Speaker 1: I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving. And gentleman, the

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: itis is sneaking in on me. I ate way too

14
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: much food this weekend and I am dragging this morning.

15
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: Tripp the fan, good, Yeah, it's too much turkey, too

16
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: much of that stuff and it was delicious. Where did

17
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: that come from? Ask me if I regret it? And

18
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't regret it, tripped a fan. Yeah, I can't

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: spell it, but that's the thing. And I hear that

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: turkey has a thing and some kind of chemical in

21
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: it that makes you automatically tired. I discovered that's the one.

22
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: That's the one. Yeah, that's it. Trip the fan. Yeah, wow,

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: everybody learned that. I was a lot. I thought it

24
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: was a lie. I said this, shut up. I telling

25
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: all of my in laws, like, dude, that kid out here,

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: stop it. It's a real thing. You come right in

27
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: here and I'm sorry, and I say it. I say,

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't eat me. I don't have any of that

29
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,639
Speaker 1: in my system. I say, it feels great today. I'm grand.

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: That mac and cheese looks fire though it was. It

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: was fire, It was fire. I have to say I

32
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: get better every year, you know, be great today. Yeah. Yeah,

33
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Well the Cowboys were not super great on Thursday thirty six,

34
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: thirty three in overtime a loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: As the Cowboys have now lost three of their last

36
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: four games and four of their last five on Thanksgiving,

37
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: so the Cowboys fall again on the holiday. It's holiday

38
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: that hasn't been kind to the Cowboys as of late. Rob,

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: you were at the game, what was that like? The

40
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: comeback and kind of the trailing that never really felt

41
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys got off the ground again in the defense,

42
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: giving up thirty six points for the first time in

43
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. It was tripped to finish. Actually, it

44
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: was a very tripp to finish. They just it was

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: very reminiscent of Kansas City where they just offensively can't

46
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: get anything established until late and I think, you know,

47
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: encouraging in the fourth quarter that hey, they finally try

48
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: to go deep, get Michael Gallup in single coverage, and

49
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: they took advantage of that and they hit several exposive plays.

50
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 1: So can they carry that into Thursday? I think that's

51
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: that's the thing they got to do. But not only

52
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: was it reminiscent of the Kansas City game four days ago,

53
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: it's reminding me of twenty nineteen when they had Amari

54
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: Cooper on that team. They went and lost three or

55
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: four games in December, and I looked it up. Three

56
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: of those losses. Want of them to Buffalo on Thanksgiving? No,

57
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm going back a couple of years. But they couldn't

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: score more than seven points and a half. And it

59
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: was the same We're talking about the same stuff. Slow starts,

60
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: how do you get it going that they got to

61
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: figure that out even against the Saints team that is

62
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: challenged offensively. Right now, that's really interesting to think about

63
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 1: because right there, you good, that was not sly at all.

64
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate the I appreciate the effort there. It didn't

65
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: work all right, well though, let's just blow right past that, Isaiah,

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: what did you see on the Thanksgiving matchup? I saw

67
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: a team that wasn't focused, man. I saw a team

68
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: that did not play discipline football. They did not execute,

69
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: and you know when you're playing those teams, and we

70
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: talked about it. We talked about how the Raiders were

71
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: a team that built off of confidence and runs and

72
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: if you allow them to stay close in the game,

73
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: they'll start remembering who they are because they do have

74
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: a roster full of very um you know, high high

75
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: high caliber. Yeah, high caliber, you know, and guys that

76
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: are established in this league. You know, these guys have

77
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: have attained a lot big contracts. You know, big contracts

78
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: come from you know, big plays, and they you know,

79
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: they allowed these guys to stay around in the game

80
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: and they just didn't do well. It's more of the same.

81
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: Like Rob said, you know, incompletions, bad techniques, freaking penalties galore.

82
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are complaining about the referees,

83
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: and I was really really disappointed in hearing coach McCarthy

84
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: bring that into the postgame conference in terms of using

85
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: that as an excuse. I did not like that at all.

86
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Regardless of how true or how how adamant you might

87
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: be about that, as a real feeling, you cannot communicate

88
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: that to your team because it allows them now to

89
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: utilize that as an excuse. It creeps in, right. It's

90
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: kind of like it's kind of like the uh, it's

91
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: kind why can't I think today? It's kind of it's

92
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, letting, like the complaining going

93
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: on in the locker room, right, It's spreads like wildfire.

94
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: And I feel like when you have a head coach

95
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: somebody in that position, that it comes in the press

96
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: conference and says, well, yeah, you know, there's something about

97
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: the referees, it's like, crap, and what do I say?

98
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: What I say? As soon as he said, I was like,

99
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: that's bad, Yeah, that's real quick. He kind of backtracked

100
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: the next day a little bit. He said, our our

101
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: energy on the sideline was not good enough. It was

102
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: too it was too negative, like we're just, oh, it's

103
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: all the refs fault kind of thing. Yeah, you can't

104
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: do that, especially when you're in that position, because every

105
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: person who came in and did an interview after that said,

106
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: what refs, refs, refs, refs. And at a certain point,

107
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: everybody's had those games where the things just don't go

108
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: your way in terms of referees. Right, you feel like

109
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: the referees are against you, you're playing against the six

110
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: man blah blah blah blah blas. You can't allow that

111
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: to be the reason. The reality is guys were creating penalties.

112
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: That's the reality. Technique was bad. That the reality. There

113
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: are a bunch of flags that should have been thrown

114
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: that weren't thrown. That's also the reality. So at the

115
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: end of the day, you just didn't play good ball.

116
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: Don't defer and try to blame that out somebody else.

117
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: Yes there's bad calls, Yes there's good calls. Happens every

118
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: single game. You didn't play good, own up to it

119
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: and figure out how to man allow this to happen again.

120
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: The AFC west owns you right now when you leave

121
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: the field, and you leave a situation where there was

122
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: some plays that you made that were called back because

123
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: of penalties. There were some miscalls, Like you said, the

124
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: fumble to me, really was the one thing that stuck

125
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: stuck out on the play. Ken O'Neill makes an amazing play.

126
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: That's a bumble that we should have had that the

127
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: referees did not go back and even look at. And

128
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the situation was, why that

129
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: was not challenged or what have you. But you know,

130
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: I don't fault Mike McCarthy for that because in the

131
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: heat of battle and you see coaches get fined for

132
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: that all the time, You're just getting off the field

133
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: and hell you you put it all out there and

134
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: you recognize that there were opportunities that you missed that

135
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: were due to obviously penalties that didn't go your wayt

136
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: so with human right and then obviously I don't know

137
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: if the players were listening to the conference at the

138
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: same time, but you know, going back to what you

139
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: were saying, Rob, I felt as though that carry over

140
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: from Kansas City, just from an execution standpoint, from the

141
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: second half. We've had six quarters now of that kind

142
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: of football in for me. It points to what you're saying,

143
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: poor execution, poor execution. We knew we're gonna be without CD,

144
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: we knew we're gonna be without Amari, and then at

145
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: some point you're looking at other guys to kind of

146
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: step up what centric Wilson did seven catches one hundred

147
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: and four yards, although very silently, seven catches one hundred

148
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: four yards, and we just didn't have that big playability.

149
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: And you're talking about the FC Weston owning us right now.

150
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: It looks as though they have the formula, the recipe

151
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: to stop the Cowboys by just crowding the line of

152
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: scrimmage and playing man to man on the outside, but

153
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: albeit without our weapons. So the reality of the situation is, look,

154
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: as much as we can be down on this team,

155
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: they're handicap. And if you look around the league and

156
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: you see teams that don't have their main doll, they're

157
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: head tocapped as well. And so look those all of

158
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: these things are excuses because it's still a loss for us.

159
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: But you know, we have to point to the fact

160
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: that Dak did all that he could. The running game

161
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: right now is where I'm I'm most concerned. You know,

162
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: I think looking bad and not have having poor execution,

163
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: but the inability to run the ball right now is

164
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: hurting this team more than anything. I think that's a

165
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: great point because with the weapons that you're missing, you're

166
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: going to miss your production. And sure, you ended up

167
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: having two one hundred yard receivers, but like you said

168
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: that with a lot of that was late in the

169
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: ball game when they finally found the rhythm on offense.

170
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: Without Amari Cooper, without Ceedee Lamb bar none, you are

171
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: not a good football team. Are not as good of

172
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: a football team. You're still a good football team, just

173
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: not as good without those two guys in there. And

174
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: that's for a big reason. However, you're not missing anything

175
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: in the run game right now. You got an offensive lineback,

176
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: you had Tyrn Smith back, you have Ezekiel Elliott. Yeah

177
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: he's a little banged up, but he's still out there playing.

178
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: He's not banged up enough to miss some time. And

179
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: then you've got Tony Pollard who played decently well but

180
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: still never really had the kind of game that you

181
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: would expect. So is that the biggest concern right now,

182
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: at least in terms of a longevity problem, A long

183
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: term problem for the Cowboys. Yeah, I think. I mean,

184
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: I kind of go back to what I said after

185
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City to me, and it ties into the run game.

186
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: The line is scrimmaged. They're not winning it. It's it's

187
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, the offensive line, and they've had some changes

188
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: up front, and but Tyrant's back, and that's why you

189
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: can't you know, I don't think you can go as

190
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: far to say, oh, it's because they're missing certain guys.

191
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: I think it compounds the problem. I'm with you. It's

192
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: not an excuse, it's a fact. But they're not also

193
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: doing simple things to give them chances to win. Like

194
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: we talked about drops and miss throws and miss blocks

195
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: in space and things like that that probably get magnified

196
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: more when you lose a game than when you win it.

197
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: And they almost won that game, and maybe we'd be

198
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: sweeping that under the rug if they pulled that out

199
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: against Vegas, almost said Oakland. But but yeah, I think

200
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: I think in Mike McCarthy spo to it a couple

201
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: of days ago, the win rate, I don't know what

202
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: metric he's using, but upfront, they're not they're not handling

203
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: that as well. And that's in the run game. That's

204
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: pass protection. Zach Martin spoke about and Mike talked about

205
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: movement upfront with the defensive front and not being able

206
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: to handle that as well. I think it starts up

207
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: front for this team, and when you are missing your

208
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: top two wide receivers, it's easier to key on the

209
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: run game and say, hey, beat us in the past game.

210
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: And so there's a lot of reasons why. But they

211
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: gotta get it fixed, and it is fixable, but it

212
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: goes beyond just hey, they're missing this guy and this

213
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: guy and this guy. Yeah, I'm more concerned about the

214
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: psychology of this team. The physical aspect. Those things are

215
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: easily correctable. That's watch film. Make the corrections. Don't allow

216
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: it to happen again. You see Terren still get blown

217
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: off the line of scrimmage by Max Crosby. Hey it happens, bro.

218
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: We talked about that. We knew that happen. We knew

219
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: that was going to happen. That wasn't even a question

220
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: mark should limiting it. But the reality is these guys,

221
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: the psychology of this team is really being challenge right now,

222
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: and I'm worried about their ability to to pull themselves

223
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: out of a hole. I'm really concerned about their ability

224
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: to pull themselves out of a hole. We talked about

225
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: I brought up emotional intelligence last week and about our

226
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, the two weeks but two weeks ago, about

227
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: our ability to be able to handle those forms of adversity,

228
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: and how do we step into these situations, these tight games,

229
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: these competitive games. Well, we see all the penalties. That's

230
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: emotional intelligence. That's being disciplined, that's not doing what you're

231
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: supposed to do. That's a lack of it. Well, now

232
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: we're sudden, we're fighting after the game. Well, there we go.

233
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: It shows up again. Right, there's two back to back

234
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: games that we just don't get out the hole. And yes,

235
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: you're missing your players, but guess what, we've been missing

236
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: players all year long. All year long. We've been missing

237
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: key guys on the offensive front. We've been missing key

238
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: guys at receiver, we've been missing key guys in the secondary.

239
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: We've been finding a way, right, so the guys have

240
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: been finding a way. Now, all of a sudden, we

241
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: missed two guys at the same position. And now, all

242
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, now it's a problem. Now we're not

243
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: at full steam. So it's these excuses that are kind

244
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: of being let in there. We got to find a

245
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: way to get out of this rut. And this next

246
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: game coming up is going to give us opportunity because

247
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: those guys have to try to find their way out

248
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: of a rut too. Those guys have lost four straight games,

249
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: we lost to Shade games. What the heck? Who's gonna

250
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: step up and decide they come out the hole? Because

251
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: that's exactly where we're at. We're in a hole, and

252
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: do you want to dig yourself out of it? The

253
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: emotional intelligence part of it, I completely agree the fight

254
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: after the game with Tristan Hill and you don't want

255
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: to see that. Hell, if you're gonna fight, fight quarter

256
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: one of the let's get into it, do it then

257
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: before the game is Yeah, you know, I'm just saying,

258
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: but you're right. I just I don't question there for

259
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: the two here, I think they've had some mistakes, they've

260
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: had some success, and they can look over these last

261
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: couple of games in point two. Okay, this is where

262
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: we went wrong. The line of scrimmage right now is

263
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: where the battle has got to begin, and we've had

264
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: some shuffling. We've talked a lot about continuity maybe they

265
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: don't care as much about continuity is we think, because

266
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: we saw them shuffling Stell and Layale, and I mean

267
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: we see that on the college level, never have seen

268
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: it much on the pro level. I don't know what

269
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: they're fishing for, why they're doing this in these matchups,

270
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: but obviously they're looking for something in game time. Um,

271
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: but you know, look, man, these guys, these are tough.

272
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: These are anybody that plays in the NFL. These are

273
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: tough people. And I don't doubt that they understand that

274
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: their backs are against the wall. But at some point,

275
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: with all the success that they had early, you recognize

276
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: that adversity was going to be on the table. Here's

277
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: that time. We could talk Mojoe moments, all the QUT

278
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: stuff all we want to, but adversity finally strikes and

279
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: all of the football cliches and stuff that you bang

280
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: up about next man up. Look, it gets to a

281
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: certain point where that stuff catches up with you. And

282
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: now it's caught up with us, And so I won't

283
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: look as much as we want to pass the blame

284
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: around right now, there are just some guys that have

285
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: got to elevate their gaming. Whether they are injured, which

286
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: all teams right now are dealing with that. We're just

287
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: dealing in a situation where guys have to elevate their game.

288
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: Who is that going to be? Our young guys, our rookies,

289
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: our second year guys are elevating their game, But what

290
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: about some other guys. There's a few guys right now

291
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: that hell, I don't know where they've been for the

292
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. No, you're right, who are some

293
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: of those guys in your head? Ah? Man, right, Lvie,

294
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: somebody can tell me where Vee is. I'm telling you

295
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: they'll be a reward poster out because I'm trying to

296
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: figure out what's going on in the running game. Kean O'Neill,

297
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he has some good plays, but there's just

298
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: some things like the I mean, look, he's making tackles,

299
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: the big play things, getting sacks, other things that we

300
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: need from our guys. We're just not getting it up

301
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: front by not being able to stop the run defensively

302
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: the defensive line. When you saw not only from our

303
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: offensive line, but their offensive line was able to establish

304
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: drives and run. We talked about the raiders and the

305
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: methodical drives that they were able to get gone. They

306
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: did that and then and it just it just took

307
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: us out. I mean it really did, man. And it

308
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: was a point in the game where it just looked

309
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: like we had nothing to offer except for the fourth quarter.

310
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: Who would you guys have a wanted poster out for

311
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: it because you were looking at him and you were

312
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: looking for them, and then they came up missing the

313
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. For me, it's it's just I

314
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: want to say, coach McCarthy, but say it. I do.

315
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I do want to say McCarthy. I just don't.

316
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: We don't know what's being said in the locker room.

317
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: Let me let me let me start out by saying

318
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: that we don't know what's being said on locker room,

319
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: but that that post game really, really, really because it's

320
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: an excuse. It's an excuse if if you're if you're

321
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: the leader, and you're making excuses, what do you think

322
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: that everybody who's following you is gonna do. Regardless if

323
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: it's true or not, it doesn't come out your mouth.

324
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: The fact that you bring that to the press conference,

325
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: you know what was said in the locker room, So yes,

326
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: they don't hear the press conferences, but they hear it

327
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: in the locker room, and so when they hear it

328
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: in the locker room, they bring that up there. Now,

329
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: guess what in a set of owning getting in saying

330
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: outs us, let's fix it, is something going on with us.

331
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: We can handle what we can. I told little kids

332
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: I was coaching a couple weeks ago. If you don't

333
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: like the result of something, you change it. You change it.

334
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: Maybe he's maybe I'm just playing devil's advocate. Maybe he's

335
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,239
Speaker 1: trying to get them to change it through the media.

336
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: Whether I'm not saying he's gonna get fined, but I'm

337
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: saying if you because I think his frustration and I think, look,

338
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: you're right, like and you showed us a highlight tape

339
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: last night of Anthony Brown's four pass interference penalties. And

340
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: there's technique problems, I mean, like the last one for sure,

341
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: like you have to turn around, you know. So there

342
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: were flags. I do think there was no rhythm to

343
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: the game. Twenty eight flags to me, come on, like,

344
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, the game should not be four hours long.

345
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: But you're right there there are penalties. I do wonder

346
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: and I agree with him, And he talked about this

347
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: I think the next day is there's not a consistency,

348
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: Like if you go back and watch the Chiefs game,

349
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: guys are getting away with grabbing the Cowboys receivers and

350
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff and they let it go. Well,

351
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: the next week it's a new crew and it's so

352
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: tickie tack. If there's anything, there's a flag like there

353
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: needs to be more consistency with players understanding what they

354
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: can do and not do week to week in a

355
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: game or what's going to be called and and I

356
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: think he's voicing that through the media maybe to try

357
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: to get a change, trying to even the playing field

358
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. Playing devil's advocate to your devil's advocate.

359
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: Is the fact that Inception Advocate going into the game,

360
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: they were scouting or parts pretty much for the coaching

361
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: staff on the referee crew that they were going to have,

362
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: and it was out there, it was in the open,

363
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: and they knew that was the type of crew going

364
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: into the game. So does that play a factor into

365
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: it at all? The fact that you knew what you

366
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: were going into netlisten here, Yes, referees can affect the game.

367
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: Sure everybody knows that. And there's gonna be days. We

368
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: saw it on Thursday. It could be happening in your favor,

369
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: it can happen against you, right and either way, you

370
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 1: know that that's gonna be a that's gonna be a

371
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: factor somehow, someway you hope that it is not, but

372
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,479
Speaker 1: you know usually it's gonna be a factor. What can

373
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: you control? You can control coming off the ball and

374
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: dominating the line of scrimmage, can't you? Did we do that? Nope?

375
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: Can we do? Can we dominate the ball? And can

376
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: we dominate running the ball? We can? We have we

377
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: have the personnel to do it. We didn't do that.

378
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: Can we dominate throwing the ball in the air? Yes,

379
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: we've been we've been bracking up four or five six

380
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: hundred yards passing or maybe you know, a total offense,

381
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: a lot of it through the air head. Did we

382
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: do that? No, we didn't do that. Okay, what about defense?

383
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: Did we play physical like we've been playing? Were they

384
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: running a flying flying around with the hair on fire,

385
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: where they hidden guys in their mouth enforcing turnovers like

386
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: they've been doing. No. So, at the end of the day,

387
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: you didn't do what you're capable of doing. That's the reality. Now,

388
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: did the referees assisting you're in your loss? Probably, but

389
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: guess what, you didn't earn it. You didn't earn it.

390
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: Own that fact. Don't make an excuse for why why

391
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: it's something Oh yeah, well, yeah, that they didn't help.

392
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: Of course they didn't help. They're not supposed to help.

393
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: And to your point, it was fourteen flags apiece. Yeah,

394
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: it was all the way around. Two just played better

395
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: and you've been you know, look, I think I've I've

396
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: watched enough NFL football to know like those back in

397
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: the days when Oakland Raiders were the most penalized team

398
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: in the league, and you expected that for them, even

399
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 1: when they had good teams, just because they were the Raiders.

400
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: They just got flagged or unnecessary roughness all the time.

401
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: Right now, I just feel like the Cowboys are not

402
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: getting the benefit of the doubt. If you watch enough football,

403
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: you see plays like Anthony Brown made in a call

404
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: not get And I'm not saying that this technique was

405
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: good was good, or that the other pis that he

406
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: got were not warranted, but on that last one, you know,

407
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: you have a guy's face guarding basically, and you have

408
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: a receiver pulling the guy into you that sealed the game,

409
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: and you don't want to see referees decide the game

410
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: for you. I know you you have and I understand

411
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: where you're coming from with the approach because it's old school.

412
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: Control what you can control. Don't bitch about the whistles

413
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 1: when you could do what you're doing right here on

414
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: the field. But there are certain points in that game

415
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: where it was like, well, come on, bro, you're gonna

416
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: make that call, then you're not gonna make this up

417
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: going over. And I feel like these referees whatever that

418
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: whoever that crew is, they should no, don't say that.

419
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: That crew should basically be under They should look, they

420
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: should watch these guys under review whatever it is, because

421
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: they're trying to make themselves the focal point in the game.

422
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: I think they're taking away from the game. The game

423
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been four hours long, and that had a

424
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: lot to referees had a lot to do it. I

425
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: don't disagree with you. However, we've shown this three out

426
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: of our last four games, So who's whose fault is it?

427
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: And they look, you know what I'm saying like that,

428
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: So I hear you, and I don't disagree with you.

429
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: This characteristic. This performance has shown up seventy five percent

430
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: of our last four games. Yeah, no, no, no, no,

431
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: just the penalties, just the lack of execution. But they

432
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: have been one of the higher penalized teams. Yeah, great, cowboys,

433
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: you know what. You're the cowboy. You know it. You

434
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: know it's just like the raider, you know it. So

435
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: guess what. Step up and make sure they can't call it.

436
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: Don't let these boys up the line of screamas you

437
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: wanted to worry about holding down the field, right, blow

438
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: them off the growls. Throw these guys around like it's

439
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: like there's some little little Tonka toys. You have to

440
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: be more dominant when you know that you're gonna face

441
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: another opponent, go out there and then destroy them so

442
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: bad that they can't even throw a dog on flags. Yeah,

443
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: and that's the thing defensively is you can't let this

444
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: performance affect your aggressiveness. They can't now be afraid to

445
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: get flags. And we've been seeing that guys have been

446
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: been hesitant to hit. Guys have been coming from the

447
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: secondary kind of they're kind of backing up. We were

448
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: talking about in the studio, like you rather hit them, Kayzy,

449
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: freaking Neil. Some of these guys. I mean, these guys

450
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: aren't hitting like they were hitting four. Yeah, remember at

451
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: ten point three of your last four games, you have

452
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: not performed. Well, that's the issue addressed that stopped talking

453
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: about the dog on referees. Fix what's going on in

454
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: this locker room and within these meeting rooms that if

455
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: you make sure you don't go out there and perform

456
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: like you've been performing, especially when over the last six games,

457
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: all of which are winnable for this Cowboys team. You

458
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: could talk about the Arizona game. I still think that's

459
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: a very winnable matchup for the Cowboys, especially if they

460
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: have some of their guys back. But this is a

461
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: crucial stretch coming up for the Cowboys and it starts

462
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: on Thursday against the New Orleans Saints. When we come back,

463
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Saints matchup a little bit,

464
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: but before we get to that, I want to talk

465
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: about Anthony Brown and the game that he had. Was

466
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: it as bad as we thought? Was that something that

467
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: was at a sign of the future. Will kind of

468
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: address it and talk about it when we come back.

469
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: You're on talking Cowboys. There's nothing as unique as our eyes,

Speaker 1: understand what you were talking about, but he was on

514
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: top of it. He was ready to get It's a

515
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: back pocket break, all right. Thirty six thirty three the

516
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys fall to the Raiders on Thanksgiving. They've lost three

517
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: of their last four. And we just talked about some

518
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: of the high points and buy high points, I mean

519
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: low points of that loss to the Raiders. Now I

520
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: want to continue with the low points here. And Anthony Brown.

521
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: He's played well all season, He's played above expectations all season,

522
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: but this was this was rough one for big old

523
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: a B on the edge. Heck, moll, what did you

524
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: think about Anthony Brown? I'll let you start this off

525
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: because we could just rip the stick smelly stickers out

526
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: of there. Now we're gonna keep a spell on there,

527
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, some of these problems start to

528
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: rid their heads all over again, and I just wish

529
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: to Sean Jackson would just retire already or signaud we

530
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: just sign it. You know it's gonna be a problem.

531
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: And obviously speed on the outside is a problem, and

532
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: many they found it. They found the weakness in the defense,

533
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: and they explored it at the entire game, and they

534
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: made it a pentatil on the donkey moment for Anthony Brown,

535
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: and he just couldn't he couldn't escape it. And look,

536
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: he's been so good over the last couple of games

537
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: and you know, getting pis and getting turnovers for us,

538
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: interceptions for us, being strong in the running game. But

539
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: that wasn't a good showing. There's no positive spin that

540
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: I could put on it for him. Um, he looked

541
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: like hot garbage out there. And the only way to

542
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: recoup and get this back is you know, getting our

543
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: pass rush back going. That's what we haven't had. And

544
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: a lot of guys are not having success. When quarterbacks

545
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: like Derek Carr, I don't care how good are our

546
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: bad they are when they you give an NFL quarterback

547
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: that kind of time, they're gonna exploit some of your

548
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: weaknesses on the back end. And we just aren't getting

549
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: to the quarterback efficiently enough to make a difference for

550
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: our secondary not playing complimentary enough. What type of receiver

551
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: causes him the most issues. I think small, fast receivers

552
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: um get him. That's that's been a problem. Antonio Brown.

553
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: Week one, Yeah, route runners and so when in the

554
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: edges route runners, but you know, like we're getting to

555
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they got they gotta have a plenty of those, yes,

556
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: but they're everywhere. So I mean he's struggling right now.

557
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: Think about Cooper Cup Junior on the other side. I mean,

558
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily Randall Cobb for the Packers, but then

559
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: you'll have you'll have Anthony Brown, you'll have Gregory Brown,

560
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: You'll have Gregory back, and you'll have Tank back. So

561
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: that will make help. That will make a difference as well.

562
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: Right now, pass, especially on Thursday, it just wasn't there.

563
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: We didn't We didn't have a lot of He had

564
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: way too much time and even with Waller going out

565
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: of the game, you think that, you know, those things

566
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: would that was for us, but then we still couldn't

567
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: exploit any weaknesses. Really, the only guy that got in

568
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: the backfield a whole lot was probably Micah Parsons. We

569
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: really wouldn't be league with tackles for losses at what

570
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: I read fifteen. It's incredible. He's all over it, dude. Yeah,

571
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: it's legit special Bazuka. He's the high point out of

572
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: the low points at the moment right now, and this

573
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: three of four games stretch, he's been consistently player on defense.

574
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: He welcomes the challenge. He welcome to the challenge. And

575
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: we started we started talking about emotional intelligence and some

576
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: of these things. He loves it. He loves the pressure.

577
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: Some guys love it, some guys responding well to it

578
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: right there. They love this heightened sense of stress and

579
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: they and they like to go. That's their opportunity to

580
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: go out there and not only prove to others, but

581
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: they're trying to more so prove it to themselves that

582
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: they're capable. And he's that type of guy. What you're

583
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: looking for is a whole team of those guys. And

584
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that that we have that right now.

585
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that the Cowboys are have that identity

586
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: right now. It's questionable. It's easy when things are going awesome.

587
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: When things aren't going so well, how do you respond

588
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: when you look at him? You know how he's going

589
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: to respond When you look at everybody else you have

590
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: question marks. So how does dan Quinn go back in

591
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: his bag and fix this defense? Because right now, without

592
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: those key pieces that you these guys are not coming

593
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: back for this game, and they're not going to be

594
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: back for the other Tank might be back this week,

595
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: I think takes back this week. He's got a chance

596
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: to be back this He was on the field last week,

597
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: which is good. You jumping up and down. That's why

598
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: they I think they got him back into practice, even

599
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: though it's one light practice last week, to try to

600
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: get him started on hopefully getting back. And that's and

601
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: so I guess that's my question is now, with those

602
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: key pieces back, how much different is that going to

603
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: be for this defense because obviously we've got to generate

604
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: some pressure, we've got to get some stops. You saw

605
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: the time of possession for the Raiders again, it was

606
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: those long, methodical drives that they had, and they scored

607
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: on those drives. We couldn't take advantage even when we

608
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: tried to steal some momentum back. Our defense just came

609
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: out flat. We were not attacking. You saw guys trying

610
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: to shy away from getting tackles. We're not the physical

611
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: team that we are anymore. So that culture that we

612
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: started the season with has dissipated. How do we get back?

613
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: I think you called him out. You call everybody else

614
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: as a man. This is a team made up of

615
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of individual men, and you have to challenge

616
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: these guys you you highlighted on the film and you

617
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: call them out and say, what the heck are you

618
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: doing here? La, what the heck are you doing here?

619
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: And everybody's like, oh, you know what's holding your breath

620
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: and make sure you're not the next man that he highlights.

621
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: But you challenge each guy as a man and say,

622
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: how are you going to respond to this? You know?

623
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: And so this is when the culture of competitiveness really

624
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: comes in because if you're not gonna do it, guess what,

625
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: I bet you he will, right, I bet you he will.

626
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: And so you have opportunity to go out there and

627
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: show me that you're not gonna allowed has messed to

628
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: happen again, that you guys you're gonna execute show me

629
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: at your physical showman as you can run this defense,

630
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: and if you can't, I'm going to the next man.

631
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: And I think some of it falls to the offense.

632
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean drink every time we say complimentary on this show,

633
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: but if you guys want to and we got a

634
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: fruit cup over there, but that was my Martin Ellis

635
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: can't get. You know, these three and ounce Cowboys had

636
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: five three and outs offensively in the game, two out

637
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: of their first three drives, and you're you're putting the

638
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: defense out in the field for a long time. And

639
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: I think when they've been successful, it's been in part

640
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: this year because playing with the lead, more fresh and

641
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys offensively controlling the last scrimmage and hasn't happened. So

642
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: I think it kind of goes hand in hand a

643
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: little bit. Well, that's where a lot of the struggles

644
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: came from last year, was not playing complimentary football, drinking drink.

645
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: But that's the thing for me, is you're asking who

646
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: is the guy that steps up? Who who does who

647
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: gets to challenge this team? I think Tank Lawrence is

648
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: one of those guys that has to come in and

649
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: immediately play up to the caliber that Lawrence can play,

650
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: because that's a reality that leader What was that? Do

651
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: you think that's a reality. I don't know if it's

652
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: the reality yet I'm saying. I'm saying, do you guys

653
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: have those expectations of Tint that come in and be

654
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: what Tank was. Hell, yeah, yeah I do. I don't.

655
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: Why is that I do? Okay, I don't. Why not reps?

656
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: You just don't think he's there. Ye gonna have to

657
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: get into it. Even as a veteran player that's been

658
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: in the league as long as he has. You just said,

659
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: the rust is gonna be there and you're not gonna see.

660
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: I think he bring him in a limited action obviously

661
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: in rotation. You know, maybe he doesn't well he starts

662
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: the game, but you know, keep he doesn't take all

663
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: the snaps, you know, and use him sparingly. You still

664
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: have bash him, you still have Ghost and you have

665
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: some guys at Armstrong that have you know, played up

666
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: to part been his in his with his absence. But

667
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: if he comes in with a full workload, I would

668
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: be very very surprised. Yeah, I don't think they're doing

669
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: him like that. Isaiah's point different injuries obviously, but when

670
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: he had the shoulder surgery a couple of years ago,

671
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: he talked about like he missed a lot of time rehabbing.

672
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: His technique wasn't what it was because he's big on

673
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: that right when he came back. So maybe there's some

674
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: of that, But I'm with Heck, like, I think, hell

675
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: get him in there in a rotation and that motor

676
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: is going to be big. I think he can set

677
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: a tone for them and help establish that physical part

678
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: because that's just that's who he is. And we mentioned

679
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: this whenever Jalen Smith was released earlier in the season,

680
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: but the guy who they turned to to look at

681
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily Jalen Smith, but he was one of

682
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: the ones that wanted the attention on him. Tank Lawrence

683
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: is the same kind of guy right now. And at

684
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: the moment you're looking at Micah Parsons, your defense is

685
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: looking at a rookie and saying, all right, where do

686
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: we go next? You need a veteran to step into

687
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: that role and to take that that that figurehead of

688
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: the defense. Micah said the other day, like he can

689
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: have all these chips, all these you know, the chip

690
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: blocks and all that stuff. Yeah, but come on back,

691
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: I'm getting shipped every player. Yeah, it's gonna help out

692
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, you're right. I hope it does. I

693
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: hope it does. The only concern that I have is

694
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: that Tank comes back trying to beat Tank and then

695
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: he when he's not, what's his response, M And I

696
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: don't think he would fold. Yeah, going to the psychology,

697
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: you've talked a lot about the culture of you know,

698
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: this team and what dan Quinn brings to it. And

699
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: if a guy is out he's feeling like he's being

700
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: left out of the party. I think that's a lot.

701
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: I think Tank feels that right now that he's been

702
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: left out a lot of the fund that's been going on,

703
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: and now that they're in the slump, he could be

704
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: a part of the reason that they get back in

705
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: the win column. I mean, for Mary Cooper, imagine how

706
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: he feels being out for the last two games and

707
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: recognizing that his team has struggled without him. We hadn't

708
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: been able to get a lot going as far as

709
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: drives because of the attention that's played to Mary Cooper

710
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: in the last two games. So you know, I just

711
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: think that that absence cannot be under something. We can't

712
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: say enough about that. But if Tank can come back

713
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: and he can have an impact on this defense, I

714
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: think it's going to mean a lot. Yeah. I hope,

715
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: I hope that he can And I don't disagree I

716
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: believe that he's hyped up is more than anybody ever

717
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: could be in terms of coming back. But my concern

718
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: is when you're that hype and when you know that

719
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: everybody's looking at you, you know that you're the an

720
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: now as the leader, what happens when you come back

721
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: and you're just a guy? What's your response then? Do

722
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: you still lead with? What? Do you still lead in

723
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: the locker room? Do you still lead on the field

724
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: or are you going to show your frustrations and now

725
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: let that continue to snowball onto other people. That's that's

726
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: what my concern is. I hope he comes back and

727
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: he's freaking d law and he balls out. But if

728
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't, what is his response because if that is

729
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: just as as important as him coming back and balling.

730
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: But that's integrity and character, all the things that you know.

731
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: It's also frustration. It could be frustration. We will see,

732
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: We'll see. But how did you how did you guys

733
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: think about about Gallup his his his resume in terms

734
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: of his opportunity to be the number one guy. It

735
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: took it till the fourth quarter for it to show up,

736
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: but he had a little bit there. He showed he

737
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: can do it, I think, but it's going to be

738
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: a question on will he do it. Yeah. I mean

739
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: it showed up late a fourth quarter offensively, they didn't

740
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: get going anything until the fourth quarter. Um. I agree

741
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: with Jerry after the game when he said we probably

742
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 1: could have thrown just thrown it up more and challenged

743
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: and said, hey, throw the flag flags. That's what Vegas did.

744
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: So I think late he showed everything we talked about,

745
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: like what he could add coming back. He showed in

746
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter with the you know, contested catches down

747
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: the field, take the top off all that stuff. Oh.

748
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to have those guys back, with Michael

749
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: Gallop and having Lamb and Cooper and everybody back and healthy.

750
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: I want Dalton Schultz to play better. It just it

751
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: was it's all together Dak too. And I was going

752
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: to ask you this. I felt like in the last

753
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: those last couple drives fourth quarter, Dak's footwork looked better.

754
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: He just looked more in rhythm when they got more

755
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: up tempo. I don't know if they can do that

756
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: the entire game. I swear to God, we have these

757
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: same conversations in twenty nineteen. Yep, should they go up

758
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: tempo more. Should they do that to try to get

759
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: him out of this rut, because it's the same conversations

760
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: we've had. Well, when you have five, three and ounce,

761
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: it's really hard to get any rhythm going. And that's

762
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: the only thing that you can do. You see him college,

763
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: high school, all of that. How do you get in rhythm?

764
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: You go up tempo, you get things moving a little

765
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: bit faster. You saw Kansas City do it in the

766
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl versus San Francisco. They went up

767
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 1: tempo in the second half to get back in rhythm.

768
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: We're just finding it, and I think the offensive line

769
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: continuity not being there, and obviously Steele did I say, yeah,

770
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: I did. It's the way I don't have to worry

771
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: about a rotation. Unfortunately that week, Ye, there's not going

772
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: to be one. And why is that Rob Phillip because

773
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: he is in COVID protocol, who is with Terrence Steele

774
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: along with multiple assistant coaches, all three strength coaches, Joe

775
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: Philbin on the offensive line coach, Jeff blasco his assistant

776
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: and hopefully that's it. Yeah, I'm moving forward because you

777
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: don't know about that. That whole situation they're in the

778
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: extended protocols again today. Umi was out last week, wasn't

779
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: he yea yeah, yeah, there were three coaches out that

780
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: missed the game, and now it's more Scott Tolzine an

781
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: assistant coach, another assistant coach, like and guys are being

782
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: tested now daily, vaccinated or run vaccinate, I believe, and

783
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: try to cross your fingers there's no more cases over

784
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: the next couple of days. So that's so scary, man,

785
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: because everybody the NFL is been dealing with it. It

786
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: seemed to subside for a little while, and I don't

787
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: know if everyone relaxed, but it's it's going to continue

788
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: to rear its head over the NFL season, and you

789
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: just don't want this to happen at pivotal times in

790
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: the season. So I applaud the organization for starting this

791
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: process of hey, daily testing, starting to isolate guys right

792
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: now because pretty soon, man's it's just going it's going

793
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: to keep continue to go up the ladder and it's

794
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: going to be somebody that we can't miss like that.

795
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: It sounds like a Mario be back today, So that's good.

796
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: You hope, hope Terrence is doing well. But yeah, they actually,

797
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna league mandates this now. But they actually started

798
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: it last week with the protocols because they had guys

799
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: out last week. But this is I mean, it's still reality.

800
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: It's it's like injuries. It's still a factor in your

801
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: day to day out the season. Gotta keep an eye

802
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: on it and hopefully it doesn't rear its head at

803
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: the worst possible time. This is a pretty important time

804
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,279

860
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: jam pack show. And are you feeling good about you

861
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 1: perked up a little bit? I don't. I just haven't

862
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: looked at it either. I haven't no idea at this point.

863
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: I just at this point, I know I'm good game.

864
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: I always picked right, always picked that game right in

865
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: two goodness. Sorry, Yeah, you're catching us just on the couch,

866
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: just on the Cowboys alone. That's not good. So not

867
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: at all. Um, What are some of the early things

868
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: that you've looked at with the Saints and some of

869
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: the early challenges that could potentially be there. The biggest

870
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: thing jumps out to me is their defensive front and

871
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: their run defense. And you know, like Carolina had a

872
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: great run defense early in the season. Cowboys blew that up.

873
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: But now we're ten eleven games in and the Saints

874
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: are given up three point four yards and carry. They're

875
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: very good up front. Yeah, and uh, you know there's

876
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: been some questions the media, how much zeken playing this game?

877
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: Could they consider resting him. I don't think he wants

878
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: to rest, he said yesterday, you can manage it. Nobody

879
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: to this point has come to him and said, would

880
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: you consider resting? But they're watching his snaps. You know,

881
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: he hasn't had fifty snaps in a game in like

882
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: last four games, So even if he does play, they'll

883
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: probably try to manage him. Tony Pollard, can they get

884
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: that going in this game? You know that? That's to me,

885
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: that's the key because they heck said it early in

886
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: the show. They gotta get some balance back offensively here.

887
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: Ye Zeke not gonna let them trick him out of

888
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: his spot. If the same people selling you the rest

889
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: that if at the end of the season telling you

890
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: you're overpaid and trying to look to PFF and analytics,

891
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: yeah exactly. I don't let them do that to you. Zeke.

892
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: You know, tough it out, and that's exactly what I

893
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: feel like he's gonna do. But I'm with you, Cameron

894
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 1: Jordan worries me yea, And wherever he lines up, we've

895
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: got to pay some attention to that. But then on

896
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: the back half, of their defense. They have some guys

897
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins and Marshaw and Lattimore. You know, look, they

898
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: they have some guys and some dudes that they're gonna

899
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: do the same thing that the Raiders did. They're gonna

900
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: do the same thing that the Chiefs. They're gonna pack

901
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and they're gonna bear. You dare

902
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: us to beat them on the back half with all

903
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: of our weapons back if they played like that on Thursday,

904
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: I think we score forty burger. Now here's the thing. Offensively,

905
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: our defense cannot allow the Saints and Trevor Simeon to

906
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: get going. They off there and apt offensively. And it's

907
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: really kind of surprising to say that from a Sean

908
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: Payton coach team that they have the problems that they have.

909
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: But but without Jamis Winston and obviously with Bridge retiring,

910
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: they've had some trouble getting this offense back going. But

911
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: they run on confidence. Also, you're gonna be down there

912
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: in the in the dome, and brother, it's gonna be loud.

913
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: If you had problems before with noise, you're gonna have

914
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: it again. And you know, if they have anything going,

915
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: trust me, they're gonna continue to keep those things going.

916
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: But special teams wise, I've been loving what we've been doing.

917
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: Like Tony Pollard ran back when Look, that's not enough

918
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: to be said about that, especially with the rule changes

919
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: on kickoffs. To be able to run kickoff back in

920
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one is something. But you know, special teams watch,

921
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do it in all three phases

922
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: and play complimentary ball. Well, the Saints are owing four

923
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: in their last four games. They don't have a quarterback

924
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: that can move the ball. They're not effective in a

925
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: passing game right now. The running game has been very minute.

926
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: Obviously Kamara has been out for the most part. Ingram

927
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: did nothing and um, they're so their offense is in

928
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: a bad, bad way right now. So our defense, opportunity

929
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: to get your mojo back, mojo moment, whatever you want

930
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: to call it this week, opportunity to get your swag back. Okay,

931
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: so that's a swag back game. Offensively, we have to

932
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: figure out a way to move the ball against a

933
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 1: team that has some goons on defense. That's just the reality.

934
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: It's not just talent. These boys are goons. They built different,

935
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: they have different makeup, they're upbringing. It is different if

936
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: you if you at Tristan Hill you want to punt

937
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: somebody in the mouth, this is not the team to

938
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: do it against, because all these boys will step up

939
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: to you real quick in a hurry, in the form

940
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: of Cameron Jordan, Malcolm Jenkins, Damario Davis, Geez. I like

941
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: him a lot. They have some dudes on defense, So

942
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: we have to take advantage holistically on defense. Special teams

943
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: own that we should at least own two thirds of

944
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: this game, and then offensively, offensively, we have to find

945
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: a way to get something rolling. I think that's the

946
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: biggest thing for this is defensively. You look at it

947
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: and you say, this is gonna be a tough matchup.

948
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: The Cowboys offense needs to find a rhythm against a very,

949
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: very talented Saints defense. The Saints defense hasn't played well

950
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: though They've had their lapses over the last couple of

951
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: weeks to give up thirty one points to Buffalo on

952
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving too. They haven't played necessarily well, so they'll have

953
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: a chip on their shoulder going into the game. You've

954
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: got to win that matchup. If you win that matchup,

955
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 1: I feel pretty confident about slowing down the Saints offense,

956
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: there's not a ton of threats there. Even though they

957
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: may get album Kamara back, they're expected to get Alvin Kamara,

958
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: of course they are. I think even then, I'm still

959
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: not uber uber worried about that offense. I think you

960
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: can figure out a way to find some mojo on

961
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: the defensive side. But man, that's gonna be two matchups

962
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 1: we're talking about tomorrow, and we'll outline it a little

963
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: bit more in depth when we return nine am Central

964
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: Time on Tuesday. That's gonna do it for us here

965
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: on this edition, though, for Chris Beam in the back,

966
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: for heck Ma Harrison, Rob Phillips, Isaiah stand Back, I'm

967
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Yomen saying so long from Talking Cowboys presented by Tostidios.

968
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: We will see you tomorrow. This has been a production

969
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,279
