Got you. I would just sleep like everybody here, 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.400 but gotta get up, educate myself and yeah, get ready 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:08.840 for the day. 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:10.640 So you saw some film and I say, we got 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.040 a lot we'll get into. There are so many things 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.560 about that game. I think that that are worth discussing 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.520 because it was really a tale of multiple quarters, like 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.440 there were just serious, serious, Yeah, you're talking about these 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:27.320 wild shifts from very very poor football play to very 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.720 very good football play that happened throughout that game. And 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.520 we'll get into all of it. I know what ambers 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.280 feelings are. I could tell by the way she was 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.280 on the plane last night. This ain't gonna be good. 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:43.240 But remember remember just pace yourself, all right. Take deep breaths, Yeah, 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.760 take deep breaths. Let's start first. Obviously, Cowboys get the 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.520 loss last night, they lose thirty to twenty four on 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.280 the road on Sunday Night football. Let's start with storylines 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.840 of the game. What was the biggest storyline. I'll start 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:57.440 off with you, Brian. 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.080 Yeah, there's a couple of things that I just the 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.720 really bad third quarter of offense I think set you back. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.800 The three and outs. Mike addressed it last night postgame, 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.480 talking about just didn't really give your defense any kind 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.520 of a chance. I think the defense is, you know, 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.480 as we all understand, is being held together with gorilla 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.880 tape and baling wire right now, you know, with the 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.520 way they're trying to play. The bad third quarter of offense, 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.320 I think really really affected you in that second half there. 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.960 They didn't have a really great plan for how to 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.720 deal with Kittle. And this is what bothers me the most. 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.120 And we talk about Amber always ask about practicing and 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.120 things like that. You know, you go into a game 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.160 kind of understanding that they're limited, maybe in some of 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.480 the receivers that they have, maybe some of their weapons. 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.280 No Brandon Nyuk, you know, Deebo Samuel has having to 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.799 go to the sidelines every other play basically to kind 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.120 of catch his breath. But it's George Kittle, you know, 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.359 it's Kittle. It's Mason. Mason gets hurt with a shoulder 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.160 Garrindo though, if you watch the Draft Show, and Derek, 0:02:58.200 --> 0:02:59.799 thank you for letting us have the Draft Show every 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.560 year because we talked about we talk about these types 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.640 of players, and so to me, he fit in very 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.680 very well to what they We were all worried about 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.720 their ability to run the football. That was not gonna 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.760 be a problem. But you didn't handle the Kittle situation 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.280 all that well. Donovan Wilson against Kittle is we all 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.839 saw as not a good, uh, not a very good 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.720 matchup at all, you know, especially if you allow Kittle 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.880 to play from where you have you give him space, 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.360 where you give him the ability to run, to operate, 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.760 to move in routes. It's going to be a difficult 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.120 cover for most all safeties in the league, but especially 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.560 Donovan Wilson. What was the adjustment late in the game 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.080 when they started getting some stops all of a sudden, 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.160 you saw Jordan Lewis play a rep over there. Yeah, 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.160 you saw mcwalman play. You needed to treat him like 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.520 a like a wide receiver. He was the one guy 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.280 in this game. If this, for example, was Bill Belichick 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.440 New England versus Dallas, I am not letting Jason Witten 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.200 beat me in this football game. Everybody else could beat 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.560 me in this football game. I'm not letting that guy 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.440 beat me. And you know that's the thing with you know, 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.840 I look at it going into it and you just say, well, 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:13.160 that's unfortunate. Could have done better. There, Rock Party running 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.320 the football his legs and Ambar has been asking about 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.600 this for your own quarterback. Where's the quarterback's legs? You 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.919 saw what example last night, and if you watched a 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:26.280 lot of NFL games yesterday, you saw quarterbacks taking advantage 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.440 of plays that break down in their ability to run 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.560 and rock Party hurt you last night with his ability 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.159 to run, to pull it down to make big plays. Heck, 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.479 one time they've got it screen defensed really well. He 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.440 kind of like I'm throwing that we're up the side up, 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.240 you know, right through the scene we go for about 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:47.320 you know, sixteen yards or so. So Yeah, defensively, there 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.159 were some things that you know, but like I say 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.479 that that group's getting held together. The offense is just 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:58.200 wildly inconsistent from from series to series. It's it's it's 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.880 difficult at times to watch and in other times you 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.560 study the tape and you're going, that's what you gotta 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.200 do it. But it's just that's that's kind of what 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:07.680 your football team is right now. 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.080 Just taking a deep breath, Like my heart starts beating 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.200 so fast every time we go back, if we get 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:20.000 back from games like these. And Brian is absolutely right 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:25.040 on everything he said for what no, but on the defense. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:33.080 But to Amber, yeah, right, no, you're right with everything 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.440 you said. But right now, my beef is not with 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.400 the defense. My beef here is with the offense. Because 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.599 you got to look at the list of items of 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.800 issues right and prioritize where are your biggest issues coming 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.200 from you should have won that game. You should have 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.599 won this game against the forty nine ers. You were 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.000 very close. The defense gave you what they could give you, 0:05:56.120 --> 0:06:00.000 given all the circumstances, given the things that they're struggle 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.719 with consistently. But they held it there and they gave 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.960 you a chance. But offensively, you screw it up again. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:11.240 And what is more, the reason why I get so 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:16.159 frustrated is because you see those instances that Brian pointed 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.599 out where you know they can do it. You know 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:24.720 the offense can't put plays together and work positively and 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.800 score and get to the end zone. But they just 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:32.200 they just screw it up every time. And at key moments, 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.960 like again when the forty nine ers score that field 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.520 goal and then they get the Cowboys get the ball 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.400 back with like three minutes left in the game, you 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.919 had all the chances and then all of a sudden 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.560 it took like I don't know how long it took, honestly, 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.040 but they were in and out, yeah, and they could 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.280 not do anything. And some of the decision making on 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.120 some of those plays I think, in my opinion, and 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.440 I'll say it again, I haven't been a fan of 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:06.320 McCarthy play calling. Some of the decisions that he made 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.040 in this game. It makes me wonder, I'm like, do 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:14.320 you and considering like they don't have Brandon Cooks in 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:18.640 the offense, considering the struggles that the O line is 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.400 having currently, But at the same time, some of those 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.920 plays to Covanta Terpin, it makes me wonder. I'm like, 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.760 do you know your players well enough to where you're 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:35.360 positioning them the best way? Like those long throws to 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.040 Kavanta Is It's just not a play that you would 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:42.680 think should be structure for Kvanta Terping like you would 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.480 imagine some other type of players. So it's just a 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:50.880 lot of question marks there that you're like, man, these 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.920 games keep slipping away from you. And you've had even 0:07:54.920 --> 0:08:00.080 in games like Detroit where they got completely dominated in 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.240 the first half of the game, the defense still kept 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.520 you in there where you had a chance, but again 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.280 the offense hasn't been able to step up. Dak is 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.520 just I've been defending him his whole career, but I'm 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:17.160 at a point where I don't know what else to say, Like, 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.680 I can't I can't find anything positive right now. And 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.360 we can argue about the offensive line struggles all day long, 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.240 but there are so many players where that's all on Dak, 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.640 that's all on him making the decisions that he's made. 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:34.120 And again you mentioned him using his feet. What the 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:38.280 heck is going on? Like what somebody needs somebody, somebody 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.000 needs to ask the question. I don't know if anybody 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.679 in the media has asked that question yet, but it's like, 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:47.760 why why There were several opportunities even last night where 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.920 he could have run and he doesn't and I don't 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:51.640 understand why. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.920 Yeah, it might be going back to when we were 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:55.680 in training camp and stuff, when he was in a 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.760 walking boot and stuff like that. He might be his 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.760 injury might have compromised the older that he's got. I 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.160 haven't asked about this, but I'm just kind of thinking 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:05.720 out loud. 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.760 Yeah, I would love to hear his thoughts on that, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.360 because that's the same thing that popped in my mind. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.679 And obviously I don't want to make that declaration because 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.960 you don't know, but I want someone to ask him 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.720 that question, like is the is this a situation where 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.560 you have chosen not to run? And if so, why 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.680 are you choosing not to run? Because there seems to 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.599 be as you mentioned Namber. I think it was the 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.080 last series that the Cowboys at. It was maybe second 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.520 or third down and there was an opportunity for a run. 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.439 He probably doesn't pick up the first down, but he 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.920 definitely changes how you play the class two downs, right, Yeah, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.280 And I think that's the part where I'm like, come on, 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.240 let's let's and think about think about it like this 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.319 with Dak. In my opinion, if you go all the 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.880 way back to college Dak and then to his early party, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.240 his game has always been predicated on Yeah, you can 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.240 take me for granted if you want to, but if 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.760 I take off running, good luck trying to get me down, 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.560 especially in the open field. And you got one guy 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.640 trying to get me down because I'm a big dude. Right, 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.680 That is now flipped and he's kind of taken away 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.400 or for whatever reason, not using his own superpower, because 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.800 that's the superpower, and that's what makes his game I 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.839 think so much better. If there's an element of the 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.920 possibility of him running. I think it changes everything with 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.400 how defenses have to defend him. That creates opportunities for 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.240 him to open up his passing game. It's sounds kind 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.120 of like when you talk about offense, you say the 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:25.760 running game will open up the past. I think it's 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.760 the same thing for Dak individually in his game. I 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.200 think his ability to run opens up the pass for him. 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.440 And I'm just interested to know why we aren't seeing 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.520 that anymore. It's like this year it's just nonexistent. 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.440 Yeah, I just maybe I could say when we started 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.760 to hear about things about walking boots and you know, 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.959 and having to take days, and maybe there's maybe the 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.679 older that he's got, the more difficult it is. Maybe 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.200 the area is not as flexible as it once was. 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.920 Maybe he doesn't have the confidence with the burst that 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.560 he feels like, you know, on the interception that he 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.400 had the first one, and you mentioned the ball that 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.000 went down the to Turpen. He always talks about his footwork. 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.719 Dak always says, my footwork, my footwork on that play. Now, 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.920 there's a couple of different things that you can you 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.880 can think about here. And maybe it's unfortunate for the 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.000 Cowboys in this way that they have. They have Dalvin 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.520 Cook in the game at the running back, and how 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.720 many times have we seen a running back make a 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.040 hero block so the ball gets out? Yeah, you know, 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:28.240 and maybe Dalvin because not much time on task. He's 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.439 sitting to the side where the pressure is coming from 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.440 where steel and you know, you're thinking like inside out 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:39.240 and we've seen we've seen even Deuce Vaughn like like 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.959 a pickup, like all of a sudden, there's some leakage 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.920 coming and now somebody steps up and or doubt all 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:49.240 one of those guys. And unfortunately you don't get that pickup, 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.760 you know, that hero pickup I would call. But Dak's 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.840 footwork drifts him. You know, it's like he goes back, 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:01.000 but he's like he's planted and now he's not square 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.680 in the middle of the pocket. He's drifted to the right, 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.880 which is taking him into bosa. He needs help, he 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.240 needs a block. He doesn't get it. But now it's 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.679 an all arm throw and you're thinking, well, damn, it's 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.200 pressure right there. Yeah, there's pressure. But the way that 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.480 his footwork took him, it drifted him, you know that 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.240 that direction. So it's something he always works on. But 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.880 you know, it's it's it's it's it's tough. That part 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:29.040 of it's tough because you know that to me, the 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.480 throw wasn't open to begin with. The route and here's 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.160 to Ambar's point about maybe some things with Mike and 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.760 some play calling and maybe some play design, maybe stuff 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.640 that the general manager was questioning last to last week 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.319 about some design stuff. You know, you see San Francisco 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.880 with a with a vertical and a drag behind it. 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:52.160 The Cowboys on that route, they have a smash route 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.920 or an in and out or pivot you know inside 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.440 with Tolbert, and then they go vertical. There's nothing carrying, 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.920 there's nothing holding the safety. I mean, I can't tell 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.680 any times yesterday there was Cowboys hooker and and those 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:09.000 guys getting held because of a vertical route and something 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:10.040 coming underneath it. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:10.920 They have to respect it. 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.439 They have to respect it. So you know, if Tolbert 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:17.080 runs vertically, maybe that keeps Brown in the middle of 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.440 the field because he has to carry that route or 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:24.040 worry about that that little smash route. He's like, they're 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.720 not whoa, where's this? Okay, here there's a vertical route, 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:27.280 so you. 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.600 Will pivot route, geek out somebody else that he count. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.880 You're thinking, like, okay, create, you're creating opportunities. And we do. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.560 We all watch enough NFL and watch enough college games 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:42.200 to see the combinations that like, ah, that route carried 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.680 like the CD when they got down in the red zone. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:49.360 The routes that that Tolbert and in Turpent ran drug 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.160 CD across and what happened They lost They lost track 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.000 on the other side. So you're like, oh, oh, here 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.440 we go. That's that's what you have to do to 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.559 get guys wide open and create separation. But then you're 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.080 gonna throw a vertical route to a five to nine 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.679 guy with safety help in the middle of the field. 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.400 With nothing help making that safety out, nothing, nothing else. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.360 So those are the things that kind of when you're 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:16.320 watching you go, man, they could do better. They I've 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.280 seen him do better. And then there's other times like 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.640 what the hell was that? Yeah, you know, and all 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.560 of a sudden the quarterback's having to make you know. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.920 And the second interception was that was on the quarterback too. 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.520 I mean, he you know, but I look at it too. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.880 As the play call, you're you're rolling, you're rolling the 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.440 quarterback to his left, which he's good at doing. Early 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.880 in the game, you kind of saw CD caught a 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.000 drag underneath with him rolling left. He kind of slung 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.760 its side arm in there. But that ball's got to be. 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.160 I mean, CD has separation. That ball has to because 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.760 he's moving. It's got to go. It's the quick and 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.120 the longer he holds that ball, the more that needs 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.880 to be in the bench. If that because that that 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.120 doesn't need to be I'm waiting. I'm waiting. I'm waiting. 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.360 That's not one of those plays. That's a get the 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.240 ball there. And you know, he the quarterback, admitted it. 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.880 He's got to throw that ball away. But you know, 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.200 but Mike's got to help him. We'll think with the 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.440 play call a little bit there. You know, rolling your 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.720 quarterback to where he has to get himself square to 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:15.600 throw will take time. 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:17.400 Yeah, all right, we're going to take our first break. 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.000 We're going to come back. We're going to dive into 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.240 this a little bit more and talk more about this offense, 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.320 particularly we'll talk some about Dak. We'll also get into 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.480 the running game. We saw a couple of things, a 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.960 couple of new personnel pieces. I don't know how much 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.120 it changed from the standpoint of the results, but we'll 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.960 talk about that when we come back this Dallas Cowboys 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:33.600 dot Com Radio. 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.120 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.080 Cheatah Savannah Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.040 online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.720 faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.080 But the good news is Todd has at and T 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.840 five G.

We welcome back into the 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:46.199 second segment, right live from the s w BC Mortgage 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.560 studios at the Star at the Star. This segment's brought 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.840 to you by block mock Chaine dot com. All right, 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.440 let's talk about the running game. We find out roughly 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.600 about I don't know an hour and a half to 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.840 two hours before the game that Rico Dawdle is sick, 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.800 and then find out he is inactive. And then we 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.240 also knew that Dalvin Cook was being elevated for this game. 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.400 He had been elevated on Saturday. You look at it, 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.199 and to be honest with you, I don't know that 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.040 I could perceive a real different Zeke runs ten times 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.000 for thirty four yards or three point four average and 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.680 a touchdown. Although I will say, for Zeke's credit, there 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:24.560 were some runs that I was like, that was a 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.920 really good run. He had like two or three runs 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:28.920 in that game. I was like, that was a really 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:29.400 good run. 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.880 Half of his runs were successful runs of four plus 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:32.960 yards a carry. Yeah, it was. 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.600 It was some good moments in there. Dalvin Cook had 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:40.320 six carries twelve yards a two point oh average. And 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.000 my question for you guys is did you was there 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:47.280 anything that you saw there that suggests to you Dalvin 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.840 Cook should have been in there sooner or that Dalvin 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:51.880 Cook needs to be more involved in this offense. From 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:52.480 the standpoint of the. 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.239 Running game, I wish we would have seen this like 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:00.520 week three instead of week what are we not nine? 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:01.000 K now? 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.359 Are we heading into this? Is sweet? Was week coming in? 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.520 Week nine, so halfway through the season. 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.239 So my point is, like heading into week nine, we 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:13.080 shouldn't have these questions around this guy that you picked 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.840 up earlier on in the season and now you're deciding 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:18.280
