Cowboys lose. Yesterday, 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys loose twenty eight fourteen to the Tennessee Titans, a 12 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: team that, as of last Friday, I think on this 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: show collectively we may have known four names. Now we 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: probably know about eight names and a team that buy 15 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: and large. You would think the Cowboys should have been 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 1: able to beat at home, but surprisingly they were not. 17 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: Maybe surprisingly maybe not. How's abad doing some more? I'm awesome, awesome, great, 18 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: Let's let's jump right into this. And I want to 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: start as we do a lot of days for following 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: a game, going around the table, and I'd like you 21 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: guys to give me again, especially in a game like 22 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: this had so many moments, give me what You're what 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: the biggest takeaway or the biggest storyline that you think 24 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: comes out of a game like this, Nicko, Let's start 25 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: with I mean, I just thought it was all there 26 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: for them to to have a big week. I mean, 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: have it. I mean, this is this is a schedule 28 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: that's gonna get really tough, and this is probably the 29 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: easiest team on the schedule. You had two weeks to 30 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: prepare for it. They looked they didn't look different at all, 31 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: and I just thought, you know, they had opportunities that 32 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: they squandered. But I mean those opportunities started Sunday in 33 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: Washington when the when the Falcons won that game, it 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: was just sitting there for you to take advantage of it. 35 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: They did not. H Yeah, there were parts in the 36 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: game that but I mean, of course we've talked about this. 37 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't buy into the whole should have been up 38 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: seventeen nothing stuff. But um, well it was pretty funny. 39 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: Your tweet was pretty good. I mean, I mean it's 40 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: just because that's what this team is, and so I mean, 41 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: they just don't take advantage of opportunities. That are there 42 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: for them and you know they are what they are. 43 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: Three and five Amber, I mean, there's so much to say, 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: but just to keep it kind of simple, and it's 45 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: frustrating and very very annoying when you see the way 46 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: that the defense started off, So I mean there was 47 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: fire everywhere. They were so pumped and doing things, making 48 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: things Jalen Smith all over the field, making plays. And 49 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: when you see those kinds of things and you give 50 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: the ball back to your offense and then the offense 51 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: isn't able to cash in and make something out of it, 52 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: it's very frustrating and disappointing, especially again when we talk 53 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: about certain players that you don't want to waste them 54 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: and when I look back and we'll get into Dick 55 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, but it's frustrating when you see 56 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: life expectancy of a player, it's a great way, that's perfect. 57 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: I like that being wasted, yeah, and thrown away just 58 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: because your coaching is unable to utilize them the way 59 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: you should be. All right, Dave Um easily like a 60 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: top five loss of my time covering this team. Maybe 61 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: five's worst loss, yes, sorry, worst maybe maybe top three, 62 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: uh ten to six and Tampa comes to mind, but 63 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: you didn't have to didn't have Tony Romo for that game. Uh, 64 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: the Falcons game last year comes to mind, but you 65 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: famously didn't have Zeke or Tyrn Smith. The Chargers game 66 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving comes to mind, but you didn't have Sean 67 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: Lee or Zeke. The Broncos, well, it was bad, pretty bad. 68 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: That was bad, But I don't know that one does 69 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: Baltimore when they close out take the stadium. From an 70 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: all time trip standpoint, I mean from just from plane 71 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: to plane, I mean Buffalo was looked there. Oh yeah, 72 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: that never That one didn't bother me as much as 73 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: it bothered the rest of you all I could get 74 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: like again, And that's my point is like you're starting 75 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore in Buffalo on Christmas, Like, what are you 76 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: expecting to appen? Just the fans don't care that we 77 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: had to circle Houston a couple of times. That wasn't 78 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: even all of it was. We got locked down at 79 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: the hotel. Regardless, it doesn't anyway off the rails. Sorry, 80 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: bad loss, Dave. What my point is, what's the excuse here? 81 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: Because I just listed out all the excuses for why 82 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: those other losses happened but what didn't you have here? 83 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: You added the first round, you know, you added your 84 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: first round pick, You had your you had your starting quarterback. 85 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: Sean Lee was healthy at least at the beginning of 86 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: this game. Tyrann Smith was out there. Last I checked, 87 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: Zeke had forty yards after two possessions. Sure Travis Frederick 88 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: wasn't there. I don't want to hear that they've won 89 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: three games without him this year. I'll bet anybody that 90 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: wants to bet ten dollars right now that this Titans 91 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: team is not making the playoffs. This is as winnable 92 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: a game as they have left on the schedule, and 93 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: they looked terrible. So that's really my my main impression 94 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: is just that this was in a actually ugly, crappy loss, 95 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: you know, And to go back to you know, we 96 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: were talking about the reason why I don't think this 97 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: whole like well they should have been up so much 98 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: is because, I mean, defensively, they made one play. DeMarcus 99 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: Lawrence made one play and if it wouldn't have been 100 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: kicked around, you know, twenty five yards. Used to say 101 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: they even score a touchdown there because that ball was 102 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: like on the thirty five got all the way down 103 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: to the twelve when they but like, you know, they 104 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: didn't make up another play on that that fumble. They 105 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: just Tennessee just decide to fumble. Well they made to 106 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: play to make the recovery, but yeah, they recovered it. 107 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: And I mean, I just they They're just not an 108 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: opportunistic type team like that. And so you know, Tennessee 109 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: just stopped turning the ball over and you know they 110 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: made a play as well. I don't know, maybe the 111 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys ran out of gas when you keep running to 112 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: the end zone to take pictures. I mean, maybe what 113 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: happened with that? And then and Jerry Jones, Jerry Jones 114 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: said that a couple of times after the game, it's 115 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: like they had so much energy. This team was so 116 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: like did they hide themselves out of the game? Can 117 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: I throw out something? And I do not take this. 118 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm making this declaration at the beginning. Do not take 119 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: this as an excuse, because it should never be an excuse. 120 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: But do you think at all that the temperature in 121 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: the building affected their their energy level? What? What do 122 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: you mean? What it was seventy eight degrees at kickoff? 123 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: This was not a cool environment for the roof to 124 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: be open. Oh, Derek, No, No, no, I didn't. I 125 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: didn't notice it. I can't go there with him there. 126 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: It was chilly when we went out there in the 127 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, yes, oh my quarter. Yes, 128 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: I can't believe you're saying this to me right now. 129 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: It was first of all, don't see. This is why 130 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: I didn't want to say it, because you're gonna make 131 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: this seem as though I'm making excuse. It's not excuse. 132 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying. If you're gonna talk about if you're gonna 133 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: talk about no, if you're gonna talk about what could 134 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: have been a difference in their energy level as the 135 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: game we're on, think so, no one could this have 136 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: been part of I don't. I don't think so. I 137 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: think they they just did not tackle well. Now, a 138 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: better excuse to that would be, you know there two 139 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: of their two of their best defensive linemen are not 140 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: playing in the game. I mean that that. You know, 141 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: anytime that you have injuries like that, then Sean Lean 142 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: goes out. I think that hurt him. I don't know. Well, 143 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: I do know this that I'll say you say this 144 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: for Jalen. You talk about two different football games yesterday 145 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game, he was flying around. 146 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: By the end of the game, we saw a couple 147 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: different plays. One play that you and I noticed, Nick 148 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: where he basically the runners coming and he did he 149 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: basically took himself out of the play by trying to 150 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: run around a blacker. And then there was another play 151 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: on the touchdown run where he basically just kind of 152 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: played pattycake with with with Mariota rather than actually trying 153 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: to tackle him or rather than actually putting a hit 154 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: on him. And so he certainly was not the same 155 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: player by the end of the game as what he 156 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: was earlier in the game when he was flying around. 157 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: That's a that's a thing. I mean, I've noticed it 158 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: going all the way back to the Eli Manning hit 159 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: in week two, the Deshaun Watson hit as good as 160 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: it was like and ninety nine percent of the time 161 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: he's right. Jalen Smith is a guy who clearly thinks 162 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: that like running full speed and lowering the boom on 163 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna put him on the ground, and Marcus Mariota 164 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: proved him very wrong on that run. You know, wrapping 165 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: up is still a thing that you should probably do, 166 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: and he really a boom on him on top. No, yeah, no, 167 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: for sure. Well, I don't know. Maybe he thought he's 168 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: a quarterback and that should be enough, but it was not. 169 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: It's a bad look for a guy that's as physical 170 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: as he is, because when Jayalen Smith tackles the way 171 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: he can tackle, I mean, you know, he'll stop at 172 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: tight end dead in his tracks. And so that really 173 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: was surprising to see that. I mean it looked like 174 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: he thought it was two hand touch basically. Yeah. So yeah, 175 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about the quarterback yesterday. To me, 176 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: I think he was a highly inconsistent player for them yesterday. 177 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: You look at his numbers, though, and his numbers say 178 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: he had a pretty decent day talking about rain. Yes, Okay, 179 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: he was twenty one to thirty one, sixty eight percent 180 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: completion percent is two hundred and forty three yards, two touchdowns, 181 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: one interception, a ninety nine point three quarterback rating. So statistically, 182 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good day for Dakota. Right, That's that's 183 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: not a bad day. But I think the two things 184 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: that stand out to me most are the fact that 185 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: in yesterday's game, in a game like that where turnovers 186 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: are important, there were two turnovers at the Cowboys hat 187 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: and both the turnovers were his doing. The interception where 188 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: he threw the ball into double coverage and then the 189 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: the fumble that he had there as well. What did 190 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: you guys think of of Dak yesterday and how he 191 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: performed for this team. I think the way you led 192 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: this off is proof that. And people say this all 193 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: the time, stats lie because I mean, I don't care 194 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: what I don't care what that says. He did not 195 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: play a good game. He played a really bad game. 196 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: Actually is as uncharacteristic and interception as I've ever seen 197 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: from him, especially in the red zone. Just app I mean, 198 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: there's absolutely nothing there. Even if he puts more air 199 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: under that ball, Amari Cooper is probably gonna run out 200 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: of real estate. He did look confident in what he 201 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: was seeing. I think, you know, he took five sacks. 202 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: I would guess that on at least three of them. 203 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: You're talking about him holding the ball four or five 204 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: or longer seconds just either which you know I haven't 205 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 1: gone back and watched the all twenty two. Maybe the 206 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: receivers aren't open. Well, that's problematic if they just traded 207 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: away a first round pick for a receiver. But you 208 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: still got to get rid of the ball. No, I 209 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: mean you got to you gotta get rid of the ball, 210 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: just little things. You know, people were killing him for 211 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: it on Twitter and rightfully so you you scramble out 212 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: of bounds and lose two yards when you can simply 213 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: just kind of flick it over the line of scrimmage 214 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: and lived to see another day. Just situational awareness, pocket 215 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: awareness was not there. The decision making was not there. 216 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: And yeah, like I said, I don't ninety nine passer rating, 217 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: no way. I mean maybe that's what it came to, 218 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: but that's not what it looked like. And once again 219 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys were not able to get him involved in the 220 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: running game. He had two rushes for eleven yards, So 221 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: they really didn't find a way to make him or 222 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: at least make the Titans defense have to contend with 223 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: the fact that he and run by creating opportunities for 224 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: him to round with the ball. I mean exactly. I 225 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: mean Marioda gets ten ten rushes for thirty two yards, 226 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: you know, and that gets two. I mean that's I 227 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: just don't understand when you have two weeks off like that, 228 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: I mean, what are they doing honestly, what what are 229 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: they doing to fix some of these things? I mean, 230 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: where's the where's the end of rounds, where's the jet sweeps? 231 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: Where the deep balls? I thought a Marie Cooper was 232 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: supposed to come in here and stretch the defensive around 233 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, how can you not get Beasley? 234 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: Beasley got four targets, most of them were at the 235 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: very end of the game. I mean, I just don't 236 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: understand what they're doing. Um, you know, I I don't know. 237 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: They They've they've got to absolutely the only thing they've 238 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: got left to do is to change the play caller. 239 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: I mean, i'd seem like that's gonna happen. Well, I know. 240 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: I mean also, I don't know what what's going on. 241 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: I mean, the fans are frustrated, you know, frustrated with 242 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Jerry comes out today and says he's gonna 243 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: get an extension. I mean that last night, that he's 244 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: not playing on making any more coaching changes during the season, 245 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: which would include the head coach, that would include the offense. 246 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: He made sure to specify nothing is personal here with us. 247 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: I mean, nothing's personal. We see these guys all the time. 248 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: We see him on the plane. That's what makes it 249 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: kind of tough for us. We see him walking in 250 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: the halls. I mean, I think everyone typically likes all 251 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: of these people, but I mean, Dave gott to remove 252 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator right now, they have to, They have 253 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: to remove the play caller is absolutely atrocious. To go 254 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: out in two weeks and do that, That's that's ridiculous. 255 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, I mean Mary Ooder was picked what second overall? Okay, 256 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 1: he can run ten times. I mean he's okay, you can. 257 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: You gotta run, Dak. That's his strength, That's what he's 258 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: that's what he's good at. That will open up things 259 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: for everybody else, not just a mooticum of creativity. I mean, 260 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: how many, thank you, how many first down runs just 261 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: right into the line, you know, how many? How many 262 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: jet actions did we see, not even like not even 263 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: talking about trying to get people involved on that, just 264 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: the illusion and which how many times have I said 265 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: that over the last six months, like give the defense 266 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: reason to believe that it's going to be anything but 267 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: a dive right up the gut. I know this sounds 268 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: like that we're just kind of nitpicking because this isn't 269 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: a one of those premier positions. But the fact that 270 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: they do not have a tight end, that's that's good 271 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: at all. They don't really have it. I mean, if 272 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: these tight ends were available, I don't know how many 273 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: would be on a team. I really don't know. Maybe 274 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: Schultz would because if you know, he was drafted and 275 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: all that, but I don't know if the other two 276 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: would be that that's a problem for them. They don't 277 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: have a good balance there because these guys can't block 278 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: and they're not willing to block. We all saw them. 279 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody saw the play on Twitter. I mean 280 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't just him, though there were there was a 281 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: lot that was wrong that play. He's there. Everything was 282 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: wrong with Sultz is there right? And it's like, okay, linebacker, Nah, 283 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: I don't want him. He could take him. There's a 284 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,599 Speaker 1: guy in the ground over here. I'm gonna go and 285 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: see if I can touch him. Yeah, I'm gonna see it. 286 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: Tire and needs help with this guy, and I'm just 287 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: leave their middle linebacker to I don't know. You know, 288 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: before the press conference, I went in there and sat down. 289 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, I swear to God, if you come out 290 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: here and say we did some good things. We're gonna 291 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: go back and watch the tape. Oh my god, Like again, 292 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: I didn't do anything about it, obviously didn't comment out. 293 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, that's a lie. That's a lie, because clearly, 294 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: either you're watching the tape and not catching up on 295 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: what is actually going on on the field, or you 296 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: just don't care, or do you just not good enough. 297 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm tired of hearing those things 298 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: because and I get that you have to say that, 299 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: because it's like okay to comment on certain things, you 300 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: kind of have to go back and watch exactly what happened. 301 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: But stop saying that because you're not making changes things. 302 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: Oh there you go. You're not really making changes. You 303 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: come back next week and do similar things again. Yeah, 304 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: and you don't repeat the things that are working for you. 305 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: So quit saying you're gonna watch the freaking tape and 306 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: come back and do change things up. No, just say 307 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: something else. But yeah, I mean, you're you're exactly right 308 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: on that one. Because I was there in the press 309 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: conference and it started off. I mean the guy just 310 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: asked him. I mean, the most Homer reporter there is, 311 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: and he's just happy to be there, and he's really 312 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: always bright side type of guy. He said, coach, what happened? 313 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: And he said, well, I thought we did some good things. 314 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: I thought they did some good things. Yeah, yeah, And 315 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: he paused a little bit, and then he said, in 316 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: really all three phases of our team false. What would 317 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: broad us say to this man? You didn't do any 318 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: good thing. You didn't do any good things. There's nothing 319 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: good about it. Scoring points in the NFL is not 320 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: a good thing. A touchdown, fourteen points is not a 321 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: good thing. I honestly believe that he needed to come 322 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: up there. Hold on, you need to come up there 323 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: and say, you know what, this was unacceptable. This was 324 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: the one of the worst games ever. It starts with me. 325 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: We had two weeks prepare, and it looks like we 326 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: had two hours to prepare. We played like crap. A 327 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: lot of difference that we make changing what you say, 328 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that would make a whirl of different Don't 329 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: we wear blue every day we come here and we 330 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: just keep doing the same thing. And you know what, 331 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: these fans are pissed off, and they should be. They 332 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: should be pissed off because they've given this team a 333 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: lot of support. And then they they're there every single time, 334 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: and they keep rolling out this stuff. I don't be 335 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: pissed off. I honestly think that Jason feels like he's 336 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: providing calm in the storm, like he's he's this steadying 337 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: influence for fans out there to make him realize look 338 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: and everything. It's kind of like you're on the Titanic 339 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: and it's the captain saying, don't worry, guys, you hear 340 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: the music. We're all okay here, We're good, right. The 341 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: problem is that what it really tells fans, especially in 342 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: moments like this, is that he's oblivious. That's what fans 343 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: take from it is he doesn't realize that the ship's 344 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: actually going down, and he's not providing calm because they 345 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: see what they see. They see a team that had 346 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: enough tools to be able to win a game like 347 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: that yesterday and didn't. So I think he's actually not 348 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: accomplishing what he's trying to accomplish. He's actually doing the opposite. 349 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: Have you seen and have y'all seen Animal House? This 350 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: is a bad room to ask, remain come all as well? Yeah, Um, 351 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: I don't think Jason Garrett cares about what the fans 352 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: think and that I think he I think I think 353 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: he does. I think he thinks he's a steadying influence 354 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: for the team. He's you know, like, I'm the same 355 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: guy every day, no matter if it's good or bad. 356 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: I don't think he gives a crap what the fans 357 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: thing now. I honestly think that Jason, I think that 358 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: that's the right. That's why Jason when he first remember 359 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: when he first took over as a head coach, he 360 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: had the lectern. Yeah, he didn't sit at the table 361 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: like he understands the image that he's trying to portray 362 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: to the general public. He gets that as the head 363 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: coach of the Dallas Cowboys, it is part being a 364 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: not a CEO, because Jerry's the CEO ultimately, but it's 365 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: part of being a figurehead in this organization. And he's 366 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,239 Speaker 1: trying to represent a certain image. And I think that 367 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: when he says that he's trying to stay positive, he's 368 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: trying to make everybody understand that, hey, it's what you 369 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: talked about last week. We're gonna keep pounding you. We're 370 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: gonna keep one of the things. We're gonna be steady. 371 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: And in being steady, he thinks that Eventually it's all 372 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: gonna work out. The problem is fans aren't seeing that. 373 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: Fans are like that only works for so long, and 374 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: then it's like, Okay, we've been steady for a long 375 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: time and the results are still the same. Now it's 376 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 1: turning into insanity. Nope, nobody's seeing it. I mean, shoot, 377 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: I said as recently as yesterday morning, I was like, Okay, cool, 378 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper's here, and that's great. But what I'm really 379 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: curious about is what that is going to mean for 380 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: the opportunities that creates for Cole Beasley, Zeke Elliott, Michael Gallup. 381 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup had a pretty nice day. Cole Beasley caught 382 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: three passes for sixteen yards and most of those are 383 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: on the last series a thing, and they forgot Zeke 384 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: was on the team after the second possession, which again, 385 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I just again, I gotta watch the tape. 386 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: I guess. I know that's important. I know that's important, 387 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,959 Speaker 1: but man, it's hard to believe that there was just 388 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: nothing there for any of those guys. All right, let's 389 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: take our first break. When we come back, I do 390 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: want to ask you guys the question. Jerry did make 391 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: the comment this morning that Dak will be getting an extension. 392 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: Ask you, guys, if you think that's the right move. 393 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: Do you think you've seen enough to be able to 394 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: say that you agree or disagree with that? Will do that? Woman? 395 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: Come right back.

If this is my John 435 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: deardealer dot com slash football Back to the Break, Welcome back. 436 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: It is a second second of the Break live from 437 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: the s WBC Mortgage studios. At the start, we're talking 438 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys loss yesterday. They lose to the Tennessee 439 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: Titans twenty eight to fourteen. They now are three and 440 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: five halfway through the season. Hmmm. Who guessed that that 441 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: was gonna happen? Yeah you did. Yeah, that was at 442 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: your prediction before the year six and ten, Liar, I said, like, 443 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: gonna I don't quite remember that, but hey, if you 444 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: say it, I'll go with you for now. And so 445 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 1: I'm proving wrong. I told Rob last night and I 446 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: was like, well, I said, I said they weren't going 447 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, so I feel pretty smart about that. 448 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: But I also said they were gonna go nine and seven, 449 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: which means that they would have to go six and 450 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: two the rest of the way for me to be right. Yeah, 451 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine that happening right now. Sof Cowboys are. 452 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: They're definitely gonna be battling uphill the rest of the season, 453 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: you would think, And right now, I certainly don't think 454 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: that wildcard is even an option, Like there are too 455 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: many teams that are kind of sitting in that area, 456 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: and especially teams that have beaten them in the NFC, 457 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: So the only chance they would even really have would 458 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: be the division. They say they're only two games out, 459 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: but just the way they're playing, it's hard to believe 460 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: that they're going to really be a push and Stone. No, 461 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: it's crazy. They're three and five. They will not be 462 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: three and seven, and they have to really. I agree 463 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: they're going to one of these two games at Philly 464 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: at Atlanta. I don't know which one, and I know 465 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: on papers something to look at them. But these teams 466 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: aren't really you know, they're not setting the world on 467 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: fire either, you know. So I agree in principle with 468 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: what you're saying. And that's what we've seen from Jason 469 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: Garrett's teams so much in the past. But literally that's 470 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: I said yesterday. I was like Jason Garretts twelve and 471 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 1: two when his teams below five hundred. His team has 472 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: been so good at home and then in all that's 473 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: literally everything that is supposed to line up for a 474 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett team was there for him last night and 475 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: they played like that. So I can't sit here and I, 476 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: like I said, I agree in principle with what you're saying, 477 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: but I can't sit here and feel comf that they're 478 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 1: going to win either. And you know when those in 479 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: the years that they struggled to the years that they 480 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: don't have their starting quarterback, yeah, that mean this is 481 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: one of those years, even though they think they well 482 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: that that's a nice lead in before you. So I 483 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: hate to but next four games are all inn FC 484 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: and all against playoff contending teams, so we'll know real quick, 485 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: like well, we don't have to wait. And one that 486 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: might be the best team in the NFC might part 487 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: is well, I don't know about it. I don't think 488 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: you can say right now somebody is. They are certainly 489 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: in the conversation as best. Yeah, they're definitely in the 490 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: conversation with the best in the NFC. They beat the 491 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: best team in the NA on Sunday. I get that, 492 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: but I don't know if that necessarily means they're the best. 493 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: But they're right. They're one of the top two or 494 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: three teams in the NFC, no doubt about it, no 495 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: doubt about it. Yeah, and the Cowboys will have to 496 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: play them, and it will probably be be a game 497 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: that feels like a neutral crowd. Anyway, let's talk let's 498 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: talk about that. But anyway, let's talk about dak Nick. 499 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: You made the comment that, you know, maybe maybe they 500 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: don't have their quarterback. However, Jerry made it clear this 501 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: morning that he plans to give him an extension. What 502 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: do you think, Well, you know, depends on how long 503 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: the extension is. I mean, what we're going to give 504 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: him to him a day? Well what one year? I 505 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: mean is it? It doesn't sound like he would say 506 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: it like that. It sounds like he was talking about 507 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: a major extension. And no, I don't think it's a 508 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 1: good idea. I think the quarterback Again, I say this 509 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: because it's you know, you have to qualify this. I 510 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: feel like we do. But UM really like him. I 511 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: like what he's done, love his story, thinking everything he 512 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: does everything the right way down to sound like Jason Garrett, 513 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: but that you know that's true. But he's bringing this 514 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: team down, he's setting him back because he's limited in 515 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: what he can do, and if they're not going to 516 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: use them the way that they need to be using 517 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: him because he is he is limited in the as 518 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: a passer in my opinion, but he can do some 519 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: other thing things athletically. They don't do that to me. 520 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: They treat him like a passer and he can only 521 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: give you so much. But couldn't that be what Jerry's 522 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: kind of alluding to there without saying it is After 523 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: this season, I'm going to have an offensive coordinator that 524 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: maybe can get that out of him. Maybe that's what 525 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: he's thinking. I'm again, I'm putting words in his mouth 526 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: because he never said that. But there are things about 527 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: Dak that we've seen that that can be successful. The 528 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: question is is it a question of right now he's 529 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: not playing well and if if that's the case, he's 530 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: not playing well because of his own abilities or lack thereof, 531 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: or because the offensive coordinator doesn't do enough to put 532 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: him in the right situations to use him the right way. 533 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: And we've seen quarterbacks like that in the NFL, where 534 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: depending on what system you're we're in and how they're 535 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: developing you, that dictates how successful you're going to be right, 536 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,959 Speaker 1: I agree. I've seen you how to go to the 537 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: root of the problem and that stars up there was 538 00:25:53,720 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: what up there? Coaching clouds down there. Anyways, you have 539 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 1: to get to the route as far as coaching you have. 540 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: That's the change I would want to see happening because 541 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: right now, for me, when you started talking about Dak Prescott, yes, 542 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: he's been inconsistent yet we've seen some good things out 543 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: of him, but it's still hard to fully evaluate him 544 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: when you know what the coaching is. When you know 545 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: that the coaching hasn't been able to position not even 546 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: just him, but even Zeke, the receivers, other players, they 547 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: haven't been able to fully utilize them well and to 548 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: their advantage and position them in the right position. So 549 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: to me, right now, I don't mind Jerry saying that, 550 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: I think that I would like to see Dak Prescott 551 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: under a different kind of management. I think that when 552 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: it comes to a teacher, it's very important and it 553 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: really makes a difference when you have a good teacher 554 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: versus a bad teacher. And look at for example, Chris Rishard, 555 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: the type of thing he was able to do. He 556 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: was able to convert Barron Jones into something completely different 557 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: because he's all the talent, he has the experience and 558 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: the knowledge to change that and make him flourished. So 559 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: I think when you get someone in here like that 560 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: that is able to take your strength and utilize them 561 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: in a way and kind of cover up the weaknesses 562 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: a little bit. You've made all the kind of changes 563 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: you could possibly make on the field. You've seen it 564 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: in the past when Jason Winn was here, when Romo 565 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: was here, yet the end result was nothing different. So 566 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: I think stop making changes as far as players. Let's 567 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: make the change of a coaching change there, because that's 568 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: the only difference that I think would you would able 569 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: to see something completely different than what we've seen right now. 570 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: I think you hit the nail on the head when 571 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: it comes to the experience, and we've talked about it 572 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: on this show quite a bit. When you have Kellen 573 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: Moore as your quarterback coach, nothing that says that this 574 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: guy can't develop into a really, really great coach, Because 575 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't like saying what people's ceilings are. The problem 576 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: is the lack of experience and take out tell anyone 577 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: of you guys, And that's for the listeners out there 578 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: as well, take your own personal career, whatever career field 579 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: you have. Where you are now is probably a lot 580 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 1: more You're probably a lot more knowledgeable than you were 581 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: five years ago, ten years ago, fifteen years ago. There 582 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: is something to be said for experience. And the fact 583 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: of the matter is, when you're young, you don't know 584 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: what you don't know. Right. You may think you have 585 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: it all under control, but you'll look back five years 586 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: from that and you'll be like, man, I missed that. 587 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,479 Speaker 1: I didn't really understand that. Experience didn't give me the 588 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: benefit of being able to see this potential problem or 589 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: how to solve this in a better way. Right, So 590 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: experience matters. And you look across this coaching staff. It's 591 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: not just at quarterback. You look at the quarterback coach, 592 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: You look at the linebacker coach, you look special teams coach, 593 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: you look at the offensive line coach. Now, all of 594 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: them inexperience. And that's not to say that an inexperienced 595 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: coach can't do a good job. It is to say 596 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: when you have a coaching staff where you have four 597 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: different positions, and by the way, a lot of those 598 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: positions they're dealing with young players and they're all in experience, 599 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: like they have never had that position before in their 600 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: entire career. You could be facing some problems from just 601 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: from the standpoint of experience, right And so if I 602 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: think for Dak, the biggest thing I see is right now, 603 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: the person that's in his ear the most is a 604 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: guy that doesn't know what he doesn't know, and again 605 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything about the future of what he can 606 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: become before right now, he doesn't have the experience to 607 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: be able to know all the different things that hey, 608 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: I might be able to tell him this, or I 609 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: may be able to do this. And I've coached a 610 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: quarterback like this before, and I know I have to 611 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: do it like this in order to get the best 612 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: out of him. He doesn't have the benefit of that experience, 613 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: and I think that matters right now. I don't disagree 614 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: with you, but I just don't think I buy that 615 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: as like the reason the things are the way they are. 616 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I agree with Amber for the 617 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: most part, just that more than anything, I think you 618 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: can win games with Dak Prescott. I don't think he's 619 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: a I don't think he's in a scheme that really 620 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,719 Speaker 1: plays to his strength. Right now, I mean, you look 621 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: at Marcus Mariota. Nick mentioned the ten carries for thirty 622 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: two yards. How about the fact that damn near every 623 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: pass he threw was based off of some kind of 624 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: play action. I mean again, actions deception like getting people moving, 625 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: trying to exploit mismatches in the defense. I don't see 626 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: that stuff with what they try to do with Dak. 627 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: It looks very boilerplate and simple. And I feel dumb 628 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: saying that because I certainly can't coach as well as 629 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: Scott Linehancam, but it just doesn't seem like he's being 630 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: put in positions to succeed. So yeah, like it really 631 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: doesn't bother me to hear that Jerry Jones wants to 632 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: extend Dak because there's more nuance to it there, you know, 633 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: like Dak Prescott is not going to get an Aaron 634 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: Rodgers deal, Like he's just not. And not to mention 635 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. Honestly, I listened to that interview. It honestly, 636 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones sounded defiant and he just kind of sounded 637 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: like he wanted to say something to shut people up 638 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: and just kind of like, hey, he's our quarterbacks, so 639 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: shut up. He did. He didn't give any specifics. He 640 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: didn't say when he's gonna do it, he didn't say 641 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: how much money it's gonna be for. So I'm not 642 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: really flying off the handle at that. But even if 643 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys give Dak before your extension this offseason, I 644 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: don't think that's the end of the world. I think 645 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: you can win games with him just not not playing 646 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: and calling things the way that it is right now, 647 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: and I think that is what needs it needs to change, 648 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: more so than the actual guy throwing the ball. Well, 649 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: you know that they brought in Amari Cooper, and one 650 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: of the things that they've said about that is is 651 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: that they've got their first round pick right now. You know, 652 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: they don't have one next year. Obviously, their first round 653 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: pick is right now. So they're almost like building for 654 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: the future right now. So if that's the case, and 655 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: Dak is the future, then why not get to the 656 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: I mean, why prolong this anymore? I mean, I'm not 657 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: saying that you're going to find your coach right now, 658 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: but but why continue to do this this way? I 659 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: just think they've got to figure something now. They've got 660 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: to change the play caller. Something, they have to to 661 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: to mix this up in a way because you know 662 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: you're three and five, you do have eight games left. 663 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: But well, and this is the perfect time to experiment 664 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: with dust that kind of stuff. I mean, you wouldn't 665 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: want to do it into like going into next year. 666 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna have, like, for example, the 667 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: play caller, let's say, okay, let's try out Jason Garrett 668 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: why he can do play call in this game? This 669 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: is the right time to do it, I would say, 670 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: because where you're standing right now of the season, you 671 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: really don't have much to lose. You know, Garrett has 672 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: always The reason why Garrett's been here for this is 673 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: what his eighth year as the coach. The reason why 674 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: that it's lasted that long is because every single time 675 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: that it's he's at his back has been against the wall. 676 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: Every single time he's come through with flying colors like 677 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year or in twenty fourteen and then 678 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: fifteen was bad. Now sixteen boom did it again? Last year. 679 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: You could make the case, well, you know, nine and seven, 680 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: you know you can, you could cut. But I think 681 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: because of what happened with Zeke, I think they like 682 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: you know, Sean Lee time together, I think they gave 683 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: him people. People don't want to hear it, but nine 684 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: and seven doesn't get you fired from very many jobs. 685 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: It just doesn't. It's why this stuff, which is why 686 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: last night is significant to me. And I sound like 687 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: a broken record. I don't care. That is a typical 688 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: of what Garrett teams do. They typically your backs against 689 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: the wall, you have a chance to climb back to 690 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: five hundred, keep yourself relevant. They almost always win those games, 691 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: and they didn't just lose. They looked bad doing so. 692 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,959 Speaker 1: I think that's noteworthy. And that's why you know, I 693 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: can't I can't go there with you and say, well, 694 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: they'll find a way to win one of these games, 695 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: because the history says they find a way to win 696 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: this game, and they didn't. What they're showing us right 697 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: now is already a typical, so it's hard to say 698 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: anything is typical at this point. I'll take the words 699 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: right out of Jerry Jones's mouth because I agree with him. 700 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: He's you know, three and five sucks, But what's worse 701 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: than the record is what they looked like. You know, 702 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not worried about being three and five. 703 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: I'm worried about the fact that we played that way 704 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: while losing, because you know, if they lose a shootout 705 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: and lose, you know, if they if they lose thirty 706 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: one to twenty eight and it's a heartbreaker, but they 707 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: you know, Dak played grade and just couldn't rack them 708 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: over the finish line. You talk yourself into beating two 709 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: mediocre teams on the road. Yeah, but that's not what 710 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: they look like. So it's hard to really try to 711 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: sell anything other than what you saw. You know, real quick, 712 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: you get down there, you know, you need to get 713 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: two scores, and you know, we've been talking about this 714 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: team being so vanilla, and you get down there and 715 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: then it's like, oh, now we're gonna throw Beasley a 716 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: reverse where Beasley is gonna throw it to Dak in 717 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: the end zone. And that damn near helpless, hopeless situation. 718 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: Well that tells you how desperate they may have been 719 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: at that point that they're just pulling. Imagine how awesome 720 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: would that be, I mean, just to play itself, if 721 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: they would have made I mean, I don't know, but whatever, Yeah, 722 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if that's that's that plays 723 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: ever really gonna work. And there's a reason why quarterbacks 724 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: aren't that tall or short. I mean, I don't know, 725 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: you're not gonna you don't have room down in the 726 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: twenty to fool a lot of people that that quickly. 727 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: But it was I mean, in fairness, yeah, I understand that, 728 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: but it was it was definitely done in a different way. 729 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: And you know, I just I don't know, gold Busy. 730 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: It's a tough one because every single time you think, oh, 731 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: a big game for him, and then you come back 732 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: and then, like I really believe, if somebody wants to 733 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: take him out of a game, they can. They can. 734 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: He's not just the type of receiver that could just 735 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 1: kind of just fight through it. If that's their goal, 736 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: take you out of the game, and that's what they 737 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: should do. All right, let's take our final break. When 738 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: we come back. I do want to talk about the 739 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: offensive line. They gave up five sacks yesterday. But my 740 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: question is was it the offensive line or was it 741 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 1: dak We'll talk about that when we come back.

When picking a tractor, 747 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than just specs 748 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put 749 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: it to the test.

There's been transition there, probably as much transition 820 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 1: there as any place on this team, because they change 821 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: the offensive line coach now, Mark Colombo has taken over 822 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: for Paul Alexander. Cowboys start off the game looking really good. 823 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: It seemed like I know Nick you and I mentioned 824 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,399 Speaker 1: a couple times early in the game, like, man, Dak 825 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,359 Speaker 1: has all day back there. Zeke starts off the first 826 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 1: two drives, like you said, Dave, he had what forty 827 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: yards in the first two possessions. So it looked like 828 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: the offensive line initially was really like clicking on all cylinders. 829 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: Then the wheels kind of fell off. At least they 830 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: gave up five sacks. Kind of Uh, well, yeah, the 831 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: running game just wasn't the same. Um, where do you 832 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: put the blame for that? Though? Do you put it 833 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,280 Speaker 1: all on the offensive line? Do you put it mostly 834 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: on the offensive line? Do you think Dak had up 835 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: something or a lot to do with that? Where do 836 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: you How do you evaluate this offensive line yesterday? I 837 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: think it's it goes the same as has it been 838 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,320 Speaker 1: for the last few weeks. I think that there's probably 839 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 1: a conversation on the sideline like wait, wait, guys, what 840 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: are we doing? Like just just let's get up there, 841 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: Let's let's stop, Zeke. Let's make sure that that you know, 842 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: we can we can get closer to the line. You're 843 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,399 Speaker 1: talking about the Tennessee sideline. Yes, I mean, like, let's 844 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: let's not let these guys beat us on the outside. 845 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,399 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not gonna throw a deep quarterback won't 846 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: throw it that far. So let's just let's get up 847 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: there close, let's shut down Beasley, and we'll live with 848 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: whatever Cooper does to us. So I think it's everybody. 849 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: I think. I still think it's the passing game, whether 850 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: it be the quarterback throwing into them, the receivers that 851 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,479 Speaker 1: don't get open that well, it's that whole thing. Yeah, 852 00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: it's never gonna just be one person. I mean, Connor 853 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 1: Williams struggled again. We thought he might. Drell Casey pretty 854 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: good player. You had a holding penalty. They had a 855 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: hard time containing those guys in the middle. Lyle Collins 856 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: struggled again, but Dak held the ball for an unbelievable 857 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: amount of time on several of those. Some of them 858 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 1: were busts, some of them are bad plays by the quarterback. 859 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,800 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the tape, but sure, maybe the receivers 860 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: couldn't get open again. Although that's super disheartening considering the 861 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: firepower you added to your receiver corps during the bye week. 862 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: But all that stuff goes hand in hand. I thought 863 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 1: I thought Dak's pocket presence was really discouraging. But the 864 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: I mean the offensive line certainly did not play, you know, 865 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: up to the caliber you would you would hope. I 866 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: know that as the season began, we all assumed that 867 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: when you had a rookie guy like Connor Williams that 868 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: you're thrown into this line, that there'd be some growing pains. 869 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: Have you, guys, gotten to the point now where you 870 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,879 Speaker 1: still believe, Hey, these are just growing pains. By next year, 871 00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: he will be a much better player, or you start 872 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: him sour on the idea that he will be a 873 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: good player for the Cowboys. Not souring on that. I 874 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:13,359 Speaker 1: do think that he um, you know, it's one thing 875 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: to play two different positions. I still think it would 876 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: be it would be nice to see a full offseason 877 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 1: with him playing guard. I mean, with with a guard's body. 878 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: I think that he needs. He's young, he needs to 879 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: kind of grow into that ull. He'll get there, I believe, 880 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: But I'm not soured on him yet. I don't know 881 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,839 Speaker 1: if he's playing the right position for him. Maybe maybe 882 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,399 Speaker 1: maybe he'd be better at right tackle. But if they're 883 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: gonna make him a guard, just commit to it. And 884 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: he needs that full off season. Yeah, I mean you 885 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 1: want to see rookies arrows trend up as the season goes, 886 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: and he Connor Williams has just he's been a straight 887 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: line the whole time. I mean, he is what he is, 888 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 1: and honestly that that shouldn't be surprising to us, because 889 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,320 Speaker 1: you can't improve what he needs to prove in the 890 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 1: six day grind of a season. You just can't. He 891 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: needs to add strength, he needs to add size in 892 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: order to be able to hold up against those type 893 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 1: of players. And you mean, these guys lift during the season, 894 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 1: but it's like a thirty minute session just to kind 895 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: of you know, you're not gonna pump. Yeah, you're not 896 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: doing real work in the weight room during the season. 897 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: You're adding bulk, right, That is what we do the season, 898 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 1: That's what the off seasons for um. So I still 899 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: think all things considered, he's he's been fine. He's certainly 900 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 1: had his share of struggles. I mean, I get it, 901 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,879 Speaker 1: you know, move him to tackle, move by All to guard. 902 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 1: Maybe it would work, Maybe it wouldn't. I hate the 903 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: idea of throwing a new planet both of these guys 904 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: after they've committed to this. I'm not convinced it would 905 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: look a lot different, specially in the middle of season. Yeah, 906 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: and so I just I think you just kind of 907 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: got to stick with it and you are what you are. 908 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm maybe you know, I've heard the idea thrown around 909 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: Xavier Suaphilo has been on the sideline for eight weeks 910 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: and you know, maybe you know, he's a veteran guy, 911 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,839 Speaker 1: maybe he could give you a better look, But I 912 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: kind of doubt it. And I think I think Connor 913 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: needs to play if he's going to get better. So 914 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 1: I just think you're kind of you are what you 915 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: are for eight more games, and I don't I don't 916 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: think that's what's sinking the season though, you know, I don't. 917 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 1: I mean, I think Connor Williams has played well enough 918 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 1: for them to have a better record than they do 919 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 1: right now. Ye, all right. As far as Dak, I 920 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: start thinking, okay, well, anticipation and reflexes only comes with experience. 921 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,839 Speaker 1: And then I started thinking of like ways to justified 922 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 1: him in that aspect. You know, he's still young, he's 923 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: still learning. But then at the same time you go 924 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,240 Speaker 1: back and it's like, okay, you're in your third year. Now, 925 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: those things shoes start coming in natural at this point 926 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: and when you start seeing him hesitate, and then I 927 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: start thinking, Okay, well maybe it comes back from the 928 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 1: coaching where now you're just not feeling one hundred percent. 929 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: Although he's a very confident guy, maybe you're just not 930 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,799 Speaker 1: feeling one hundred percent confident and comfortable. If you don't 931 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: fully trust the play caller and whoever's talking in your ear, 932 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: then that's going to create some kind of hesitation in 933 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 1: you and doubt yourself. So there's so many little things 934 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: that play into this whole mess, but it's kind of 935 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 1: hard to figure out at this point. That was exactly 936 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: the point I was making when it came to the 937 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,720 Speaker 1: end experience of the guy that's talking and that's talking 938 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,279 Speaker 1: to him regularly is I think Dak this year has 939 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: been far more tentative than we've seen him be. I 940 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,399 Speaker 1: think he's been not as you know. There have been 941 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,359 Speaker 1: so many times this year where we've seen him kind 942 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 1: of standing back there and you're like, pull the trigger, 943 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: and he's just not willing to do it. And I 944 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: don't know that we saw that as much a year 945 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 1: before last, and last year up before the Atlanta game, 946 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 1: you didn't really see a whole out of that either. 947 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,400 Speaker 1: And so it just makes me wonder if again, the 948 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: experience of the quarterback coach is not a part of 949 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,439 Speaker 1: the problem. I'm gonna throw something out there and also 950 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 1: give a shout out to my dad. My dad is 951 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 1: probably listening. He listens to us every every day. He 952 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 1: loves watching us. Uh. He's a really good pool player. Okay, 953 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 1: he know, he's really good. He's been in tournaments and 954 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,959 Speaker 1: stuff like that, and he knows how one shot leads 955 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 1: to this shot leads to this shot. Lead. You gotta 956 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 1: be three or four shots ahead if you want to 957 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 1: be good. If it's if your kicker just missed a 958 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 1: field goal, it's up seven to nothing, are you gonna 959 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 1: go four fourth fourth down on the four yard line? 960 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: Are you gonna go for it? Probably not, you're gonna 961 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: take a tip. But if it's fourth and goal from 962 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,399 Speaker 1: the one, you're gonna go for it. Yeah, I think 963 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 1: so too. Go up fourteen nothing. That's the kind of 964 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: crap that that that I think this team doesn't do 965 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 1: well at all. It's first and goal from the four 966 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 1: yard line, and you run a counter with all of 967 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,759 Speaker 1: your linemen coming here. It takes four days to get there. 968 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 1: They finally do and the defenses are fast. They get 969 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,080 Speaker 1: there that. Now you're on the sixth. Now you're gonna throw, 970 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 1: and if you throw, now Dak goes a pick and 971 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 1: they know you're gonna throw. By the way, at this point, 972 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,839 Speaker 1: you run north, you get the ball, and you get north, 973 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 1: and you know, can we get That's the comptop this 974 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 1: time I'm talking about about putting an antoine woods in there. 975 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 1: Give me some beef because tight ends are not big 976 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 1: enough to do anything. Give me some beef. Your fullbacks versatile, 977 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean your fullback is a is a 978 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:16,120 Speaker 1: you know he's he's not a physical like fullback. It's 979 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: more of an h back. He needs some beef to 980 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 1: go north. Now it's second and goal from the two. 981 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,359 Speaker 1: I got okay, do it again, eat some beef. Now 982 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,919 Speaker 1: it's third and goal from the one. Now it's fourth. 983 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 1: I mean whatever, Now Dad can go, let somebody push 984 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 1: him from the back and you can score. But like 985 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 1: it's first, that play lost the game for him, two 986 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: yard lost to Zeke, completely lost the game. You get 987 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 1: a fourteen nothing on them. The way that things going, 988 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,240 Speaker 1: I like things a little bit different, But you gotta 989 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 1: play two to three shots ahead, not just let's just 990 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,719 Speaker 1: run this counter play here. I mean, why it takes 991 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 1: forever down there? Yeah? No, I mean they never, very 992 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 1: rarely does it seem like they make a play call 993 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 1: with the next play in mind. You know, it's very reactionary, 994 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,760 Speaker 1: and that's been the case. I mean only tangentially related. 995 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,880 Speaker 1: But you see another misque with the challenges. You know, 996 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 1: you just you challenge them, miss the challenge and lose 997 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: the time out earlier in the weird that was a 998 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: weird play. I didn't have a problem with that challenge 999 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,279 Speaker 1: though for some reason, because I I it was hard 1000 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 1: to see in real time and in those kind of instances, 1001 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,200 Speaker 1: it was a huge play. Gave him a first down, 1002 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,520 Speaker 1: and so it's just to me, that's where I look 1003 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 1: at him, like, yeah, you could probably nitpick that one, 1004 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 1: but in my opinion, taking a shot at that challenge, 1005 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't a huge deal. Tavon aust that had a 1006 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,839 Speaker 1: catch a couple of games go, I don't remember the game. 1007 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 1: Right in front of Jason Houston down got hit out 1008 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: of bounds and the ball rolls out and he's looking 1009 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 1: at it like, well, I think the cat, So he 1010 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: challenges it. The balls rolling out and that's the reason 1011 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: why he didn't get the call. Same thing on that play, 1012 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 1: Cheeto had the ball so it rolled into and so 1013 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what he thinks take a shot, right, Yeah, yeah, 1014 00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 1: I tell you the play before that, though, and I 1015 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:54,759 Speaker 1: agreed with the call. I don't think he really made 1016 00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,879 Speaker 1: the catch. How big? How big is that? I mean, 1017 00:48:58,040 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: because you just threw a pick and now all of 1018 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,319 Speaker 1: a sudden you have a chance to get the ball back. 1019 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith had it back, you chanced to go you know, 1020 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 1: ten fourteen nothing again, Yep, I think that was a 1021 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,799 Speaker 1: huge play in the game, those two right there. We 1022 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 1: didn't spend as much time as they're talking about the defense, 1023 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: but I think we have to spend at least a 1024 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,879 Speaker 1: little time. Yesterday they gave up most points they've given 1025 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,720 Speaker 1: up all season. They give up twenty eight. They started 1026 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: the game with two turnovers, which you're the worst offense 1027 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 1: that they've played this year. Maybe the Giants are worse. 1028 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 1: But yes, I get your point. In the definitely in 1029 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 1: the running, definitely in the running. But that means But 1030 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 1: the other parts of that, though, you gotta remember, is 1031 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 1: that was not by far the worst quarterback that they've played, 1032 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 1: and you start looking at the quarterbacks that have beaten 1033 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,440 Speaker 1: in the season, you can start seeing where when they 1034 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: play a quarterback that's pretty good, it's gonna be a 1035 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,400 Speaker 1: tough day. And they play a quarterback that's not so good, 1036 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 1: then they usually have a decent shot, right. And I 1037 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 1: think yesterday that quarterback and I said it to you, Nick, 1038 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 1: I think Mariota's a lot better than we gave him 1039 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 1: credit for. He played a really, really good game. In 1040 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 1: my opinion, yesterday, I don't remember saying that he's bad. 1041 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,399 Speaker 1: He's I didn't say that either. It is wildly inconsistent, 1042 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: and today was Yesterday was a good day. The other 1043 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 1: trend is, uh, they have not done well against quarterbacks 1044 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,920 Speaker 1: that can get outside the pocket and extend plays. And 1045 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 1: that's not just I mean, thirty two yards is not 1046 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,239 Speaker 1: going to break your back. Deshaun Watson didn't run all 1047 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: over him. But if the if a guy can extend plays, 1048 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,839 Speaker 1: get outside the pocket, do things with his feet, or 1049 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 1: you know, make plays on the run, it's it's a true. 1050 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 1: It's a problem for them. Cam killed him, Russell Wilson 1051 00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,520 Speaker 1: played you and kill him, but he played well. DeShawn 1052 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,320 Speaker 1: now Mariota. Yeah, yeah, before we really get talking about 1053 00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 1: that defense, which problem was on third down of course, 1054 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,240 Speaker 1: but um, we might be overlooking like the real issue 1055 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 1: of the game because like one of the first tweets 1056 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: that I got from a fan was like, how do 1057 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:48,120 Speaker 1: they expect to win with those bad luck blues? That 1058 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,959 Speaker 1: might be something we needed dress. That was a little 1059 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,319 Speaker 1: bit Their uniforms look awesome. I like him, but that 1060 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 1: was weird to me because I don't know, I'm not 1061 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 1: used to the Cowboys choosing I was surprised unless it's 1062 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,320 Speaker 1: maybe Thanksgiving. Usually, if they're gonna get the choice of 1063 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,320 Speaker 1: what uniform they're gonna wear, it's gonna be the whites. 1064 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 1: So it's a little bit odd to me that they 1065 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 1: chose blue. But hey, you know, I'm one of the 1066 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 1: coaches said, Hey, the players love it. They love that. 1067 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 1: Get excited. They fired up at last for what about 1068 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,880 Speaker 1: a half a quarter? Yeah, they looked really good for 1069 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 1: that half a quarter though, They did real good. Yeah, 1070 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 1: well you did get to the point of the defense. 1071 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 1: You talk about third downs. That's probably the worst third 1072 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,479 Speaker 1: down performance from a defense from this defense that we've seen. 1073 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 1: They were eleven and fourteen or the Titans were eleven 1074 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 1: and fourteen on third downs. There was one point in 1075 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 1: the I think early fourth quarter, maybe late third thing 1076 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 1: was about early fourth though. At that point Tennessee was 1077 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 1: eight of eleven on third downs. And get this, six 1078 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 1: out of those eight that they converted were third and 1079 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 1: seven or more. You get to third and seven, you 1080 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 1: feel like you've done your job. You've held them on 1081 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 1: two downs to three yards or less, and the Cowboys 1082 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,719 Speaker 1: couldn't get off the field on six of those eight. 1083 00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 1: That is excuse there, But you've got that's where you 1084 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 1: need your best pass rushers. That's where that's where that's 1085 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,239 Speaker 1: where they're they're they're missing. Now. Daniel Ross played in 1086 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,920 Speaker 1: an outstanding game. Yeah, look at his stats. It's unbelievable. 1087 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 1: And there's a there's a sack in there that you know. 1088 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 1: That was another huge play in the game, Tennessee calling 1089 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,480 Speaker 1: that time out. Yeah, that's a forty six yard difference. 1090 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 1: That was ridiculous. DeMarcus Lawrence played really good too. He 1091 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,399 Speaker 1: did a great game, which, yeah, I have a hard 1092 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 1: time faulting the pass rush they got to They got 1093 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 1: to mariot to four times. Titans only average three point 1094 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 1: five yards per carry like they were active. They got 1095 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:35,640 Speaker 1: a takeaway. I mean, as much credit as we've given 1096 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,800 Speaker 1: them and as good as they've been, Like back seven 1097 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,840 Speaker 1: was not awesome yesterday. What I mean, I I'm done. 1098 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm I apologize to everybody. I'm not superstitious, but like 1099 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm not going to be dismissive if any 1100 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:50,440 Speaker 1: more opponents. Because I sat here to the other I 1101 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,560 Speaker 1: was like, wide receivers are terrible. Like their wide receivers 1102 00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 1: worked this second they did, they were they and I 1103 00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,040 Speaker 1: mean what their leading receiver only had sixty yards. It's 1104 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 1: not like somebody just blew up, but like they just 1105 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,719 Speaker 1: made all of the important catches when they needed to. 1106 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 1: And I'd never even I mean Taywan Taylor Batson, Like 1107 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,759 Speaker 1: who are these guys? I was really surprised by that. 1108 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,600 Speaker 1: Can I play the host for just the second ask 1109 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 1: a question? Absolutely? Um, Well, Sean Lee play another game 1110 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't, 1111 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,839 Speaker 1: But that depends on I know Jason Garrett said it's 1112 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,360 Speaker 1: gonna be a little while for him. I mean that 1113 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,480 Speaker 1: just depends like if he if he can goes to 1114 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,960 Speaker 1: I R. I would guess not is he at that 1115 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 1: point where where Romo was when they finally say that 1116 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 1: enough's enough, where no matter how good a player is, 1117 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,320 Speaker 1: Because I still believe Shan Lee is a really good player, 1118 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,359 Speaker 1: but it's one of those situations where you just can't 1119 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,719 Speaker 1: trust him to stay healthy and he's now getting hurt 1120 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 1: on very routine plays. He's just running and the hamstring pulls. 1121 00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 1: So is it just at that point where the Cowboys 1122 00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,279 Speaker 1: have to just say it's we just can't trust you 1123 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 1: to be hop's I mean, as long as we're being 1124 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,760 Speaker 1: brutally honest, that's They didn't used to have that option, 1125 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,040 Speaker 1: because the drop off and play was so severe, right, 1126 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 1: Layton Vanderesh and Jalen Smith weren't amazing all throughout that game. 1127 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,879 Speaker 1: I mean we talked about Jalen everybody else, by the way, 1128 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 1: but the drop off is not as severe as it 1129 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,239 Speaker 1: used to be. You've got guys who can do that, 1130 00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,560 Speaker 1: and that's why you drafted Vanderesh in the first place. 1131 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,560 Speaker 1: You know. But but before the injury, the touchdown you 1132 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:31,279 Speaker 1: know Lewis Dion Lewis eighteen yards um that was you know, 1133 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,280 Speaker 1: if you saw Sean Lee on that play, he couldn't 1134 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:38,239 Speaker 1: get there. I mean, no, I get Lewis is a quick, 1135 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,759 Speaker 1: fast back, but the angle he took, you know, it 1136 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 1: really wasn't that close. That was one of the few 1137 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,799 Speaker 1: plays you really see where like wow, he just he 1138 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 1: just couldn't make that play. Um again, we all love 1139 00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 1: Sean Lee, but I just wonder it's gonna be a 1140 00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,360 Speaker 1: few weeks. Like you said, if this is a situation 1141 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,680 Speaker 1: where it's three or four weeks and you can still 1142 00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,080 Speaker 1: bring him back, He's certainly he's a talented enough player 1143 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,400 Speaker 1: that it's worth it. He can still help this team. Like, don't, 1144 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,239 Speaker 1: don't come at me like Shaun Lee's just all of 1145 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,719 Speaker 1: a sudden, just this terrible football player. But he's not 1146 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 1: if I mean, if he needs to go to I 1147 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 1: R and what it's week it's week ten now, like 1148 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,359 Speaker 1: he can't come back rights if he needs to go, 1149 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I would not be surprised that you can 1150 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 1: save seven million dollars on the cap if he's not 1151 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 1: on this team. It would not surprise me. But I 1152 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 1: just I don't I need to know the severity of 1153 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:29,399 Speaker 1: the injury. If it's only if it's only a three 1154 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 1: or four week deal, then how the season is going? Ok? 1155 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,359 Speaker 1: At that point, it's not even four weeks. Let's say 1156 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 1: they're one in three in that four week span, so 1157 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:41,359 Speaker 1: they're four and eight, and the more games he's out, 1158 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 1: if these young linebackers are playing well as they've played 1159 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,200 Speaker 1: most of this year, I know yesterday was not a 1160 00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:49,200 Speaker 1: good representation, but most of this year they've played really 1161 00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,759 Speaker 1: good football. If they get back to playing really good 1162 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,239 Speaker 1: football and they play good football while he's out, then 1163 00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 1: it does start to beg the question, Hey, with another 1164 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,239 Speaker 1: year of experience, are they even that much better next year? 1165 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,840 Speaker 1: And do you really need to to take on having 1166 00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 1: Sean Lee and not knowing whether you know at this 1167 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: moment the next moment, if he's gonna be hurt again, 1168 00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 1: you just as soon glad to get a younger guy. 1169 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,480 Speaker 1: Third fourth, fifth round, and you've got a lineback and 1170 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,319 Speaker 1: court you feel pretty good about it. I would not 1171 00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,640 Speaker 1: surprise me. So, all right, guys, we'll be back tomorrow. 1172 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 1: Something to watch tomorrow. We will. We'll get into some 1173 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,919 Speaker 1: some talk of the Philadelphia Eagles.
