Welcome to another edition of The Break. 9 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: We're live the s WBC Morria Studios at the Star, 10 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: and man, we have so much to talk about the 11 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: day Cowboys lose. Last night, they lose thirteen to nine 12 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: to the New England Patriots, a game that was pretty 13 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: messy from the standpoint of the weather, but so many, 14 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: so many points that came from that game worth discussing, 15 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: and some things that were said after the game that 16 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: will definitely get into as well. Let's start first, as 17 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: we normally do, a particularly after a loss, and the 18 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: loss with so many storylines, I want to go around 19 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: the table and tell me each of you guys what 20 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: you think was the biggest storyline coming out of yesterday's game. 21 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: Nicholas start with you, Well, everyone's getting I probably say 22 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: the same same two things. But I mean I special 23 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: teams was the issue, and we talked about it all week. 24 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: When you have conditions like that, with the weather the 25 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: way it was, it neutralizes a lot. We had good offenses, 26 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: good defenses. It comes down to the little things and 27 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: little things of special teams, and so it just one 28 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: thing after another just continued to happen. And that's where 29 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: the biggest differences between the Patriots and the Cowboys on 30 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: the field is the special teams units, and that was 31 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: they were exposed. Dave. Yeah, I mean I wrote in 32 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: my story last night. You know, people love to call 33 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: special teams hidden yardage, but there was nothing hidden about 34 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: it last night. It was right there and playing view 35 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: for anybody to see. Just a comedy of errors, man, 36 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: I mean the I mean Bill Belichick himself said the 37 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: difference in the game was the block punt, like the 38 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: one short field the I mean, you know, the Patriots 39 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: only had to go ten twelve yards on that possession, 40 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: only touchdown of the game. Cowboys couldn't buy somebody who 41 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: could handle the ball on a kick team to save 42 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,839 Speaker 1: their life. The sequence with you know, the Patriots didn't 43 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: put a return man out there, and that just flummixed 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys beyond belief. Gave up twenty yards of fuel 45 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: position on an eventual New England field goal drive. You know, 46 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: it almost like it feels cheap, like it feels like 47 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: Hindsight's twenty twenty to sit here and harp on the 48 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: special teams. But like in the moment, in a game 49 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: that was that tight, I'm looking at the sheet five 50 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: out of twenty seven on third down between these two teams, 51 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: Like when nobody could buy a first down, it was 52 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: just painstakingly obvious that the Patriots had the details fine 53 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: tuned and the Cowboys did not. Amber I mean, it's 54 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: just very unfortunate for the Cowboys. Like Nick said, when 55 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: it's not one thing, it's another. And when you talk 56 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: about special teams, this was a game that the Cowboys 57 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: could have definitely won. I mean, when you see the 58 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: way that the Pages were playing, it was just in 59 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: favor for the Cowboys, despite them being at home and 60 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: all of the factors that go into that, and the 61 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: coaching and all of that. This was a very winnable game. 62 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: But again, the Cowboys just can't stay out of their 63 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: own ways, and they just keep making mistake after mistake, 64 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: things that didn't make much sense. And then some of 65 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: the calls. There were a couple of times, and I 66 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: saw people talking about it on Twitter as well. When 67 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: you're being successful running the ball with seek or poler 68 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: and then on a third down you decide to throw 69 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: a pass, it's like, why why go that route? So 70 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: again it's just cowboys stepping on their own foot and 71 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: making their own mistakes. All right, let's dive a little 72 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: deeper into the special teams. What do you guys think 73 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: was the biggest special team snaff food? Because there were 74 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: you debut outlined some of them. You had the block 75 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: punt you had obviously, and I'll even take the block 76 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: punt out because I think the block punt we all 77 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: know without the block punt, there may not have been 78 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: a touchdown in that game that the Patriots would have scored. 79 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: But looking at the other things, you got the kickoff 80 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: returns where they couldn't quite figure out that maybe they 81 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: should move the returner up ten yards because those kicks 82 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: were coming short. You had the situation there with the 83 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: two penalties that that that were twenty yards of lost 84 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: yardage that would have pinned the Patriots back instead gave 85 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: them a ball in pretty favorable a field position. I 86 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: think it was at their thirty eight. I want to say, um, 87 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: looking at everything happened from a special team standpoint, what 88 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: do you think outside of the block punt was the 89 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: thing that that you look at and you're like, man, 90 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys just basically got outcoached in this situation. That's the 91 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: sequence with the twenty extra yards on the punt just 92 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: felt so in them. Like I said, in the moment, 93 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: it was so glaring where you know, the Patriots just 94 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: were like, well, we're gonna, We're not gonna. He was 95 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: a returner, and the Cowboys were so freaked out by 96 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: that that they took a delay of game. Didn't they 97 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: get the punt off? And it I mean it was 98 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: a great punt by Chris Jones. The Patriots would have 99 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: had the ball at their own eighteen yard line inside 100 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: the twenty, and again the Cowboys were so freaked out 101 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: by accounting for the change in protection because the Patriots 102 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: had an extra man, which, like I've never coached football, 103 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: I've definitely never coached special teams, but like, I don't 104 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: know it doesn't. It just doesn't seem like such a 105 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: drastic change that it's going to screw you up twice. 106 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: But it did, and it was a twenty yard difference 107 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: on an eventual field goal drive. I don't have his 108 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a bad thing. But they got outcoached 109 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: by Bill Belichick on that play. You got outcoached by 110 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: yourself and the and the freaking weather by not realizing 111 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: that at some point moved the move Tony Pollard up 112 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: ten yards because they're not kicking it. They can't kick 113 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: it that far. Yeah, just see the win. So to 114 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: not be prepared for that. They did that against Detroit 115 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: and there was no rain or wind, and they still 116 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: moved it up because they realized that's what the Lions 117 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: were doing. So I don't know, they just put too 118 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: much faith and those guys back there to catch it. 119 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, if you're tied in you 120 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: can't catch the ball like that, Like what I don't 121 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: understand if Tony Potter can't catch the ball like that, Like, 122 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: it's just the whole the whole unit is just it's 123 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: a mess. It's an absolute mess. And it was interesting 124 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: after the game Bill Belichick when he was talking about. 125 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: He said, you know, we went into the game with 126 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: the intention that we wanted to challenge their their ball 127 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: handling skills for their of their returners. When you think 128 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: about that kind of level of detail, you think about, Hey, 129 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: we're going to go into this game, and one of 130 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: the things we think we can challenge because of the 131 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: weather is their ability to be able to fill the kick. 132 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: Like that's the part that to me goes well beyond 133 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: like I don't I don't know. I'm not in any 134 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: of the coaching meetings, but I certainly don't. I don't 135 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: suspect that's the kind of thing that that the Cowboys 136 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: are necessarily doing. And that's the part that really when 137 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: you when you go up against the coach that thinks 138 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: about everything. I'm not trying to cut you off. I'm sorry. 139 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: I know it's hard returning, but you're not gonna do 140 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: that because this team and this coach doesn't do that. 141 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: Because we talked about it earlier. Parking lot, home away, 142 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: parking lot and moon we do what we do, well, 143 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: that's crap, because what you need to do is do 144 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: it differently. When the rain is coming down and there's 145 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: a win, and then you got to figure out what 146 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna do differently. This hole given us hotel keys 147 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: that say be who we are. That's that doesn't work 148 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: because you can't be who you are because that's it 149 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: doesn't work. Seventy two degrees at at and t Staateum, 150 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: that's not the way it was. You have to adjust. 151 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: They didn't adjust, and Belichick went into the game thinking 152 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,559 Speaker 1: that Cowboys didn't. They went into the game thinking Tony 153 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: Polar stands at the goal line like he always does 154 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: and the ball goes over his head and oh wait, 155 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't do that. Now what it's a scramble drill. 156 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: Do what we do? Just why not do what they 157 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: don't do? Like, yeah, do it works? It works? Do 158 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: it works? Yeah? And again we are We are making 159 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: some assumptions that they didn't have these kinds of conversations, 160 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: but it certainly didn't really if they did, didn't reflect 161 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: on the field. It didn't feel like they practice or 162 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: raining on Thursday and in the Forth Center where they practice, 163 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: but Thursday, I think it might have been raining outside. 164 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I've been raining around Dallas. 165 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: But they should have been prepared for that part. They 166 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: really do you need to work gloves or do you 167 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: go without gloves. I mean you should know that you 168 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: should know yourself how you handle balls at this point 169 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: in your fourth year. And to be fair, we had 170 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: this discussion last week and I think I think I remember, 171 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, I think the conversation went in 172 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: the way of, Okay, you have two ways you can 173 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: look at this. You can look at it as let's 174 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: get a good day of practice by going inside and 175 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: not dealing with the elements so that we can make 176 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: sure that we have a good day of practice, or 177 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: let's go outside and maybe not have as great a 178 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: day of practice, but at least you get to simulate 179 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: the elements. And I don't know how everybody felt on that, 180 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: however everybody landed on that, but certainly you look at 181 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: what happened yesterday and in hindsight, at least you think 182 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: that maybe they should have given a little more credence 183 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: to the fact that you had an opportunity to mimic 184 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: what you were going to face against the Patriots, and 185 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: you just it was a missed opportunity. Nobody on this 186 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: team really looked like they were prepared for a slick football. 187 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you know even you know, the biggest offensive 188 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: play of the game, Randall cop fifty eight yards, he 189 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: like fumbled to himself mid play. I feel like it 190 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: happened again too, like it, I mean, didn't Jar would 191 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: have a kind of a Jarwin popped it to himself, 192 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, when bad snap on on a pretty big 193 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: play for Dak, which, yeah, the snap was bad, but 194 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: then Dak needed a minute to corral it. And yeah, 195 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: like I definitely I wasn't going into this game like 196 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: clutching my pearls that they hadn't practiced in the rain. 197 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: So I feel cheap harping on it now. But at 198 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: the same time, nobody looked ready for it. Um and 199 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: and the Patriots handled it a lot better than they did, 200 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. Yeah, And I really, you know, 201 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: I I know I was the only one on here 202 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: that picked the Cowboys, and I don't. I don't take 203 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: that back at all, because I really think watching that game, 204 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: I'm even more convinced than I was before. I think 205 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have better football players than the Patriots. They 206 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: really do. They do. And I think that if they 207 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: played that game again and there's no excuses about it, 208 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: I get it they play that game again, they play 209 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: at atnc STAM, I think the Cowboys definitely win that game. 210 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: I think they win it again if it's if we're 211 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: probably going the same way. Finish that. Finish that thought, 212 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: though I can hear people screaming the rest of that 213 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: thought into their coaching. Yeah, the Cowboys have much better 214 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: players and the Patriots have much better coaches. So true, 215 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: but I mean there's thirty one other teams that that 216 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: that don't have better coaches than Belichair. But that's also 217 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: why they're nine and one with a roster right now 218 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: that offensively isn't doing nothing. Ten and one. I'm tending one. 219 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry they're tending one. But that's my point. Like, 220 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: even if you take that game, you put that in 221 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: at and T Stadium, forget, you put it wherever you 222 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: want to know the rain did the Cowboys win? I honestly, 223 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: I came back to the same thing. I don't think 224 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: that when it comes down to those close kind of 225 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: games like they have to play there, I think coaching 226 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: makes a difference. And I think no matter where they 227 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: would have been, they would have had the same kind 228 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: of situation. And I don't I mean the Patriots would 229 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: have played better us well, agree and don't even don't 230 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: tweet at me and say that I'm given excuses. What 231 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying is is the Patriots, in their coaching and 232 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: special rooms, they handle that thing better than the Cowboys. 233 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: I think that it affected Dallas more than an affected 234 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: New England. Yeah, I really do, don't you. I mean, 235 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm not giving excuses. I just think the Cowboys are 236 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: a better football team if the conditions, but they can't. 237 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: I that has to be perfect for them, and that's 238 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,599 Speaker 1: not a sign of a good football and they have 239 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: to they have to play a perfect game. And that's 240 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: the problem this season. Well this season, what we what 241 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: we've seen is against good teams, they don't have a 242 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: lot of room for error and they haven't been able 243 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: to play the clean kind of game they need in 244 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: order to beat these good teams. And to me, that 245 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: suggests that maybe the talent may be there, but for 246 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: whatever reason, they're not able to click enough. I would 247 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: argue they have a lot of room for error, and 248 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: that's how sloppy and unpoised they are. I mean, they 249 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: lost the turnover battle minus two and all the hidden yardage. 250 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: We just talked about like they made a ton of 251 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: mistakes and still only lost by four and had a 252 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: chance to win the game at the end. They have 253 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: a lot of room for error, and I think that 254 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: that speaks a lot of how talented they are and 255 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: how not poised well coached. You put some of it 256 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: on execution too, I mean, untimely flags. Some of that's 257 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: on the players, But they don't bring their a game basically. Ever, 258 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: We've said it a thousand times and I've said it 259 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: at least, I mean, they're not clutch. This is not 260 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: a clutch football team that wins in the fourth quarter 261 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: when when the game's on the line and the crowd's 262 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: going nuts and they've got they're piping in the sound 263 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: and it's third and eight and all that that they're 264 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: they're not making the place. We're gonna take the place, 265 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: and and I know where we're gonna go. But to 266 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: think that the Cowboys are going to go and make 267 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: the play, we're gonna get into the field goal decision, 268 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: I guess, I mean that just goes back to arrogance 269 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: of thinking that you're going to go down there. I 270 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: just want to throw this in there. I hear what 271 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: you're saying, and I think you have a valid point. 272 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: But if this game was played and seventy two degrees 273 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: indoors at at and T, I completely trust Bill Belichick 274 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: to find a way to use that to his advantage. 275 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: He'd be like, well, we knew the light would be 276 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: in Dack's eyes on in the third quarter, and like that, 277 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: we knew that the board up there was gonna admit 278 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: certain certain electronical electronic magnetic field or something, some of it, 279 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: some of it. Like it's a snowball effect, right, Like 280 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: he's an amazing coach, he's a Hall of Famer, he's 281 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: one of the best ever, and he probably gets more 282 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: credit than he deserves because of it. Just like I said, 283 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: it just snowballs and you start giving him credit for 284 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: stuff that maybe he didn't even do on purpose. At 285 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: the same time, he deserves it. Yeah, he absolutely deserves it. 286 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: And for my money, I think he would have found 287 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: a way to eke out that game in perfect conditions. Maybe, 288 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: I mean, we we'll never know, but I mean, I 289 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: just it's unfortunate because this, you know, weather like that 290 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: neutralizes everything. It comes down to the little stuff, and 291 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: then that's where it was a huge, you know, advantage 292 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: for the Patriots to win. And then that's that's why 293 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are not a good football team right now. 294 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: They're just a kind of a above bridge team that 295 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: can hang in there with the good teams, but they 296 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: don't beat them. As if we didn't talk enough about coaching, 297 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: we're going to take a break. When we come back, 298 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about coaching because Jerry Jones had some 299 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: very interesting things to say last night after the game 300 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: about his coaches.

We're talking 335 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys lost yesterday. They lose thirteen nine to 336 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: New England Patriots, and they got a game coming up 337 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: quick here Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. They played the Buffalo Bills, 338 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: who were also nine and three, eight and three or 339 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: eight and three. So uh so, ay, is there's no 340 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: rest at this point? You gotta keep them rolling and 341 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys be back at practice this afternoon, I think 342 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: this evening or is it just going to be an 343 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: open mine? I think it's practices tomorrow and Wednesday. Okay, 344 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: so they'll do practice tomorrow and Wednesday and they'd be 345 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: ready to play by Thursday. We do have a seven 346 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: pm press conference with Jason Garrett, so we'll have Cowboys 347 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: going for you all day to day. Stay tuned. Guys 348 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: that are frustrated with Garrett for different reasons, so are we, 349 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: but maybe maybe no one cares about that. But all right, 350 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: so here we go. I want to talk about coaching 351 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: because coach Garrett or I'm sorry, Jason, I'm sorry Jerry 352 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: where yesterday, Jerry had some very interesting things to say 353 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: about his coaching staff, and I'm gonna read there were 354 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: three quotes I thought were very interesting. I'm gonna read 355 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: these quotes and I want to get reaction from you 356 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: guys on what it means for Jason Garrett and his staff. 357 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: I think that every aspect of special teams, when you 358 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: really look at it, have been problematic for us. There's 359 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 1: no question about that. To me, special teams is one 360 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: hundred percent coaching. It's one hundred percent coaching. It's strategy, 361 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,719 Speaker 1: it's having players ready. That's why today Belichick give them credit. 362 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: They did a great job on special teams and that 363 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: was really probably the determining difference. But special teams is 364 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: nothing but coaching. Final quote. I don't want to get 365 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: any into anything about coaching relative to changes or anything 366 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: like that, but I will tell you at special teams 367 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: is a total reflection of coaching. Do we see a 368 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: theme there? I love that. I don't want to get 369 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: into coaching. That's kind of like you know when your 370 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: spouse says, I don't really want to get in a 371 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: fight here, but whatever comes up to. But yeah, I 372 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: don't want to get into coaching. But this is a 373 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: reflection of coaching, right, I have been good. They need 374 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: to block a punt return a kick, those not just one. 375 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: I've been at ninety nine point nine percent of Jerry 376 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: Jones's postgame media sessions since I started covering this team, 377 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: and I have never heard him like that. He's typically hilled. 378 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 1: He's a glass half full kind of guy. He's not 379 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: interested in throwing people under the bus or you know. 380 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Jerry Jones always makes headlines when he talks, 381 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: but it's usually not scorched earth stuff like that. I counted, 382 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: I transcribe the whole thing he said some variation of 383 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: frustrated or disappointed fifteen times. Uh and and I mean 384 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: just shot across the bow at special teams in particular. 385 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: But to me, the whole coaching staff, I've never I've 386 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: never heard him be that pointed, even in the wake 387 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: of I mean, and he talks after basically every game, 388 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: some of them are really devastating losses. That was new, 389 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: and it to me, it was putting people on notice 390 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: that this isn't gonna cut it. You know what else? 391 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: It was And I only got to hear a little 392 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: bit of it, But you know how you say, he's 393 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: optimistic a lot of the times, even on these tough losses. 394 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: I felt like the frustration of those came out Sunday 395 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: because he basically said, yeah, don't expect to fix your 396 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: problems up here. You're not gonna be he said. He 397 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: also said that you're going to get out coached up here. 398 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: So he's basically his frustration about the Jets game, the 399 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: Vikings game, maybe the Saints game, that all kind of 400 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,239 Speaker 1: came to the forefront going, you shouldn't have had to 401 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: come to Foxboro and win this game to right the ship. 402 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: This thing should have been fixed before it here. I 403 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: actually he wrote about that last night, and you took 404 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: the words right out of my mouth. Is like, it's 405 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: weird to hear an NFL executive talk like that. Like 406 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: that's how we talk, you know, Like we said it 407 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: after the Jets game, like, well they put themselves behind 408 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: the eight ball now because the Patriots now, yeah, which 409 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 1: are still one. That's basically what Jerry said, is like, 410 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: you know, I'm paraphrasing, but he was like, you know, 411 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: if we handle business against the Jets and at least 412 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: like one or two of the Saints and Vikings and Packers. 413 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: We're sitting here at seven and four or eight and three, 414 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: and we're just like, yeah, it's hard to win up here, 415 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: and it's no big DAC team. It doesn't really matter 416 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, but unless your overall 417 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: record needs it, when it drops you to six and 418 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: five and compounds all the same problems we've been seeing, 419 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: I get why Jerry's frustrated. Well, you know, every week 420 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: when these guys talk, whether it's Jerry Jones or Jason 421 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: Garrett or any of the player including Dak, they're usually 422 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: pretty good at keeping everything very neutral and not really 423 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: showing their emotions or anything, keeping it very political correct, 424 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: you know. And this week I feel like everybody I 425 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: listened to you can tell by the way they answer things. 426 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: When you know this, when you're around long enough, you 427 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: get a feel of how they are and when the 428 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: way they answer things. And now I'm starting to get 429 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: a frustration from all of them in the way they answer, 430 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: including Jason Garrett. Some of the things, some of the 431 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: ways he answered last night, you can just tell that 432 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: he is frustrated. And I mean, I'm not saying that's 433 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: a nice thing to be, but to do but I 434 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: don't know. It's just it's good when you get to 435 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: see that from their end and it makes you feel like, Okay, 436 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: you're not that crazy after all, or they're not that 437 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: crazy and you feel like, Okay, we're on the same tune. 438 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: And at least Jerry Jones it's not blind as to 439 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: what is going on with the coaching and you know, 440 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,719 Speaker 1: so it's good to finally hear those kinds of things, 441 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: even though you're not happy about it. Yep, I think 442 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: there's from the top down. I think you get a vibe. 443 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: I mean, from Jerry Jones to the inactive players. I 444 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: think everybody knows that this team's better on paper than 445 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: what they've put on the field. And I'll be in 446 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: I mean, there's five games left that can neither galvanize 447 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: you to get it together and play better, or I 448 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: mean it could tear the team apart too. We have 449 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: not seen that under Jason Garrett. Ever, that would be 450 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: new territory. And you know, the interesting part of about 451 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: that to me is I wonder how much Jerry expressing 452 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: his frustration last night has players to where they're now 453 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: looking like we kind of with thinking that, but nobody 454 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: wants to say it right, you know, when when you 455 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: hear it now from the owner, then it becomes a 456 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: situation where it's like, well, you know, yeah, there'll probably 457 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: some decisions that could have been made differently. We're not 458 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: being put in the best position to succeed. And that's 459 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: when you start really having those problems. Where does the 460 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: coach Does he have a way to pull the team 461 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: back together and make sure they don't fracture at this 462 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: point because he's not and this is probably recognizably so, 463 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: because his staff is not putting their team in the 464 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: best position. I wonder how much voice these players actually 465 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: have when they go into meetings. Do they Are they 466 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: really voicing their opinions as to like how they're being 467 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: utilized on the field. I don't know, but i'd be 468 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: curious to know. I also think we I mean, yeah, 469 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: the coaching was was not good, but let's put some 470 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: of it on me. You gotta put some on the 471 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: players too. They didn't play very well. I mean that 472 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: talk about goats, catch it, I'm sorry, catch the ball, Jason, 473 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: When you catch it the ball, that's right, And that's 474 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: that's he does, right, You expect he's gonna catch the 475 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: ball because that's the greatest thing he brings to the type. 476 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm not just trying to single out him, 477 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of guys like that Tyrant Smith. 478 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: You can't get a false start penalty like that, push 479 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: the back five yards. Maha needs every yard you can get. 480 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: You can't do that that. That was a three point 481 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: penalty right there. So I mean there's I get frustration 482 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: with the coach because it's really easy to just start 483 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: here and then it trickles down. But these players that 484 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: are making a lot of money make make some plays. 485 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: They needed you to make more play. Some of these 486 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: guys on defense, some offensive linemen they needed Dak to 487 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 1: step up and make plays. So all around, it was 488 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: it was a frustrating day for the coaching and the 489 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: special teams. But these players that are going to be 490 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: voted to the Pro Bowl, they didn't play that well 491 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: either yesterday at times. I mean, there were some times 492 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: that they dropped the ball too literally, I agree with 493 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: you to a point, but again, I mean the conditions 494 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: made that game such a wash, I mean, and it 495 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: reminded me of the I mean, the last time they 496 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: really played in conditions like that twenty seventeen, you could point. 497 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean the defense and the special teams really made 498 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: the difference in that game. They had a pick six, 499 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: they had a block field goal that got returned to 500 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: the goal line. They needed plays like that. But at 501 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: the same time, you know, Zeke had thirty five carries 502 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 1: in that game because it's the only thing they could do. So, no, 503 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: they the offense didn't play well. They outgained the Patriots. 504 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's hard for me to say they 505 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: put them selves in position to win, but in conditions 506 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: like that, well you get what you Honestly, again, he 507 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: said it, it has to be defense and special teams 508 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: and games like that, and they were clearly outplayed on 509 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: defense and special teams, and that's where the difference was 510 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: in this game. Three straight games without a takeaway, and 511 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: I know what, the Cowboys were the last team in 512 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: the league to start on the opponent's side of the field. 513 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: They finally broke that streak, I think against the Giants. 514 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: But I mean, how many truly short fields has this 515 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: offense been given. It's a testament to how good they've 516 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: been most of the year, that they've been so good 517 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: despite that, I mean, they're driving the field every time, 518 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: and I hate to blame the defense. They gave up 519 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: thirteen points. I really feel like they did their job. 520 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: But in games like that, you've got to create short fields, 521 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: and it did not. Just so you have a frame 522 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: of referenced, the Cowboys average starting fil position was their 523 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: own twenty one average starting field position, for the Patriots 524 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: their own forty one, as twenty yards difference in their 525 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: star average starting field position. Two of their drives are 526 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: in Cowboys territory, one of them in the red zone exactly, 527 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: So I mean that's your difference in the game. Again, 528 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: a game like that, everybody was having, you know, drops 529 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: and misques. I mean, Edelman dropped a couple of passes, 530 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: So it happens in those kinds of situations. I just 531 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, you gotta be 532 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: able to overcome that. Specifically, we just special teams and 533 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: playing a film position game, and that's where coaching becomes 534 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: so important. We're gonna take our final break when we 535 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: come back. I do want to dive a little deeper 536 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: into some of the coaching decisions that were made in 537 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: that game and get some opinions from you guys on 538 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: how egregious they were. We'll talk about that when we 539 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: come back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio. Ready okay?

I'm sorry, let's go. Let's te right football. 580 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: It's like we buried the lead. It's forty minutes. No 581 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: one's talking about the fourth and seven. All right, let's 582 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: talk about that. Let's talk about some of these coaching decisions. 583 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: The first one that Nick obviously wants to talk about 584 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: is the fourth and well, I mean Cowboys. Cowboys make 585 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 1: the decision that they want to kick a field goal 586 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: on fourth and seven. They're in the fourth quarter. It 587 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: was six something left in the game, and they decided 588 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: they want to go for a field goal. Howard Gregious, 589 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: was that mistake? If you believe that it was a mistake, 590 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: Nick took the words right out of my mouth, So 591 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: you just go ahead and say it. I just I 592 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: believe that Jason said if it was more manageable, they 593 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: would have gone for it. That's their fault that it's 594 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: not manageable. I don't don't hate the fourth and seven 595 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: field goal. I hate the fact that they made it 596 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: fourth and seven. They didn't have to. It's a rainy, 597 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: wet game. They can't throw, they can't snap, they can't catch. 598 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: So how about we run the football, keep running in 599 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: on third down, on second down, and then maybe it's 600 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: fourth and two for it. Maybe it's first down, who knows, 601 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: it's a totally different situation. They decide that Dak wants 602 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: to run around and throw it to Blake Jarwin bet 603 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone. He doesn't have 604 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: the awareness to make that play. Jason Witten doesn't have 605 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: the ability to make sliding catches behind Gilmore. That's not 606 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: gonna happen. They didn't. They didn't do a good job 607 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: of setting that up. So that's all you know. And 608 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: I still would have gone for it on fourth and seven, 609 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: but it didn't have to be fourth and seven. The 610 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: whole series should have been predicated on the thought that 611 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: they were going to go for it on fourth down. Yes, 612 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: um yeah, Like I don't think they would have picked 613 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,959 Speaker 1: up a fourth and seven. So I can't kill them 614 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: for kicking the field goal, Like I don't want I 615 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: didn't want them to, but I think it's asinine to 616 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: think that they were going to pick up eight yards 617 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: after what we'd seen all day. But you don't have 618 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: to throw it to Blake Jarwin with two guys on 619 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: him in the back of the end zone. You could 620 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: scramble maybe, honestly, maybe pick up the first down six 621 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: yards at the very least and set up a fourth 622 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: and manageable. How about this. I love creativity, misdirection, all 623 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: that cool stuff. But they've tried the freaking They've tried 624 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: the option about five times this year and it never works. Ever, 625 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: it has not worked once. They did it against the 626 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: Jets on a fourth down, I believe, and it blew 627 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: up in their face. They've run it at least four 628 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: times this year, and I would bet a paycheck that 629 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: the longest it's gained is like three yards. So get 630 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: rid of that, please. But they all four of those 631 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: play calls should have been predicated on getting that first down, 632 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: because again, you talk about taking the pulse of your 633 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: team and something Brian always used to still does love 634 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: to say, knowing the situation. And I just think, and 635 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: to Jason Garrett's credit, it worked out. They got the 636 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: ball back, But you're again, you're I mean, they would 637 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: have had to have driven ninety five yards. Even if 638 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: a Mari makes that catch, they're still sixty yards away 639 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: from Payder with a minute something to play. It's doable. 640 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: But why not just go put yourself in this position 641 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: to win the game right there? It's a way better 642 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: chance you're gonna pick up twenty yards and score a 643 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: touchdown with three minutes to play. Give your defense a 644 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: chance to pin their ears back and go after Tom 645 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: Brady because he's gonna need to get down the field. 646 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: I like your odds of winning that way better. Then Okay, well, 647 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: if we force this three and out and play this perfectly, 648 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: then we'll have a chance to drive ninety yards to 649 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: score a touchdown. I don't buy that. Still don't hate 650 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: the decision to kick on fourth and seven because of 651 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: the way the offense has been playing, But all of 652 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: your decision making up to that point should have been 653 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: about four down territory. In my opinion, I still look 654 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: at it though, if you would have been fourth and seven, 655 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: even if they don't get the fourth and seven, I 656 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: look at it as you force you end up giving 657 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: them the ball there at the eleven yard line, So 658 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: most likely they're just at that point trying to solve 659 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: the game away. You probably get the ball back, you 660 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: probably still have an opportunity to do exactly what you 661 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: would have wanted to do anyway. So you're already down there. 662 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,239 Speaker 1: It's not likely you're going to drive all the way 663 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: back down there again take a shot, and again, I 664 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: think it goes back to what you were saying, Nick, 665 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: You have to be aware that you're going to do 666 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: that early on, and then you create two You call 667 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: two players that you think can get you a little closer, 668 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: one that can get you a little closer than seven yards, 669 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: and then a fourth and three, fourth and four you 670 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,239 Speaker 1: feel a little bit better about. So I do think 671 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: it's probably the decision, and that's where it starts getting 672 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: to these these conversations of analytics. I know there's been 673 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: a lot of conversation about that. Today. Jason was asked 674 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: about it, said that that's not something they really use 675 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: in that way. But when you think about it, you 676 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: know the Patriots they have analytics people who are talking 677 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: their coach throughout the game. The Baltimore Ravens analytics people 678 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: talking to the coaches throughout the game. It makes you 679 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,719 Speaker 1: wonder why the Cowboys wouldn't utilize that sort of technology. 680 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: That's sort of just you know, understanding the game in 681 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: a different way to give you the best opportunity to 682 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: win based upon math, based on the probability. Because their 683 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: head coach thinks that he is that guy because he 684 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: went to Princeton and all, I mean, maybe he thinks 685 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: he is that guy. I'm not saying I don't know this. 686 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not having lemonated with Jason Garrett about 687 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: stuff like that, so I don't know. But I'm just 688 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: saying it's hard. I mean, he's been around football forever. 689 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't know how those coaches think about a guy 690 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: sitting up their moneyball like telling them that this is 691 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: a good I don't know, and I don't even know 692 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: if that's a good way to do it. I don't 693 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: know if John on Hardball does it. In Baltimore says Okay, 694 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: I mean, well, the way I look at what I 695 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: look at is there's not a CEO in America that 696 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: doesn't have people that are giving him information and then 697 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: he ultimately makes a decision. Just because you get the 698 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: information doesn't mean you have to use it. So if 699 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 1: a coach gets the information from let's say a person 700 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: that knows the probabilities, and says, hey, based on the 701 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing in the game, here's the probability of 702 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: what you should do right here, Jason could still overrule 703 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: that and say, you know, my guts just telling me 704 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 1: to do something. Difference, head Coat, he has the ability 705 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: to do that. John Harbor The Athletic wrote about this 706 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: last week. John Harbaw's got a guy that's younger than 707 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: me giving him the win probabilities of every outcome of 708 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: every play throughout it. And did you hear what his 709 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: training was in? It wasn't just probability. Something he was 710 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: behavioral I think was behavioral sciences or something like that. 711 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 1: But the point was he's not just thinking about the probabilities. 712 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: He's also thinking about human behavior and how human behavior 713 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: factors into probability, which he also I mean, you know 714 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: we're going way back, but like week four or five, 715 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens played the Chiefs and they went for it 716 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: on fourth down like five times. They didn't get a 717 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: lot of them. They lost the game. Harbaugh talked about it. 718 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,959 Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, you know, we listen to those guys, 719 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: and a lot of it is my gut, but at 720 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: some point the numbers kind of tell you what the 721 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,479 Speaker 1: right course of action is. Right more than the fourth 722 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: and seven. To me, the worst play of the game 723 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: I think that affected the entire game was third and 724 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: one at the thirty five yard line at the two 725 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: minute warning. The team that is supposed to be a 726 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: run football team, that's physical. That's the only thing they're 727 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: really doing well. Third and one. They got to run 728 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: the football there. They don't do that. And then yeah, 729 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 1: they get the first down. That's great. But I guarantee you, 730 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: I don't care what the tripping call was. I guarantee 731 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: you that's not tripping. If you run the football, you're 732 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 1: setting yourself up for a situation. Now it's third and eleven. 733 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: I am looking at it now. That's not a trip. 734 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: That's not a trip. It might be an attempted trip, 735 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: but it wasn't a trip. Putting your knee up like that, 736 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: Dion Sanders did it for thirty years. Putting your knee 737 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: up like that is not a trip. It looks like 738 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: you might have thought about it, but that isn't a trip. 739 00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 1: You know what's funny is I said There's some people 740 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: on Twitter. They're like, we're really killing them for throwing, 741 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: when two weeks ago that's all we wanted them to do. 742 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, yeah, it was working. Throwing was 743 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: working against the Vikings in a dome. R running was 744 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: working against the Patriots outdoors. I guess you had to 745 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: be there to know how many. I think I see shrimp. 746 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 1: I think I see one down lineman on that play. 747 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: The Cowboy. I gave Kella Moore credit. During the game, 748 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: they ran a draw in a similar situation and picked 749 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: up five yards on a third and short. Zeke was 750 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: averaging four yards per carry. The run was really the 751 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: only thing they were doing with any consistency. They were 752 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: averaging four point two as a team. I think um 753 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 1: and the past worked. I get it, it was a 754 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: bad call, but I there's so many more moving parts, 755 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: and on a night, on a night when nobody could 756 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: hang onto the ball, I just I think I would 757 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: have run the ball. I will say this, I would Yeah, 758 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: I would have run the ball twice in that scenario 759 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 1: had it gotten to fourth and short. I will say 760 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 1: this about the tripping, and you and I we talked 761 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: about this a little bit off air a few minutes ago. 762 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 1: I heard, um, I think it was Rob A. Wreck 763 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: Ryan this morning on the air on NFL Network talking 764 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: about the far as ESPN talking about the fact that 765 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: that he had people that told him that essentially, the 766 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: tripping was something that Belichick had noticed throughout throughout his 767 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: preparation his film study on the Cowboys, and because of 768 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: that sent in some clips to the league, and so 769 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 1: the league then it tells their referees, Okay, here's something 770 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 1: that this coach is noticing. Be aware of it. And 771 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 1: that all makes sense to me because when you see 772 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: a clip like that and you see the tripping call, 773 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: you see right there, Travis Frederick's leg goes out. To me, 774 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: that looks like the referee saw the leg go out. 775 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 1: He didn't actually trip him, but he saw the leg 776 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: go out, and he's like, oh, yeah, that's what That's 777 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: what we've been talking about this week. Bam, here goes 778 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: to flag and a similar thing could have happened with 779 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 1: Tyren Smith. It didn't really look like a tripping call. 780 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 1: But if you're alerted to something and told, hey, this 781 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,919 Speaker 1: is something the Cowboys are doing regularly in these kinds 782 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: of situations, be aware of it same guy, then the 783 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: refs are gonna be looking for that particular call, right, Okay, 784 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: it's the same exact player for the Patriots. Yeah, I 785 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: see it in high Tower, the same guy. I mean, 786 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 1: he's the one that goes in here and here. On 787 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: this play with Tyrn Smith, he just goes down. I 788 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 1: mean that. But you see in both instances though, he 789 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: goes down and the leg is out there a little bit, 790 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: so it makes sense. But again that goes back to coaching. 791 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: Like when you see those kinds of things and you 792 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: can create these these things that the rest now have 793 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: to pay attention to, it creates an opportunity for you, 794 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: maybe to get these kinds of calls right in a 795 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: game that features like what how many games? How many 796 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: plays did they run in this game? Total? Like one 797 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty? Yeah, I hate even you know, even 798 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: take it all the way back to the NFC title 799 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: game last year, like everybody, you know the terrible call 800 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: the Saints should have had it. I get that game 801 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: went to overtime and Drew Brees through a terrible interception. 802 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 1: Nobody ever talks about that. Like I hate, I mean, 803 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: I hate zeroing in on one play and like acting 804 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: like that's the reason why you lose a game. Very 805 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,879 Speaker 1: similar to that situation, and I'm member the Saints Rams game. 806 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: The problem I had was was Peyton throwing the ball? 807 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,839 Speaker 1: I mean to me, it goes down to, Okay, well 808 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 1: you know your kid went into this yard and the 809 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: dog bit their hand, and like, oh why did the 810 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: dog bright? Well let's well back up, why are they 811 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: in the yard, Like, let's go. You don't have to 812 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: do that. You don't have to pass on third and 813 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,879 Speaker 1: one to set that up. The Patriots or the Saints 814 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: didn't have to pass down there early on to to 815 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: even let that thing happen. So I always kind of 816 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: take it back a player or two. I just think 817 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: third and one they should have run the ball. They 818 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: should have two plays to get a first down and 819 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: get this thing rolling, and they didn't, you know. And 820 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: then a Mari Cooper, we haven't talked about that. We 821 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 1: don't know why he got shut out, so um they 822 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: out went. We're kind of we're running short on time. 823 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: But I don't like, am I crazy? I just like 824 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: I have no beef with a Mari having the game 825 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: that he had. Honestly, I know, like you you're all 826 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: pros are supposed to step up. Yeah, you're crazy for that, Okay, 827 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: I think. I mean, but if we're gonna, if we're gonna, 828 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: if this guy's gonna be worth twenty million a year, like, 829 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 1: shouldn't he make a play? I mean, well, he was 830 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 1: in a situation where he wasn't getting targets. He can't 831 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: throw the ball himself though, or he can get targets, 832 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: he can get old. So are you saying he wasn't open, 833 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: because I don't know that that he wasn't open as 834 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: much as maybe you just didn't throw him the ball. 835 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he caught a pass that tyrant on the 836 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: on the tyrant holding, we don't have that one, but 837 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: the tyrant hold that that wiped out, he did have 838 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 1: a catch there, and he had a chance. He was 839 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: targeted here in fourth and eleven and would have been 840 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: a great catch. It would happen him. And that's a 841 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 1: tough catch to making those conditions. So I don't kill 842 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 1: him too much for that one. But but I need 843 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 1: my guy him to make it. I get it, but 844 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: I will I will tell you this too, and that 845 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 1: he was asked this question after the game, like don't 846 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: you think that do you get frustrated that um that 847 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: they don't scheme up ways to get you open, because 848 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: they I would assume they could. He was like, yeah, 849 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: you can get anybody like you can try to scheme 850 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: up whoever you want to scheme up to get opportunities. 851 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: He said, Now, in conditions like it was a day, 852 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: I'm not certain that would have been the best thing. 853 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they were running the ball effectively and again, 854 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: and this this is a friends. I think in a 855 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: game like this, you have to realize your game plan 856 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 1: is going to be don't mess it up on offense, 857 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: take advantage of opportunities, and you gotta be able to 858 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: play a clean game on your special teams in defense, 859 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: and you got to be able to hopefully create some 860 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: some bad take advantage of some bad situations for your 861 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 1: opponent in those situations to get yourself a short field. 862 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 1: It was exactly what the Patriots did in that kind 863 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 1: of game. You're not gonna move the ball a ton. 864 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: So I don't know that him getting more targets necessarily 865 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: makes that game any better, because I don't know the 866 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 1: quarterback was going to consistently be able to get it 867 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,439 Speaker 1: to him in a catchable way. I mean, that wasn't 868 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,760 Speaker 1: Dak's best game either, and probably because of the field conditions. 869 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, they just have 870 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: to they have to figure out how to win those 871 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: close games. And that's a lot more about all the 872 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 1: other things that go into a game than it is 873 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 1: about getting Amari Cooper more targets. In my opinion, I 874 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: think that's letting them off the hook. He's supposed to 875 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: be an All World player. He had two targets. He 876 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: didn't make a catch in the game. He got shadow 877 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 1: advices Gilmore, who had more catches than him in the game. 878 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: I think that's bad. I mean, I put some of 879 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: that on him. He's got to beat the best cornerback 880 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 1: in the game, especially when the conditions are what they are. 881 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: Imagine if you're a cornerback back pedaling trying to cover 882 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: this guy, you should have an advantage. And he I mean, 883 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: I need him to make more plays. In that game, 884 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,800 Speaker 1: they threw thirty three times. I'd like to think he 885 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 1: would be open some of that and be able to 886 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: make a play. I mean, Gallup was making some plays. 887 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: I get Gilmore is tough, but I mean, if if 888 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: Cooper is an elite receiver, like he's about to be paid. 889 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: He needs to make more plays in that game. This 890 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 1: is my take. I don't killing him for it, but 891 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna have great game against Buffalo and all. I 892 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: get it. But I'm just saying they needed all of 893 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 1: their playmakers to step up there and didn't happen enough. 894 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: Didn't happen enough yet not all right. We appreciate you, guys. Jonas. 895 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: We're back tomorrow. We're gonna start getting ready for this Baltimore. 896 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry for this Bills game. Dave. We're 897 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 1: gonna doing the baalt I mean, the Bills offense tomorrow 898 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: and then the Bill's defense on Wednesday till then for 899 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: Nick Even, Dave Helm and Amber Garcia.
