I'm Kyle Yeoman. 17 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: So glad you're with us, and thank you for tuning 18 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: in the Monday after because I know it's always frustrating 19 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: following the Cowboys loss to listen to Cowboys content. I 20 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: understand I'm a born and raised Cowboys fan. I grew 21 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: up cheering for this team, and when they lose, I 22 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: am in a worse mood. 23 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 4: That's just plain and simple things. 24 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,919 Speaker 1: You can ask my family. You can ask my parents, 25 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: my wife. You can't ask my kids yet because they 26 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: can't tell you, but at some point they will. They're aware, 27 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: they are aware, and this was just another of two 28 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: straight losses. Let's just say that the last two losses 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: have been in the embarrassing category, and this is a 30 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: second one. In that case, nothing against the Carolina Panthers. 31 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: Their game plan was there, their execution was there. All 32 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: the flowers in the world. Rico Dwell he stood on business, 33 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: and I commend him for doing that. A team that 34 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,919 Speaker 1: did not stand on business is currently here. 35 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 2: In Dallas and their nickname is the Cowboys. 36 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: So with all that being said, Patrick, I'll open the 37 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: floor to you, Cowboys fall thirty to twenty seven, your 38 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: thoughts from being there on site at Bank of America Stadium. 39 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: You know, Beemer. 40 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 3: We might as well just title this this episode wasted. Wasted. 41 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: You had a career record center GTA, Yeah, yeah, exactly, 42 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 3: So when you play GTA. For those that don't know 43 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: grand theft auto. When you meet your demise, what pops 44 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 3: up on the screen is wasted. Appreciate That's exactly the 45 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: vibes right now, exactly the vibes. You wasted a career 46 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 3: record setting performance from George Pickens. He now has six 47 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 3: touchdowns through the first six games, first NFL player in 48 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: a Cowboys uniform to do that since the merger who 49 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: was not named Daz Briant. You wasted Hunter Lipke's first 50 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 3: career touchdown. You wasted contributions from Jake Ferguson and Ryan Flanoy. 51 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: You wasted a three touchdown zero interception effort from Dak Prescott. 52 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 3: You wasted an opportunity to go for go ahead touchdown 53 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 3: with two passes behind the line of scrimmage. 54 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 4: We will get to that later. You wasted an opportunity 55 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 4: on fourth. 56 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: And four to get the ball back for a mulligain 57 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: on your offensive side and a possible game winning drive. 58 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 3: You wasted a chance to gain ground on the Eagles 59 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 3: in the division after they lost to the New York Giants. 60 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 3: You made everyone want to go home and pull a 61 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: full Gucci man and get wasted. 62 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 5: Ah. 63 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: So, however you slice it, that is the vibes today. 64 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 3: Yesterday's game was one the Cowboys should have won, and 65 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: should have won handily, but they constantly allowed the Panthers 66 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 3: to hang around, and in doing so, they ended up 67 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 3: with the l defense outside of the Donovan Wilson interception 68 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: and the twenty one yard return. 69 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 4: That was the highlight of the day for the defense. 70 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 4: You need it more. 71 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 3: They couldn't stop the run. You said, Rico, he stood 72 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: on business. Cowboys were unbuckled. Hmmm, completely. They did not 73 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: buckle up. 74 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 4: They did not buckle up. Rico had a day. 75 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 3: Now he is now the first NFL player that has 76 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 3: gone that went undrafted in the history of the league 77 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 3: to have back to back two hundred plus scrimmage yards games. 78 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 3: So the Cowboys will forever be tied to Rico Dawdle 79 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,559 Speaker 3: in the history books. 80 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 6: Now. 81 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 3: So, yeah, wasted, just like GTA five and just like 82 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 3: when GTA six drops wasted. 83 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 7: Well, you know, you guys mentioned that you're both Cowboys fans. 84 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 7: I'm the only one at this table that's not a 85 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 7: Cowboys fan. 86 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 8: I don't really root for anybody. I just cover the sports. Yeah, 87 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 8: it's for me to be impartial. 88 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: That was bad. 89 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 8: That was very bad. I mean, I think Patrick hit 90 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 8: the nail on the head for most of it. You know, you. 91 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 7: Essentially, what we figured out about this team six games 92 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 7: into the season is if their offense does not play 93 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 7: perfect football and score on just about every possession, they're 94 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 7: going to lose. And that is wildly unfair to Dak 95 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 7: Prescott and Brian Schottenheimer and everybody who was trying to 96 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 7: move the ball downfield offensively. Now, I'll say this to 97 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 7: the offense did not help themselves by not establishing the 98 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 7: run game. They were very poor in that, and I 99 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 7: think it started up front. I think Javonte Williams had 100 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 7: a couple of plays that he didn't exactly read very 101 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 7: well and shot the wrong gaps. But you got a 102 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 7: credit Carolina their defensive front, Derek Brown. Those guys did 103 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 7: a really good job of nullifying a lot that Dallas 104 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 7: was trying to do. They one thing they'd done really 105 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 7: well is having their guards pull and move, and they 106 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 7: just took it out of the equation and they filled 107 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 7: where they needed to be and they did a really 108 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 7: good job against that. 109 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 8: So it was difficult. 110 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 7: And then obviously, you know, defensively, I mean, Bryce Young 111 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 7: is just having a field day and Rico Dowdell's having 112 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 7: a field There have been three players three times this 113 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 7: year where a player has gone for over two hundred 114 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 7: scrimmage yards in a game, and two of them are 115 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 7: from Rico. 116 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 8: Down in the last two weeks. So props to Rico. 117 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 8: I always enjoyed Rico when he was here. Happy for him. 118 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's super super cool to see him, 119 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 7: you know, do that after I think very evidently by 120 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 7: his comments last weekend this week, I think that he's 121 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 7: you know, he felt disrespected when the Cowboys said, hey, 122 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 7: we we maybe like this Drafonte Williams guy over you. 123 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 7: Was that the right decision? I guess we can we 124 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 7: can talk in retrospect. I think Davonte Williams has been 125 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 7: a really good player for this team. I just think 126 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 7: he didn't have a great game. But you know, you 127 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 7: look at the NFL leading rushers and man, how fast 128 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 7: did Rico Dowdell jump up jumps quick to the to 129 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 7: the front of the line there. 130 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 8: Let me, I'm trying to see exactly how long, but uh, 131 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 8: you know, he's. 132 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 7: Already third now by he's four yards by Javonte Williams 133 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 7: and he's played like three games. 134 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 8: So Gretto Rico, he's. 135 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 7: Playing really well and Carolina is a team that was 136 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 7: in need of a win like that. But man, you 137 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 7: think about how wildly different the outlook for this season 138 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 7: would be if they come out of this game of 139 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 7: the win. They're setting at three to two and one, 140 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 7: and they've got Washington coming up next week. If if 141 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 7: they were able to win that game, then not only 142 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 7: do you get to four wins early, but you get 143 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 7: a foothold, not a foothold really, but a stronger stance 144 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 7: in the division. With the Eagles loss to the Giants, 145 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 7: like you mentioned, so this is a game that they 146 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 7: needed to win. I mean every game he needed to 147 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 7: win in the NFL. But this is a league that 148 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 7: may have the most parody that this league has had 149 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 7: in a long time. You look across the board and 150 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 7: Dak Prescott was talking about it. 151 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 8: Ever of the game. 152 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 7: Any given Sunday, any team can beat another team, and 153 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 7: it's it's what makes this game super fun. But for 154 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 7: Cowboys fans, it's understandable to watch a lot of what 155 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 7: happened yesterday and say, man, you. 156 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 8: Just can't, you can't let some of this happen. 157 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: It also makes this game extremely frustrating, and that's why 158 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: Patrick's holding up a sign that says this is why 159 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: my other sign exists talking about the one that says 160 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: this does not imply that the Cowboys will win the 161 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. All of that being said, I think you 162 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: pointed it out great. Dallas did not establish a run, 163 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: so it's not all on the defensive side of the ball. 164 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: I thought Ashawn Robinson dominated the offensive line. 165 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 4: Yep. 166 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: Derek Brown dominated the offensive line. We kind of expected 167 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: Brown to do so, but Robinson was a little bit 168 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: of a shock. The offensive line gets two of their 169 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: starters back, Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith. The left side of 170 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: the offensive line is whole again, and you feel very 171 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: confident in doing so. 172 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: They didn't have a great game. They did not play well. 173 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: The offensive line struggled to set the ground game initially, 174 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: and it also struggled. 175 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: The block for Dak Prescott. 176 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: Dak had to escape a couple different times to allow 177 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: plays to develop. I mean, I thought, I mean there 178 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: was a couple of times in the first half, especially 179 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: where Dak rolled out of the pocket. I said, my goodness, 180 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: like that pocket collapsed quick, yep, and he was able 181 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: to still make a play. Dak is playing extremely good football, 182 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: extremely good. I don't want to put a tag on 183 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: at the MVP caliber stuff. We'll talk about that as 184 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: we keep going. But to harp on that every week 185 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: is one thing, But to just say you're playing good football. 186 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 6: He is. 187 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: He's playing tremendous football, and for him not to have 188 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: a winning record at this point in the season is 189 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: extremely disheartening. 190 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 3: We'll give you some stats that back that 'll wasted, okay, 191 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 3: since starts were first treck This is via Todd Archers 192 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: Shots Talk. Since starts were first trecked in nineteen fifty, 193 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott is the first quarterback to have eleven or 194 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 3: more total touchdowns with zero turnovers and a non winning 195 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 3: record over a three start span. M GB not great, Bob, 196 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: don't give you one more. Dak Prescott in his last 197 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 3: three games seventy four to one oh three, seventy two 198 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 3: completion percentage, eight hundred and seventeen passing yards, ten touchdown, 199 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 3: ten passing touchdowns, with one rushing touchdown, no interceptions. Dallas 200 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 3: has scored one hundred and four points in those three games. 201 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 3: They won, one lost, one tied one defense. What the 202 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 3: hell are you doing out there? Hell are you doing? 203 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a it's a frustrating scenario. Like I said, though, 204 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: it's not all on the defense. The offense did not. 205 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: Play well from it, not all round games from the 206 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 2: offensive line. 207 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 4: It's on the coaching as well. With that. 208 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: As much as we love shot, he's play calling. Yeah, 209 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 3: that last offensive position, it was bad. 210 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 8: Terrible, it was bad. 211 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 4: To stop it. 212 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: The I want to talk about the defense though, because 213 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: as much as I want to harp that the passing 214 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: game was working, George Pickens was great, Jake Ferguson made 215 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: an impact. Again, you still don't have Cede Lamb or 216 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: Cavante Turpin and you were still able to move the 217 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: ball through the air. The ground game, we talked about 218 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: it defensively. Where do you point your finger? Where do 219 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: you point it right now? If you're the defense, because 220 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: I still hang my hat on. You've got to finish pressures. 221 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: You got to get some level of pass rush. Dallas 222 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: had zero pass rush against the Carolina Panthers offensive line. 223 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: Let me say that again. The Cowboys had zero pass 224 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: rush against the Carolina Carolina Panthers. 225 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 2: They were offensive line zero. 226 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they did not play well at all on 227 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: the edge last yesterday. 228 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 3: Well, I'll see your question, Kyle, and I'll ask you 229 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 3: a better question follow up, not at quow not a 230 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: better question. Wrong, I'll ask you and to add on 231 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 3: question because that was a phenomenal question. 232 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 4: Where is the blame not placed. 233 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 3: On the defensive side of the ball because they couldn't 234 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 3: get the pass rush. Yeah, they couldn't stop the run. 235 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 3: Your linebackers played very poorly. Yeah, they did play bad. Okay, 236 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: and your secondary when you look at your safety. So 237 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 3: it was such a mercurial game for Donovan Wilson. You 238 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 3: get the interception in the twenty one yard return, which 239 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 3: then sets up Dak Prescott in the offense to put 240 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 3: points on the board, but not long thereafter, your eyes 241 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 3: get caught in the backfield. You had one assignment, which 242 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 3: was Teed McMillan on that particular play in the red zone, 243 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 3: and you let Teed McMillan get behind you. You peeled 244 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 3: off because you thought there was pressure on Bryce Young. 245 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if there was pressure back there or not. 246 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: That's not your responsibility to keep your eyes out of 247 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 3: the backfield. 248 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 4: But that goes to what you myself, Josh and Isaiah 249 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 4: have said. 250 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: You're talking about when Donovan sank down. When he sank down, See, 251 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: I thought he was looking at that that over. I 252 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: felt like he was because because Ted McMillan or T 253 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: mack or whatever he wants to be called, took a 254 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: quick burst inside and then he went right back outside, 255 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: put a foot in the ground, and he changed directions, 256 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: and it just went. 257 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 4: We'll go back and look at it. Either way it was. 258 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 3: I thought he was sinking on that en route, sinking 259 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: or eyes in them. Either way, either way, don't peel 260 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: off tip. But you're not supposed to bite if you're 261 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 3: the two high safety. I mean, it was a two 262 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 3: high safety shell. And if you're not gonna go down, 263 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 3: or if you're not gonna if you're not going to 264 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: have help underneath, you leave it there so that way 265 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 3: you can go and pursue and. 266 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: Make a tackle. As a turning back around and trying to. 267 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 3: Cover goes back to the to talking Cowboys. His main 268 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 3: point when it comes to Donovan Wilson is that utilization. 269 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 3: His utilization is not the fit is not there. You're 270 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 3: asking him to cover, but he's eternally going to want 271 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 3: to crash down eternally that was a perfect example of that. 272 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 3: So that's example of the secondary lack of pass rush 273 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 3: ted McMillan's second touchdown of the day, Sam Williams have 274 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 3: Bryce Young, Dad, the rights take you take Bryce Young 275 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 3: down on that play. It's no touchdown, but you didn't 276 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 3: he side step. He steps into a throw tech McMillan 277 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 3: back of the end zone wide open again. So, Cal 278 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 3: you make a great point with the question where's you know? 279 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 3: Where do you blame what he plays? To blame on defense? 280 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 3: My answer is yes, you placed it on all three phases, 281 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 3: all three levels. 282 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 7: I should say, I think you're right, But in my opinion, 283 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,599 Speaker 7: this is a football in general. Any level is a 284 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 7: line of scrimmage game. If you can't win it the 285 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 7: line of scrimmage, more often than not, you are going 286 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 7: to lose. Yeah, that's what the Cowboys are doing right now. 287 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 8: In the run game. 288 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 7: The last coming into this week, they were third. They 289 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 7: gave it the third and most rushing yards in the 290 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 7: league in weeks four and week five, and then they 291 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 7: do what they did against ric o' dawdle, And you 292 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 7: know the in this game, they only had two run 293 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 7: stuffs all game, and one of them was from Reddy Stewart. 294 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 7: If your nigkel corner has half of your run stuffs 295 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 7: in a game, that's not good. 296 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 8: That's not good. It's not good. 297 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 7: And Solomon Thomas had the other one. So you know, 298 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 7: this is a This is a team that has really 299 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 7: really struggled the last couple of weeks after I thought 300 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 7: they were okay to start. They weren't great, but they 301 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 7: were okay considering what they've been in the past. You 302 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 7: take okay over bad any day of the week, and 303 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 7: they've kind of reverted back to okay. They're just not 304 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 7: really not really playing the run very well. 305 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 8: And so you start with that. 306 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 7: And if you can't stop the run in today's NFL, 307 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 7: it's already difficult enough because then that opens up the 308 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 7: play action game and guys have all day to throw. 309 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 7: And why do they have all day to throw? Because 310 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 7: you don't have a pass rush. You don't have a 311 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 7: pass rush. And you know, I've seen all this talk 312 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 7: on Twitter of oh, well, if they had Michael Parsons, 313 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 7: then you know they this would be a much better defense. 314 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 8: I really don't think it would be. I don't think 315 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 8: it would. 316 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 7: They have a better pass rush, absolutely, and does that 317 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 7: fix some of the problems. It doesn't matter if Freakodal 318 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 7: is going to run for two hundred yards on you. 319 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 8: It doesn't. It just doesn't. 320 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 7: So you know, there is blame across the board defensively, 321 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 7: but I think it starts up front on the defensive line, 322 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 7: because if you can't stop the run and you can't 323 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 7: get pressure on a quarterback, it doesn't matter if you're 324 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 7: playing Bryce Young or whoever the quarterback is at South 325 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 7: Lake Carol. 326 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: He's pretty good quarterback. 327 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 8: They're undfeet Is he really there? 328 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 7: You go shout to Riley Dodge because that's on hundred 329 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 7: wins coach that that they're just going to have a 330 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 7: field day on you, and it's it's exactly what happens, 331 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 7: and this happened in this game. And then well you say, okay, 332 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 7: well then let's look back at the Jets. 333 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 8: Why did why did that work? 334 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 7: Well, they didn't stop the run particularly well, but they 335 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 7: had a pass Rudd. 336 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 8: Those sacks, they had five sacks and they had one 337 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 8: sack on bra I don't know. 338 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 3: The utilization piece is just going to bug me to 339 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 3: death because Donald is one thing. And that's why I'm 340 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 3: not placing it all on Donald he's got it. He's 341 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: got to stick to his assignment. So I do place 342 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 3: portion of that on him, but again misutilization, But then 343 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 3: sometimes that's fair and he's got to learn if he's 344 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 3: going to Half of it is on him, absolutely. The 345 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 3: other half is on eber Flus. Another thing that's they's 346 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 3: blame to go around right, Another thing that's Onlu when 347 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 3: it comes to utilization. Look at the fourth and four 348 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 3: which ended up being the nail in the coffin the 349 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 3: fourth and four throw by Bryce Yield. Yeah, so at 350 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 3: initially when you look at the steel photo pre snap, 351 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 3: you're going to get pissed off because you're going to say, 352 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 3: why the hell is your all pro cornerback who's proven 353 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 3: that he can be physical because he came into the 354 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 3: league and he played nickel for you ten twelve, one 355 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 3: million yards back of Hunter renfro. 356 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 4: So that's the stillest. 357 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: If you're going to the sticks, you're going to the sticks, 358 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: and here's talk talk. 359 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: I've got I've got a text thread and talk to him, Barry. 360 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 2: I know what would be fine with me? Yeah, we'd 361 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: be fine. 362 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: I sent him a couple of those screenshots from last night, 363 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: and this was after postgame. So we had talked about 364 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: it on post game and then I sent him some 365 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: more stuff. Barry said the play him meant. There was 366 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: debate on Twitter. Let's back it up. There's debate on 367 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: Twitter whether it was Kenneth Murray at fault because he 368 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: didn't get over in time. 369 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 4: To cover Murray taken after year of. 370 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: The field, Murray was trying to get over to get 371 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: there instead of the blame being on Dron Bland. Darron 372 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: Bland had outside leverage prior to the snap. When we 373 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: were watching the game, Isaiah Stanback, who's not on the 374 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: show today, said why are you playing outside leverage on 375 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: fourth and four? Why are you playing outside leverage on 376 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: fourth and fourth? Why are you playing outside leverage with 377 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: cover zero on fourth and fourth. This was prior to 378 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: the snap, so before the snap even happened. A former 379 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: quarterback who was on Good Morning Football this morning was 380 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: looking at that play and saying, that's where the ball 381 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: should go because that's where the disadvantages for a guy 382 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: like darn Blaine. 383 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 2: And that was before he backed out. Then he backed down. 384 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: He said, why are you backing up? Why are you 385 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 2: backing up? 386 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: And then Barry Church chimed in and I asked him 387 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: after the fact. I was like, do you think Murray 388 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: was at fault or do you think Bland was at fault? 389 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: And he said he may have been told to play 390 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: back de Ron Bland because the play was coming to him, 391 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: and or because Murray was coming over to him, but 392 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: not ten yards deep. On fourth down and four, he said, 393 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: at the worst, his heels should be at the sticks. 394 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: Talking about de Ron blaant, you should not be eight 395 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: to ten yards back behind the line of scrimmage, if 396 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: even if you are getting help from Kenneth Murray. So 397 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray did his best. He took a step and 398 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: tried to get that direction and almost broke the bats up. 399 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: He was about a foot and a half away. But 400 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: to blame Kenneth Murray, there is one thing to say, 401 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: Deron Bland. It has no blame for playing eight to 402 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: ten yards off the line of scrimmage. A former safety says, 403 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: your heels got to be at the sticks because it's 404 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: the sticks that's where they're trying to go. 405 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 4: I think that get there that play. 406 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 3: Everything you described is a microcosm of what's wrong with 407 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 3: the Cowboys defense right now and the answer is, is 408 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 3: everything right? You little's little details of everything. So if 409 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 3: you're criticizing Eberflus for that, and you should be, you're 410 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,479 Speaker 3: asking why in the world is Deron Bland plane eight 411 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 3: to ten yards off and backing out? Now I get 412 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 3: the play scheme. Your goal was an overunder with Murray 413 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 3: having the under. But then again, like you said, Deron, 414 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 3: why'd you back up even more? Yeah, that that shouldn't 415 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 3: have happened. But if you're gonna back up, then back up, 416 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 3: and then look at Kenneth Murray on the play he 417 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 3: was he was cheating a little bit too hard to 418 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 3: the left, to the left down. 419 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 4: So if you are the. 420 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 3: Under in the over under and you see Deron Bland, 421 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 3: you know Deron Bland is back and then backing up, 422 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 3: you should shade in that direction. And if you shade 423 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 3: in that direction, you probably get that PBu maybe. So 424 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 3: then the question is did you overestimate your speed in 425 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 3: that situation thinking that I can shade left and still 426 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 3: make it back over here as well? The overestimation didn't 427 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 3: work out in your favor. So I place equal parts 428 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 3: blame on Fluse four not putting Duran up front and 429 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 3: just letting him physic get physical with Hunter Renfro, you know, 430 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 3: try to disrupt that timing. And at the same time, 431 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 3: Kenneth Murray, you've got you got to get to that ball. 432 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 3: Don't don't shade to the left when you see that 433 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 3: the spacing is on. You know what's going on on 434 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 3: the right hand side. So and then what happens, no 435 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: pass rush ball game. 436 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 8: And you know, just to put a bow on that 437 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 8: last play on fourth down. 438 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 7: When you watch it, Kenneth Murray hesitates for half a 439 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 7: second when he's reading Bryce Young's eyes and then he 440 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 7: breaks to try and break that pass up. 441 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 8: That was the difference. 442 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 7: And look, Kenneth Murray, it's a tough position to be 443 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 7: in because it is his assignment to step into the 444 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 7: middle of the field. And when Deron Bland is playing, 445 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 7: as Patrick said, a million yards off the line of scrimmage, 446 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 7: you're almost begging the offense to throw a quick slant 447 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 7: there right That ball's getting out quick and you're just 448 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 7: trying to get him because he's got that cushion because 449 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 7: the linebackers playing on the opposite side of where he's 450 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 7: lined up, so he's got a cross. Essentially, the entire 451 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 7: middle of the field, hash to hash in order to 452 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 7: get there. If it's oh man, I don't anybody in 453 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 7: Kenneth Murray's plays, any linebacker on this team, No one's 454 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 7: getting there. They don't have the personnel where they can 455 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 7: rely on somebody to cross the field and that much time. 456 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 8: Unless debarve on Over was. 457 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 2: Going to there's one he's not on the acting. He's 458 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: got to be one hundred percent. 459 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 7: He's got to be one hundred percent and he's still 460 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 7: probably got to get his arm out and dive to 461 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 7: break up that pass because that got out quick. 462 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, but he's still got to get there pretty damp. 463 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 7: So it's it's disappointing because you know that that's a 464 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 7: play where it should be there, and you know you wonder, Okay, 465 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 7: if Bland lines up a little bit closer, can he 466 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 7: get over and try to knock something away. Well, then 467 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 7: you risk the pass interference part of it, and they 468 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 7: were throwing quite a bit of passing reference penalties out yesterday. 469 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 7: So yeah, maybe maybe we can get some explanation later 470 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 7: on on that play. But it looks like that's one 471 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 7: where there's once again flames spread across the board because 472 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 7: guys are. 473 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 8: Not putting in his position to succeed. 474 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 7: And it goes back to here Donovan Wilson talk. I 475 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 7: don't think Donovan Wilson's been putting in this position to 476 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 7: succeed a lot because they're asking him to cover more 477 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 7: often than not. Donovan Wilson should not have as many 478 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 7: coverage responsibilities as he has. Should Is he going to 479 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 7: get some naturally?

How you just summed it all up. 576 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: But there has been a lot of talk about what 577 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: to do next on the defensive side of the football. 578 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: Is there need for a change when it comes to 579 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: the coordinator position this early in the season. Remember we're 580 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: six games in, We're a third of the way through. 581 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: Is there a change for personnel?

And so do you write it out and 585 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: just hope it gets better with injuries and guys that 586 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: are returning from injury. That being the case, there's options 587 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: here for the Dallas Cowboys. Where would you start if 588 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: you were in the GM shoes? 589 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 3: Patrick noci Walk putn't my gmcap one first and foremost. 590 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: I am absolutely entertaining a trade of some Just to 591 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 3: remind everyone, we're not permitted to say names of players 592 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 3: that cannot actually obligate it to other teams because it's fewed, 593 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 3: it's tampering. But I would absolutely go in trade. You're 594 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 3: two three and one right now. Is the season completely lost? 595 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 11: No? 596 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 3: But it's on the verge of it. It's like we 597 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 3: were talking about before we went hot on the first segment. 598 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 3: You're on the verge of it. You drop this game 599 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 3: to the commanders, who knows what happened happens against the Broncos. 600 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 3: So now is the time if you're going to make 601 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 3: a change to the personnel, because as it stands, your returnees, 602 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 3: notwithstanding which Demo is a he's like the warhead they're 603 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 3: hoping returns here soon, and he will return soon. We'll 604 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 3: see if that's early mid November, which is my prediction, 605 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 3: but that's just me. So, yeah, you get the warhead back, 606 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 3: but you know, does he need some grace to get 607 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 3: back to one hundred percent to be able to make 608 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 3: the play that Murray was unable to make in that situation. 609 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 4: We'll see. 610 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 3: But you can't solely depend on DeMar Fion Overshown coming 611 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 3: back from injured reserve. So for me, I'm going to 612 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 3: make a trade. That's my GM CAP personnel changes. You 613 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 3: made a personnel change yesterday that I floated on the 614 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 3: show two or three weeks ago when Deron Blank came back. 615 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 3: You made that change. Trevon Diggs is on the outside, 616 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 3: Darn Bland is on the outside. Ready Stewart is at 617 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 3: your nickel, yep. So you granted me that. Thank you 618 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 3: didn't much help yesterday, but you know you granted me that. 619 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 3: From the defensive interior, you brought in Kenny Clark, you 620 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 3: sat Mazie again, so you're figuring things out. 621 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 2: Kenny Clark had his worst game of he did. 622 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 4: The defensive interior didn't have a great game. 623 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 2: You didn't play well. 624 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 4: Gass rushers didn't have a great game. 625 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: The one part of this defense that all season long 626 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: Weight said was consistent and better than everybody else ended 627 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: up having their worst. 628 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 3: And you know, I hate to say this, but this 629 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 3: is where we are, man, And I'm laughing while I'm 630 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 3: about to say it, And the chat's going to go 631 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 3: crazy when I say it, because so not only would 632 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 3: I trade for maybe some linebackers sistance, you gotta get a. 633 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 2: Pass rust to get an edge. 634 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 4: You got to get an edge thrussure man. So yeah, 635 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 4: they traded away Michael Parsons. And you know me, I've 636 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 4: not been on that. 637 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 3: Like once it happened, it is like, all right, let's 638 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 3: just kind of move on now that we moved on 639 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 3: from that happening. Because nothing wipes up that spilled milk. 640 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 3: You can at least acknowledge the error in that there 641 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 3: is the pass rush. You need pass rush, so I 642 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 3: go trade for a linebacker, I trade for a paths rusher. 643 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 3: As far as that's the GM cap, the owner cap, 644 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 3: I don't think they make a change right now with DC. 645 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 3: I think they see enough from their perview. This is 646 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 3: not me speaking from their perview. I think they see 647 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 3: enough positive with the scheme. And like you said, some 648 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 3: of this is. 649 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,719 Speaker 4: Accountable to the players, absolutely right. 650 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 3: So because of that ladder point that a part of 651 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 3: that sentence, I think it buys Eberflus more time. I 652 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 3: think shot he wants to give Eberflus this entire season. 653 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 3: He wants to see it work out. Now ask me 654 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 3: this question at the end of the year. If it 655 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 3: continues as it is and then it starts to smell 656 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 3: like a Mike Nolan situation, yeah, it. 657 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 2: Very easily could. 658 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 6: Yeah. 659 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you on that since but I'll 660 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 2: get to my point here in a minute, Tommy. 661 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 8: So let me ask you this. 662 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 7: Guys, when we talk about windows for championships in Super 663 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 7: Bowls and things like that, sure, usually your window gets 664 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 7: opened when you stack together some really good drafts, and 665 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 7: in recent history it's been some really good drafts, one 666 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 7: of which you get your rookie quarterback, and you're paying 667 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 7: a rookie quarterback. Well, right now, the Cowboys have got 668 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 7: Dak Prescott's their window is a little bit different, and 669 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 7: he's playing at such a high level that you want 670 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 7: to be able to maximize that. So he's got three 671 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 7: years left after is it three years or two years 672 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 7: after this year? 673 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 8: Three years after this year? 674 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 7: So three years left on his deal after this year. 675 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 7: You've got two first round picks in the next two drafts. 676 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 7: And you should never tank. I'm not a fan of tanking, 677 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 7: and it's not a thing like, it's not something that 678 00:31:59,520 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 7: you should do. 679 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 8: You play to win the game. 680 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 7: But when you have that draft capital that is so valuable, 681 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 7: and you were willing to move off of an all 682 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 7: world pass rusher to obtain that draft capital, I think 683 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 7: you use it with the long term in mind, and 684 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 7: you want to maximize on that window. Right So I 685 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 7: understand your point of making a trade for right now, 686 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 7: and again the season has not lost. 687 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 4: A two three, you have extra picks from that, and 688 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 4: you have extra. 689 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 7: Picks, But I don't think there is a single player 690 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 7: that you can trade for right now, even two or 691 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 7: three players that would wildly change the landscape of this defense. 692 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 7: I really just don't think there are that many that 693 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 7: would take this from a unit that has been basically 694 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 7: dead last in terms of yards allowed per game to 695 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 7: all of a sudden, you know, Okay, this is going 696 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 7: to be a even a top half of the NFL defense. 697 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 7: I just don't think they're there right now. I don't 698 00:32:55,400 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 7: think they have the personnel for that. So I think 699 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 7: you have to kind of mix the long term shot 700 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 7: with the present, and there's gonna be some things where 701 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 7: either way you're going to just have to live with 702 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 7: what you got, but you have to build towards the future. 703 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 7: And the good thing about this team is they have 704 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 7: drafted fairly well compared to other teams. 705 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,479 Speaker 8: Sure, you're going to have your missus here and there, 706 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 8: You're never not you. 707 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 2: Need more contributions from your current but you need. 708 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 8: More contributions from your current class. 709 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 7: And if you're going to use those two first round 710 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 7: picks in the next two years, boy do those four 711 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 7: guys have to hit or two or three of the 712 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 7: four pretty quickly. 713 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 8: And so you know, what are they going to do? 714 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 8: Who knows? 715 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 7: I'm with Patrick and I'm sure you stand the same, Kyle. 716 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 7: I don't think they're going to move on from Mattiberflus. 717 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 8: It just doesn't. That's not going to fix anything. That's 718 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 8: not going to fix anything because. 719 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 7: Right now, who else so you can what's the interim 720 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 7: going to change that isn't already an issue? So I 721 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,479 Speaker 7: don't think that's the I don't think that's the solution. 722 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 7: I think this is really more of the personnel right 723 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 7: now is not where it needs to be to have 724 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 7: an league defense. 725 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 8: I just don't think it is. 726 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 4: All you need is this defense to be mid. 727 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 8: They don't even need to be great. They need to 728 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 8: be a. 729 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 3: If they're just mid, you you're probably you're over five 730 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 3: hundred if they're just mid. 731 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 6: Yeah. 732 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: And that's where my point comes in. I agree with 733 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: everything that you guys have just said. First, let me 734 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,240 Speaker 1: just start off by saying, if we thought ibra Flus 735 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: was going to be moved on from, or that he 736 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: deserved to be moved on from, we are allowed to 737 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: say that on the show. I just want to let 738 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: that be clear. We can talk that before we've absolutely 739 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: absolutely Mike Nolan's won. Mike Zimmer was another one. Mike 740 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: McCarthy that conversation. We've talked about it, Yeah, we've we've 741 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: had that that ability to. 742 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 2: Talk about that stuff all, which is it's not going 743 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 2: to happen. 744 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen, and I don't think it should 745 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: happen right this secon It's week six, guys, Week six 746 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: of the NFL season. So don't expect it to happen 747 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: next week or the week after or the week after. 748 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: Don't expect it, honestly before the end of the season. 749 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: Unless the season's out of reach and you are out 750 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: of playoff contention and your team is one of the 751 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: worst defensively in the in the league, which very could, 752 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: very well could happen, then you can maybe talk about 753 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: it because then you're moving on. 754 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 2: You're not giving up. 755 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: They're not giving up on the season yet, So Mattyberflues 756 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: will remain your defensive coordinator. 757 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 4: That's just part of it. 758 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: What happened, you guys, remember what happened on August twenty 759 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: eighth of this year of this year. Isn't that the 760 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: that's the mic that was the Mica trade. Since that day, 761 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys acquired a couple of first round picks. Right, 762 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: I've said, hold on to those picks, use them from 763 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 1: a draft standpoint, Yes, you have and build toward twenty six, 764 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty eight. 765 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 4: That's the draft show, and you're talking. 766 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 2: I love the NFL Draft, I love the Draft show. 767 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: I love all of that. 768 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 2: I'm super excited about those first round picks. 769 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: I would love to draft those first round picks because 770 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 1: your team's good enough to have those first round. 771 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 2: Picks and still be in contention. But kind of what 772 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,240 Speaker 2: Tommy just said. 773 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: The window of opportunity a lot of times coincides with 774 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: the window of how your quarterback is playing, and the 775 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 1: window of what your quarterback is playing right now is 776 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: the best that it's ever been. Dak Prescott is playing 777 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: his best football of his career, and just like Patrick 778 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: said in the open, you're wasting it. You're wasting this 779 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: opportunity with Dak Prescott and an offense around him with weapons. 780 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: George Pickens, Mike Oh, George Pickens is just playing at 781 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: an extremely high level and he doesn't even have Ceedee 782 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: Lamb opposite of him. Ceedee Lamb's coming back. He's going 783 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: to be fine. Jake Ferguson is the leading tight end 784 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: receiving or leading receiving tight end in the NFL. Right now, 785 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: you have the top tight end, you have one of 786 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 1: the most explosive players, and you have an elite wide 787 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: receiver and a quarterback that's playing in an MVP caliber level. 788 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: I don't need this defense to be top three or four. 789 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: I don't need them to be top three or four 790 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: of the NFL, and I don't think they can get there. 791 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: They could trade for two All pros and they're probably 792 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: not there. But what you can do is make some 793 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: conservative effort to improve the personnel on the defensive side 794 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: of the football and get them to a point where 795 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: they are serviceable. That's what I'm asking for. You don't 796 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 1: need to trade for an All Pro. You don't need 797 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: to spin those first round picks, though. If the opportunity 798 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 1: is there and the price is right, then come on down. 799 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: Let's try and get a little All Pro. Let's go 800 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: Bob Barker, Let's go Drew whatever carry is and whatever 801 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: his name is, Drew Carrey. I would be fine trading 802 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: those picks now, more so than ever, just because I've 803 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: seen how elite this offense is and you are so 804 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 1: close on the offensive side. You just got to get 805 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: closer on the defensive side, close that gap a little bit, 806 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: and I think this is a football team that with 807 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: a wide open division, can win the division and make 808 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: some noise because of how elite they are on the 809 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: offensive side. Defense win championships, but so do elite offenses. 810 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: We've seen that in the modern day. 811 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 2: NFL too. Got to find a way to make them 812 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 2: better because right now it's not working. 813 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,240 Speaker 4: Welcome to the Welcome to the trade party. 814 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 2: I'm here, but I'm here. Let's make something happen. 815 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 7: I think I think you have a good point there, 816 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 7: and and I wouldn't mind trading draft capital for sure 817 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 7: better players. 818 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 819 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 7: Again, though, if you're going to trade, if you're going 820 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 7: to trade one of those, or even both of those, 821 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 7: let's let's. 822 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 2: Hold on one of them. 823 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 7: Well, if you're if you're gonna say, say, trade one 824 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,439 Speaker 7: for one elite player and there for another elite player, 825 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 7: I really just do not think will it make a difference. 826 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 7: Absolutely will take this defense from good to maybe mediocre. 827 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: Sure, probably that's all I think you need. That that's 828 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: to a degree. 829 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, But if we are talking about the goal being 830 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 7: winning a super Bowl, I don't think that's enough. I 831 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 7: think you need to have both an elite offense and 832 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 7: an elite defense in today's NFL, because you look at 833 00:38:59,080 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 7: I think you do. 834 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 8: You look at the Kansas City Chiefs. 835 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 7: They've got an elite quarterback, and they've got a defense 836 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 7: that plays really well under Steve Spagnol with elite players everywhere. 837 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 2: Solid. 838 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 7: You look at Philadelphia Eagles, they have an elite offense, 839 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 7: maybe not this year, and an elite defense that has 840 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,280 Speaker 7: playmakers everywhere. 841 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 8: If that's what we're. 842 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 7: Comparing this to, and that's what history has shown in 843 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 7: recent years that is necessary to win a Super Bowl, 844 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,720 Speaker 7: Cowboys don't have that, and I don't think two trades 845 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 7: would necessarily change that, and. 846 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 8: It very rarely would it, very rarely would it. 847 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 7: Are there players out there that you trade a first 848 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 7: round pick or whatever to help this defense? 849 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 8: Absolutely, the bar is not very high. 850 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: So with that mindset, and I don't think you're entirely wrong, 851 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: you have to be better. I just think this offense 852 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: is good enough to carry the load. That's all I'm saying. Sure, 853 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: But if we're going to go by that mentality and 854 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: we're that conversation, let's start trading players. Let's throw in 855 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,439 Speaker 1: the towel here in a couple of weeks, if things 856 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: don't go your way and Washington or against Washington in Denver, 857 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: you go into the bye week and you're what two 858 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: five and one at that point, Let's go ahead, Let's 859 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: let's start building toward that time. Let's start building toward 860 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight, because you have the 861 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: draft capitlo already. Let's just scrap this thing and get going, because, 862 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: like you said initially, with the current window that Dak 863 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: Prescott is playing in, it's whoever you're drafting in those 864 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: first round opportunities is either going to have to hit 865 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: immediately or it's going to be a quarterback playing. 866 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 2: That's just part of it. And then Dak's career at 867 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 2: that point will be in. 868 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 4: The rearview mirror. 869 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 3: So here's here's my counter point, and this is why 870 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 3: I shook my head, Tommy. I don't think, well, it 871 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 3: would be ideal, goes what I was saying. It will 872 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 3: be ideal for you to be able to build a 873 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,720 Speaker 3: situation where you have an elite defense and an elite offense. 874 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 3: Every NFL team, that's what that's the goal, that's the goal. 875 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 3: But not every Super Bowl winner has that. So then 876 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 3: you go and look at each respective Super Bowl winning 877 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 3: you ask yourself which side of the ball won them 878 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Okay, there are situations where if you 879 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 3: have an elite defense, then your offense can be just average, 880 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 3: slightly above average, just do enough, and it's the end 881 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 3: versus true as well. So if this situation where dak 882 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 3: is playing out of his mind and George Pickens is 883 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 3: playing out of his mind and Seedy Land when he 884 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 3: comes back, gets back to playing out of his mind, 885 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 3: and yesterday's game against the Panthers, notwithstanding Javonte Williams and 886 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 3: the rushing attack gets back on treasures your offense. We 887 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 3: can all agree that your offense is elite. What you 888 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 3: need from your defense is to be average to slightly 889 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 3: above average. But in that you need takeaways. Yes, you 890 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 3: have to get takeaways. You can't be so this is 891 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 3: where I agree with you. You can't simply be average 892 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 3: to slightly above average and that's it. You have to 893 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 3: be slightly above average but have splash plays. The Cowboys 894 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 3: defense is not only poor right now and the worst 895 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 3: in the league just generally speaking, in several major categories 896 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 3: and most of that matter, they're also the worst in 897 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 3: league and splash plays and taking them ball away and 898 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 3: giving up splash and giving. 899 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 4: Up splash plays. So look at the spectrum. Look at 900 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 4: the spectrum. 901 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 3: You're giving up a bunch of explosive plays, but you're 902 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 3: not generating explosive plays on your side of the ball either. 903 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 3: It's it's a recipe for disaster and that's what we're seeing. 904 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 3: So this Cowboys team or just just strip it away 905 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,839 Speaker 3: because people are going to take what I'm about to say. 906 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 4: So, oh, you know, see you're saying the Cowboys can. 907 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 2: That's not what I'm saying now, And that's not what 908 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 2: I'm saying either. 909 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 3: Let's say any NFL team, any NFL team, any of 910 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 3: the thirty two. You can win a Super Bowl with 911 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:39,240 Speaker 3: an elite offense and an average to slightly above average defense, 912 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,439 Speaker 3: as long as that defense is doing two things. One 913 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 3: limiting explosive plays, which by definition makes you slightly above 914 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 3: average or better, and creating explosive plays with takeaways and 915 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 3: force fumbles. You put that together, that can win you 916 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. It doesn't have to be elite plus elite. 917 00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,359 Speaker 4: That's ideal. That's what everybody wants. 918 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 1: I want to hear it Tommy's rebuttal after the break. 919 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 1: We gotta go to the break Tommy's rebuttal when we 920 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: come back. 921 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 6: How's it going. You see that Cowboys game? 922 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 1: Oh? 923 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,359 Speaker 6: I watched. I've been seeing some good thanks totally.

Do you let it ride with the draft 977 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 1: picks that you've got, or do you continue on as 978 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: you're going and figure out it down the line, which 979 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 1: is probably what's ultimately gonna happen. But Tommy Patrick had 980 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 1: just given his thoughts, I want you to rebuttle here. 981 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you know. 982 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 7: Part of the reason why all of us are agreeing 983 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 7: with so many different aspects of what we're all saying 984 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 7: is because there is no concrete answer or solution to 985 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 7: this right now, really just going off of what history 986 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,840 Speaker 7: has shown us recently, and because everybody had the answer 987 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 7: everybody be winning super Bowls, but look, I think that 988 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 7: you need to have a really strong presence on both 989 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 7: sides of the football more often than not to be 990 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 7: able to win you Super Bowl. And it's not always 991 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,839 Speaker 7: because teams have done without that. I think the prime 992 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 7: example of that, and I'm apologizing in advance to Cowboys fans, 993 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,280 Speaker 7: is the twenty twenty three Cowboys. 994 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 8: Because Dak Prescott on the offense, they're playing at an 995 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 8: unbelievably high level. The defense was I. 996 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 7: Would categorize as above average, above average to average. And 997 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 7: look at what happens when the Green bit Packers come 998 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 7: into town. They walk the floor with you, mop the 999 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 7: floor with you, whatever the term is. Sure, it's not 1000 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 7: even close. And so that's what I'm saying is, you know, 1001 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,280 Speaker 7: that's a defense that had Michael Parsons. That's a defense 1002 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 7: that had all of the pieces, most of the pieces 1003 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,879 Speaker 7: that they've got that you know, you would say, okay, 1004 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 7: And I think really that was a team that you 1005 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,719 Speaker 7: could say of all the Cowboys team in the last 1006 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 7: thirty years where they've been in the strout, that team 1007 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 7: was up there and the ones that had the best 1008 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 7: chance to win all oh seven fourteen yeah, yeah, maybe 1009 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 7: not the best, but up there with it. And they 1010 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,400 Speaker 7: had what you guys are talking about a elite offense 1011 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 7: with a average to above average defense. 1012 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 8: And look at what happens Week one. 1013 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,680 Speaker 4: But you know what, you didn't have a single takeaway 1014 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 4: in that game. 1015 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 7: And but but but to the takeaways point, Cowboys have 1016 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 7: won the turnover battle the last three games. They've been 1017 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 7: plus in the turnover battle of the last three games. 1018 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,279 Speaker 7: But you're giving only won, Well, that's what I'm saying 1019 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 7: is but yeah, it's exactly exactly. 1020 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 6: It's it. 1021 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 8: It doesn't even matter. 1022 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 7: And yes, the turnover battle is something that every coach, 1023 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 7: regardless of level, every time we call a high school game, 1024 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 7: what are the keys to the game? 1025 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 8: Coach had got to win the turnover battle. 1026 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,359 Speaker 7: You can win the turnover battle and it won't matter 1027 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 7: if you're giving up. You know, like like I, you're 1028 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,240 Speaker 7: ready for the Panthers play calls in the fourth. 1029 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 8: Quarter, run run, run, run, run, run, run. 1030 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:15,319 Speaker 7: Pass, run, pass, touchdowns, run, pass, pass, punt, run, pass, pass, run, pass, pass, run, run, pass, pass, run, run, run, run, run, 1031 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:15,799 Speaker 7: field goal. 1032 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:16,840 Speaker 2: That's a lot of runs. 1033 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 4: They were cooking the clock on purpose, which was very well. 1034 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: They were, which is very so I thought David Hellman 1035 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,759 Speaker 1: put out a great tweet. I don't have it in 1036 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 1: front of me, but I'm paraphrasing. He basically is saying, 1037 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: one of the most embarrassing parts of this defensive performance 1038 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,279 Speaker 1: is that you gave the ball back to Carolina with 1039 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 1: about six minutes left, and you weren't able to touch 1040 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,840 Speaker 1: the ball again. That's that was part of the problem 1041 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: in that whole sense. So I do I agree with you, Tommy, 1042 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 1: and I agree with you in different ways. I think 1043 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,320 Speaker 1: you're not close enough yet to categorize this as a 1044 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl contingent team, and you probably won't when you 1045 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: make a move of some sort. 1046 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 2: But I think a pass rusher and a solidified either 1047 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 2: safety corner throw them in the secondary. We'll figure it 1048 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,399 Speaker 2: out one way or the other. Will help limit those 1049 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 2: big plays. 1050 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 1: They will limit the pass play or the splash plays 1051 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 1: that have really hurts you to this point because the 1052 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: edge rusher. If you're able to get home with an 1053 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: edge rusher that's elite and elevate the rest of the 1054 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 1: edge rushers in that rotation, all of a sudden, the 1055 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,320 Speaker 1: time clock starts to shrink. 1056 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:21,359 Speaker 2: Your time clock. 1057 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 1: As a quarterback to operate, starts to shrink. That puts 1058 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,280 Speaker 1: less stress on your secondary. And if you've got another 1059 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,879 Speaker 1: body in the say secondary, whether it's a safety, whether 1060 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 1: it's a corner, doesn't really matter. We'll have a conversation, 1061 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 1: i'm sure at some point this week about Trayvon Diggs 1062 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 1: and his play and what it has been through the 1063 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: first month and a half. He hasn't been there, he 1064 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 1: hasn't been it. It hasn't been good. So maybe you 1065 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 1: get a corner to solidify one side of the field, 1066 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 1: Maybe you do something like that. They're one or two 1067 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 1: moves away from being serviceable. I agree with you, though, Tommy, 1068 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,959 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to be elite. They would 1069 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,920 Speaker 1: love to be the twenty twenty three Cowboys defense. That's 1070 00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: where they would love to be. But it gave them 1071 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,840 Speaker 1: a shot in two three, and they missed their shot. 1072 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,799 Speaker 1: I think Dak Prescott's playing at a level right now 1073 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 1: to where you can bank on them having a shot 1074 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 1: as long as the defense is service. 1075 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 3: Really really quick, because I'm looking at the time and 1076 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 3: then I'll know we close out the thing. And I'm 1077 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 3: glad you brought up the Green Bay game because it 1078 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,919 Speaker 3: actually makes my point, this was one of the best 1079 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,800 Speaker 3: defenses in the league that season. But you know what, 1080 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 3: they struggled against run defense. Yes, right, So it's it's 1081 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 3: always you can't be elite if you're strugg if you 1082 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 3: have a gaping hole somewhere. Rather it be and giving 1083 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,400 Speaker 3: up chunk players or stopping the run. They had an issue. 1084 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:32,120 Speaker 2: Could not stop the run. 1085 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 3: They were the best in the league at taking the 1086 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 3: ball away. Okay, green Bay came in, they couldn't stop 1087 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 3: the run and they didn't take the ball away. 1088 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 2: It was all the red flags. 1089 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 4: So there you go. That's my point. 1090 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 3: So that means they were not an elite defense because 1091 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,719 Speaker 3: when the time came to really buck up and it's 1092 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,919 Speaker 3: postseason and you're at home and you're against the Green 1093 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 3: Bay Backpackers, you didn't need You suffered against run defense, 1094 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 3: which is something you had done all season, and you 1095 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 3: were unable to do the one thing that made you great, 1096 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 3: which were splash plays and not allowing chunk plays. So 1097 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 3: that means they were never really a great defense that year. 1098 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 3: They just were great at takeaways, and then they weren't 1099 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:09,880 Speaker 3: able to get none of you get in it against 1100 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 3: the Green Bay Packers, and then the run defense showed 1101 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 3: you what it was against the Green Bay Packers. So 1102 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,439 Speaker 3: you don't need an elite and elite. You want both. 1103 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 3: You want both to be elite. But you're not gonna. 1104 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,840 Speaker 3: I've watched too much NFL football to believe that you 1105 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,760 Speaker 3: require both of those things to be perfectly in sync 1106 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:27,719 Speaker 3: to win the Super Bowl. 1107 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,279 Speaker 4: That's rarely the case, actually, so, I. 1108 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,920 Speaker 3: Mean, even if you go back and look at Eagles Chiefs, 1109 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 3: the defense won that game for the Eagles, not the offense. 1110 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 4: The offense. 1111 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:36,880 Speaker 6: Uh. 1112 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 2: One word answers and then we're getting out of here. 1113 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 2: Are you moving on? 1114 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 1: For Maddie refuse no too soon. That's two words, so 1115 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:49,480 Speaker 1: yes or no oh no, by no no for me. 1116 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: For you, it's four words, chuck all right. 1117 00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 3: And then it was like Tupac like the number two, 1118 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 3: and then soon so too. So the picks, the first 1119 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 3: round picks, trade them or keep them? 1120 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 8: Keep them? 1121 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 4: Trade them. 1122 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say trade one. I'm gonna trade them. 1123 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:08,320 Speaker 4: Split your difference. 1124 00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:09,319 Speaker 2: I'll split the difference, all right. 1125 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 4: Switch. 1126 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 2: That's gonna do it for us. 1127 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 6: I did. 1128 00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 1: I flipped the script. I've had a change of heart today. 1129 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for us.
