Speaker 5: You can't seriously, he's looking in the mirror right now. Anyways, boys,
Speaker 5: it's a terrible loss, forty seven to nine, a terrible, terrible,
Speaker 5: terrible home stand against the Detroit Lions, who had a
Speaker 5: bone to pick. It was a grudge match for all
Speaker 5: intents and purposes. First off, let me say happy Happy
Speaker 5: Indigenous People's Day. We want to shout that out real quick,
Speaker 5: absolutely on a Monday, October fourteen.
Speaker 1: Considering I have Indigenous blood into so shouts to that
Speaker 1: creak Indian South Georgia. Yeah, yeah, you see that. And

Speaker 5: victory loss Monday.
Speaker 1: You you won if your goal is to get your
Speaker 1: ass kick.
Speaker 5: In that case, we did really well yesterday.
Speaker 1: Off the top rope. I'm sorry, we say with your
Speaker 1: chest Monday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was okay, So let me let me do this.
Speaker 5: Reactions to another hometown beat down number three for this year,
Speaker 5: oh and three at home. Guys, how are we feeling? First,
Speaker 5: gut reactions, let's go gut reactions.
Speaker 1: Yes, is that this game was personal? Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think we had that feeling coming into it. None of
Speaker 1: us at this table, regardless of what we felt like
Speaker 1: the outcome was going to be. None of us, you know,
Speaker 1: for those that chose Detroit Lions as the as the victors.
Speaker 1: Prior to the game, I didn't foresee it going down
Speaker 1: like that. Oh no, I didn't foresee it going down
Speaker 1: like that. Did I foresee the Detroit Lions offense being dominant? Yes,
Speaker 1: because they showed it on film, and what we've put
Speaker 1: on film gave me no vote of confidence that we
Speaker 1: were gonna be able to slow down there their onslaught.
Speaker 1: When you talk about our offense versus their defense. Didn't
Speaker 1: see that coming because what they have put on film
Speaker 1: leading up to his game is their defense will suspect
Speaker 1: talking about the twenty seventh ranked past defense in the league.
Speaker 1: You know, they've given up a good amount of touchdowns.
Speaker 1: These guys give up yards on the ground. This defense
Speaker 1: was not good statistically and personnel wise. We knew that
Speaker 1: they were undisciplined. We knew that they are well coached,
Speaker 1: but they just have these these personal I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I don't yeah, I don't even even know if it's
Speaker 1: a personal vendetta. They just they play selfishly defensively and
Speaker 1: turns on the back half, not necessarily front seven. We
Speaker 1: know the front seven was somewhat respectable. Aiden Hutchinson was
Speaker 1: going to be a problem because he I don't I
Speaker 1: mentioned in the pregame show, I didn't fear him, but
Speaker 1: have a high regard and respect him because of his
Speaker 1: his ridiculous, relentless effort. Right, He's just a relentless guy.
Speaker 1: If you let up on him, he's gonna get a sack.
Speaker 1: I think the first sack he had against Terrence Steel,
Speaker 1: Terrence Steell, you know, kind of got put on, slid
Speaker 1: on a sled a little bit, but then he led
Speaker 1: up like he like literally just let him go, and
Speaker 1: that's how he got a sack. So he's a guy
Speaker 1: that you can't let up on. Obviously, you know, prayers
Speaker 1: up to him as they show a replay on the
Speaker 1: screen as we watch, so prayers up to him and
Speaker 1: his recovery. And that's going to be a long one.
Speaker 1: I hate to see that by from anybody. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they just dominated. It was it was domination. There's nothing
Speaker 1: that could be said outside of the fact that they
Speaker 1: dominated on offense, they dominated on defense. Their game plan
Speaker 1: was substantially better on both sides, and they tried to
Speaker 1: embarrass you and they were they were effective.
Speaker 5: In doing that, successful, just very successful.
Speaker 1: In doing that by running four plays. I think it
Speaker 1: was for maybe five plays that were specifically designed to
Speaker 1: go to lineman. That's disrespect. It's it's pure and blatant
Speaker 1: disrespect as a forehead, as a forehand plant the foot, backhand.
Speaker 5: It was definitely that.
Speaker 1: I mean, they started the game with that first play
Speaker 1: from scrimmage declared who dance skipper eligible? Mm hmm. The
Speaker 1: troll job was on from that moment forward. Yeah. Yeah, Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Like I said, they got their asses kicked, they got
Speaker 1: out played, they got out schemed out coach, they got
Speaker 1: out everything. They got out physical, they got out executed,
Speaker 1: all of the things that you could get out performed
Speaker 1: in the Detroit Lions did that against the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: on yesterday. And I mean, you could go down the
Speaker 1: line and I said, I wrote this in one of
Speaker 1: the postgame articles. I said, you could throw a penny
Speaker 1: in the huddle, and whoever that penny hits, it's probably
Speaker 1: to blame for yesterday's humiliation right on both sides of
Speaker 1: the ball. It's very very small amount of people that
Speaker 1: I can pull out of that group and say, you
Speaker 1: know what, you're safe. Brandon Oulvrey, You're safe. Cavante Turpin
Speaker 1: you're safe. I even say Daimont Clark, you're safe. Stepped
Speaker 1: up and he played and impacted the game in product
Speaker 1: for the fastest. Absolutely. But outside of those three and
Speaker 1: maybe one that I'm forgetting, I mean, that's forty four
Speaker 1: players that are accountable, that the coaching staff is accountable
Speaker 1: for what happened on yesterday. And it's just it's mind blowing.
Speaker 1: I said this to you guys going into the game.
Speaker 1: I said, one of the only reasons I was I
Speaker 1: was picking the Cowboys was because I could not fathom
Speaker 1: them dropping a fourth consecutive game at home based on
Speaker 1: prior to the January you lost to the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1: This was the best home team in the entire NFL
Speaker 1: for not one season, but two seasons. Yep.
Speaker 5: It was a thirteen game homestead and.
Speaker 1: Not only do you lose a fourth straight home game
Speaker 1: that you yourself said before this game started, Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, Seede Lamb, all these guys said, well, whatever
Speaker 1: we do, we can't, we can't lose this game. It
Speaker 1: wasn't even close. You got outclassed. You absolutely took the
Speaker 1: Cowboys out back and beat them to within an inch
Speaker 1: of their life, went back inside, got a refer reshment,
Speaker 1: came back outside, and finished beating them until there was
Speaker 1: no more life. The grit, the fight, the determination that
Speaker 1: we saw in Pittsburgh, none of that made the flight
Speaker 1: home to Arlington. None of that. Who the hell is
Speaker 1: this team? Is this the team that goes on the
Speaker 1: road and shows the grit the determination and they're three
Speaker 1: and ozero now and you see what you have there.
Speaker 1: But then they come home and they let somebody just
Speaker 1: walk into their living room and put their feet up
Speaker 1: and put the mundy shoes up on the couch.
Speaker 5: Respect.
Speaker 1: Your just all out disrespect. And this bye week is
Speaker 1: going to be telling for them as far as coming
Speaker 1: out because irs you talked about it, and we talked
Speaker 1: about it. This schedule doesn't turn down. No, this schedule
Speaker 1: turns up even more after Detroit Lion. So you either
Speaker 1: almost said a bad word. Sorry, Derek, you're listening. You
Speaker 1: either get your stuff together right now coming out of
Speaker 1: this by three and three, or you're going into Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: and your season is pretty much going to be over.
Speaker 5: I think, at least with my gut reaction after this game,
Speaker 5: and I said this before the panting button is smashed
Speaker 5: for me now after let's just not to do blast
Speaker 5: beats on it. It is just it is smashed because
Speaker 5: that loss was not necessarily what it predicted I did.
Speaker 5: I never predicted it was going to be like that.
Speaker 1: It's terrible.
Speaker 5: I thought your offense was gonna claw at a certain point.
Speaker 5: But in terms of like the biggest letdowns for me
Speaker 5: of all of yesterday, you know your defense is up
Speaker 5: against the wall. You know your defense is is just shattered.
Speaker 5: I mean there's no help really there. You're you're at
Speaker 5: your wits end with the depth on defense. But for
Speaker 5: your offense to come out and look the way it was.
Speaker 5: You see the play calls and not getting your receivers open,
Speaker 5: just not scheming correctly to get those receivers open. It's
Speaker 5: not for lack of talent. You have Jake Ferguson. You
Speaker 5: have Cdee Lamb, who, for all intent's purposes, played decently
Speaker 5: but was also not on the same page with Dak.
Speaker 5: And you see an offense just sort of sputtering down
Speaker 5: the field and hoping for oh well, at least we're
Speaker 5: in field goal range and we got best kicker in
Speaker 5: the league, let's go for it. To me, uh, that
Speaker 5: was the biggest letdown of last night. But for you guys,
Speaker 5: what would you say is your biggest letdown from last night?
Speaker 5: Would it be the offense with the defense?
Speaker 1: It's both, it's both, and I think last night on
Speaker 1: the on the post game show, on OT and on
Speaker 1: Game Night, you know, I highlighted the defense and absolutely
Speaker 1: just because of the fact that we haven't seen any
Speaker 1: consistent body of work from this defense that is headed
Speaker 1: up by Mike Zimmer. We just haven't. We've seen two
Speaker 1: We've seen one showing that was Week one. Outside of that,
Speaker 1: I guess a pretty bad team. Yeah, against a bad team.
Speaker 1: You know, you beat the Giants, it's a bad team.
Speaker 1: You beat Pittsburgh, that's a team that you don't know
Speaker 1: they're gonna make the playoffs. Middle but every team that
Speaker 1: we know is gonna make the playoffs. Gave up four
Speaker 1: nan thirty yards, more than seventy yards more in ninety yards.
Speaker 5: It just feels like all of last year's problems are
Speaker 5: now exacerbated they are this year. It's not being able
Speaker 5: to beat good teams at home or away. You're getting
Speaker 5: you're getting by. You're not even blowing out bad teams anymore.
Speaker 5: And it just it feels like all of those problems
Speaker 5: have been compounded and are just on a just have
Speaker 5: a microscope under that.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a lot of things going wrong, and like
Speaker 1: you said, they are exacerbated, and it feels like you
Speaker 1: were looking for improvement in certain aspects like run defense
Speaker 1: this year and things like that, and you were looking
Speaker 1: for the offense to take another step forward. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's year two in this offense and there should be
Speaker 1: some comfort here, but you're still seeing disconnects between Dak
Speaker 1: and Ceedee Lamb, even before Brandon Cooks with Now with
Speaker 1: the injury, you're seeing issues with separation, not just with
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, but with the wide receiver corps as a whole.
Speaker 1: The running game it took four games to finally get going.
Speaker 1: And then even before this game got well out of hand,
Speaker 1: the running game was nothing to speak of. I said,
Speaker 1: I made a note to myself here. This was after
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Into the first quarter. Here were the
Speaker 1: rushing stats for the Cowboys. Zeke had four carries for
Speaker 1: six yards. Rico had one carry for one yard.
Speaker 5: After Rico's best game correct five rushing.
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb had one carry for two yards, and that
Speaker 1: was the totality of your first quarter rushing attempts and
Speaker 1: as it goes, and some people will probably look at
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and say, well, Rico he got going. Okay,
Speaker 1: well before he got going, so to speak, with the
Speaker 1: garbage time, Rico had seven yards on three carries before
Speaker 1: his twelve yard running the fourth and then they kind
Speaker 1: of started feeding him heavily as the game started to
Speaker 1: wear down and Cooper Rush was saying and then Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush came in and he wanted to join the interception party,
Speaker 1: and so he did join the interception party as well.
Speaker 1: This goes again. If you want to go line items.
Speaker 1: First of all, to answer to your question who was
Speaker 1: most disappointing defense or offense, I'm the option to see
Speaker 1: all of the above. The secondary no, just no, you failed.
Speaker 1: And for a guy like Ao who had come in
Speaker 1: having put solid stuff on tape that deep ball early
Speaker 1: in the game right side. Don't know what your goal
Speaker 1: was there, but clearly was not defense. Okay, secondary, no
Speaker 1: linebackers outside of the mont Clark No, your defensive line
Speaker 1: absolutely not flip it over to the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball. Your offensive line got taken the school from
Speaker 1: one player to another, and you can't. Cowboys fans, you
Speaker 1: can't put this one on Tyler Gutton. You cannot. You
Speaker 1: wanted to see Tyler Smith pop out the left tackle
Speaker 1: and TJ Bass and then left guard. You got what
Speaker 1: you wanted, now that being said, Tyler Smith, We've seen
Speaker 1: him play much better than he played yesterday. We've seen
Speaker 1: TJ Pass play much better than he played yesterday. We've
Speaker 1: Zach Martin be Zach Martin. Zach Martin led the team
Speaker 1: in pressures allowed with six yesterday. That looked like a
Speaker 1: shell of Zach Martin yesterday. So that's a conversation. So
Speaker 1: your offensive line f your quarterback was under duress. You
Speaker 1: didn't do him any favorites. But you know what in
Speaker 1: the moments when he was not under duress, f okay.
Speaker 1: And that goes to, you know, the miscommunications with CD.
Speaker 1: That also goes to just throws that weren't there receiving corps.
Speaker 1: CD had a mostly solid day outside of the disconnects.
Speaker 1: But you need more, Jaylen Tobert did his best. Poor
Speaker 1: guy the son hit him with a pass breakup? All right, Jalen, Sorry, bro,
Speaker 1: he did what he could. Jake, you need to see
Speaker 1: more from Jake. Jake was unable to get his yack
Speaker 1: yards that you see he couldn't, you know, hit his
Speaker 1: chimy and shake three. I think yeah. And also difficult ball.
Speaker 1: But that jump ball middle left gotta come down with that.
Speaker 1: That's a critical play that that was missed. Jake wants
Speaker 1: that ball back. That was one of the on a
Speaker 1: day where Dak Prescott played poorly for basically sixty minutes
Speaker 1: of football. Help him out. When you do get a
Speaker 1: throw like that where it's catchable and it's a critical
Speaker 1: play and the game is not out of reach it
Speaker 1: you got to come down with that ball. And then
Speaker 1: you saw what happened after that, the slant to turpend
Speaker 1: and you could argue it was DPR whatever. It didn't work. Okay,
Speaker 1: that was a whip route. Yeah, done on game night.
Speaker 1: So when you in the running backs room, I just
Speaker 1: talked about that. So that that's a fail as well.
Speaker 1: If you're not on special teams, you failed the Cowboys yesterday. Period.
Speaker 1: I sam, yeah, I mean, there's there's not much to
Speaker 1: be said. I mean, it just it was bad all
Speaker 1: the way around. I don't want to beat them into
Speaker 1: the ground. They know it's terrible. It was just bad,
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's one aspect of this team that
Speaker 1: you're confident in, and that's special teams. Absolutely, that's it.
Speaker 1: That is literally it. You don't have You don't have
Speaker 1: a defensive identity, that's it. You legit don't have a
Speaker 1: defensive identity at all.
Speaker 5: Do you have an offensive identity?
Speaker 1: You know who you are. They're just not there. They're
Speaker 1: not showing up, you know what I mean? Like because
Speaker 1: the only reason who are? We have the body work
Speaker 1: from last year, same system, same players, right, so we
Speaker 1: same plane caller, so we know what they're capable of.
Speaker 1: But you're not seeing as the creativity. You're not seeing
Speaker 1: the creativity from coach McCarthy in that regard. You're just
Speaker 1: not from him and Shoddy. They early in the game
Speaker 1: they started moving CD around and they got him the ball.
Speaker 1: After that it was slim pickens. Right. So the concepts,
Speaker 1: these are very simplistic concepts, and they can work against
Speaker 1: certain defenses. Right, But if you realize that these simplistic
Speaker 1: concepts aren't working from these alignments and from these motions,
Speaker 1: then you got to get in your bag. Early. I've
Speaker 1: said this a couple of weeks ago. You got to
Speaker 1: get in your bag earlier. Right now, Kella Moore, you
Speaker 1: see empty the back too early? Right now? I feel
Speaker 1: like Coach McCarthy's taking a little bit too slow. So
Speaker 1: I know that he's capable, right because we've seen it.
Speaker 1: We've seen him get create, we've seen him as with personnel.
Speaker 1: We've seen him you know, highlight guys. But I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's because of who he has at his
Speaker 1: disposal right now, or if he's just just kind of
Speaker 1: being safe, or he's trying to build some confidence by
Speaker 1: these guys by giving them very simplistic type of offense
Speaker 1: to run. But this he's capable of more. I'll say
Speaker 1: that coach, Coach McCarthy and Schottenheimer, they are capable of
Speaker 1: more than what they are putting on film right now.
Speaker 1: In terms of strategy defensively, I just don't know. I
Speaker 1: really don't know. And I stand on the same statements,
Speaker 1: the same sentiments that I had leading up when we
Speaker 1: were looking for a defensive coordinator. I didn't necessarily have
Speaker 1: a ton of faith in the in in that particular
Speaker 1: higher right. I just respect it. I respect him as
Speaker 1: an individual, respect his body of work. But this game
Speaker 1: has evolved. This game has evolved and offenses are a
Speaker 1: lot more complex than they ever have been. They're a
Speaker 1: lot more creative than they ever have been. Like a
Speaker 1: triple flip. Yeah, And if you guys remember one of
Speaker 1: my biggest concerns about this particular hire coming into this building,
Speaker 1: not to say that he can't be effective, but that
Speaker 1: I was concerned about the effectiveness with the personnel that
Speaker 1: he has at you know, at hand, do you have
Speaker 1: the personnel that you need to run your type of scheme?
Speaker 1: And my answer was no, you didn't have the money
Speaker 1: to go acquire it, and you didn't have the time
Speaker 1: to draft the guys to get all the guys you
Speaker 1: need underneath your belt. And I think we're seeing that
Speaker 1: show up. I really think we're seeing that show up.
Speaker 1: And you're trying to fit what's the analogy a square
Speaker 1: peg in a round hole around and outside of that.
Speaker 1: Once you realize that that's not working, now you've got
Speaker 1: to be creative. Now you have to change what your
Speaker 1: initial game plan was. Okay, this isn't working for whatever,
Speaker 1: for a number of reasons. Right, we got a ton
Speaker 1: of injuries, Guys aren't being disciplined, Communication is not going well.
Speaker 1: You know, the guys just aren't doing their whatever it is,
Speaker 1: it's not going well. So now what Now what, You're
Speaker 1: sixty games into it, Now what, you're a third of
Speaker 1: the way through the season. Something has to change. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you one thing that absolutely has
Speaker 1: to change. And you make great points, Irs, So I'm
Speaker 1: going to piggyback off of that. I'm going to put
Speaker 1: it on the players. Okay, and this is not me
Speaker 1: taking it off of Zimmer, but I'm also putting it
Speaker 1: on the players because this this mustard spreads all over
Speaker 1: the bread today. Okay, David Montgomery recorded ten mistackles yesterday,
Speaker 1: ten on twelve carries. Are you kidding me? He does?
Speaker 1: That is the highest mistackle person person ext gen. That's
Speaker 1: the highest mistackle rate eighty three percent of any rusher
Speaker 1: this season in the entire NFL who has started each game.
Speaker 5: And I think that goes into Isaiah's point about just
Speaker 5: this team not being very physical.
Speaker 1: Twelve let that sink in crazy, twelve handoffs, ten missed tackles.
Speaker 1: Do the math there? That is that is abysmo execution.
Speaker 1: So when you while we are rightfully wondering what's going
Speaker 1: on with the adaptation of Zimmer's scheme in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four's version of the NFL. Let's also talk about the
Speaker 1: continued lack of execution on this defense mistackles. Anybody who's
Speaker 1: followed this team knows that. As much as penalties has
Speaker 1: been have been kind of the crux of the issue
Speaker 1: on offense, mistackles have been a problem for this Cowboys defense,
Speaker 1: and not just under Zimbra, but in the DQ era
Speaker 1: as well. At a certain point, we're also going to
Speaker 1: point the finger at personnel on the roster and say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know I discipline and gap integrity and assignment and
Speaker 1: keys and just play your ball. And what I'm seeing
Speaker 1: yesterday most certainly as the game started to kind of
Speaker 1: snowball is guys. It felt like guys started to trust
Speaker 1: the guy next to them a little bit less and
Speaker 1: a little bit less with every chunk play that was made.
Speaker 1: And when I say chunk plays or there were plenty
Speaker 1: of those, because I made a note here as well,
Speaker 1: it's funny because I literally wrote this chunkier than homemade
Speaker 1: peanut butter chunk plays. Seven rushes of at least ten
Speaker 1: yards and six receptions of at least twenty yards before
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter started. Yeah, the fourth quart they put off.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they could have hung sixty easily on this team.
Speaker 1: So defensively speaking, execution still a problem. Mistackles still a problem.
Speaker 5: But you expected that in a way. You expected to
Speaker 5: see that with as many holes as you had on defense.
Speaker 5: The offense didn't help you out at all.
Speaker 1: They did not. We're not we're not done with the offense.
Speaker 1: I whole hardly expected the offense to just run the table.
Speaker 1: I agree, and they could have. I agree. I said
Speaker 1: it in the prediction. I said, I feel like this
Speaker 1: offense is on its precipice right, and then they completely
Speaker 1: fall off the cliff in the wrong direction completely. Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott versus man coverage yesterday, he completed his first three
Speaker 1: it is man coverage for thirty five yards, and then
Speaker 1: he completed only two of the next fourteen, and that
Speaker 1: included both of his interceptions against man coverage. He just
Speaker 1: wasn't seeing it now. Pressure didn't help that. Everything fit everything, Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything fed into the next thing, that fed into the
Speaker 1: next thing. Right, You needed those compounding press. The defense
Speaker 1: was wrecked injury wise. Okay, no excuses, because you went
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh and you won like that Chauncey and Tyrists
Speaker 1: and Carl Lawston, Carl last and was brought to this
Speaker 1: team to be that veteran presence in the event you
Speaker 1: have an injury. Didn't provide it, right, These guys are
Speaker 1: getting paid too, so you need to step up and
Speaker 1: you need to play those roles. So I understand injuries happened,
Speaker 1: and it's true, and it does downgrade the talent. However,
Speaker 1: you still have a task, and the task for everybody
Speaker 1: on this roster is to step up when the person
Speaker 1: in front of you goes down due to injury. That
Speaker 1: did not happen yesterday. But it wasn't just on the
Speaker 1: backups who were asked to step up in the absence
Speaker 1: of Kneeling and Tank and Micah and Deron. It was
Speaker 1: all so some of the veterans, the veteran main stays
Speaker 1: that you needed to just play high level football, and
Speaker 1: they did not play high level football. So now you
Speaker 1: come to the offense and you say, well, defense is
Speaker 1: having a crap of a day. All right, offense, get
Speaker 1: it going. We talked about it. Line's secondary. They can
Speaker 1: be had, They can be had. Oh why aren't we
Speaker 1: having them? Oh they're having you instead Okay, pressure, pressure
Speaker 1: is making it harder on Dak Prescott. Okay, Dak need
Speaker 1: you to be super man in this one, because your
Speaker 1: offensive line is not going to save you. Nope, you're
Speaker 1: not going to get any good throws from Deck when
Speaker 1: he has the time to make the throws, let alone,
Speaker 1: he's under pressure. Okay, well, maybe we can stabilize this
Speaker 1: with the running game before things get out of hand. Nope, no,
Speaker 1: no answers, and it's like the receivers. Okay, ceedee lamb
Speaker 1: miscommunications Jayalen Tobert again. I draw a circle around jayling
Speaker 1: Toberd in a positive way because he really did play
Speaker 1: some ball yesterday. But you know, Jake drops that you
Speaker 1: can go down the line and you.
Speaker 5: Can't even before we go to break. You can't even
Speaker 5: blame the training camp.
Speaker 1: Training camp doesn't last six weeks.
Speaker 5: It's not six weeks.
Speaker 1: So if you were saying that's oh, if you were
Speaker 1: saying in August September, oh, well that was a ceed
Speaker 1: Lamps training camp. They've had plenty in October fourteenth.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they've had a quarter of the season to figure
Speaker 5: that out. So all right, boys, we need to take
Speaker 5: our first break when we come back. I want to
Speaker 5: talk about Jerry's comments. I also want to talk about
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott strikingly similar press conferences in
Speaker 5: what they were saying, we need to look in the
Speaker 5: mirror right after this break.
Speaker 6: If you're looking for fresh American roasted coffee that gives back,
Speaker 6: you need to head to your local grocery store and.
Speaker 1: Pick up a bag of Black Rifle Coffee.

Speaker 5: Welcome back to Talking Cowboys. Presented by Black Rifle Coffee.
Speaker 5: This segment is brought to you by Quaker Oats, the
Speaker 5: official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys. Quaker Oats, trusted
Speaker 5: since eighteen seventy seven.
Speaker 1: Got mine, zan Boys, I saw them, I needed them
Speaker 1: this morning. The Cowboys ate their oats. I needed a
Speaker 1: hearty meal. No today, clearly not their old yesterday. It's okay.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to get smacked in the face. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you got to get smacked in the face. But some
Speaker 1: the backslap is what did it. Sometimes getting smacked in
Speaker 1: the face is necessary to wake up. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. We all, I mean, you know, Beamer comes
Speaker 1: in on the late flight. Sometimes you come in on
Speaker 1: late flights. Sometimes you need to somebody you wake up.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But the back You're okay
Speaker 1: with the with the run slap, but if somebody comes backhand,
Speaker 1: that's where the blatant disrespect comes.
Speaker 5: Here's the problem to your offensive lineman. And then the
Speaker 5: problem is if.
Speaker 1: We were talking about oh, you just need to wake up, slap, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe so, But if you're talking about home games, you've
Speaker 1: been slapped three times? Now? How many? Yeah, four in
Speaker 1: a row? How many slaps you need? Yeah? Home? I
Speaker 1: mean home is home? I mean yeah, you would love
Speaker 1: to say you would love to be able to say
Speaker 1: that you still have a great advantage at home. You don't, right,
Speaker 1: and there's right now. They don't. They don't have any
Speaker 1: they don't have the problem.
Speaker 5: My biggest pent is they were booing that Prescott. That's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's and that sucks. Man, My biggest problem, and
Speaker 1: that's obviously going to continue to be a stand up
Speaker 1: guy and take blame for this entire team. This is
Speaker 1: not all on him. This was just a terrible loss
Speaker 1: in general by everybody. This was a green Bay loss.
Speaker 1: This is what that was, right, This was a green
Speaker 1: Bay loss. That's because the offense showed up, came alive.
Speaker 1: Were my biggest my biggest issue. Right, we can talk
Speaker 1: all day long about all the things that were wrong
Speaker 1: about this game. My biggest issue is that you don't
Speaker 1: have an identity, and that to me is worrisome. That's
Speaker 1: worrisome to me because when when everything else is going
Speaker 1: to crap, because there's going to be those days, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have those days where you get blown out like
Speaker 1: this and you're not gonna like it and you're gonna
Speaker 1: try to put your finger on it and it's just
Speaker 1: too many holes to plug all that one time, right,
Speaker 1: So you go, you watch it, you address it, and
Speaker 1: then you say, all right, let's go have a better
Speaker 1: game plan for the next one, right, because we can't
Speaker 1: fix everything that we that we see, right, you just can't.
Speaker 1: You can't address at all. But we're gonna gonna highlight
Speaker 1: the major areas and we're gonna we're gonna hit those
Speaker 1: head on and deal with it, look at ourselves in
Speaker 1: the mirror, and push forward. But when all else fails,
Speaker 1: what do you lean back on, Like, what's your ethos?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 1: What makes you yeah, what's your ethos? So, for instance,
Speaker 1: talk about Detroit Lions. If the Detroit Lions defense was
Speaker 1: trash and their offense was trash and especial teams couldn't
Speaker 1: kick it through the dog on goal posts. What do
Speaker 1: you know that you're still gonna get out of them?
Speaker 1: They're gonna okay, they're gonna be physical, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: be relentless. That's that's a that's a culture, no matter what.
Speaker 1: That's a culture, right. That is the ethos of that team, right,
Speaker 1: and nex stems from you can say stems with Dan Campbell,
Speaker 1: whoever you want to say, but that's what you know
Speaker 1: you're gonna get no matter what the result of the
Speaker 1: field is, right. I don't know what that is for
Speaker 1: this team right now. And that's to that to me
Speaker 1: is worries and because that's something that you can always
Speaker 1: lean on and that may get you through in certain
Speaker 1: games when you when you perform like this, that may, right,
Speaker 1: but at least you know that you I'm leaning on that.
Speaker 1: And that's that's what's most terrifying about the outlook after
Speaker 1: a game like yesterday and after you know, looking at
Speaker 1: the totality of the first six games, is there is
Speaker 1: no ethos, right, and you have no identity And yesterday
Speaker 1: when you talk about having no posts, they were cadavers. Yesterday.
Speaker 1: They were just a cadaver body. Yeah, just empty shells
Speaker 1: of a body that were just getting beat up on,
Speaker 1: kicked on, spit on, etcetera, etcetera. And so to me,
Speaker 1: what's your identity, John Doe going into the BI week?
Speaker 1: You're John Doe. You're John Doe. You were just a
Speaker 1: cadaver with a tag on your toe, and nobody can
Speaker 1: identify who this body is because you're waiting for dental
Speaker 1: records to come back. I guess right, So until you identify,
Speaker 1: you know, are you going to start out physically people.
Speaker 1: We're not seeing enough of that to be like, okay,
Speaker 1: that's your ethos. Are you going to finesse people to
Speaker 1: death and you know, light up the scoreboard for forty
Speaker 1: points like you did last year and the year prior
Speaker 1: and in years prior. We're not seeing that either. Are
Speaker 1: you going to line up and punch them in the mouth.
Speaker 1: We're not seeing that either. We're seeing you're getting punched
Speaker 1: in the mouth rep after rep. And again you look
Speaker 1: at like the offensive line and just Terrence Steele had
Speaker 1: a bad game, and Tyler Smith had a bad game,
Speaker 1: and Zach Martin had a bad game, and TJ. Bass
Speaker 1: had a bad game, maybe Cooper BB had a bad game,
Speaker 1: and and then it just kind of goes from there.
Speaker 1: I love the word ethos. What what's your ethos? What
Speaker 1: is your identity? Right now?
Speaker 5: It is John Doe in my opinion, when you look
Speaker 5: at this game, when you even look at the wins,
Speaker 5: where's the identity there? When when you beat the Steelers,
Speaker 5: what would you say is the identity of that?
Speaker 1: That was grit? And that's what's most with I'm going
Speaker 1: to speak at that was a flash. I was going
Speaker 1: to speak as a parent, and you can relate to this,
Speaker 1: and all parents can relate to this, and even if
Speaker 1: you're obviously we're all children of someone, so you could
Speaker 1: probably relate to this, just as being a childis one.
Speaker 1: When is it more frustrating for or your child to fail?
Speaker 1: Or is it more frustrating for your child to fail
Speaker 1: after they've shown you how successful they can be. It's
Speaker 1: the ladder for me. The reason it's the latter is
Speaker 1: because now now that you've shown me, the expectation is here,
Speaker 1: So that means the effort in the execution and or
Speaker 1: the care the details, the details are lacking, and that
Speaker 1: is infinitely more infuriating from a parental standpoint, because it's
Speaker 1: just like, okay, it's one thing when you haven't shown
Speaker 1: me yet that you can do this. So it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: we're working our way up to this. Let's progress, let's
Speaker 1: work away. But you've seen your grace becomes longer and
Speaker 1: your patience becomes wider. But when you've seen that you
Speaker 1: can operate at this that they can operate at this level,
Speaker 1: and then they come down start operating here, no serve
Speaker 1: like what is this?
Speaker 10: This?
Speaker 1: This is not going to fly. So now, no grace,
Speaker 1: no patience, not for a loss like that. If they
Speaker 1: had at least put up a fight. You lose by three,
Speaker 1: you lose by six, you lose by seven. God that sucks.
Speaker 1: But this is a different conversation. After that, you walk
Speaker 1: in and you John Doe yourself through, you know, sixty
Speaker 1: minutes of football. Are you disappointed? Are you disappointed or frustrated? Yes?
Speaker 5: I'm disappointed, disappointed because.
Speaker 1: The expectations, like I just said, are not being met.
Speaker 1: Frustrated because they can be met, but the things that
Speaker 1: need to be fixed are simply not being fixed. That's
Speaker 1: why we're sitting here slapping the panic. But ken the
Speaker 1: coach has fixed us. I think it has to start
Speaker 1: with players fixing it. Okay, I think it has to
Speaker 1: start with players fisking it. That's why I look at
Speaker 1: what part are you referring to exactly? Because I mean both. Obviously,
Speaker 1: everybody's taking it's everything where it's it's a machine. Everything works,
Speaker 1: and you know, in conjunction with the next thing, that
Speaker 1: works with the next thing. But when I say it
Speaker 1: has to start with players, it has to start with
Speaker 1: number one and the look in the mirror thing, I'm
Speaker 1: right there with that. I think every all fifty three
Speaker 1: have to need it to go home last night first
Speaker 1: and foremost and just sit with this, sit with it,
Speaker 1: Just sit with it, and don't don't run. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying they are, but this is just me saying
Speaker 1: what I would. Don't don't run from the film because
Speaker 1: when you watch that film, your jersey number is probably
Speaker 1: gonna look real bad on that film. Don't run from it.
Speaker 1: Eat that, feel that, and then take accountability forward. Now,
Speaker 1: once you take your individual accountability, look to the left
Speaker 1: and to the right and make sure that those two
Speaker 1: individuals are taking that equal amount of accountability right, and
Speaker 1: then from there you get out on that practice field
Speaker 1: and you play like it's your last rep that you
Speaker 1: will ever play. Okay, and then from there, now you
Speaker 1: put the coaches into it and say, okay, what adaptations
Speaker 1: can we make schematically, offensively, defensively things like that. But
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what adaptations come offensively for Mike McCarthy defensively
Speaker 1: for Mike Zimmer if each individual player doesn't get their
Speaker 1: act together. And that's what I mean, and this is
Speaker 1: something Mike could talked about when he said, guys playing
Speaker 1: trying to be Superman, it's the same premise, right, do
Speaker 1: your job, I'll do my job. Do your job each
Speaker 1: at the highest level, and then the risk will start
Speaker 1: to fix itself. And even if the adaptations don't come
Speaker 1: offensively defensively, now we're playing good ball that keeps us
Speaker 1: in football games. And then the thing that needs to
Speaker 1: be fixed is more easily fixed as far as scheming. Right,
Speaker 1: not to say that it's easy, but it's easier to
Speaker 1: fix scheming than it is to make a player play
Speaker 1: up to his potential when he is down on himself
Speaker 1: or he doesn't feel that he can. It starts internally, right,
Speaker 1: So you fix the small to solve.
Speaker 5: The big, So you already answered my question for the
Speaker 5: most part, Isaiah, when they're talking about looking in the mirror,
Speaker 5: and everyone sort of had the same sentiment. They said,
Speaker 5: they said the same the same thing basically in their
Speaker 5: press conference is after the game or their their interviews
Speaker 5: after the game. It's like, you have to look at
Speaker 5: the man in the mirror. What is the man of
Speaker 5: the mirror telling you after a game.
Speaker 1: Like this that you gotta punch in the mouth.
Speaker 5: And I mean, and to answer your own question, is
Speaker 5: it players or is it coaches?
Speaker 1: And what it's both? It's both. I think it starts
Speaker 1: with the coaches. Personally, I think it starts with the
Speaker 1: coaches because the coaches pull the strings the players execute.
Speaker 1: The coaches put you in position to be successful. The
Speaker 1: players use that positioning to go out there and highlight
Speaker 1: their abilities and make plays. That's the reality. You have
Speaker 1: to be put in position. It's the reason why some
Speaker 1: players flourish in some systems and they don't flourish in
Speaker 1: other systems. It's all about how you're being utilized. So
Speaker 1: I think it starts with the coaches because coach McCarthy
Speaker 1: has to reel this thing in and help these guys
Speaker 1: see the big picture and say, hey, we're three and three,
Speaker 1: and yeah, the losses we've had have been trash, right,
Speaker 1: but we're three and three one game. Yeah, so like
Speaker 1: as bad as it feels right now, like let's etch
Speaker 1: and sketch this thing. Yeah, let's let's watch this film.
Speaker 1: We're gonna come in, We're gonna watch the crap out
Speaker 1: of this film, and it's gonna suck and everybody's gonna
Speaker 1: get graded. Don't know if you know this, but you
Speaker 1: sit down in your meeting rooms and they coach hands
Speaker 1: you a whole little stack of papers, and in that
Speaker 1: sack of papers, it has every single play call and
Speaker 1: at the top of the play, at the top of
Speaker 1: that sheet, it has a grade and it's circled and
Speaker 1: in every every play is a plus or minus. And
Speaker 1: they your coach, your position coach, grades every single person
Speaker 1: that touches that field. And you look at that, and
Speaker 1: you guys talk through every single play and you watch
Speaker 1: every play intently, like what did we do what we
Speaker 1: were supposed to do? Then I execute what could I
Speaker 1: have done better? Okay, next play, and you go through
Speaker 1: every single play. You do that as a unit, and
Speaker 1: then I don't even know it individually. How many times
Speaker 1: you do that it depends on on your on your
Speaker 1: work ethic and how much you value the film. But
Speaker 1: and you that's looking in the mirror. I have to
Speaker 1: see it. Yeah, you have to. You have to see it.
Speaker 1: You have to have to acknowledge what the heck.
Speaker 5: I did now, Acknowledge your reflection, acknowledge it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see it. It's like, I don't
Speaker 1: know if everybody's ever done a body scan. Okay, in
Speaker 1: my facility, we have a three D a three D
Speaker 1: body scan, and most people it's a great tool if
Speaker 1: you utilize it right, because you can see exactly where
Speaker 1: you're gaining, where you're losing muscle, you know, fat or
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. But most people don't want to
Speaker 1: see it. People are what they are physically at that
Speaker 1: point in time. But something about facing the music. I
Speaker 1: don't want to look at it, right. I know, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, I know I need to lose something here,
Speaker 1: but I just don't want to look at it. That's
Speaker 1: what this is. Right, you have to see it because
Speaker 1: if I don't see it, I can't how can I
Speaker 1: address it? Right? So take it. Take the It's nasty
Speaker 1: as it tastes bad. It's gonna stand in your tongue
Speaker 1: for a little bit tea.
Speaker 10: It is.
Speaker 1: It's awful, right, but you need it. It's that Tousso
Speaker 1: it is that tuessom. You gotta take it. And then
Speaker 1: it's up to the coach and say, okay, cool, put
Speaker 1: this away, put this game away. We're not looking at
Speaker 1: this game no more. Right. But what we are gonna
Speaker 1: do is we're gonna do everything that we can in
Speaker 1: our power as a coaching staff to put together the
Speaker 1: best strategic game plan ever for the San Francisco forty
Speaker 1: nine ers. That's what we're gonna do. That's our promise
Speaker 1: to you. We're gonna we're gonna go back and we're
Speaker 1: gonna dissect everything that they're doing, and we're gonna use
Speaker 1: all these days the scouting departments already been looking, they've
Speaker 1: already been breaking down at the analytics of what the
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers are doing. We're gonna take
Speaker 1: that information. We're gonna rewatch our first six games and say,
Speaker 1: what the heck are they seeing that they're jumping a
Speaker 1: gun on us that we need to change up because
Speaker 1: they're they're they're they're olaying us right now, right offensively,
Speaker 1: Our concepts are being are being picked out. They see
Speaker 1: exactly what we're doing. We are. You have to look
Speaker 1: at it and say, from this formation, we run this
Speaker 1: same concept, even though we might be running a different way,
Speaker 1: they're still picking it up. Right, So what do I
Speaker 1: need to change? Right? What do I need to change
Speaker 1: about that? It's self is self scouting, right, That's why
Speaker 1: there's a whole scouting department that helps with that. You
Speaker 1: look at those things and you make the change. Boom.
Speaker 1: All right, now we're changing things that we're gonna do
Speaker 1: more twelve personnel. We're gonna do more of this. We're
Speaker 1: gonna run the same concess but I'm gonna run it
Speaker 1: out of a shift and then we're gonna motion and
Speaker 1: then defensively, guess what screw it? I know I typically
Speaker 1: run this, but now we're changing it up. We're gonna
Speaker 1: let me go back to last year? What what DQ do?
Speaker 1: All right? All right, that's not necessarily how what I
Speaker 1: believe in, But maybe lesten incorporate some of those things,
Speaker 1: because that's how you guys play. Y'all like to play
Speaker 1: fast and physical cool. I'm gonna put you in position
Speaker 1: to play more man to man. But if I put
Speaker 1: you in position to play a man to man, you
Speaker 1: better not get beat. Is if you get beat, I'm
Speaker 1: taking you out. So that accountability, those type of conversations
Speaker 1: have to be had, those man to man conversations because
Speaker 1: it's a room full of men. It's a room full
Speaker 1: of men. Professional professional, absolutely, and just because you're a
Speaker 1: professional doesn't mean that you act as a professional. So
Speaker 1: you need the leadership, right i e. The wisdom the
Speaker 1: coaching staff that they have put together that has a
Speaker 1: ton of wisdom over there, a ton to write the ship,
Speaker 1: to write the ship both from the players standpoint, former
Speaker 1: players that are now coaches and successful coaches that have
Speaker 1: been all the way in one Super bowls. You need
Speaker 1: that wisdom to show these guys the way. And once
Speaker 1: they get that and everybody can come to the table
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I'm own my own mess. Let's go
Speaker 1: out there now and it's going to attack the back
Speaker 1: half of the season. One part about looking in the
Speaker 1: mirror is you got to first make sure the mirror
Speaker 1: is clean and not fractured, because it kind of goes
Speaker 1: to the psychology of what IRIS is saying, as far
Speaker 1: as the body scan is concerned. Right, So, if you
Speaker 1: stand in front of the mirror but you're your view
Speaker 1: is skewed what you don't want the mirror to tell you,
Speaker 1: then you're not really looking at the reflection the right way. Okay,
Speaker 1: if the mirror has its cracks and it needs to
Speaker 1: be clean, you got a vinegar to that thing down,
Speaker 1: then you can't really trust what you're looking back. You
Speaker 1: have to go in to that mirror, in front of
Speaker 1: that mirror with complete openness and willingness to say, this
Speaker 1: is probably going to be the ugliest thing that looks
Speaker 1: back at me, but the only way I can fix
Speaker 1: it is to see it for exactly what it is.
Speaker 5: You can't clean.
Speaker 1: So yeah, long story short, don't stand in front of
Speaker 1: the year, don't stand in front of the mirror and
Speaker 1: lot to yourself.
Speaker 5: Yeah no, absolutely not all right, boys, we need to
Speaker 5: take our final break when we come back. Do we
Speaker 5: have enough time to get this thing the ship right it?
Speaker 5: Do we have enough time here in the bier week
Speaker 5: to change what the cowboys are doing at this point?
Speaker 1: Boys?
Speaker 5: Right back after this.

Speaker 5: next game, is there enough time?
Speaker 1: Well, we already hit the panic button, so if you
Speaker 1: drop this next game, then you're gonna start spiraling. And
Speaker 1: then I mean again, the time is the time. Right
Speaker 1: time is not subjective. You either have the time or
Speaker 1: you don't have the time. They do have the time,
Speaker 1: because it's eleven games, and then it's ten games, and
Speaker 1: it's nine games. But you asked me this question again
Speaker 1: in you know, mid November, when you're literally halfway through
Speaker 1: the season, and if if they have a losing record,
Speaker 1: I'll probably say no, you don't have enough time to
Speaker 1: get that back, especially depending on what happens with the
Speaker 1: Eagles and if the Commanders get back on their streak
Speaker 1: and you know, things like that. But as we talk
Speaker 1: right now, as much as this sucks, and it does suck,
Speaker 1: you still got a living games to figure it out.
Speaker 1: We're speaking in regards of this week, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there enough is there? Enough turnaround right now? For now?
Speaker 5: That's I liked the bigger picture.
Speaker 1: No, No, that's good.
Speaker 5: I like the bigger picture. What is your interpretation?
Speaker 1: There's enough. There's enough time this week to have some
Speaker 1: some heart to heart conversations. Then that's both from the
Speaker 1: from leadership right to the coaches. That's from the coaches
Speaker 1: down to the players, and the players need to have
Speaker 1: meetings amongst themselves. Yes, because as we sit here and
Speaker 1: talk about the whole identity thing, trust me, that conversation
Speaker 1: is being had. It's not just people on the outside.
Speaker 1: It's not just the media that conversations happening in the
Speaker 1: locker room as well. I've been on I've been on
Speaker 1: those teams, right, I've been on those teams, and those
Speaker 1: conversations happen. It's like somebody, we're having to come to
Speaker 1: Jesus moment, right he coaches, Can y'all go, Can y'all
Speaker 1: go out there for a minute? We needed. We need
Speaker 1: to meet real quick brothers. Right.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is in that room that
Speaker 1: has that, that's that sparks that, but somebody in that
Speaker 1: room needs to say, Hey, whatever y'all have planned this
Speaker 1: week in terms of for your bye week, tell your
Speaker 1: wife sorry, to your girlfriends, sorry, tell you whoever sorry.
Speaker 1: We got work to do right, We have work to
Speaker 1: do right. I know we're supposed to be gone from
Speaker 1: Friday to Sunday, and you know, like we're working all
Speaker 1: the way. Didn't earn that? Hey, listen, do you but
Speaker 1: understand what we're going to be doing the rest of
Speaker 1: us that are trying to make sure that we get
Speaker 1: this sting on track. We have to sit here at
Speaker 1: this thing locked and it sucks. I know I wanted
Speaker 1: to go somewhere too. This is more important. This is
Speaker 1: more important. So that conversation has to be had amongst
Speaker 1: the players. The coaches are going to have those conversations
Speaker 1: amongst each other, because everybody has to look at each other.
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna say, I'm not doing good enough, right, be
Speaker 1: real with me. Tell me if we if I sit
Speaker 1: up here and I suck, I would hope that in
Speaker 1: the break y'all would tell me that was trash, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like like you have to have
Speaker 1: that account of Bill. You have to have that type
Speaker 1: of relationship where you can have those real conversations. And
Speaker 1: when you can have those real conversations, now we can
Speaker 1: have growth. Yeah, now we can have growth.
Speaker 5: You're taking the criticism right.
Speaker 1: You got to earn time off, just like you want
Speaker 1: that that slice the cake get in the gym. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta earn it.
