many weeks, like the running backs scare me. Not

773
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: because the Bears are great at running the ball, but

774
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: this team has struggled at times with defending the run.

775
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 1: They definitely struggled at times with tackling. You know, yards

776
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: after contact are big for them. Quarterback with it and

777
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: and Trubisky is an athlete, There's no doubt about that.

778
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: So if I were them, expect, like, the weather's not

779
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: gonna be terrible, but it's going to be thirty something

780
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: degrees Like, well, yeah, I would love not crazy clue.

781
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: I would lean into that, give me some of that

782
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: run option. I mean, you know, Josh Allen, he didn't

783
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: kill him the same way that Jeff Driskell did, but

784
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 1: he scored from seventeen yards out and made it look easy.

785
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: Have those wins been at home or like you guys

786
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: never ceased to ask a question that I didn't think,

787
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, here we go. Sorry, Well, they

788
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: won in Detroit last week, so not exclusively. I want

789
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: to say honestly that they're not good at home. Let's look,

790
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: they're probably three and three they're three and three at

791
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: home and on the road. Boom oh, so they're media

792
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: they're equally mediocre on the road as they are at home.

793
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: I thought about that, actually, I was like, well, the

794
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys just they don't win on the road. But they're

795
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: what They're three and three on the road, aren't they. Yes,

796
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: they beat they lost to the Pads. They beat the Lions,

797
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: they beat their Redskins, they beat the I have a question, okay, yeah, okay,

798
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen fumble that he picked it up and

799
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: got a yard and got a first down. That really

800
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: was the play of the whole game. Yeah, you have

801
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 1: that play? I do, right? How far it gets cut off?

802
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: Because I don't know. No, I haven't said this to anyone.

803
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: They lost, Okay, Cowboys lost, no excuses, They're gonna lose anyways.

804
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: They weren't the better team, the worst. But the worst

805
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: late hit you've ever seen happens on that play. Here

806
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: you go two angles at it? Where okay, Byron Jones,

807
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: Stay on, Byron Jones. How's that not a penalty? You

808
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: see that? Yeah? Like, I mean guy's on the ground,

809
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: he's about to get up and start. I mean it

810
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, but I mean it seems kind of late

811
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: for Byron Jones. He's here, he's down. Yeah, late, I

812
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: mean that's what That's what Jerry Hughes got flagged four

813
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: later in the game when Dak trucked White. Oh yeah,

814
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: and that was not even a penalm. Dack trucked White

815
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: and Hughes kind of jumped on top at the end

816
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: and got flagged for. I just it just looked kind

817
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: of weird to me I was watching, I know, especially

818
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: the way they called that in the game that the

819
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: Bills got flagged for a couple that were kind of questionable,

820
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: but they didn't obviously didn't call for that one. Doesn't matter.

821
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm just good. Good job for having that. That's my best.

822
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: That's the closest I've looked at it in the last

823
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: couple of days, Like people are killing Jalen Smith on

824
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: that play for not seeing what was going on. Yeah,

825
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: which is Christian is the one you gotta look like

826
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: on top of the ball. And I don't understand how

827
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: that season. I mean that that is what the Cowboys.

828
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: You you get a fumble that you didn't even force,

829
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: but you get a fumble it's on the ground. It

830
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: doesn't even matter who gets it. I mean if the

831
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: Bills get it, great, doesn't matter it's fourth. But no,

832
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 1: not only does he get it, he picks it up

833
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 1: and gets a first down. And then then the next

834
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: play is this reverse pitch pass that Dallas could never do,

835
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: but the Bills do it at the guy's wide open.

836
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: Could they ever get a play like this, I mean

837
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: pitch oh, I mean the guy that plays receiver that

838
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: used to play quarterback. I mean I would think maybe,

839
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean something like Dez did that once, des and

840
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: Witten did that. That's I mean. The Cowboys have a

841
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 1: lot of problems, but their inability to run a reverse

842
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver pass, I don't know. I mean it was

843
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: a great play by the Bill, but they run things

844
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 1: like that and it just gets stuffed for like four yards. Yeah.

845
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: Oh well every time they try something fun like that,

846
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: it never works. Yeah. My big thing going back to

847
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: the fumble play is yeah, I mean, I'm stealing it

848
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: right from you. Like, they're not clutch. They don't have

849
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,479
Speaker 1: a killer instinct that like the quarterback puts the ball

850
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: on the ground on fourth and inches and at least one,

851
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: if not two guys have a shot at it and

852
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: all of a sudden Josh Allen's you know, celebrating six

853
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: yards downfield. Somehow I thought that that was no doubt

854
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: the play of the game, because they had Dak had

855
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: thrown a pick. They stop them on defense missive field goal.

856
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: Then Dak fumbles the ball they were about to stop

857
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: them again. It's like, okay, we just gave you two

858
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: presidents under the tree and you gave him back to us,

859
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, well, like we're gonna go win

860
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: this game. It's still seven seven, but that fumble and

861
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: then they score and then it went and it seemed

862
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: like it changed the whole momentum of the game. After

863
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: that is when it just seemed to go downhill. All

864
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: the miss field goal before the half was it's like,

865
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: oh okay, here's Ella golden. You know, like it was

866
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: a really bad nime for the halftime show when everybody

867
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: was like I whenever, the mood, the mood permeating that

868
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: whole building was as bad as I can remember it being.

869
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: The only time it's been worse was when they closed

870
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 1: that Texas Stadium after getting routed by the Baltimore Ravens

871
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: in the rain and they're having a whole Yeah, it's

872
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: cold and rainy, and you're having a celebration of this

873
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: building that's now going to go away, and fans are

874
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: just like, I'm old for it. I'm so done with it. Yeah,

875
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: that's how that's the that's the mood I get, which

876
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, we're turning the page to Chicago, but I

877
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people are ready to let

878
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: that mood go. But there's a reason why those two things,

879
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: and they they are the same that year two thousand

880
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: and eight. I mean, coming off of the two thousand

881
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: and seven season, they're gonna win the Super Bowl. They

882
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: started out three and oh yeah interesting, and then all

883
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the bottom dropped. And that's what this

884
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: season has been. He started off three, oh, you have

885
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: high expectations, and then these losses are just like unexplainable.

886
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: But they're gonna win this next four games, all right.

887
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: I mean they we're very autamant after the game. You know,

888
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: the way that were unbelievable after the game was unbelievable.

889
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: You know, you're right, which all was shocked. I think

890
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: we all were expecting fire brimstone and it was just

891
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: the opposite. We're gonna go run the table like that's

892
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, I mean, we're out of time anyway.

893
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: But we didn't really get into the whole, you know,

894
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: basically the media trying to convince Jerry Jones that he

895
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: was gonna fire Jason Garrett right there on this. He's like,

896
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: we're about to go run this, you know, run the

897
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: table that said we still control our own destiny. I'm like, well,

898
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: at any point, if you want to grab the wheel

899
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: and get it out of the ditch, would be great.

900
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, We're all kind of just sitting here

901
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: right now. Nobody's actually grabbing this wheel. The cars just

902
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: kind of going Jesus, take the wheel. Recch, you guys

903
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: join us. We'll be back tomorrow. We'll wrap up this

904
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: old thing Cowboys versus Bears to then for Nick Even,
