Speaker 1: episode number fifty one. Welcome to the latest edition of

9
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: The Break. We're live from this s WBC Mortgage studios

10
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: at the Star. We are in a great mood this morning,

11
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: ready to get going, ready to talk about that Cowboys

12
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: game yesterday. Was not a good outcome for the Cowboys.

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: They lose twenty five five to three to the Washington

14
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: football team. But we're all here together and we're all

15
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: healthy and we get to talk football. So hey, there's

16
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: a bright side to everything. Right, how's everybody doing this morning?

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: I was wondering what that butt was for. I was like, please,

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: don't try to throw something positive at me right now. No,

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: no, no no, that's You're right. We're all healthy at this

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: healthy and fine, So that's nice. At this point. The

21
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: positives are not about the Cowboys. For me, the positives

22
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: are not about football. My Texas long one to just

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: as bad. So right now, like that's not the positive.

24
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: Positive in life is that we're all here, We're all alive.

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: None of us have COVID. That's a great thing, right,

26
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: so we should be happy about that. And let's talk

27
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: some football, right right, let's go, Nick, you just got

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: off a right, Nick, you just got off a plane.

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: I guess not just but you you were on a

30
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: plane yesterday coming back from Washington. We're gonna start with

31
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: some big picture storylines, but like you just to talk

32
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: a little bit about what you saw from this team

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: postgame plane? Yeah, Like, because I think they're a lot

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: of people that are looking at this team like, man,

35
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: what was that and what is this team at this point? Well,

36
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: the one thing I was happy to see was Andy

37
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: Dalton able to just go go where's the bus? This way?

38
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: Where we having to eat? And that's a good thing.

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: I mean, so that that was good because he obviously

40
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: left the field and he needed help doing that, so

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: that it was a good sign. Don't know what that

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: means as far as this week, but I know that

43
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't as bad as it is. It you know,

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: obviously could have been. I was quiet flight back, you

45
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: know you I wasn't expecting, you know, a lot of

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: music or dancing or any of that stuff. I haven't

47
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: really heard that at all. Of course they have. They've

48
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: lost every road game this year, so maybe that Dave's

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: not on the plane anymore. So that helps. Why just

50
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: you don't have all the gambling and drinking and frivolous

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: stuff that happened. Always call him back there. Um. Anyways,

52
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: it just it was a bad I mean, it was

53
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: just a bad vibe because it was a bad game,

54
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: and it was it was, you know, the worst game

55
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: that I can ever I do sometime I don't remember

56
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: remember one like this where it was just so bad

57
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: green Bay. I don't know, No, that wasn't baby. It

58
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: felt like it to me a little bit, like I

59
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: don't know, yeah that was that was kind of that way.

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: But green Bay was good. That's the thing. Green Bay

61
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: went super Bowl that you're yeah, yeah that so that

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: was a good team. That was a good quarterback who

63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: deserves to be a starting quarterback. Point So no, this

64
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: was this was a really really really really bad game

65
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: all right, Let's get some big picture storyline takes from

66
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: Amber and Dave. Amber, I want to start with you.

67
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: I watched the game with you yesterday and with Dave,

68
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: and I could just see it the wheels turn into

69
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: your mind. I knew you had something for me, So

70
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: bring it. Let's go what you got Amber? Bring it well?

71
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm wearing black because I'm warning today

72
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: and the season like, I am so over it, but

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: we gotta keep going. Um No, the big picture is

74
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: at this point, I look at it. Who do we

75
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: need to say bye too? Who are we saying bye

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: to this week? Is it a player? Is it a coach?

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: And there needs to be a major change or it's

78
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: kind of hard to make major changes right now, but

79
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: there needs to be some type of change, some type

80
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: of repercussion. If you could, like lower someone's salary based

81
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: on their game performance, I wish you could do that,

82
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: but you can't. This is just terrible. It is absolutely terrible.

83
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: And the worst part of it is that after that game,

84
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: there's absolutely nothing that makes me feel a little sign

85
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 1: of hope, you know, like there's nothing whatsoever. The only

86
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: thing is maybe the kicker we haven't talked about Greg

87
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: Sterling really missing a field goal or an extra point

88
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: except for that one long one a few weeks ago,

89
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: but other than that, there's nothing that seems very positive

90
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: at this point. Dave big picture. The big picture for

91
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: this team is that they are fundamentally broken. There is

92
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: something wrong in that building right now. I don't know

93
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: what it is. I wish we had better access. I

94
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: wish there wasn't a pandemic, so maybe we could get

95
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: a better grasp. But you cannot look at that result

96
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: yesterday and tell me that this is a cohesive team,

97
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: that this is a bought in team, that this is

98
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: a team that cares about each other. Drastically, for lack

99
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: of a better way to put it, they got run

100
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: out of the building by arguably the worst team in

101
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: the league. Like they didn't lose. This wasn't like a scrappy,

102
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: ugly game like I thought it was gonna be. You know,

103
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be this terrible, scrappy, you know,

104
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: seventeen sixteen game. It wasn't that at all. They got

105
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: run out of the building by arguably the worst team

106
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: in the league. They do not look like they care,

107
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: and like I said, like I don't know if the

108
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: players hate the coaches. I don't know if the players

109
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: hate each other. But there's something there's something wrong. You

110
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: cannot convince me otherwise. I pulled up the quote from

111
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence yesterday. He said we need more belief, which

112
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: shouts out to Nick for getting it. I really appreciate you, man,

113
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: because that can't be fun. No, that cannot be fun

114
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: being down there with those guys. Um. He says, we

115
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: need more belief, more high spirits around this team, and

116
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: really more fight. That's one of our weaknesses. We need

117
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: to build a stronger backbone. I mean, is that not

118
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: just the most damning quote you've heard in a long

119
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: freaking time. Yeah, it's kind of interesting because we I'll

120
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: speak for myself. I made fun of happening to I

121
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: made fun of all of the you know, the fight

122
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: shirts and all that kind of stuff that we're a

123
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: part of the Garrett era. But the one thing, and

124
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: it was up until last year. Last year was the

125
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: first time I ever saw at a Garrett led team

126
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys that didn't have that level of fighting him.

127
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: You remember back to the season when he took off

128
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: halfway through the season, they were all but did. But

129
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: they played didn't play like it like they played down

130
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: the stretch as as good a football as you could

131
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: expect from a bad team, right and throughout throughout his

132
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: time here with the Cowboys, that's what we got accustomed

133
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: to seeing with the Cowboys, even when they were bad,

134
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: you rarely left games saying, man, they just didn't feel it.

135
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: They didn't feel like that team was was really in

136
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: the game. It felt like yesterday and it felt like

137
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: for a while now this team is just not in it.

138
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: Do you guys think that maybe what's happening here is

139
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: you lose so many players that you just don't have

140
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: that cohesion, You don't have that that real brotherhood for

141
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: lack of a better word, that sometimes you need in

142
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: order to kind of go through what you have to

143
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: go through as a football team to be successful. Nick,

144
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah, I mean that that's not

145
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: their guy dying down there, you know. And that's that's

146
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: the sad part. Is it used to be I thought,

147
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, put it on the uniform, in the star

148
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: and the helmet and all that stuff, that was that

149
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: was the team. But I mean, if DA got hit

150
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: like that, do you think everybody do you think anybody

151
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: does anything. I don't know what we talked about just

152
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago how this team acted. Yea, when

153
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: Dak was laying on the field, it was very different. Right.

154
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: Let me also say this though, and I wrote this

155
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: in the column kind of down at the bottom. Maybe

156
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: should have led with it. They they did a video

157
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: that said, let's win, let's win for Dak. Let's do

158
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: it for Dak, d for Dak. God. I hope not.

159
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: I hope this isn't doing it for Dak. This this really,

160
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: this is it, Like, this is what you like, We're

161
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna do it for him. He deserves more than that.

162
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: The fans deserved more than that. All right, So let's

163
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: move on. Let's talk a little bit about some of

164
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: the moments that mattered. And quite frankly, I think all

165
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: those moments happened in the first half. I think this

166
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: game was a game in the first half, and I

167
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: think by halftime it was over. Yeah, can you just

168
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: start with me, because no one's play, nobody's play is

169
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: going to be before mine. First play the game, first

170
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: play the game, handoff to Peyton Barber. I mean, who's

171
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: that Peyton Barber against the ball, gets a one yard,

172
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: gets hit for one yard, kept going, kept fighting, he's spuned.

173
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: He got five yards on that play should have been

174
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: stopped for one. That was the tone of the entire game.

175
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: It was that. It was this, they're there, they're in

176
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: the position, but they just can't make the play. And

177
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: you can't give Washington better field position, I mean better situations.

178
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: You need to keep them in third and nine, third

179
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: and eight. And it was just plays like that, that's

180
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: just lack of effort, tackling, what technique whatever. It was

181
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: first play of the game that set the tone right there,

182
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: and then they were able to do whatever they wanted

183
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: to run in the ball. And but what was your

184
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: moment that mattered well? To me, it was okay, you

185
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: see the Washington offense moving along, then the defense he's

186
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: able to stop them from getting a touchdown right there,

187
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, all right. Then the next way,

188
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: Colways got the ball. First play, okay, a little rush

189
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: by um um, oh my god, Andy Dalton. I forgot

190
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: his name for a second, for Dalton. Then the next

191
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: one the Colways getting huh, I said, so did he

192
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: but sorry, we're good. So he's good. Anyways, they get

193
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: pushed back and then they end up Washington gets up,

194
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: ends up getting the safety, and right there, it's like,

195
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: right at the beginning of the game, basically you realize, man,

196
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna be one of those games just by

197
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: that play. I mean, nothing else after that looked good whatsoever.

198
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: They just couldn't get anything moving. The defense could not

199
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: stop them at all. But it was that specific play

200
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: that's safety, that just told you what kind of game

201
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: that was gonna be. Dave, what was the moment that

202
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: matter for you? I don't know what's more embarrassing. The

203
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys are my internet connection, but I all one in

204
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: the same, Dave, all one in the same. It's just

205
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: it's just it's just that kind of year, man. Um.

206
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: The moment, the moment, honest, this is gonna sound this

207
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: is gonna sound revisionist. Um. But when they when when

208
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: Pollard had that kick return, it ran three plays and

209
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: kicked the field goal and just looked completely flaccid doing so,

210
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: I was like, this is gonna be bad. Like, yeah,

211
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: I know, I'm sorry, poor choice of words, but like

212
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: that that it was so so unimpressive, so uninspiring. They finally,

213
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: you know, an element of their team other than the

214
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: offense finally moved the ball and that was what they

215
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: came up with. Uh, and you just kind of made

216
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: you think today's gonna be rough, and it was, Yeah,

217
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of how the rest of this thing's

218
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna roll. I think is there's gonna be moments like

219
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: that when where choice will probably be a little bit questionable. Um,

220
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: go ahead, day. What were you saying? I just I

221
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: feel like y'all problem covered it while I was dealing

222
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: with my WiFi. What I'm gonna say is all these

223
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: same problems year when they were slugging away to eight

224
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: and eight, but you had your Dak Prescott's and your

225
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith's drownedgging you along the way, and those guys

226
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: aren't there now, and what's left is really uninspiring. And

227
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: I just I don't think they have it from a

228
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: mental standpoint, and that what concerns me is again, like

229
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: I keep using twenty fifteen as an analogy, that was

230
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: just that was a team that cared but didn't have

231
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: the talent. You know, they lost a lot of games

232
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter because they didn't have a good quarterback.

233
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: But you know they really they never truly just got

234
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: their doors blown off. I think this is gonna get

235
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: a whole lot worse somebody fixes whatever's going wrong. From

236
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: an intangible standpoint, like this team is not together, and

237
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: until that changes, I would imagine they're gonna get their

238
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: ass kicked like this a lot. Yep. And I don't

239
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that they can solve the problems that

240
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: they have right now. I don't know that they can

241
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: solve those problems this year. The way I look at

242
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: it is, at this point, this coaching staff, this front office,

243
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to figure out what players they want

244
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: to keep and what players they want to discard, and

245
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: they need to start thinking about next year, because you're

246
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: not gonna get better like right now. Big part of

247
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: the problems is just not good. Like the players that

248
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: are out there are just not good. You can look

249
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: at other years where you're like, Okay, well you miss

250
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: your quarterback, but you still got your offensive line, you

251
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: still got your running game, you still got an average defense.

252
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: If you play really hard, you might be able to

253
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: make yourself look average. Right right now, their players are bad,

254
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: and that's why it's looking so poorly. I think right now,

255
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: and you know, I think it's it's even worse when

256
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: you put on top of that the fact that I

257
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: don't think the coaches are really doing them any favor.

258
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: We'll go to the poem at the moment that mattered

259
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: for me, and it was Washington's up nine to three.

260
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: It's ten forty eight left in the second quarter. Dallas

261
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: as the ball fourth and one at the Washington forty

262
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: five fourth and one, and they decide they're gonna throw

263
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: the ball down field. In completion, they give the ball

264
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: back to Washington with great field position, mind you, for

265
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: a defense that hasn't been able to stop anyone. Two

266
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: plays later, fifty two yard touchdown to McLaren, and that

267
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: to me was into the ballgame. Like when they when

268
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: they jumped up there at that point it was at

269
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: fifteen to three. My thought was, there's no because they

270
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: don't have the power offensively to be able to come

271
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: back in those kinds of games, and and they're in

272
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: that particular instance, that to me was about coaching. That

273
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: is a bad decision. Knowing you have fourth and one,

274
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: you have a defense that can't stop anyone. If you

275
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: don't convert this, you got one or two options. You

276
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: can use a punt it, or you do something that's

277
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: a much higher percentage play than what you decided on.

278
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: But they opted to go for a lower percentage play

279
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: and put their defense in a horrible situation. To me,

280
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: that's bad coaching. Yep, And I'd like to see that play.

281
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't really want to watch the game at all,

282
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: but that's the one player I would have liked to

283
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: see him again. In the third down, I thought he

284
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: got that first down. I did too. I thought it

285
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: kind of thought he got over thinking maybe they should

286
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: have challenged that. Yeah, but that just kind of shows

287
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: this is why, like in high school football, the one

288
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: A two A teams don't play the six A teams

289
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: because as the offensive line, they don't have the big

290
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: guys to do it. This is what it felt like

291
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: to me. That was the JV against the varsity. They

292
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: can't move the ball. They showed that because they were like, well, okay,

293
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: we can't run the ball if the middle was zeke.

294
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: So we've already drawn them off sides once. That won't

295
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: work again, let's just try it. I mean, like running

296
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: that I would have punted. Now, who knows where that

297
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: ball would have gone, but I would have would have

298
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, I would have tried to punt. I guess

299
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: at that point, if you don't think you can get

300
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: a yard, then I would take forty. Yeah, I would

301
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: with the punt. But but the one thing you could

302
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: say in the scattering report, at least of this Washington

303
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: team is the one area up front where they tend

304
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: to be a little more vulnerable was in stopping the

305
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: run and typically running right at them. So to me,

306
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: you at least have to test it out and try

307
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: it right. You have to at least test them if

308
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: you're going to go for it on fourth and one,

309
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: I think that's a higher percentage play. Then deciding that

310
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: you're just gonna throw a ball down field trying to

311
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: get a screen. I'm not saying yeah, and it didn't work,

312
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: and it didn't work, Go ahead, Dave. I'm not saying

313
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: you're wrong, But those guys were getting ragged alled all day. Absolutely.

314
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: I just don't know. I don't know if charging up

315
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: the gun on Jonathan Allen and Deron Payne's gonna work.

316
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: Maybe not. I'm saying it is a higher percentage play.

317
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: You could do the exact same thing as what you

318
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: did the play before, and as Nick said, I thought

319
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: they got the first down on the play before try

320
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: it again. I think that is a higher percentage play

321
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: than anything else you could call in your playbook against

322
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: that front on a fourth and one. Maybe I'm wrong.

323
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take our first break. When we

324
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna dive a little deeper into the offense,

325
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: the pass offense, the rush offense, and we also have

326
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,080

Speaker 1: Life from the s WBC Mortgage studios at the Star

365
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: and let's jump into this Cowboys pass offense. Yesterday, Andy

366
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: Dalton was nine of nineteen. That's a forty seven percent

367
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: completion rate. He had seventy five passing yards, He had

368
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: zero touchdowns, he had one interception, a thirty six point

369
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: one quarterback rating, and was sacked three times. Dad to that,

370
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 1: Ben Denucci came in and he went two of three

371
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: and at thirty nine yards, zero touchdown, zero interceptions, and

372
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: he two was sacked three times. We talked all last

373
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: week about how good this Rossington front was, but did

374
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: you expect the Cowboys to get dominated as much as

375
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: they were dominated yesterday? Nick? No, I mean, and there's

376
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: no excuses to anything, but the rain absolutely messed up

377
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: any chance that they had to do anything because of where,

378
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: of how they are built. I mean, it just they

379
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: couldn't run the ball. They're not physical enough affront to run.

380
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: The only way you're gonna be able to do that

381
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: is the quick passes get the ball out. Gallup didn't

382
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: have a catch, CD didn't have a catch even though

383
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: he had plenty of chances. I mean, he had his

384
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: worst game of his career, and it just the passing

385
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: game needed to be there to offset that. So you

386
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: can't do that, and now you have to run and

387
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: you're not strong enough to run the middle. You know

388
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: it's bad when you can't. You're not strong enough to

389
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: run up the middle, you're not fast enough to run

390
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: to the outside, and the ball's not going to be caught.

391
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: In the passing game, Well, you're gonna get three points

392
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: based off your long kickoff return and that's it. Amber.

393
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I honestly didn't expect it to be this

394
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: bad the way that he ended up happening. But there's

395
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: such a lack of chemistry. I mean, we keep talking

396
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: about Andy Dalton trying to get rid of the ball

397
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: quicker and that's gonna help them offensively, but at the

398
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: same time, the lack of chemistry I mean, you can't

399
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: really do that when you don't have that connection with

400
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: your wide receivers as opposed to what we're used to

401
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: seeing with Dad and the receivers that sometimes, I mean,

402
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: the guy just needs to turn around and then Dad

403
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: knows exactly where he's gonna be, where he's gonna get

404
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: to throw the ball, and then the guy's gonna catch it,

405
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: as opposed to Andy Dalton. I mean, they're really lacking that.

406
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: There's no flow or just connection there. There's no like, Okay,

407
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: I know exactly where you're gonna run and where you're

408
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna be, and I'm going to you like in this place.

409
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: You know I'm gonna throw it to you. So it's

410
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: it's it's bad because when there's not when you don't

411
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: have that, there's no way that you can keep asking

412
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton to get rid of the ball faster so

413
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: that the defensive players are just not like completely attacking

414
00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: him and throwing him on the ground. Dave, I mean,

415
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: I picked Dallas to win this game, so I can't.

416
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: I can't sit here and say I told you so

417
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: too much. But yeah, I mean I did think that

418
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: the Washington Front was gonna really be tough for them,

419
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: that it's the most important thing and it's their biggest

420
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: strength against the cowboy's biggest weakness. I had a feeling

421
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: it might look kind of ugly, but the thing for

422
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: me is, and you know, I need to go back

423
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: and watch it again. But I didn't get the sense

424
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: that it looked the offense looked different, Like it didn't

425
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: really look like they tried to change what they would

426
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: normally do, which is a mistake. Like you should be

427
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: going into that game thinking we're gonna really have to

428
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: pull some tricks out of the box and play a

429
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,239
Speaker 1: different style of offense than what we've been doing. Like

430
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: you can't roll out there with the same core plays

431
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: from when you thought you had all your guys and

432
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: expected to work. You know, CD Dalton Dalton probably has

433
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: another fifty sixty passing yards if CD Lamb plays another

434
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: better game. I mean, that's neither here nor there. I

435
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: don't know if that means they win, but certainly didn't

436
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: get any help from him. And then was Gallop even

437
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: targeted once? If he was targeted, it was like it

438
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 1: was one time, one time. Actually it says on the

439
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: thing it says twice, but I remember once because I

440
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: ask you when he when the one time when I

441
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: remember I asked you, Dave, I was like, as he

442
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: is that the first time he's been targeted. I don't

443
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: remember him being targeted a second time, but yeah, it

444
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: says two. It just didn't feel like they were all

445
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: in plays to offset the fact that they didn't have

446
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: an offensive line. In my opinion, like a lot of

447
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: slow developing stuff, a lot of the you know, a

448
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: lot of the same stuff we've seen in the first

449
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: six weeks, which is fine when everybody's healthy, but they're not.

450
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: Didn't feel like they adapted very well and they paid

451
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: for it. Yeah, you know. One of the challenges was,

452
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: I don't know even if it was slow developing stuff

453
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: as much as like over there on the right side,

454
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: dared still. So many times I saw saw guys just

455
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: run right around him and literally it was almost as though,

456
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, in practice they have those those big dummies.

457
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: It looked like the weebele wobble you have when you

458
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: were a kid. You punch it and it kind of

459
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: pops back up. Like it looked like he was just

460
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: that He's just like a stanchion that they just kind

461
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 1: of put in a certain spot and the guy just

462
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: needs to run around it to get to the quarterback

463
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: and kind of hit the arm of the thing and

464
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: then he's at the quarterback. That's what it looked like.

465
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: And so I don't even know if if the play

466
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: calling was necessarily the problem. And by the way, they

467
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: also had some plays yesterday where they had to tight

468
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: end stay into block and they got run around too.

469
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: So I don't even know. And that's a question I

470
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: have for you. And he got completely run over. Yeah, yeah,

471
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: I mean it's I don't even know at this point,

472
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: but I have the question for you, guys, So figure

473
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: it out. Um, what could Dallas do differently? Where could

474
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: they maybe help themselves a little bit? Knowing that you're

475
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: so completely overmatched between your offensive line and their defensive line,

476
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: what else could they do at this point? Dave, I mean,

477
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: it's a great question. I'm not sure. I'm not sure

478
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: there's a great answer, And and you know it's I

479
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: look back on a day like today and I'm I'm

480
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: mad at myself because I'm like, you saw the indicators

481
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: that this was a bad matchup, and you went with

482
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys anyway, Maybe it was almost like blind hope

483
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that, I mean, that's tough, Nick,

484
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: Nick said it, and I agree, Like you know, I've

485
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: covered a lot of bad high school football in my life,

486
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: and that's what that looked like. Like when you're when

487
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: you're overmatched like that, it's hard to even play what

488
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: resembles actual football, you know, And it's I mean, I'm

489
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: not convinced there was a lot more they could have done,

490
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: Like like I said, you know, maybe maybe if CD

491
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: plays a better game, they move the ball a little

492
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: bit better and they kick another field goal. But I

493
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: don't know that there's a lot they could have done

494
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: to drastically improve what we saw. Nick, you know, I mean,

495
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: you know I said, I said the stat in the pregame.

496
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: You know, they Jordan Mills was on the practice squad.

497
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: They brought him up. I mean, he's got eighty four starts.

498
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: The reason why I brought that up is because the

499
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: combined starts for the five guys was seventy seven. So

500
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: all I'm saying is is that combined for the five

501
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 1: five five forty two from camp, twenty seven for for

502
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: the Connor too, for be honest, zero for McGovern and

503
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: Steele has six and I just feel like they. I mean,

504
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: why bring Jordan Mills here if he's not I mean

505
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: he's He's faced some really good players in his career. Now,

506
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: I know it's not been pretty. People that have said

507
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: Bears fans will tell you, man, he was not good.

508
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: But he's been in the league eight years. They said

509
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: the same thing about Colombo willing to give it a shot.

510
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: Let's just see what happens, right, I mean, Kenny get

511
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: me worse, it will be my question. I mean, no

512
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: other than me and other than the four of us

513
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: to play on the line. No, yeah, right, that could

514
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: get worse. It's bad. It was just it was bad.

515
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, I wouldn't have put Andy Dalton

516
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 1: in the in the under center so much. You know.

517
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: I tried to mention it in a meeting today. I

518
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: asked the question about Looney and like, oh we are

519
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: now we're waiting on Joe Looney come back. Well, yeah, yeah,

520
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: I'd rather Joe Looney than be Oddish. And I don't

521
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: think I don't think they'll do that because they, you know,

522
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: looking for the future. But I'm be honest, doesn't have

523
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: it right now. He's not he's not ready. I mean,

524
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: get Zach Martin back, you get Looney back, you got

525
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: Connor cam Irving, maybe you have a better right tackle.

526
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: Maybe Brandon I can come back at some point. I

527
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: know he's on ir I mean, they're gonna have to

528
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: pieces together. You can't just look at next year. You

529
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: can't do that. You can't Zack Martin. You have to

530
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: come back. He comes back, and then you know what

531
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: I think I would do, And I'm the guy that

532
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm the guy that didn't want to do this when

533
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: things were a little more normal. But when Zach and

534
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: when Zach and Joe are healthy, I'm putting Joe at

535
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: right guard and Zach at right tackle because that gives

536
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: me a chance to function at least, which is more

537
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: than we've been able to say for the last couple

538
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: of games. You know, if you have a side, you

539
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: can at least get some level of reliability with right

540
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,239
Speaker 1: You know what I thought you were gonna say is

541
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: move Connor to write tackle. Would I would look at that.

542
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: If they don't want to do that, that's fine, Yeah,

543
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: I would look at that too, That's but they gotta

544
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: do something. I leaned towards Zach because I've seen him

545
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, man. That doesn't mean Connor can't do

546
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: it though, but I would be happy if they take

547
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: Connor and put him at one tackle and they take

548
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: Zach and put him at the other tackle. You can

549
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: figure out what you're gonna do. Maybe Looni's at guard,

550
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: and maybe you stick with McGovern at the other guard,

551
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: and you got be honest in the middle. I just

552
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: feel like right now, right now, yesterday you saw a

553
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: turnstyle at both tackle spot, like there was there were

554
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: there were times when it was like the two defensive

555
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: ends were like, okay, I get to the quarterback before

556
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: you can, and then they get there and like give

557
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: each other a high five at the quarterback. Like It's

558
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: just you need to at least shore up that part

559
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: of it. And if you can show up that part

560
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: of it, then I think in the middle at least

561
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: there's some help because a lot of times that center

562
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: can kind of go one way or the other and

563
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: kind of help out with a guy. You got a

564
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: little bit more flexibility of how you can help in

565
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: the middle than you can on the outside. Most of

566
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: the times those guys are isolated. I take what at

567
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,239
Speaker 1: this point I guess we all would probably agree are

568
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: your two best offensive linemen lineman they have both played

569
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: tackle in college. Put about there and let's see what happens.

570
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: What do you guys think? I don't know. You look

571
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: at I don't disagree. Well, who's the quarterback? Well, it's

572
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: gonna have to be Andy, Okay. How tall is he?

573
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: Six one? Tall enough? Foot? Now? I know, I know,

574
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: But what I'm asking is is that do you take

575
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: the only six foot I don't know, six two sixty three. Really, yeah,

576
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't know he's tall enough. You're right. The reason

577
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: why I'm asking is that do you take the Saints approach?

578
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: You know, because Drew Brees has played there forever, he's

579
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: not the tall quarterback ever. They look at it like

580
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: they protect the end side, you know, center a guard

581
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: the outside of the tackles that they kind of rotated

582
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: them basically to give him a lane to throw the

583
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: ball and to look over. And I just kind of

584
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: wonder maybe maybe they need to work on the middle,

585
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, and keep the outside because you can kind

586
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: of help chip them in a little bit. I know.

587
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: But if you've been thinking about it, if you have

588
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: three guys on the interior that can't do anything, then

589
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: you can't run you can't. I mean, I don't know.

590
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good approach. I guess

591
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: I just look at it like this. I think right now,

592
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: to me, as far as performance is concerned, the guy

593
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: that and this is saying a lot, the guy that

594
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: is the worst of the bunch is Terrence Steel. I

595
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: think you gotta get somebody different at right tackle. He's

596
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: a problem for you right now. And and so I

597
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: think you need to take either Connor or Zach and

598
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: put them over there. And then I look at the

599
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: other side, and I'm like, Okay, you could probably make

600
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: that one a little bit better too. Maybe you're right.

601
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: Maybe you go ahead and stick with cam Irving just

602
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: because he has experience and you and you keep him

603
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: in that spot and hope that you know, with back

604
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: at guard, maybe you get a little bit better. Who knows,

605
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: I don't get I don't know, but I just look

606
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm like, yesterday the tackles were a real,

607
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: real problem. Most of the past rush, in my opinion,

608
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: was coming from the outside yesterday. And and so that's

609
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: where I feel like you kind of have to clean

610
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: this up a little bit. For no. I good, We'll

611
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: pick one. Sorry, I agree with what you said I

612
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: and I get Nick's point. I do like protecting the

613
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: front of the pocket is important. The Saints have a

614
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: couple of really badass tackles though, so like they that

615
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: might not look as good if you didn't have Ron

616
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: Armstead and Ryan Ramschick so I and oh it was

617
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: they were just it was so bad. Yeah, like the

618
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: pressure was on top of Dalton before he could do anything,

619
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: and not from the interior. I mean it was the

620
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: game was long over, but like one of the last

621
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: snaps of the game, Ryan Kerrigan basically picked Terrence Steele

622
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: up and carried he carried him to the quarterback. It's

623
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: just it's it's rough, and that's why I think I trust.

624
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: I think I trust the backups on the interior to

625
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: hold their own more than what we're looking at at tackle.

626
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: And maybe maybe it's not a season long thing, like

627
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: maybe when Brandon Knight comes back, you can do that,

628
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: but at least until some more guys are available, Like

629
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: if Zach Martin can play at this point, I would

630
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: try to play him at tackle. That's I just I

631
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: just maybe it's desperation, but it seems like it would

632
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: give you a better chance than what you're seeing right now.

633
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: Desperate times call for desperate measures. Amber, what do you think.

634
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: I think if it was up to me, I would

635
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: definitely want to move Connor Williams to tackle. I mean,

636
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: this is something we've been talking about for a couple

637
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: of years now. He's not necessarily the best guard, and

638
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: we've talked about the possibility of having him at tackle,

639
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: which is a position that not only is troublesome this year,

640
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: but it's going to be in the future as well.

641
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: Even if your starters come back, we know they have

642
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: been dealing with health issues and injury, so there's you

643
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: need to address the position regardless. So I would rather

644
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: use this year and right now, given the fact that

645
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: the old line is just a mess right now, so

646
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: you're not really gonna get a whole lot worse, So

647
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: just try it. Move Connor to tackle, give him some

648
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: in game experience. So let's trying him out, because it's

649
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: totally different giving him practice, like watching him at tackle

650
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: during practice, then giving him some actual in game experience.

651
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: I would rather go ahead and do that. Now. Let's

652
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: get that out of the way and try to get

653
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: a better feel of what that would look like or

654
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: could look like, and that will give you a better

655
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: idea of whether that's the route you would want to

656
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: take for the future. And I'm not saying, oh, let's

657
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: go ahead and start thinking about the future and tank

658
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: the season or any of that, but I do think

659
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: that this is a good chance for you to at

660
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: least try different things because it's not working out. Clearly

661
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: it's not working out, So you're not gonna lose much

662
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: by actually giving him a tackle. Yeah, that's actually that's

663
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: the point. Amber. I think you hit it on the

664
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: head that whatever they're doing right now isn't working, so

665
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: try some other things. If you keep doing the same thing,

666
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: expect different results. That's lunacy, right, So try something different.

667
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: I think maybe he becomes a guy. And Nick, I

668
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 1: think you mentioned this a couple weeks ago too, that

669
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna need a good swing tackle. You've

670
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: been needing a good swing tackle for a while. If

671
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: you find out this year that he can play well

672
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: in relief at tackle, then maybe going into next year,

673
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: you look at this and you say, that's our swing tackle.

674
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: And if one of those two guys that are the

675
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: starters are not ready to go for whatever reason or

676
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: get injured. We feel like we're in a really good

677
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: position with him as a guy that can that become

678
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: a swing tackle and maybe that's a better fit for

679
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: him than guard. All Right, we're gonna take our final break.

680
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: When we come back, we do have to talk about

681
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: the defense and what their day looked like. Yesterday. There

682
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: were some guys that played a little bit more and

683
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: I'm wondering did it make a difference. Maybe it did.

684
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it's hard to see through all the bad stuff

685
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday. We'll talk about that when we come

686
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,200

728
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: the s WBC Mortgage Studios. At the start, we're talking

729
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys loss yesterday twenty five three to the

730
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: Washington football team and what we're dreary conditions and a

731
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: drearier if that's a word outcome. Let's talk about the

732
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: defense yesterday. They give up only twenty three points if

733
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: you don't count the two points safety. Yeah, it's gave

734
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: up and only gave up three points. In the second half.

735
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: All right, that all being considered, can I'm gonna challenge

736
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: each of the three of you to Washington, to Washington,

737
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: make sure you point that out to Washington, right yeah, yeah, Okay,

738
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna challenge each of the three of you

739
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: come up with at least one thing that maybe you

740
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: could glean from that game that was a positive about

741
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:23,959
Speaker 1: this defense. Nick, go first, Um, they had a goal

742
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: line stand. Ah, that's a good one. That's a really

743
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: good one. Okay. And the guy that did that was

744
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: there right in the middle, Dontarry Poe, which, by the way, folks,

745
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: we have a really good video of Dontari Poe getting

746
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: the team together and really kind of getting in their face.

747
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: Really yeah, what do you say, I'm going to play better?

748
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: I don't know, but he he had that. And then

749
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: there was a fumble. I guess they called it a fumble.

750
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: Was it a fourth down stop or did they actually

751
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: get a fumble because Worley got the ball? Yeah, it

752
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: was Worley and Poe, those two right there. I'm not

753
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: sure if it was a turnover rundown or if it

754
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: was it was actually a stand. It turned out to

755
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: be a five point stand. Because they gave up here

756
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: of a safety. But yeah, let's go line stand that's positive? Okay,

757
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: uh Amber, give me something positive? Are you kidding me?

758
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: Just anything? Question? Is that? Why are you being asking

759
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: that work? Because because are you gonna get any posi?

760
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: Here's the point. Here's the point. If you look at

761
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: how this defense has played all season, and you look

762
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: at the fact that yesterday they were able to at

763
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: least only give up twenty three, and they only gave

764
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: up three after halftime, is there anything that's positive about that?

765
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: Is my question? Is there anything was better? No? No, no,

766
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: cero Sato, Sato, Sato positive Sato. Now that you keep

767
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: talking as if this was like the Steelers, the the

768
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: Seattle you're playing against Seattle Wall when they stopped them

769
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: twenty three to point. No, this was against Washington. There

770
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: was absolutely nothing positive. I thought the first player, like

771
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: in the first series, where they stopped that touch them,

772
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: I thought that was a positive if you want to

773
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: look at it positive. Okay, maybe they didn't give up

774
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown in the first few seconds of the game. Good, great,

775
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: great for him for them, But no, there's absolutely nothing positive.

776
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: The worst part to me is that I don't know

777
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: how you really try to change things around at this point.

778
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you actually do to make it better?

779
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: Do you? And I know people keep talking about, oh,

780
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: come back this week fire, Mic Nolan, Are you gonna

781
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: do that? I mean, there's some blame on the players. Again,

782
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: this is not just a coaching thing. It's also a

783
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: thing about the players and the way that they're performing.

784
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: They just don't seem to care enough. And there's just

785
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: a lack of chemistry, a lack of enthusiasm, a lack

786
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: of desire of actually wanting to win because there's I

787
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 1: don't see any energy. Little things that you keep talking about, Okay,

788
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: maybe like for example, Jayleen and Smith, how do you

789
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: slip a tackle like that? Those things should not be happening.

790
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: So no, there's absolutely no positive from the defense side

791
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: of the ball. So don't ask me again. I don't

792
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: want to hear any word positive along in the same

793
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: sentence as the defense. You did see it up nicely though.

794
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: For tomorrow tomorrow show, I'm going to ask to ask you,

795
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: to ask you the question of do you think that

796
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: if you look at the players at the Cowboys lost

797
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: this last year, do you think that those guys have

798
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: accounted for that much of a difference in the result

799
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: that we're seeing this year, or maybe, just maybe could

800
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: it be the loss of one man end at being

801
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli. We're gonna talk about that tomorrow because I

802
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: think that's a very interesting conversation. Dave. Was there anything

803
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: positive that you glean from this defense yesterday? I know,

804
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: like you're asking this with your tongue firmly planted in

805
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 1: your I'm still we do have shows we gotta get

806
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: through for the rest of this season. I'm just saying

807
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: I'm still. I'm still a fin especially like, okay, they

808
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: allowed three points after halftime that Like that reminds me

809
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: in high school. I used to go out and play

810
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: basketball with my dad in the driveway like every night

811
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: after dinner, and he would beat my ass until he

812
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: had a comfortable lead, and then he would just start

813
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: chunking shots at the backboard so that it would stay

814
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: close and I wouldn't get discouraged, you know, Like that's

815
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: that's what that looked like to me. Is Washington was like,

816
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: all right, you know, it's twenty five to three, Like

817
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: we've done what we need to do. Like I don't

818
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: I don't give them any credit for not allowing a

819
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: touchdown after halftime because the touchdowns they allowed before halftime

820
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: three of them, by the way, which is more than

821
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: Washington has scored all year, and one of them is

822
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,959
Speaker 1: a go ball where they just decided not to cover

823
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin for the fourth week in a row. And

824
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: then the other one is Logan Thomas scoring because Jalen

825
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: Smith didn't couldn't tackle him. Well, it was it was atrocious. Um,

826
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: if I'm looking for positives, I thought Donovan Wilson made

827
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: a really nice play to break up the two point conversion.

828
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: I believe it was in the back of the end zone. Um,

829
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: Layton Vanderesh played the whole game and he got hurt

830
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: for a second, but I guess it wasn't serious, so

831
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: you know that's nice, I guess. Um. I am befuddled

832
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: at how like why did why was Randy Gregory even

833
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: up if he only got six snaps? And why is

834
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: why is Bradley and I are going to be inactive

835
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: if this is what you're getting from the defensive line,

836
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying tank, but like, let's let's get

837
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: some of these young guys some looks like because what

838
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 1: what has what you've been doing hasn't been working anyway.

839
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: So yeah, though those are my positives, which is to say,

840
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: really not any Yeah, and you entered you mentioned, you know,

841
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: get some of these young guys opportunities. Yesterday, what we

842
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: did see was Gallimore and Hamilton played more defensive tackle

843
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: than Poe or Wood or Crawford. They both played over

844
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the defensive snap, both Hamilton and Gallimore.

845
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that we saw a different result overall,

846
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: because they gave up obviously two uttered eight rushing yards,

847
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 1: which is a huge amount to give up to a

848
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: team that hadn't rushed very well. Antonio Gibson had one

849
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight yards on twenty carries. His previous

850
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: high before that was thirteen carriages for fifty five yards

851
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: at Arizona. So I don't think the results necessarily showed

852
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: anything different. But did you as you watch those players play,

853
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: did you get a sense that maybe they were a

854
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: little better than the guys that they maybe were replacing Nick?

855
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: Not really, I'm sorry, and I know where you're going

856
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: with this, but I can't. I just can't. There's just

857
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: nothing really to get excited about it at all I mean,

858
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: I just said to Antonio Gibson's gonna rush for thirty

859
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: seven yards next week, and Carol Allen's gonna have a

860
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: rating of about sixty eight. I mean, like, I just

861
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: think that those guys were getting tired of getting beat

862
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: up on, and they got to beat up on the Cowboys.

863
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: And that's the real embarrassing part of this is that

864
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: there are a few nice plays here and there. No,

865
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: there were like two plays here and there. Yeah, you

866
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: know what, Layton and Jalen had twelve tackles each. Cool

867
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: should have been nineteen each. I mean, like, I don't

868
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: think Layton played that well. I mean he had a

869
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: really costly penalty too that led to seven points. So

870
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, somebody told me a long

871
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: time ago about a play. Yeah, yeah, he led the

872
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys and you know, tackling and they can't tackle, so

873
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: somebody has to do it, you know, and it's Jalen

874
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: Smith and Layton Well. I mean, I do think that

875
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: as you as we go through the rest of the season,

876
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: it really is and probably will be for the Cowboys

877
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: coaching staff front office as well. It's really gonna be

878
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: about player evaluations. The results won't matter because I think

879
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: the results are going to be similar to what you

880
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: saw yesterday. I think what they're looking at is is

881
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: an individual player playing well enough that we want to

882
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: keep him around for next year? You know, I think

883
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: you know that's where you start looking at it. And

884
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: that's that's why I asked the question about Gallimore and

885
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: Hamilton specifically, is because it really is going to be

886
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: about player evaluation for each of those individual guys. Were

887
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: there any individual performances? Now I'm not gonna say that

888
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: we're good, because in the twenty five to three loss,

889
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: nobody was good. But were there any moments that you

890
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: looked at and you said, Hey, I like what this

891
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: guy was doing here. This is the kind of thing

892
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: that they're gonna need a little bit more of Amber.

893
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I can't think of anyone. Honestly, I

894
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: there was so much bad that it completely blinded my

895
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 1: side for any slight of good that there could possibly

896
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: have been in that game. There was not a single

897
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: player that necessarily stood out to me for doing good.

898
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: So and I know that what we're looking at is

899
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: maybe just a little bit better, Like, Okay, did this

900
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: players do a little a little better where maybe we

901
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: a little something something, but that little something something just

902
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: got completely washed away from everything else. So I just

903
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I can't give you a better answer to that.

904
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: But on his there was nothing that I really saw, Dave,

905
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm with her even you know, I mentioned a couple,

906
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned a couple like positives, and I don't know.

907
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's Donovan Wilson's fault that there

908
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: was no safety help on the McLaurin play. I haven't

909
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: seen it back, so I don't want to blame him

910
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: for that. But my point is Donovan Wilson makes one

911
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: great play, but like you still see all of the

912
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: same systemic problems like that. That obviously what makes this

913
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: so frustrating and terrible is like there is no growth

914
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: from week to week. Ye, there is none. They do

915
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: the same awful stuff every time they go out, and

916
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: this time they did it against literally the worst offense

917
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So cool, Maybe a handful of guys

918
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: made some nice plays, but like who cares right now?

919
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: That's just it is what it is, all right, That's

Speaker 1: gonna be a rap Tomorrow. What we will do is

921
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 1: we will talk a little bit more about some of

922
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: those bigger picture areas where maybe the Cowboys can identify

923
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: some issues that maybe they can tackle this year. Some

924
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: of them are about tackling issues for next year. We're

925
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna talk specifically about coaching and what's happening right now

926
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: with this coaching staff, both at the head coach as

927
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: well as the coordinators, and how much blame do you

928
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: put on those guys from what we're seeing right now

929
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to this team each and every Sunday.

930
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,719
