I'm sorry, we say with your 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:10.600 chest Monday. 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.760 Yeah, it was okay, So let me let me do this. 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:18.400 Reactions to another hometown beat down number three for this year, 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.919 oh and three at home. Guys, how are we feeling? First, 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.000 gut reactions, let's go gut reactions. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.079 Yes, is that this game was personal? Yeah, and I 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.799 think we had that feeling coming into it. None of 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.160 us at this table, regardless of what we felt like 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:33.760 the outcome was going to be. None of us, you know, 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.200 for those that chose Detroit Lions as the as the victors. 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.840 Prior to the game, I didn't foresee it going down 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.280 like that. Oh no, I didn't foresee it going down 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.280 like that. Did I foresee the Detroit Lions offense being dominant? Yes, 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.720 because they showed it on film, and what we've put 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.919 on film gave me no vote of confidence that we 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.440 were gonna be able to slow down there their onslaught. 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.680 When you talk about our offense versus their defense. Didn't 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.000 see that coming because what they have put on film 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.320 leading up to his game is their defense will suspect 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.400 talking about the twenty seventh ranked past defense in the league. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.560 You know, they've given up a good amount of touchdowns. 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.600 These guys give up yards on the ground. This defense 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.359 was not good statistically and personnel wise. We knew that 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.919 they were undisciplined. We knew that they are well coached, 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.679 but they just have these these personal I don't even know. 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.840 I don't yeah, I don't even even know if it's 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.519 a personal vendetta. They just they play selfishly defensively and 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.480 turns on the back half, not necessarily front seven. We 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.560 know the front seven was somewhat respectable. Aiden Hutchinson was 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.519 going to be a problem because he I don't I 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.480 mentioned in the pregame show, I didn't fear him, but 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.160 have a high regard and respect him because of his 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:42.560 his ridiculous, relentless effort. Right, He's just a relentless guy. 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.160 If you let up on him, he's gonna get a sack. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.760 I think the first sack he had against Terrence Steel, 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.720 Terrence Steell, you know, kind of got put on, slid 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.920 on a sled a little bit, but then he led 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.640 up like he like literally just let him go, and 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.200 that's how he got a sack. So he's a guy 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.360 that you can't let up on. Obviously, you know, prayers 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.240 up to him as they show a replay on the 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.200 screen as we watch, so prayers up to him and 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:05.520 his recovery. And that's going to be a long one. 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.560 I hate to see that by from anybody. But yeah, 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.720 they just dominated. It was it was domination. There's nothing 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.080 that could be said outside of the fact that they 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:18.400 dominated on offense, they dominated on defense. Their game plan 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.880 was substantially better on both sides, and they tried to 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.120 embarrass you and they were they were effective. 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.440 In doing that, successful, just very successful. 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.360 In doing that by running four plays. I think it 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.280 was for maybe five plays that were specifically designed to 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:37.920 go to lineman. That's disrespect. It's it's pure and blatant 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:44.279 disrespect as a forehead, as a forehand plant the foot, backhand. 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:47.960 It was definitely that. 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.360 I mean, they started the game with that first play 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:55.000 from scrimmage declared who dance skipper eligible? Mm hmm. The 0:04:55.120 --> 0:05:02.039 troll job was on from that moment forward. Yeah. Yeah, Cowboys. 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.320 Like I said, they got their asses kicked, they got 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.840 out played, they got out schemed out coach, they got 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.720 out everything. They got out physical, they got out executed, 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.800 all of the things that you could get out performed 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.679 in the Detroit Lions did that against the Dallas Cowboys 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.200 on yesterday. And I mean, you could go down the 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.480 line and I said, I wrote this in one of 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.760 the postgame articles. I said, you could throw a penny 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.120 in the huddle, and whoever that penny hits, it's probably 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:35.400 to blame for yesterday's humiliation right on both sides of 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:41.280 the ball. It's very very small amount of people that 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.560 I can pull out of that group and say, you 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.279 know what, you're safe. Brandon Oulvrey, You're safe. Cavante Turpin 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.200 you're safe. I even say Daimont Clark, you're safe. Stepped 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.080 up and he played and impacted the game in product 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.920 for the fastest. Absolutely. But outside of those three and 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.960 maybe one that I'm forgetting, I mean, that's forty four 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:04.040 players that are accountable, that the coaching staff is accountable 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:09.080 for what happened on yesterday. And it's just it's mind blowing. 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.159 I said this to you guys going into the game. 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.480 I said, one of the only reasons I was I 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.560 was picking the Cowboys was because I could not fathom 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:23.400 them dropping a fourth consecutive game at home based on 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.040 prior to the January you lost to the Green Bay Packers. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.920 This was the best home team in the entire NFL 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.920 for not one season, but two seasons. Yep. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:35.719 It was a thirteen game homestead and. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.240 Not only do you lose a fourth straight home game 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.760 that you yourself said before this game started, Dak Prescott, 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:48.000 Mike McCarthy, Seede Lamb, all these guys said, well, whatever 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.280 we do, we can't, we can't lose this game. It 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.960 wasn't even close. You got outclassed. You absolutely took the 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.840 Cowboys out back and beat them to within an inch 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.360 of their life, went back inside, got a refer reshment, 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:04.040 came back outside, and finished beating them until there was 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.560 no more life. The grit, the fight, the determination that 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.160 we saw in Pittsburgh, none of that made the flight 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:16.480 home to Arlington. None of that. Who the hell is 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.520 this team? Is this the team that goes on the 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.120 road and shows the grit the determination and they're three 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.480 and ozero now and you see what you have there. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.280 But then they come home and they let somebody just 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.960 walk into their living room and put their feet up 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.720 and put the mundy shoes up on the couch. 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:34.400 Respect. 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.920 Your just all out disrespect. And this bye week is 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:40.640 going to be telling for them as far as coming 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.040 out because irs you talked about it, and we talked 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.239 about it. This schedule doesn't turn down. No, this schedule 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.360 turns up even more after Detroit Lion. So you either 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.520 almost said a bad word. Sorry, Derek, you're listening. You 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.320 either get your stuff together right now coming out of 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.600 this by three and three, or you're going into Thanksgiving 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.640 and your season is pretty much going to be over. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.680 I think, at least with my gut reaction after this game, 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.760 and I said this before the panting button is smashed 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:16.480 for me now after let's just not to do blast 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:21.160 beats on it. It is just it is smashed because 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.000 that loss was not necessarily what it predicted I did. 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.240 I never predicted it was going to be like that. 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:27.840 It's terrible. 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:31.080 I thought your offense was gonna claw at a certain point. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.400 But in terms of like the biggest letdowns for me 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.360 of all of yesterday, you know your defense is up 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.600 against the wall. You know your defense is is just shattered. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.520 I mean there's no help really there. You're you're at 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.079 your wits end with the depth on defense. But for 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.280 your offense to come out and look the way it was. 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.560 You see the play calls and not getting your receivers open, 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.880 just not scheming correctly to get those receivers open. It's 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.079 not for lack of talent. You have Jake Ferguson. You 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:03.200 have Cdee Lamb, who, for all intent's purposes, played decently 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.960 but was also not on the same page with Dak. 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.400 And you see an offense just sort of sputtering down 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.679 the field and hoping for oh well, at least we're 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:13.719 in field goal range and we got best kicker in 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.719 the league, let's go for it. To me, uh, that 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.840 was the biggest letdown of last night. But for you guys, 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.920 what would you say is your biggest letdown from last night? 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.400 Would it be the offense with the defense? 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.000 It's both, it's both, and I think last night on 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.079 the on the post game show, on OT and on 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.199 Game Night, you know, I highlighted the defense and absolutely 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.920 just because of the fact that we haven't seen any 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.839 consistent body of work from this defense that is headed 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.880 up by Mike Zimmer. We just haven't. We've seen two 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:47.360 We've seen one showing that was Week one. Outside of that, 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.680 I guess a pretty bad team. Yeah, against a bad team. 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.760 You know, you beat the Giants, it's a bad team. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.120 You beat Pittsburgh, that's a team that you don't know 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.800 they're gonna make the playoffs. Middle but every team that 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.200 we know is gonna make the playoffs. Gave up four 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.000 nan thirty yards, more than seventy yards more in ninety yards. 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.520 It just feels like all of last year's problems are 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:10.040 now exacerbated they are this year. It's not being able 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:15.160 to beat good teams at home or away. You're getting 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.480 you're getting by. You're not even blowing out bad teams anymore. 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.760 And it just it feels like all of those problems 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.599 have been compounded and are just on a just have 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:25.599 a microscope under that. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.319 Well, it's a lot of things going wrong, and like 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.360 you said, they are exacerbated, and it feels like you 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.520 were looking for improvement in certain aspects like run defense 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.280 this year and things like that, and you were looking 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.960 for the offense to take another step forward. I mean, 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.480 it's year two in this offense and there should be 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:46.440 some comfort here, but you're still seeing disconnects between Dak 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.439 and Ceedee Lamb, even before Brandon Cooks with Now with 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.760 the injury, you're seeing issues with separation, not just with 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.480 Brandon Cooks, but with the wide receiver corps as a whole. 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.760 The running game it took four games to finally get going. 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.120 And then even before this game got well out of hand, 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.240 the running game was nothing to speak of. I said, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.280 I made a note to myself here. This was after 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.559 the first quarter. Into the first quarter. Here were the 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.280 rushing stats for the Cowboys. Zeke had four carries for 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.120 six yards. Rico had one carry for one yard. 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.960 After Rico's best game correct five rushing. 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.400 Ceedee Lamb had one carry for two yards, and that 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:31.439 was the totality of your first quarter rushing attempts and 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.640 as it goes, and some people will probably look at 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.560 the fourth quarter and say, well, Rico he got going. Okay, 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.199 well before he got going, so to speak, with the 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:44.319 garbage time, Rico had seven yards on three carries before 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.440 his twelve yard running the fourth and then they kind 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.640 of started feeding him heavily as the game started to 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.640 wear down and Cooper Rush was saying and then Cooper 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.960 Rush came in and he wanted to join the interception party, 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:55.920 and so he did join the interception party as well. 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.160 This goes again. If you want to go line items. 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.839 First of all, to answer to your question who was 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.920 most disappointing defense or offense, I'm the option to see 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:10.920 all of the above. The secondary no, just no, you failed. 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.319 And for a guy like Ao who had come in 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:19.120 having put solid stuff on tape that deep ball early 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.880 in the game right side. Don't know what your goal 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:26.920 was there, but clearly was not defense. Okay, secondary, no 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:32.120 linebackers outside of the mont Clark No, your defensive line 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.280 absolutely not flip it over to the offensive side of 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:40.559 the ball. Your offensive line got taken the school from 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.760 one player to another, and you can't. Cowboys fans, you 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.280 can't put this one on Tyler Gutton. You cannot. You 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.520 wanted to see Tyler Smith pop out the left tackle 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.319 and TJ Bass and then left guard. You got what 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.480 you wanted, now that being said, Tyler Smith, We've seen 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.640 him play much better than he played yesterday. We've seen 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.880 TJ Pass play much better than he played yesterday. We've 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.080 Zach Martin be Zach Martin. Zach Martin led the team 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:07.000 in pressures allowed with six yesterday. That looked like a 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.920 shell of Zach Martin yesterday. So that's a conversation. So 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:15.040 your offensive line f your quarterback was under duress. You 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:16.679 didn't do him any favorites. But you know what in 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.800 the moments when he was not under duress, f okay. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.360 And that goes to, you know, the miscommunications with CD. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.360 That also goes to just throws that weren't there receiving corps. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.040 CD had a mostly solid day outside of the disconnects. 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.920 But you need more, Jaylen Tobert did his best. Poor 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:39.160 guy the son hit him with a pass breakup? All right, Jalen, Sorry, bro, 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.800 he did what he could. Jake, you need to see 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.120 more from Jake. Jake was unable to get his yack 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.040 yards that you see he couldn't, you know, hit his 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:50.680 chimy and shake three. I think yeah. And also difficult ball. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.719 But that jump ball middle left gotta come down with that. 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.920 That's a critical play that that was missed. Jake wants 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.800 that ball back. That was one of the on a 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:03.040 day where Dak Prescott played poorly for basically sixty minutes 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.920 of football. Help him out. When you do get a 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.320 throw like that where it's catchable and it's a critical 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.400 play and the game is not out of reach it 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:12.400 you got to come down with that ball. And then 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.440 you saw what happened after that, the slant to turpend 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.120 and you could argue it was DPR whatever. It didn't work. Okay, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.520 that was a whip route. Yeah, done on game night. 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.280 So when you in the running backs room, I just 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.720 talked about that. So that that's a fail as well. 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:33.640 If you're not on special teams, you failed the Cowboys yesterday. Period. 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.440 I sam, yeah, I mean, there's there's not much to 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:38.840 be said. I mean, it just it was bad all 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.080 the way around. I don't want to beat them into 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:46.440 the ground. They know it's terrible. It was just bad, 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.240 you know, there's there's one aspect of this team that 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.600 you're confident in, and that's special teams. Absolutely, that's it. 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.040 That is literally it. You don't have You don't have 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.200 a defensive identity, that's it. You legit don't have a 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.160 defensive identity at all. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:02.720 Do you have an offensive identity? 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:07.560 You know who you are. They're just not there. They're 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:08.800 not showing up, you know what I mean? Like because 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.680 the only reason who are? We have the body work 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.440 from last year, same system, same players, right, so we 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.200 same plane caller, so we know what they're capable of. 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.400 But you're not seeing as the creativity. You're not seeing 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.840 the creativity from coach McCarthy in that regard. You're just 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.920 not from him and Shoddy. They early in the game 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.040 they started moving CD around and they got him the ball. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.479 After that it was slim pickens. Right. So the concepts, 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.320 these are very simplistic concepts, and they can work against 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.560 certain defenses. Right, But if you realize that these simplistic 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.600 concepts aren't working from these alignments and from these motions, 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:47.840 then you got to get in your bag. Early. I've 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.360 said this a couple of weeks ago. You got to 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.880 get in your bag earlier. Right now, Kella Moore, you 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.960 see empty the back too early? Right now? I feel 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:55.760 like Coach McCarthy's taking a little bit too slow. So 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.680 I know that he's capable, right because we've seen it. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.200 We've seen him get create, we've seen him as with personnel. 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.320 We've seen him you know, highlight guys. But I don't 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.200 know if it's because of who he has at his 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.440 disposal right now, or if he's just just kind of 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.000 being safe, or he's trying to build some confidence by 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.840 these guys by giving them very simplistic type of offense 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:21.000 to run. But this he's capable of more. I'll say 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.320 that coach, Coach McCarthy and Schottenheimer, they are capable of 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.120 more than what they are putting on film right now. 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:31.600 In terms of strategy defensively, I just don't know. I 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.480 really don't know. And I stand on the same statements, 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.520 the same sentiments that I had leading up when we 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.520 were looking for a defensive coordinator. I didn't necessarily have 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:42.880 a ton of faith in the in in that particular 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.880 higher right. I just respect it. I respect him as 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.960 an individual, respect his body of work. But this game 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:53.640 has evolved. This game has evolved and offenses are a 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.240 lot more complex than they ever have been. They're a 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.640 lot more creative than they ever have been. Like a 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.880 triple flip. Yeah, And if you guys remember one of 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.800 my biggest concerns about this particular hire coming into this building, 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.440 not to say that he can't be effective, but that 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.879 I was concerned about the effectiveness with the personnel that 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.520 he has at you know, at hand, do you have 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.800 the personnel that you need to run your type of scheme? 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.840 And my answer was no, you didn't have the money 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:23.800 to go acquire it, and you didn't have the time 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.040 to draft the guys to get all the guys you 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.480 need underneath your belt. And I think we're seeing that 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.560 show up. I really think we're seeing that show up. 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:35.159 And you're trying to fit what's the analogy a square 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.440 peg in a round hole around and outside of that. 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.800 Once you realize that that's not working, now you've got 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.600 to be creative. Now you have to change what your 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.000 initial game plan was. Okay, this isn't working for whatever, 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.200 for a number of reasons. Right, we got a ton 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.880 of injuries, Guys aren't being disciplined, Communication is not going well. 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.119 You know, the guys just aren't doing their whatever it is, 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:01.000 it's not going well. So now what Now what, You're 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.159 sixty games into it, Now what, you're a third of 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.520 the way through the season. Something has to change. Well, 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:08.600 you know, I'll tell you one thing that absolutely has 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.840 to change. And you make great points, Irs, So I'm 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:12.760 going to piggyback off of that. I'm going to put 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.720 it on the players. Okay, and this is not me 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.040 taking it off of Zimmer, but I'm also putting it 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.560 on the players because this this mustard spreads all over 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:26.120 the bread today. Okay, David Montgomery recorded ten mistackles yesterday, 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:32.360 ten on twelve carries. Are you kidding me? He does? 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.679 That is the highest mistackle person person ext gen. That's 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:39.240 the highest mistackle rate eighty three percent of any rusher 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:43.640 this season in the entire NFL who has started each game. 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.119 And I think that goes into Isaiah's point about just 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:47.640 this team not being very physical. 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:54.760 Twelve let that sink in crazy, twelve handoffs, ten missed tackles. 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.400 Do the math there? That is that is abysmo execution. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:03.680 So when you while we are rightfully wondering what's going 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:08.760 on with the adaptation of Zimmer's scheme in twenty twenty 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.040 four's version of the NFL. Let's also talk about the 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:16.240 continued lack of execution on this defense mistackles. Anybody who's 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.760 followed this team knows that. As much as penalties has 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.240 been have been kind of the crux of the issue 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:25.919 on offense, mistackles have been a problem for this Cowboys defense, 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:28.840 and not just under Zimbra, but in the DQ era 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.320 as well. At a certain point, we're also going to 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.400 point the finger at personnel on the roster and say, hey, 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:39.119 you know I discipline and gap integrity and assignment and 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:44.200 keys and just play your ball. And what I'm seeing 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.480 yesterday most certainly as the game started to kind of 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:51.119 snowball is guys. It felt like guys started to trust 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:53.159 the guy next to them a little bit less and 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.080 a little bit less with every chunk play that was made. 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:57.960 And when I say chunk plays or there were plenty 0:19:58.000 --> 0:19:59.800 of those, because I made a note here as well, 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.200 it's funny because I literally wrote this chunkier than homemade 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:07.680 peanut butter chunk plays. Seven rushes of at least ten 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.960 yards and six receptions of at least twenty yards before 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.080 the fourth quarter started. Yeah, the fourth quart they put off. 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:20.040 Oh yeah, they could have hung sixty easily on this team. 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:27.840 So defensively speaking, execution still a problem. Mistackles still a problem. 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.200 But you expected that in a way. You expected to 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.400 see that with as many holes as you had on defense. 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.200 The offense didn't help you out at all. 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.399 They did not. We're not we're not done with the offense. 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:42.760 I whole hardly expected the offense to just run the table. 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.240 I agree, and they could have. I agree. I said 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.720 it in the prediction. I said, I feel like this 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:51.320 offense is on its precipice right, and then they completely 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.920 fall off the cliff in the wrong direction completely. Dak 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:59.880 Prescott versus man coverage yesterday, he completed his first three 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:02.239 it is man coverage for thirty five yards, and then 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:06.240 he completed only two of the next fourteen, and that 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:10.040 included both of his interceptions against man coverage. He just 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:15.000 wasn't seeing it now. Pressure didn't help that. Everything fit everything, Yeah, 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:17.200 everything fed into the next thing, that fed into the 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:21.080 next thing. Right, You needed those compounding press. The defense 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:25.520 was wrecked injury wise. Okay, no excuses, because you went 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.520 in Pittsburgh and you won like that Chauncey and Tyrists 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:30.240 and Carl Lawston, Carl last and was brought to this 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:32.440 team to be that veteran presence in the event you 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:36.199 have an injury. Didn't provide it, right, These guys are 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:37.920 getting paid too, so you need to step up and 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:41.399 you need to play those roles. So I understand injuries happened, 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:44.400 and it's true, and it does downgrade the talent. However, 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.680 you still have a task, and the task for everybody 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:49.600 on this roster is to step up when the person 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:51.359 in front of you goes down due to injury. That 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.040 did not happen yesterday. But it wasn't just on the 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:56.320 backups who were asked to step up in the absence 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:59.639 of Kneeling and Tank and Micah and Deron. It was 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.280 all so some of the veterans, the veteran main stays 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:06.399 that you needed to just play high level football, and 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:09.879 they did not play high level football. So now you 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:12.080 come to the offense and you say, well, defense is 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:15.440 having a crap of a day. All right, offense, get 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:18.359 it going. We talked about it. Line's secondary. They can 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:21.200 be had, They can be had. Oh why aren't we 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:26.600 having them? Oh they're having you instead Okay, pressure, pressure 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:30.680 is making it harder on Dak Prescott. Okay, Dak need 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:31.919 you to be super man in this one, because your 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:34.560 offensive line is not going to save you. Nope, you're 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:36.640 not going to get any good throws from Deck when 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:38.440 he has the time to make the throws, let alone, 0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:40.879 he's under pressure. Okay, well, maybe we can stabilize this 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:43.600 with the running game before things get out of hand. Nope, no, 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.120 no answers, and it's like the receivers. Okay, ceedee lamb 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:52.120 miscommunications Jayalen Tobert again. I draw a circle around jayling 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:54.560 Toberd in a positive way because he really did play 0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:58.520 some ball yesterday. But you know, Jake drops that you 0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:00.199 can go down the line and you. 0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:03.680 Can't even before we go to break. You can't even 0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:05.600 blame the training camp. 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:08.760 Training camp doesn't last six weeks. 0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:09.440 It's not six weeks. 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:11.000 So if you were saying that's oh, if you were 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.640 saying in August September, oh, well that was a ceed 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:16.880 Lamps training camp.

Presented by Black Rifle Coffee. 0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:45.480 This segment is brought to you by Quaker Oats, the 0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:49.400 official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys. Quaker Oats, trusted 0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:51.280 since eighteen seventy seven. 0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:54.800 Got mine, zan Boys, I saw them, I needed them 0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:57.119 this morning. The Cowboys ate their oats. I needed a 0:25:57.200 --> 0:26:01.080 hearty meal. No today, clearly not their old yesterday. It's okay. 0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:04.680 Sometimes you got to get smacked in the face. Sometimes 0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:06.280 you got to get smacked in the face. But some 0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.960 the backslap is what did it. Sometimes getting smacked in 0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:12.040 the face is necessary to wake up. You know what 0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:13.840 I'm saying. We all, I mean, you know, Beamer comes 0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:15.560 in on the late flight. Sometimes you come in on 0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:18.719 late flights. Sometimes you need to somebody you wake up. 0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:21.440 You know what I'm saying. But the back You're okay 0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:24.000 with the with the run slap, but if somebody comes backhand, 0:26:24.359 --> 0:26:25.920 that's where the blatant disrespect comes. 0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:29.240 Here's the problem to your offensive lineman. And then the 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:30.040 problem is if. 0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:32.760 We were talking about oh, you just need to wake up, slap, Okay, 0:26:32.920 --> 0:26:36.000 maybe so, But if you're talking about home games, you've 0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:38.960 been slapped three times? Now? How many? Yeah, four in 0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:41.480 a row? How many slaps you need? Yeah? Home? I 0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:44.399 mean home is home? I mean yeah, you would love 0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:46.919 to say you would love to be able to say 0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:49.800 that you still have a great advantage at home. You don't, right, 0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:51.679 and there's right now. They don't. They don't have any 0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:53.480 they don't have the problem. 0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:56.000 My biggest pent is they were booing that Prescott. That's true. 0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:59.520 Yeah, that's and that sucks. Man, My biggest problem, and 0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:02.159 that's obviously going to continue to be a stand up 0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:04.280 guy and take blame for this entire team. This is 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.600 not all on him. This was just a terrible loss 0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:11.760 in general by everybody. This was a green Bay loss. 0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:13.840 This is what that was, right, This was a green 0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:19.760 Bay loss. That's because the offense showed up, came alive. 0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:26.479 Were my biggest my biggest issue. Right, we can talk 0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:28.040 all day long about all the things that were wrong 0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:32.000 about this game. My biggest issue is that you don't 0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:36.040 have an identity, and that to me is worrisome. That's 0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:39.480 worrisome to me because when when everything else is going 0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:42.520 to crap, because there's going to be those days, you're 0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:44.440 gonna have those days where you get blown out like 0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:46.800 this and you're not gonna like it and you're gonna 0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:48.560 try to put your finger on it and it's just 0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:50.720 too many holes to plug all that one time, right, 0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:52.600 So you go, you watch it, you address it, and 0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:54.400 then you say, all right, let's go have a better 0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:56.280 game plan for the next one, right, because we can't 0:27:56.280 --> 0:27:58.360 fix everything that we that we see, right, you just can't. 0:27:58.400 --> 0:28:00.560 You can't address at all. But we're gonna gonna highlight 0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:02.560 the major areas and we're gonna we're gonna hit those 0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:04.080 head on and deal with it, look at ourselves in 0:28:04.119 --> 0:28:08.040 the mirror, and push forward. But when all else fails, 0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:12.720 what do you lean back on, Like, what's your ethos? 0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:13.280 Right? 0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:17.119 What makes you yeah, what's your ethos? So, for instance, 0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:21.159 talk about Detroit Lions. If the Detroit Lions defense was 0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:24.600 trash and their offense was trash and especial teams couldn't 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:26.639 kick it through the dog on goal posts. What do 0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:28.359 you know that you're still gonna get out of them? 0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:32.320 They're gonna okay, they're gonna be physical, and they're gonna 0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:35.639 be relentless. That's that's a that's a culture, no matter what. 0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:39.880 That's a culture, right. That is the ethos of that team, right, 0:28:39.920 --> 0:28:42.120 and nex stems from you can say stems with Dan Campbell, 0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:43.840 whoever you want to say, but that's what you know 0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:46.480 you're gonna get no matter what the result of the 0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:49.160 field is, right. I don't know what that is for 0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:51.160 this team right now. And that's to that to me 0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:53.440 is worries and because that's something that you can always 0:28:53.560 --> 0:28:56.240 lean on and that may get you through in certain 0:28:56.280 --> 0:28:58.960 games when you when you perform like this, that may, right, 0:28:59.040 --> 0:29:01.080 but at least you know that you I'm leaning on that. 0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:05.960 And that's that's what's most terrifying about the outlook after 0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:08.280 a game like yesterday and after you know, looking at 0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:11.640 the totality of the first six games, is there is 0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:15.800 no ethos, right, and you have no identity And yesterday 0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:19.760 when you talk about having no posts, they were cadavers. Yesterday. 0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:23.000 They were just a cadaver body. Yeah, just empty shells 0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:25.080 of a body that were just getting beat up on, 0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:28.600 kicked on, spit on, etcetera, etcetera. And so to me, 0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:32.200 what's your identity, John Doe going into the BI week? 0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:34.280 You're John Doe. You're John Doe. You were just a 0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:36.959 cadaver with a tag on your toe, and nobody can 0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:40.960 identify who this body is because you're waiting for dental 0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:44.800 records to come back. I guess right, So until you identify, 0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:48.480 you know, are you going to start out physically people. 0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:50.280 We're not seeing enough of that to be like, okay, 0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:52.640 that's your ethos. Are you going to finesse people to 0:29:52.760 --> 0:29:55.040 death and you know, light up the scoreboard for forty 0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:57.120 points like you did last year and the year prior 0:29:57.200 --> 0:30:00.120 and in years prior. We're not seeing that either. Are 0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:01.600 you going to line up and punch them in the mouth. 0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:04.040 We're not seeing that either. We're seeing you're getting punched 0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:06.120 in the mouth rep after rep. And again you look 0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:09.520 at like the offensive line and just Terrence Steele had 0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.080 a bad game, and Tyler Smith had a bad game, 0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:14.200 and Zach Martin had a bad game, and TJ. Bass 0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:17.040 had a bad game, maybe Cooper BB had a bad game, 0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:18.760 and and then it just kind of goes from there. 0:30:20.000 --> 0:30:23.120 I love the word ethos. What what's your ethos? What 0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:24.440 is your identity? Right now? 0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:27.760 It is John Doe in my opinion, when you look 0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:29.720 at this game, when you even look at the wins, 0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:33.440 where's the identity there? When when you beat the Steelers, 0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:35.200 what would you say is the identity of that? 0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:42.120 That was grit? And that's what's most with I'm going 0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:43.840 to speak at that was a flash. I was going 0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:45.880 to speak as a parent, and you can relate to this, 0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:49.320 and all parents can relate to this, and even if 0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:52.480 you're obviously we're all children of someone, so you could 0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:54.280 probably relate to this, just as being a childis one. 0:30:56.360 --> 0:31:01.760 When is it more frustrating for or your child to fail? 0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:05.360 Or is it more frustrating for your child to fail 0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:09.080 after they've shown you how successful they can be. It's 0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:11.280 the ladder for me. The reason it's the latter is 0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:14.520 because now now that you've shown me, the expectation is here, 0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:17.840 So that means the effort in the execution and or 0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:20.600 the care the details, the details are lacking, and that 0:31:20.880 --> 0:31:26.480 is infinitely more infuriating from a parental standpoint, because it's 0:31:26.480 --> 0:31:29.920 just like, okay, it's one thing when you haven't shown 0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:31.960 me yet that you can do this. So it's like, okay, 0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.080 we're working our way up to this. Let's progress, let's 0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.840 work away. But you've seen your grace becomes longer and 0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:40.200 your patience becomes wider. But when you've seen that you 0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:43.080 can operate at this that they can operate at this level, 0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:45.720 and then they come down start operating here, no serve 0:31:45.880 --> 0:31:46.480 like what is this? 0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:47.440 This? 0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:50.280 This is not going to fly. So now, no grace, 0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:53.720 no patience, not for a loss like that. If they 0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:56.160 had at least put up a fight. You lose by three, 0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:59.160 you lose by six, you lose by seven. God that sucks. 0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:02.120 But this is a different conversation. After that, you walk 0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:05.280 in and you John Doe yourself through, you know, sixty 0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:11.520 minutes of football. Are you disappointed? Are you disappointed or frustrated? Yes? 0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:14.200 I'm disappointed, disappointed because. 0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:17.200 The expectations, like I just said, are not being met. 0:32:17.560 --> 0:32:22.000 Frustrated because they can be met, but the things that 0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:24.640 need to be fixed are simply not being fixed. That's 0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:26.600 why we're sitting here slapping the panic. But ken the 0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:30.400 coach has fixed us. I think it has to start 0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:32.920 with players fixing it. Okay, I think it has to 0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:35.360 start with players fisking it. That's why I look at 0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:40.120 what part are you referring to exactly? Because I mean both. Obviously, 0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:45.120 everybody's taking it's everything where it's it's a machine. Everything works, 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:49.720 and you know, in conjunction with the next thing, that 0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:51.600 works with the next thing. But when I say it 0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:53.480 has to start with players, it has to start with 0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:56.640 number one and the look in the mirror thing, I'm 0:32:56.720 --> 0:33:00.000 right there with that. I think every all fifty three 0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:03.080 have to need it to go home last night first 0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:06.480 and foremost and just sit with this, sit with it, 0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:09.960 Just sit with it, and don't don't run. And I'm 0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:11.840 not saying they are, but this is just me saying 0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:14.760 what I would. Don't don't run from the film because 0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.440 when you watch that film, your jersey number is probably 0:33:17.480 --> 0:33:19.680 gonna look real bad on that film. Don't run from it. 0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:24.920 Eat that, feel that, and then take accountability forward. Now, 0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:27.960 once you take your individual accountability, look to the left 0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:31.280 and to the right and make sure that those two 0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:35.040 individuals are taking that equal amount of accountability right, and 0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:37.440 then from there you get out on that practice field 0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:39.000 and you play like it's your last rep that you 0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:42.680 will ever play. Okay, and then from there, now you 0:33:42.920 --> 0:33:45.440 put the coaches into it and say, okay, what adaptations 0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:49.040 can we make schematically, offensively, defensively things like that. But 0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:55.200 doesn't matter what adaptations come offensively for Mike McCarthy defensively 0:33:55.280 --> 0:33:59.720 for Mike Zimmer if each individual player doesn't get their 0:33:59.720 --> 0:34:02.240 act together. And that's what I mean, and this is 0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:04.320 something Mike could talked about when he said, guys playing 0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:07.920 trying to be Superman, it's the same premise, right, do 0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:10.759 your job, I'll do my job. Do your job each 0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:13.800 at the highest level, and then the risk will start 0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:16.640 to fix itself. And even if the adaptations don't come 0:34:16.719 --> 0:34:21.400 offensively defensively, now we're playing good ball that keeps us 0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:23.960 in football games. And then the thing that needs to 0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:28.040 be fixed is more easily fixed as far as scheming. Right, 0:34:28.239 --> 0:34:30.360 not to say that it's easy, but it's easier to 0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:33.520 fix scheming than it is to make a player play 0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:37.240 up to his potential when he is down on himself 0:34:37.360 --> 0:34:40.920 or he doesn't feel that he can. It starts internally, right, 0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:44.200 So you fix the small to solve. 0:34:44.000 --> 0:34:46.560 The big, So you already answered my question for the 0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:49.799 most part, Isaiah, when they're talking about looking in the mirror, 0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:52.040 and everyone sort of had the same sentiment. They said, 0:34:52.239 --> 0:34:55.080 they said the same the same thing basically in their 0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:57.280 press conference is after the game or their their interviews 0:34:57.280 --> 0:34:58.640 after the game. It's like, you have to look at 0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:01.320 the man in the mirror. What is the man of 0:35:01.360 --> 0:35:02.720 the mirror telling you after a game. 0:35:02.680 --> 0:35:04.600 Like this that you gotta punch in the mouth. 0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:08.480 And I mean, and to answer your own question, is 0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:09.600 it players or is it coaches? 0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:12.839 And what it's both? It's both. I think it starts 0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:15.360 with the coaches. Personally, I think it starts with the 0:35:15.440 --> 0:35:20.160 coaches because the coaches pull the strings the players execute. 0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:23.239 The coaches put you in position to be successful. The 0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:26.360 players use that positioning to go out there and highlight 0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:28.840 their abilities and make plays. That's the reality. You have 0:35:28.920 --> 0:35:30.840 to be put in position. It's the reason why some 0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:33.279 players flourish in some systems and they don't flourish in 0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:36.080 other systems. It's all about how you're being utilized. So 0:35:36.840 --> 0:35:38.960 I think it starts with the coaches because coach McCarthy 0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:41.000 has to reel this thing in and help these guys 0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:43.560 see the big picture and say, hey, we're three and three, 0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:46.680 and yeah, the losses we've had have been trash, right, 0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:49.160 but we're three and three one game. Yeah, so like 0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:52.920 as bad as it feels right now, like let's etch 0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:55.239 and sketch this thing. Yeah, let's let's watch this film. 0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:57.080 We're gonna come in, We're gonna watch the crap out 0:35:57.120 --> 0:35:59.120 of this film, and it's gonna suck and everybody's gonna 0:35:59.120 --> 0:36:01.040 get graded. Don't know if you know this, but you 0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:03.000 sit down in your meeting rooms and they coach hands 0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:05.080 you a whole little stack of papers, and in that 0:36:05.160 --> 0:36:07.560 sack of papers, it has every single play call and 0:36:07.719 --> 0:36:09.440 at the top of the play, at the top of 0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:11.759 that sheet, it has a grade and it's circled and 0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:14.400 in every every play is a plus or minus. And 0:36:14.520 --> 0:36:17.799 they your coach, your position coach, grades every single person 0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:19.840 that touches that field. And you look at that, and 0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:22.359 you guys talk through every single play and you watch 0:36:22.480 --> 0:36:25.160 every play intently, like what did we do what we 0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:27.320 were supposed to do? Then I execute what could I 0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:29.439 have done better? Okay, next play, and you go through 0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:32.759 every single play. You do that as a unit, and 0:36:32.800 --> 0:36:34.759 then I don't even know it individually. How many times 0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:36.520 you do that it depends on on your on your 0:36:36.560 --> 0:36:38.440 work ethic and how much you value the film. But 0:36:38.800 --> 0:36:40.840 and you that's looking in the mirror. I have to 0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:42.880 see it. Yeah, you have to. You have to see it. 0:36:42.920 --> 0:36:45.280 You have to have to acknowledge what the heck. 0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:47.320 I did now, Acknowledge your reflection, acknowledge it. 0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:49.080 I don't want to see it. It's like, I don't 0:36:49.080 --> 0:36:50.759 know if everybody's ever done a body scan. Okay, in 0:36:50.800 --> 0:36:52.680 my facility, we have a three D a three D 0:36:52.800 --> 0:36:55.040 body scan, and most people it's a great tool if 0:36:55.080 --> 0:36:57.520 you utilize it right, because you can see exactly where 0:36:57.560 --> 0:37:00.320 you're gaining, where you're losing muscle, you know, fat or 0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:02.239 whatever it may be. But most people don't want to 0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:05.480 see it. People are what they are physically at that 0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:08.920 point in time. But something about facing the music. I 0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:11.160 don't want to look at it, right. I know, I know, 0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:13.000 I know, I know I need to lose something here, 0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:18.040 but I just don't want to look at it. That's 0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:21.280 what this is. Right, you have to see it because 0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:23.120 if I don't see it, I can't how can I 0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:27.720 address it? Right? So take it. Take the It's nasty 0:37:27.760 --> 0:37:29.359 as it tastes bad. It's gonna stand in your tongue 0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:30.000 for a little bit tea. 0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:30.520 It is. 0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:32.840 It's awful, right, but you need it. It's that Tousso 0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:36.239 it is that tuessom. You gotta take it. And then 0:37:36.960 --> 0:37:39.399 it's up to the coach and say, okay, cool, put 0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:42.040 this away, put this game away. We're not looking at 0:37:42.040 --> 0:37:44.080 this game no more. Right. But what we are gonna 0:37:44.120 --> 0:37:45.719 do is we're gonna do everything that we can in 0:37:45.800 --> 0:37:48.480 our power as a coaching staff to put together the 0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:51.879 best strategic game plan ever for the San Francisco forty 0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:54.560 nine ers. That's what we're gonna do. That's our promise 0:37:54.600 --> 0:37:56.560 to you. We're gonna we're gonna go back and we're 0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:58.960 gonna dissect everything that they're doing, and we're gonna use 0:37:59.000 --> 0:38:01.640 all these days the scouting departments already been looking, they've 0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:03.920 already been breaking down at the analytics of what the 0:38:03.920 --> 0:38:06.000 San Francisco forty nine ers are doing. We're gonna take 0:38:06.040 --> 0:38:08.920 that information. We're gonna rewatch our first six games and say, 0:38:09.239 --> 0:38:11.600 what the heck are they seeing that they're jumping a 0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:13.480 gun on us that we need to change up because 0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:17.000 they're they're they're they're olaying us right now, right offensively, 0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:19.919 Our concepts are being are being picked out. They see 0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:22.040 exactly what we're doing. We are. You have to look 0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:23.800 at it and say, from this formation, we run this 0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:26.279 same concept, even though we might be running a different way, 0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:28.279 they're still picking it up. Right, So what do I 0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:30.439 need to change? Right? What do I need to change 0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:32.880 about that? It's self is self scouting, right, That's why 0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:34.920 there's a whole scouting department that helps with that. You 0:38:35.000 --> 0:38:36.759 look at those things and you make the change. Boom. 0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:38.320 All right, now we're changing things that we're gonna do 0:38:38.400 --> 0:38:40.160 more twelve personnel. We're gonna do more of this. We're 0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:41.920 gonna run the same concess but I'm gonna run it 0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:43.480 out of a shift and then we're gonna motion and 0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:46.160 then defensively, guess what screw it? I know I typically 0:38:46.239 --> 0:38:48.399 run this, but now we're changing it up. We're gonna 0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:51.880 let me go back to last year? What what DQ do? 0:38:52.120 --> 0:38:54.160 All right? All right, that's not necessarily how what I 0:38:54.239 --> 0:38:56.600 believe in, But maybe lesten incorporate some of those things, 0:38:56.640 --> 0:38:58.359 because that's how you guys play. Y'all like to play 0:38:58.400 --> 0:39:00.440 fast and physical cool. I'm gonna put you in position 0:39:00.480 --> 0:39:01.920 to play more man to man. But if I put 0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:03.120 you in position to play a man to man, you 0:39:03.200 --> 0:39:04.960 better not get beat. Is if you get beat, I'm 0:39:04.960 --> 0:39:08.160 taking you out. So that accountability, those type of conversations 0:39:08.320 --> 0:39:11.320 have to be had, those man to man conversations because 0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:14.040 it's a room full of men. It's a room full 0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:17.640 of men. Professional professional, absolutely, and just because you're a 0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:20.160 professional doesn't mean that you act as a professional. So 0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:23.440 you need the leadership, right i e. The wisdom the 0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:25.840 coaching staff that they have put together that has a 0:39:25.960 --> 0:39:28.680 ton of wisdom over there, a ton to write the ship, 0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:30.880 to write the ship both from the players standpoint, former 0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:33.680 players that are now coaches and successful coaches that have 0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:35.680 been all the way in one Super bowls. You need 0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:39.120 that wisdom to show these guys the way. And once 0:39:39.160 --> 0:39:41.360 they get that and everybody can come to the table 0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:44.040 and say, hey, I'm own my own mess. Let's go 0:39:44.120 --> 0:39:45.719 out there now and it's going to attack the back 0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.040 half of the season. One part about looking in the 0:39:48.080 --> 0:39:49.719 mirror is you got to first make sure the mirror 0:39:49.760 --> 0:39:52.200 is clean and not fractured, because it kind of goes 0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:54.400 to the psychology of what IRIS is saying, as far 0:39:54.440 --> 0:39:56.320 as the body scan is concerned. Right, So, if you 0:39:56.360 --> 0:39:58.839 stand in front of the mirror but you're your view 0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:01.960 is skewed what you don't want the mirror to tell you, 0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:05.120 then you're not really looking at the reflection the right way. Okay, 0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:07.200 if the mirror has its cracks and it needs to 0:40:07.239 --> 0:40:08.799 be clean, you got a vinegar to that thing down, 0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:10.600 then you can't really trust what you're looking back. You 0:40:10.719 --> 0:40:13.320 have to go in to that mirror, in front of 0:40:13.360 --> 0:40:17.160 that mirror with complete openness and willingness to say, this 0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:19.719 is probably going to be the ugliest thing that looks 0:40:19.760 --> 0:40:22.359 back at me, but the only way I can fix 0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:24.640 it is to see it for exactly what it is. 0:40:24.800 --> 0:40:25.239 You can't clean. 0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:27.600 So yeah, long story short, don't stand in front of 0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:30.880 the year, don't stand in front of the mirror and 0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:32.000 lot to yourself. 0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:33.480 Yeah no, absolutely not all right, boys, we need to 0:40:33.520 --> 0:40:35.400 take our final break when we come back. Do we 0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:38.360 have enough time to get this thing the ship right it? 0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:40.120 Do we have enough time here in the bier week 0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:42.840 to change what the cowboys are doing at this point? 0:40:43.200 --> 0:40:43.560 Boys? 0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:45.360 Right back after this. 0:40:45.400 --> 0:40:48.759 Break, Todd thought it would be secure to jog in 0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:51.440 the cheat of Savannah.

No, it's not that kind of party. 0:43:36.480 --> 0:43:37.880 Uh not in that kind of mood. We're not in 0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:38.799 anime mood, guys. 0:43:39.320 --> 0:43:41.480 We're in a what depends on what anime your doug. 0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:42.320 We're bersark. 0:43:42.360 --> 0:43:43.440 We're working from there. 0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:46.440 From there we go, you know that reference? 0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:46.640 Right? 0:43:47.040 --> 0:43:49.879 All right, moving on, I'm trying not to go full 0:43:49.880 --> 0:43:50.320 of Griffith. 0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:52.320 All right, guys, it's the bye week. Do we have 0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:54.200 time to get it right, and we need to be 0:43:54.400 --> 0:43:55.920 kind of quick on this one. But do we have 0:43:56.040 --> 0:43:57.919 enough time to to write the ship? 0:43:58.160 --> 0:44:02.640 Yes? You you got eleven games, so just speaking on 0:44:02.800 --> 0:44:05.360 time timeline wise, you got eleven games to write it. 0:44:05.560 --> 0:44:07.960 Will they don't know, have no clue. If they continue 0:44:07.960 --> 0:44:10.520 to play like they did yesterday, this season is going 0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:13.759 to be over before calendar flips to December first. But 0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:17.480 generally speaking, yeah, you got time. Your six games into 0:44:17.520 --> 0:44:18.840 a seventeen game regular season. 0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:21.520 If you drop one more l if you drop this 0:44:21.719 --> 0:44:23.640 next game, is there enough time? 0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:25.759 Well, we already hit the panic button, so if you 0:44:25.840 --> 0:44:28.560 drop this next game, then you're gonna start spiraling. And 0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:30.879 then I mean again, the time is the time. Right 0:44:31.040 --> 0:44:33.840 time is not subjective. You either have the time or 0:44:33.880 --> 0:44:35.839 you don't have the time. They do have the time, 0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:37.719 because it's eleven games, and then it's ten games, and 0:44:37.800 --> 0:44:39.839 it's nine games. But you asked me this question again 0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:44.279 in you know, mid November, when you're literally halfway through 0:44:44.320 --> 0:44:47.440 the season, and if if they have a losing record, 0:44:47.480 --> 0:44:49.360 I'll probably say no, you don't have enough time to 0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:51.400 get that back, especially depending on what happens with the 0:44:51.440 --> 0:44:53.480 Eagles and if the Commanders get back on their streak 0:44:53.520 --> 0:44:55.879 and you know, things like that. But as we talk 0:44:56.000 --> 0:44:59.479 right now, as much as this sucks, and it does suck, 0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:02.120 you still got a living games to figure it out. 0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:06.239 We're speaking in regards of this week, right. 0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:09.319 Yeah, there enough is there? Enough turnaround right now? For now? 0:45:10.200 --> 0:45:12.160 That's I liked the bigger picture. 0:45:12.239 --> 0:45:12.839 No, No, that's good. 0:45:12.880 --> 0:45:15.600 I like the bigger picture. What is your interpretation? 0:45:15.760 --> 0:45:17.719 There's enough. There's enough time this week to have some 0:45:17.960 --> 0:45:21.080 some heart to heart conversations. Then that's both from the 0:45:21.320 --> 0:45:25.240 from leadership right to the coaches. That's from the coaches 0:45:25.800 --> 0:45:28.040 down to the players, and the players need to have 0:45:28.120 --> 0:45:31.239 meetings amongst themselves. Yes, because as we sit here and 0:45:31.280 --> 0:45:34.360 talk about the whole identity thing, trust me, that conversation 0:45:34.440 --> 0:45:37.120 is being had. It's not just people on the outside. 0:45:37.120 --> 0:45:39.520 It's not just the media that conversations happening in the 0:45:39.560 --> 0:45:41.080 locker room as well. I've been on I've been on 0:45:41.239 --> 0:45:43.680 those teams, right, I've been on those teams, and those 0:45:43.719 --> 0:45:46.279 conversations happen. It's like somebody, we're having to come to 0:45:46.360 --> 0:45:49.200 Jesus moment, right he coaches, Can y'all go, Can y'all 0:45:49.239 --> 0:45:51.880 go out there for a minute? We needed. We need 0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:53.440 to meet real quick brothers. Right. 0:45:53.520 --> 0:45:53.560 So. 0:45:53.600 --> 0:45:54.920 I don't know who it is in that room that 0:45:55.040 --> 0:45:57.680 has that, that's that sparks that, but somebody in that 0:45:57.840 --> 0:46:01.120 room needs to say, Hey, whatever y'all have planned this 0:46:01.239 --> 0:46:04.400 week in terms of for your bye week, tell your 0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:08.600 wife sorry, to your girlfriends, sorry, tell you whoever sorry. 0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:11.000 We got work to do right, We have work to 0:46:11.040 --> 0:46:13.600 do right. I know we're supposed to be gone from 0:46:13.640 --> 0:46:15.880 Friday to Sunday, and you know, like we're working all 0:46:15.880 --> 0:46:20.640 the way. Didn't earn that? Hey, listen, do you but 0:46:20.840 --> 0:46:23.000 understand what we're going to be doing the rest of 0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:24.359 us that are trying to make sure that we get 0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:26.160 this sting on track. We have to sit here at 0:46:26.200 --> 0:46:27.759 this thing locked and it sucks. I know I wanted 0:46:27.800 --> 0:46:31.000 to go somewhere too. This is more important. This is 0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:34.400 more important. So that conversation has to be had amongst 0:46:34.400 --> 0:46:36.880 the players. The coaches are going to have those conversations 0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:38.960 amongst each other, because everybody has to look at each other. 0:46:39.000 --> 0:46:41.920 Everybody's gonna say, I'm not doing good enough, right, be 0:46:42.040 --> 0:46:43.359 real with me. Tell me if we if I sit 0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:44.719 up here and I suck, I would hope that in 0:46:44.800 --> 0:46:47.160 the break y'all would tell me that was trash, you 0:46:47.200 --> 0:46:48.719 know what I mean, Like like you have to have 0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:50.160 that account of Bill. You have to have that type 0:46:50.160 --> 0:46:52.719 of relationship where you can have those real conversations. And 0:46:52.800 --> 0:46:55.239 when you can have those real conversations, now we can 0:46:55.320 --> 0:46:57.279 have growth. Yeah, now we can have growth. 0:46:57.400 --> 0:46:58.520 You're taking the criticism right. 0:46:59.000 --> 0:47:01.000 You got to earn time off, just like you want 0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:03.440 that that slice the cake get in the gym.
