Speaker 2: Absolutely? Ready for a break?

7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 5: Yeah?

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,760

Speaker 5: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com

Speaker 7: It is Tuesday, January sixteenth, twenty twenty four, Season nineteen,

12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 7: Episode number one eight. Welcome to the latest edition of

13
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 7: The Break. We are live from the s WBC Morriage

14
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 7: Studios at the Star and today we're going to take

15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 7: a big picture look. We are going to hash through

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 7: everything that has happened in the debacle that was Cowboys

17
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 7: Wild Card playoff game versus the Packers. They lose forty

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 7: eight to thirty two. Score doesn't really tell the story

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 7: of that game, but we're gonna break that down and

20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 7: we're gonna talk about some of the finer points of

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 7: the game, some things that maybe can put that in perspective.

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 7: What you actually saw on Sunday was not pretty. But again,

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 7: we're gonna go through it. We're gonna break it all

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 7: down for you guys. Towards the end of the show,

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 7: we'll also have a little bit of discussion around the coaches,

26
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 7: around Mike McCarthy, around Dan Quinn and what they contributed

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 7: to what you saw on Sunday and what it looks

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 7: like for them going forward and how you evaluate that.

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 7: So we'll do that throughout the show. But let's start first.

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 7: I want to get some general overviews. And I know

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 7: obviously it wasn't a good day for the Cowboys, but

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 7: just as a big picture, what was your takeaway? What's

33
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 7: your big picture takeaway from that game?

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 8: Patrick will start with you Cowboys are kind of back

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 8: in purgatory, and it's a horrible place to be because

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 8: you know what direction do you go from here?

37
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: Right?

38
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 8: And we'll know touch on the coaching situation going forward,

39
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 8: But when you have a coach and a staff on

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 8: both sides of the bar that put you in position

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 8: to overcome adversity like losing Trayvon Diggs and players like that,

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 8: and you deliver another twelve win season, your second division

43
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 8: title in three seasons. But not only do you not

44
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 8: make the playoff run, which was basically an obligation at

45
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 8: this point, but you lose and the fashion in which

46
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 8: you lost, and to whom you lost and where you lost.

47
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 8: It could not have been more of a meltdown. It

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 8: was a nuclear meltdown, absolute shared noble at at and

49
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 8: T Stadium. So now fear Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, Will McLay.

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 8: You're sitting there and you're trying to figure out, well,

51
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 8: what do you do? Do you move on to a

52
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 8: new head coach? And obviously there's no guarantees there, no

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 8: matter how big and fancy the name is. Dak Prescott

54
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 8: admittedly said he sucked on Sunday, and he did. He said,

55
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 8: if you're going to put McCarthy on the hot seat,

56
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 8: put me on the hot seat. We will. But what

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 8: does that look like? Because he's up for a contract

58
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 8: negotiation Cowboys, and on the defensive side of the ball,

59
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 8: dan Quinn, he's set to undertake his interviews. Now right,

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 8: we talk about the stock of a head coach and

61
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 8: how dan Quinn was rightfully being courted. Stock took a massive,

62
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 8: massive hit for dan Quinn. I had no rhyme or

63
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 8: reason for what I saw schematically against the Green Bay Packers.

64
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 8: They basically kneeled for four quarters and let Jordan Love

65
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 8: do whatever he wanted to do. This was a failure

66
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 8: on every possible level by everyone involved not named Jake Ferguson.

67
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 8: Jake Ferguson and maybe two or three other people are

68
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 8: the only ones I could point to in this particular

69
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 8: game and say they left it all on the field.

70
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 8: Offensive line did well as well, so I'll give it

71
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 8: to the offensive not Tony Pollard did well as well.

72
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 8: But for the most part, your defensive players, Michael.

73
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: Where were you? Yeah?

74
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 8: Where were you? Penalty showed up? Dak Where were you?

75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 8: Where was the MVPDT wasn't there at all? This offensive

76
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 8: play calling that had been so great most of the season,

77
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 8: where was it? Defensive play calling great most of the season?

78
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: Where was it.

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 8: So at at the end of the day. That's where

80
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 8: the Cowboys are. Its purgatory. Don't envy the decisions they

81
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 8: have to make. But they got to make them, and

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 8: they got to make them quickly.

83
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: You know what, Well said?

84
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 9: Patrick Well said, the I think the thing that that

85
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 9: that was Green Bay had a really a great game plan.

86
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 9: They had a game plan both offensively and defensively, how

87
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 9: they wanted to attack your quarterback, how they wanted to

88
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 9: play and coverage. Some of the looks that had been

89
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 9: given DAK problems throughout the season. You know, Joe Berry

90
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 9: basically rolled the dice and said, you know what, I'm

91
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 9: going to play certain coverages here and see if I

92
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 9: can get something out of it. I think that, you know,

93
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 9: when you talk about the you know, the one of

94
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 9: the interceptions that DAK had where that disconnect, that early

95
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 9: disconnect with CD in this game and they run the

96
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 9: double slant and they throw the interception off that which

97
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 9: turns into the pick six. The savage that to me

98
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 9: was one of those Okay, I'm gonna try and get

99
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 9: you going throws. I'm going to try and get you know,

100
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 9: maybe that wasn't the best place to put the football,

101
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 9: you know, and it goes back to bite you. That's

102
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 9: just good scheming by you know, by the by the

103
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 9: Packers there to kind of be in the right place

104
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 9: the right time to force a turnover there. They did

105
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 9: a really good job of handling your offense, you know,

106
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 9: for the for three quarters and then you know it

107
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 9: turned into garbage time. But the defense that that's the

108
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 9: thing that was the most disconcerting to me about this,

109
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 9: the way that that that they played, because I know

110
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 9: there's times where we've seen and they've tried to put

111
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 9: band aids on amputations. Here at linebacker, it's just been

112
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 9: a it's a struggle. They don't have the personnel to

113
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 9: play the way they want to play, you know, and

114
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 9: they play so much dime because they have to. They

115
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 9: don't have any other players. I mean, Bell's one of

116
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 9: your better players. He's not a linebacker. You know, we're

117
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 9: learning on the We're learning on the run here with Clark,

118
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 9: you know, I mean, he's learning.

119
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: He some days he's really good. In other days he's

120
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: not so good.

121
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 9: You know, when they're knocking down you know, Jonathan Hankins

122
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 9: on the ground and double team in him, and you know,

123
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 9: there's just a lot of things. You have to tip

124
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 9: your cap to Green Bay for the way they schemed it.

125
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 9: They tacked the middle of the field.

126
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: They knew that, you know.

127
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 9: They saw that that curse a as a true free safety.

128
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: It's not an answer for you right there. You know.

129
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 9: I think there's dan Quinn had just he was trying

130
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 9: to put players in place to make up for the

131
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 9: lack of some of the players he didn't have, and

132
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 9: I think it ultimately caught up to him at the end.

133
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 9: Green Bay schemed, you really really.

134
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: Well in this football game, you know, and and.

135
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 9: You give their quarterback a lot of credit too, you know,

136
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 9: he he threw several passes in the teeth of a rush,

137
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 9: which the Cowboys have been good at all year. But it,

138
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 9: you know, ultimately, it's what caused the Cowboys to lose

139
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 9: this football game. They just weren't able. They just were

140
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 9: undermanned in a lot of areas. And it like the

141
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 9: Old House of Cards just kind of came tombling down

142
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 9: on them in this game. I think we saw that

143
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 9: they were playing with fire all year and they finally

144
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 9: got burned in this game.

145
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 10: Well I'm gonna watch what I say because I don't

146
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 10: want to get fired today. But well your jinxed, so

147
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 10: you know what people started tweeting on me. I'm like, sure, sure, yes,

148
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 10: that they lost because I jinxed it. Sure they've lost

149
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 10: all these years because I opened my mouth. Sure, if

150
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 10: I had that much power, I probably wouldn't be sitting here.

151
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 10: If my mouth had that much power, I'll be you

152
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 10: talk to him swimming in a jack kusie full of cash.

153
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 10: But anyways, I agree with everything you guys said, and

154
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 10: the funny, crazy twisted thing is that in that game,

155
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 10: everything that was that the Cowboys tended to do well

156
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 10: went wrong, and the areas that they tended to do

157
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 10: bad went somewhat well. So including oh my god, I

158
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 10: almost call him brand Maher Brandon Aubrey included him. But

159
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 10: it's just it's I don't know what to do with

160
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 10: my life right now. This week, I'm trying to because,

161
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 10: and I've said this off the air, every single part

162
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 10: of me had zero doubt that they were gonna win

163
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 10: this game. And of course that's not being me being

164
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 10: naive or stupid of like the past history, but I

165
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 10: truly believe that this was such a great matchup for

166
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 10: them to start the playoffs against a team like the

167
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 10: Green Bay Packers, and it wasn't the case. I don't

168
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 10: think it matter who the opponent was. The way the

169
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 10: Cowboys played. The Cowboys played was just absolutely terrible. And

170
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 10: it's one of those things that now we got to

171
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 10: talk about and like try to figure out, Okay, how

172
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 10: do you how do you move past this? And I'm like, okay,

173
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 10: part of me is like we know the drill with

174
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 10: the during this so many years, But at the same time,

175
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 10: it's like, right, now I literally have no answer, no

176
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 10: quick fix. Like everything in my mind right now seems

177
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 10: so like, oh, reconstructing or starting over from zero, Like

178
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 10: nothing seems like there would be like a change that

179
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 10: you currently make, even if there was to be a

180
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 10: change in the head coach position. There are so many

181
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 10: pieces that are about to change that it's hard to

182
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 10: visualize something that will get you to that next step

183
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 10: in the near future going into next year. And I

184
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 10: know we talked about it on one of our shows, Derek,

185
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 10: where we were talking about the now and the coaching

186
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 10: and dn quinn him having interviews and all of that,

187
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 10: and it's just so many moving parts that I really

188
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 10: thought this was the year if you were gonna do it,

189
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 10: this was gonna be the year where.

190
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, To be honest with you, that kind of

191
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 7: encapsulates my thoughts on this is there. You'd have to

192
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 7: go back to two thousand and seven for me to

193
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 7: find a game that a playoff game that was more

194
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 7: gut wrenching than this one. Because just like in two

195
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 7: thousand and seven, you were the top seed, you had

196
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 7: everything was laid out nicely for you had the team,

197
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 7: you had the home field advantage, everything worked to where

198
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 7: you should be able to exercise all those demons of

199
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 7: what has happened to this franchise since their championship days

200
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 7: in the nineties. And you go and have that game

201
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 7: against the Giants and you lose in the first round.

202
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 7: And I felt the same way about this game. I

203
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 7: look at the Packers and I'm like, this was a

204
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 7: good matchup for the Cowboys. You can't convince me that

205
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 7: schematically the Cowboys what they'd done all season didn't match

206
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 7: up nicely against this team. And everything had laid out

207
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 7: in a way to where you had everything clear all

208
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 7: the way up until you had to deal with San Francisco.

209
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 7: Do you see what happened at San Francisco for that

210
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 7: championship game if they didn't lose somewhere.

211
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 4: Along the way.

212
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 7: But the point was, like you, everything was laid out

213
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 7: nicely for you, and for whatever reason, they just couldn't

214
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 7: get it right in the first round. And that's the

215
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 7: part that's hard. And that's the part where when you

216
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 7: start talking about where do you move from here? I

217
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 7: don't think there's a lot of answers because you left

218
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 7: like almost dumbfounded, like how did this happen to be

219
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 7: able to even.

220
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 4: Understand where you need to go.

221
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 7: You gotta first understand, like how did it happen against

222
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 7: that team? And again I'm not trying to kill him.

223
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 7: Love played his butt off some of the throws he made.

224
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 7: That throw he made into the end zone like where

225
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 7: he was kind of yeah, that was an awesome throw,

226
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 7: Like you, you won't find a the vast majority of

227
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 7: the NFL quarterbacks in the NFL right now that can

228
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 7: make that kind of throw.

229
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 4: He played his butt off.

230
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: The fact matter is.

231
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 7: Though the Dallas Cowboys should have won that game. They

232
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 7: were the better team, and it's hard to say that,

233
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 7: but you look at it, and that's why we're all

234
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 7: so dumb founded, is because you look at it on

235
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 7: paper and you say, Down has more talent Dallas is.

236
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 4: You would think they have.

237
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 7: Better skime, You would think everything matches up for them

238
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 7: to have won that game, and for whatever reason, they

239
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 7: did not.

240
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 8: And that's why I don't I often don't get into

241
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 8: the whole the dialogue going into the playoffs of matchups

242
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 8: and things like that, because we all know matchups do

243
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 8: matter in the playoffs, but what matters more than matchups

244
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 8: is effort and execution and the complete lack of effort.

245
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 8: The complete lack of execution we saw from the Cowboys

246
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 8: would have gotten them blown out by every team in

247
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 8: the league at at and T Stadium or anywhere. You

248
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 8: see what happened to the Eagles in Tampa Bay. Lack

249
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 8: of effort, lack of execution. So it's not that the

250
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 8: Cowboys finally dropped a game at home, it's they didn't

251
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 8: show up on their own field in the first place.

252
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 8: And to Ambar and Derek's point, the thing that makes

253
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 8: this so difficult and dumbfounding is you look at the

254
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 8: loss to the forty nine ers, Okay, in last year,

255
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 8: that's January. You lose Tony Pollard, your most explosive player, Okay.

256
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 8: So then after that you could say, well, if you

257
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 8: had Pollard, Okay, Kellen Moore was the offensive coordinator in

258
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 8: the Green Bay game last year, you say, okay, well

259
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 8: if the offensive coordinator had done this differently, So what

260
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 8: do you do. You swap out the offensive coordinator. So

261
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 8: those types of changes have been made. But then you

262
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 8: look at what happened this past Sunday against the Packers,

263
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 8: and you don't have those things to point to. You

264
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 8: have to point at everything. So how do you fix everything?

265
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 8: You try to figure out, Like Derek said, what's the

266
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 8: root of it? And it's not lack of talent. They

267
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 8: definitely took some hits. They had, you know, size issues

268
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 8: at linebacker. Yeah, they took some hits. But this was

269
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 8: the perfect matchup for you. Where was your pressure up

270
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 8: front from your defensive line Michael Parsons and those guys.

271
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 4: In coverage George dropped back. We'll talk about that later,

272
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: but go ahead.

273
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 8: Jordan Love pressured only only four times. So in breaking

274
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 8: down like Science Lab I did last week, I said,

275
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 8: you have to get pressure from your front four on

276
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 8: Jordan Love, don't bring the blitz. They did not get pressure,

277
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 8: so then they panicked. Then they brought the blitz and

278
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 8: Jordan Love tormed to shreds every time they blitzed them.

279
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 8: And then when he had time two and a half

280
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 8: seconds or more, over two hundred almost three hundred yards,

281
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 8: three touchdowns, no interceptions, almost a perfect passer rating. Play

282
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 8: after play we saw we were sitting in the press box. Snap,

283
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 8: Why did he take him deep fade? Yeah, forty fifty

284
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 8: yard reception, third and six pre snap? Why are these

285
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 8: ten yards off the receiver? On there are so many

286
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 8: things you could point out that went wrong because almost

287
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 8: everything went wrong and not much went right. And when

288
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 8: that happens, it doesn't matter where you're playing, who you're playing.

289
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 8: It's unacceptable and it has to be fixed. But there

290
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 8: is no easy fix. And that's where we're left right now.

291
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 8: Which knob did you turn? When you got to turn

292
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 8: all the knobs?

293
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 7: All right, let's take a's say, our first break when

294
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 7: we come back, let's dive into the offense a little bit.

295
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 7: We'll talk about Dak Prescott and his day. As he said,

296
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 7: he didn't play well that game, but we'll talk about

297
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 7: what some of the more specific things that went wrong

298
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 7: for the Cowboys offense a little be backed out this

299
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 7: Cowboys dot Com radio.

300
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 11: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

301
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 11: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

302
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 11: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

303
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 11: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

304
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 11: But the good news is Todd has at and T

305
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 11: five g. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

306
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 11: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

307
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 11: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

308
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 11: T five G Fast, reliable, Secure, It's not complicated.

349
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 7: to you by blockchain dot Com, Dak Prescott on Sunday

350
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 7: was forty one or sixty sixty eight percent completions, complete

351
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 7: completion percentage four hundred three yards, passing, three touchdowns, two

352
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 7: interceptions at eighty nine point eight.

353
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 4: Rating a lot of that very hollow.

354
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 7: They really they seem to get things going at the

355
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 7: point in the game where the Packers are basically like,

356
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 7: just don't let them get anything quick, and so they

357
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 7: racked up a lot of yards even some points. But

358
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 7: if you look at the games holistically, and let's really

359
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 7: take that first half where I think that's where it

360
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 7: all went downhill, what would you say was the biggest

361
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 7: problem for the offense and Dak Prescott on Sunday.

362
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 8: I'll say this quickly and all though right to Brian

363
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 8: o Ambar. Brian mentioned it in his first description of

364
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 8: what went wrong, that connection between Dak and set Lamb

365
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 8: that's been so explosive all season. It was not there.

366
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 8: It was ice freaking cold. They could not get on

367
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 8: the same page to save their lives. Right, Well, he

368
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 8: was trying to force it, which was probably number one,

369
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 8: but at the same time, miscommunications on the routes and

370
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 8: you know what, the anticipation that was normally always there

371
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 8: for those two it just wasn't there. And then you

372
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 8: started to see CD get frustrated because they just couldn't

373
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 8: get it together. So for me, there's a lot of

374
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 8: things you can point to, but that because they couldn't

375
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 8: get that motor going, everything else just started kind of

376
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 8: the crumble after that.

377
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that I think it really started. Dak

378
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 9: tried to throw the ball to the middle there to

379
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 9: the CD on third down, and CD really didn't have

380
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 9: a chance. I mean, he extended Dak both feet off

381
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 9: the ground. He's looking to his left. CD's probably not

382
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 9: expecting the ball, and then all of a sudden, he's

383
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 9: trying to Now Dak's like, okay, I got to try

384
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 9: and make a play here.

385
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 2: So they try and get in the middle. It doesn't work.

386
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 9: They come back and they throw what the play is

387
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 9: called sprint right option, where Dak rolls to his right

388
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 9: and Lamb is on the running.

389
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: Along the silen. It's kind of run a little bit.

390
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 9: Of a curl router end route, and Dak lets the

391
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 9: ball fly before CD even breaks and it got to

392
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 9: CD so fast that he really couldn't even adjust, you know.

393
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 9: So I think that I think the disconnect really happened.

394
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 9: When you you looked at a play. They were going

395
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 9: to run a pivot route where where CD breaks in

396
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 9: and Dak expects him to break in then out, and

397
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 9: he throws the ball the outside. And after the play

398
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 9: you look at it, Dak, He's got palms up at CD, like, bro,

399
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 9: what's going.

400
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: On here today?

401
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 9: You know, at that point in time, it then be

402
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 9: kind of became and then we had you know, he

403
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 9: didn't have a catch until right at the two minute warning.

404
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, And so it was a rough day.

405
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 9: And I think that to me, Green Bay did a

406
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 9: really nice job with their coverages. I think they frustrated

407
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 9: CD a little bit with it. I think they frustrated Dak.

408
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 9: He gave him some different looks. When you play what

409
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 9: they we call that cover four where it's all quarter coverages.

410
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 2: You got fourg to say you got four.

411
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 9: You know, everybody's covering four in a deep part of

412
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 9: the field, and then you take your linebackers and you

413
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 9: run them in underneath in the wide, and another quarter of.

414
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: The field's taken taken away from you.

415
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 9: This seems like a difficult defense for Dallas to deal

416
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 9: with when it comes to their route combinations, and I

417
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 9: think it makes it difficult for the quarterback when he

418
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 9: doesn't see it clean, you know, he anticipates throws, but

419
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 9: it when that that kind of that coverage gives him

420
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 9: a little bit of problem. And green Bay stuck with it.

421
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 9: They did they they went with it. You know, like

422
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 9: half the first I kind of kicked the fourth quarter

423
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 9: out of this game for Dak because it's the game

424
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 9: was you know, it was it turned into stats at

425
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 9: the end, and it's but if you look at the

426
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 9: first three quarters though, the way they played coverage against him,

427
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 9: the way they covered CD and it wasn't traveling coverage

428
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 9: and stuff like that. They caught a really frustrated receiver.

429
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 9: They caught a quarterback that was dealing with a lot

430
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 9: of the problems of seeing and reading where it needed

431
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 9: to be and the route combinations. Might got an absolutely

432
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 9: no rhythm as a play caller. They just didn't have that.

433
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 9: You know, Green Bay seem to have a little bit

434
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 9: of rhythm to their play calling, the way they were

435
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 9: setting things up and getting to them. You know, the

436
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 9: play action game was big for them. Dallas didn't have

437
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 9: that rhythm to them, and I think it's it's you know,

438
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 9: Joe Berry much maligned at Green Bay for the way

439
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 9: they played defense this year, but he came up with

440
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 9: a brilliant plan and it did a great.

441
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: Job of frustrating the Cowboys. That was a big difference

442
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: in this game.

443
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 10: You know, I love Dak, I really really do, and

444
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 10: I think he's had his best career this season, but

445
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 10: he comes down to once again, can he show up

446
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 10: when it really matters in imporant games like this. And

447
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 10: the crazy thing is we've actually seen it this season.

448
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 10: For example, the game against Philly out there, an away

449
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 10: game where even though they lost, Dak was one of

450
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 10: the very few players that you saw him really fighting

451
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 10: and putting carrying things on his back. And in this game,

452
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 10: he just he just wasn't there mentally. And it wasn't

453
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 10: a game where and Patrick you mentioned the O line,

454
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 10: It wasn't a game where he was constantly under pressure,

455
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 10: nothing like they haven't dealt with all throughout the season.

456
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 10: It was the old line did a solid job. Dak

457
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 10: wasn't constantly under pressure, but you could see him that

458
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 10: that quality that you love so much about Dak as

459
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 10: a so like as a leader and so focused and confident. Yeah,

460
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 10: it wasn't it wasn't there. You can see him right

461
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 10: from the beginning just kind of lost a little bit

462
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 10: too much in his head where he's just thinking too

463
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 10: much and now he's just throwing the ball to see

464
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 10: if he gets kind of lucky. Lets let's just let's

465
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 10: just give this a try, and it wasn't working.

466
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 11: So I don't really know what.

467
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 10: To pinpoint exactly, because it's it's something we haven't really

468
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 10: seen from him this season, and then for us, you

469
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 10: have talked about the interception through the season and be like, well,

470
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 10: that's something that he's fixed, and then all of a

471
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 10: sudden it happens twice in a game like this.

472
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 2: I don't know.

473
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 10: I don't know how you justify much other than the

474
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 10: play calling and Dak not not being there for whatever reason.

475
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 7: I don't know.

476
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 9: Seeing Dak play great in a playoff game. Tampa's playoff

477
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 9: game last year was, I mean, and that's kind of

478
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 9: what you were hoping for going forward. You're like, listen, Okay,

479
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 9: Dak has had some playoff troubles before. But you know

480
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 9: that's the thing is you see that type of a

481
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 9: game and you're like, he's capable, He's capable of doing that,

482
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 9: and you know that's Unfortunately that's how they measure quarterbacks,

483
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 9: especially in this city, especially on this team. It's about championships,

484
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 9: it's about playoff wins, you know, and he's trending the wrong.

485
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: Way right now.

486
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 9: And you know, do I think that they're going to

487
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 9: move on for him from him? No, I really don't.

488
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 9: I don't see that.

489
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: You know. Uh, he's do a huge he's got a

490
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: huge cap number.

491
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 9: They've got to figure that out, you know, unless they've

492
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 9: got some creative way that I don't know about. You know,

493
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 9: I think Dak Prescott's going to likely sign an extension here.

494
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 9: But you know, there's things that they did very very

495
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 9: well this season, but there's there's there's something fundamentally wrong

496
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 9: in these playoff games, you know, and they've got to

497
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 9: figure that out. And and that's that's the But we've

498
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 9: said that now for three years. You know, there was

499
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 9: a time when we talked about this team lack of toughness.

500
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 9: That lack of toughness showed a little bit the other

501
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 9: day too. Remember after some of these you know, San

502
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 9: Francisco they beat him up today physically, they beat him

503
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 9: up today, you know, and you're kind of like going, okay,

504
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 9: well that that they you know, Green Bay physically beat

505
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 9: you up a little bit yesterday. And so is that

506
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 9: the players? Is that evaluation of the players. Are the

507
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 9: players not tough enough? If you play this game, you're tough.

508
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 9: But you know, you talk about look at the look

509
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 9: at the teams that are going forward in the playoffs.

510
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 9: You know there's a certain amount of mental toughness about

511
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 9: them and to be able to put things aside and

512
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 9: move forward. And this team lacks it right now in

513
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 9: the playoffs. They really do.

514
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's be clear about this.

515
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 7: And I know people are upset right now, and I

516
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 7: think a lot of people are questioning, you know, what

517
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 7: do you do with Dak Prescott. Let's be clear. There

518
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 7: are half the teams in this in the NFL that

519
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 7: don't have quarterback. There are not enough quarterbacks to go around.

520
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 7: It is one of the biggest challenges of the NFL.

521
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: Tune end of the draft show. We'll talk about a few.

522
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 7: Good but and the crazy part about it is even

523
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 7: at that if you wanted to, if you wanted to

524
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 7: as the Cowboys, let's say you wanted to restart this thing,

525
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 7: and you're like, we're going to go back to the

526
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 7: well and try to find a quarterback, right now you're

527
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 7: drafting twenty fourth, the likelihood that you're going to find

528
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 7: the guy you want it is not as great. Well,

529
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 7: when you're drafting at twenty fourth.

530
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: Well, here's here's the rub.

531
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 9: Now then, and you've got you know, you've got a

532
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 9: quarterback that you went and got from San Francisco.

533
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 2: Yep, you know that's the rub. Instead, can you fix him?

534
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 2: Because he's a project exactly, and there's and.

535
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 8: There's class taken on his contract.

536
00:25:59,240 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: You got to make it.

537
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 9: And see that's the thing about it right now is

538
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 9: you know, in a in a perfect world, you find

539
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 9: a way, you you learn about him and you're able

540
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 9: to do these things. There's people that believe that you

541
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 9: have Jordan Love sitting on your bench. You know, you

542
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 9: talk to the scouting world, they'll you get you've got

543
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 9: You've got a guy they've got. So that's the decision they.

544
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 4: Have to make, right, They got to figure that out.

545
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 9: They've got to figure that part out because maybe they

546
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 9: don't have to use the twenty fourth pick on a quarterback.

547
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 9: You know, maybe they they made they gave a pick

548
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 9: up in this draft to have an opportunity to work

549
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 9: with a guy for a year.

550
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 2: Right, You know and.

551
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 9: Maybe that's if if, if this thing turns because they're

552
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 9: out of options with Dak, I mean options of tags and.

553
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 2: All these other things. He's got all the leverage, he's

554
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 2: got all the leverage on you.

555
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 9: He's got a huge cap number, and there's really smart

556
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 9: guys and gals upstairs that'll figure this all out. But

557
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 9: there's there's also you know, they've protected themselves that if

558
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 9: they do make that decision and you do want to

559
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 9: start things over here, you go, yeah, that's that's a

560
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 9: guy they think a lot about if they want.

561
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: To start the thing.

562
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 7: And the point but the point real quick, the point

563
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 7: I'm making is you don't get rid of a quarterback

564
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 7: in the NFL unless you got a sure as sure

565
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 7: as you can be option. Now, if they get to

566
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 7: the point after they've worked with Lance to where they

567
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 7: feel like, yeah, he can be the guy, and we

568
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 7: think we got a young guy that can turn into that,

569
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 7: then great, you got options now. If you don't, if

570
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 7: that's not clear to you after working with him, then

571
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 7: I think NFL teams would be foolish. It's the reason

572
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 7: why guys like Kirk Cousins keep a job is because

573
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 7: he still is a good quarterback. He may not be great,

574
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 7: he may still have deficiencies, he may not be able

575
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 7: to play as well in some of those bigger games,

576
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 7: but he's good enough to where he gives you a chance.

577
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 4: Every Sunday. He gives you a chance. And that's the

578
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 4: part where you got to put it in context. Dak

579
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 4: had an MVP caliber season this year. He just didn't

580
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 4: play well in the playoffs. And by the way, that's.

581
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 7: Becoming the recurring theme, yes, is he hasn't play well

582
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 7: in the playoffs.

583
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 4: That's the and that's.

584
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 7: The part where you got to kind of figure out

585
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 7: is he ever going to get there or is it

586
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 7: going to be a situation where this is just who

587
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 7: he is and you're gonna have to deal with that.

588
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 7: But again, before you make that move, you got to

589
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 7: make really sure you got an option. Because I went

590
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 7: through those years when the Cowboys didn't have a quarterback.

591
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 7: That's hard when you go into every game knowing you

592
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 7: have no.

593
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 9: Quarterball and you're and you're absolutely right, and I was

594
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 9: right there with you sitting on the other side of

595
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 9: the room. But today, in today's football, you have a

596
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 9: better chance of getting a veteran quarterback than you did

597
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 9: in two thousand and two, two thousand and three, when

598
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 9: you know, when we were going five and eleven every year,

599
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 9: we couldn't find it. People are now moving on from

600
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 9: their quarterback. Look at golf Baker Mayfield. People are moving

601
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 9: on from their quarterbacks right now. The problem you don't

602
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 9: want to get into is do you want to say, Okay,

603
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 9: we're going to make this player a fifty million dollar

604
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 9: player and that's your that's fifty million out of your

605
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 9: your cap right there. And you know, and but if

606
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 9: you if you're doubting that the player can't get you

607
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 9: you through the playoffs, boy, that is a that is

608
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 9: a terrible feeling that you're.

609
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: Committing fifty million dollars.

610
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 9: To a position that you don't feel like or you

611
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 9: have questions if if that could get you through the playoffs,

612
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 9: just so you have a quarterback.

613
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: You know that.

614
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 9: That's but this organization, and I'll say this, they can

615
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 9: afford to make a decision on the quarterback, good or bad.

616
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 9: And I'll tell you why. The general manager here is

617
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 9: not going to get fired. And I mean that origin.

618
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 4: Take a chance.

619
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 2: It could take a chance if.

620
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 9: We were running another team and we committed fifty million

621
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 9: dollars to a quarterback and it didn't work out, we'd

622
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 9: all be fired. You know that they they can move

623
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 9: on from a fifty million dollar quarterback if they want to.

624
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 9: You know, there's a lot of teams that can't because

625
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 9: you're you'll do anything to keep your job by having

626
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 9: a quarterback. Jason Light a buddy of mine down in Tampa.

627
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 9: He did it with Tom Brady. He was going to

628
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 9: get fired. He is going to get fired, and all

629
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 9: of a sudden, Tom Brady shows up and he got

630
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 9: a five year extension just because and a.

631
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: Super Bowl ring. Right. See, that's that's what I'm saying.

632
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: You you have it.

633
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 9: It's possible to make a change a quarterback and still

634
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 9: benefit from that, but you have to determine though this

635
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 9: guy here.

636
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 8: I think the one of the problems is the Cowboys.

637
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 8: The calendar isn't working in their favor because you're going

638
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 8: to have to make a decision on Dak Prescott as

639
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 8: far as likely extending him to get that captain down.

640
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 8: But you're not really going to have true evaluation start

641
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 8: on Trey Lance until training camp, right because you acquired him,

642
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 8: you know, ahead of the trade.

643
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 4: Well, I think they probably have a better evaluation.

644
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: No, I get it. They have a better evaluation. They

645
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: have a better evaluation than they did this time last year. Yees, because.

646
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 8: But if you look at the how practices are run

647
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 8: and Cooper Rush is still the definitive TB two up

648
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 8: to this point, is Cooper getting those second team looks

649
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 8: in practice.

650
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: Him out before?

651
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 4: You notice before every game he had a little session here,

652
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 4: he wasn't present. I'm sure mom came.

653
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 8: It'll be a complete unleashing of Trey versus Cooper, which, really,

654
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 8: then I guess their hope at that point should be

655
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 8: for Trey to step forward and kind of nudge Cooper

656
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 8: to the side, which then gives them the position, the

657
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 8: leverage going forward to say, Okay, well, twenty twenty five

658
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 8: if Dak doesn't, twenty twenty six if Dak doesn't. But again,

659
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 8: calendar's working against you because Trey Lance's rookie deal is

660
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 8: coming up. To do it to expire to that next year, Yeah,

661
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 8: next year, so you got to you gotta make a

662
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 8: decision there. So I think ideally, you know, realistically, like

663
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 8: you're saying, this is an MVP candidate in Dak Prescott

664
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 8: who basically his mentality just went out the window against

665
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 8: the Packers. The cerebral version of Dak Prescott wasn't there.

666
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 8: He was off. Something was just completely awry, and unlike

667
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 8: a separate playoff game where you could point out and say, well,

668
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 8: Dak wasn't the reason they lost, he was a reason

669
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 8: that the Cowboys lost. Those two interceptions and the timing

670
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 8: of it, brutal pick six, it helped to pedo the

671
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 8: Cowboys season, just as the defense did that. It's also

672
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 8: true though that the best, any quarterback that you would

673
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 8: name that's better than Dak Prescott is already on a

674
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 8: team and they're not letting them go, and they're probably

675
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 8: not going to spend the twenty fourth overall pick on

676
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 8: a on a quarterback.

677
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 9: Because they got trade so they're not going to draft

678
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 9: a quarterback, right, That's what I mean.

679
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 4: So this is where this is where there's where you're

680
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 4: at the develop.

681
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 10: What's Brady dear He does come back from retirement before

682
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 10: wants to call Philip No, no, no, no.

683
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 7: No, lot of kids to talk about a tough guys,

684
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 7: get Philip Rivers.

685
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 10: No. I was just gonna say, it's one of those

686
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 10: things that is just it's very hard because as much

687
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 10: and I get it. So many people hate Dak and

688
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 10: want to get rid of it. But same as you said,

689
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 10: there it gets. It's one it's very hard to find

690
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 10: a quarterback, but two that has shown you really really

691
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 10: good moments like yeah, where we're part of you, part

692
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 10: of you, even though you're you're like, okay, you still

693
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 10: take this game as something that's uncorrect, helped me out, uncorrect, uncharacteristic,

694
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 10: uncharacteristic of him, that you're like, okay, we know what

695
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 10: he can do in good moments, and part of you,

696
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 10: in the very very part of you, because I know

697
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 10: right now we're still mad, but there is that hope

698
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 10: of like, Okay, well he has it, but if we

699
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 10: put him in a better position, then maybe. But you've

700
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 10: already done so much changing the whole team around him

701
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 10: to cater to him and put him in a better

702
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 10: position as far as like even changing the scheme of things.

703
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 10: And although he has improved this year, it's still it's

704
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 10: just I don't think it's enough to make a drastic change.

705
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 10: One because you don't really have options. But two, there's

706
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 10: part of you where you still see the really good

707
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 10: assets in him.

708
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, you do actually have an option you do have

709
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 9: an option, you can determine that you're going to move

710
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 9: on and let Trey Lance run this thing at a

711
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 9: cheaper contract and then try and and sign CD and

712
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 9: sign others in draft and go that route.

713
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 10: How many years are you out into the hope of

714
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 10: getting somewhere.

715
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 7: Well, he's at a point in his career where if

716
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 7: you made that move, the expectation he's ready to jump

717
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 7: in and ready to take off.

718
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 4: Like Jordan loved it exactly. That's what you're that would

719
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 4: be your hope if you're making that.

720
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 2: This isn't like you're dealing with a rookie guy.

721
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 9: You're dealing with a guy that you're dealing with the

722
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 9: second overall pick in the draft, right, second third overall

723
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 9: pick in the draft, and Dallas thought enough of him.

724
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 9: I think they had him at the very top of

725
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 9: the second round on their board, so you know they

726
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 9: they thought enough of this guy too. If they want

727
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 9: to make if they want to pull the band aid

728
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 9: off and go and just say, you know what, we're

729
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 9: not going to pay a fifty million dollars quarterback there.

730
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 9: They're not gonna get they're not going to lose their jobs.

731
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 9: But you know, if I was.

732
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: In Tampa and and.

733
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 9: I have a quarterback, I'm going to lose my job.

734
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 9: These guys aren't going to lose. And again, I'm not

735
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 9: taking that as a slam. I'm just telling you that's

736
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 9: that option. It makes it a lot easier when you

737
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 9: know that. Listen, if I make this move and it

738
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 9: doesn't work, it's on me and we'll just find something

739
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 9: else to do.

740
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 7: Let me just say for the record, I ain't with that.

741
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 7: I'm I'm unless I am very certain. I gotta be

742
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 7: so certain with Trey Lance that I'm willing to do that.

743
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 7: Like I still feel like, and call me naive, I

744
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 7: still feel like Dak Prescott can still get you there.

745
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 7: I just I just feel like, if if you get

746
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 7: the right things in place, And I know that's hard

747
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 7: to say when you're paying fifty million dollars, you're like,

748
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 7: I shouldn't have to have everything.

749
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 11: I know.

750
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 4: I get you, I understand you.

751
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 7: But I guess that's also my fear of going back

752
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 7: to not having the quarterback, because if Trey Lance doesn't

753
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 7: work out, if you went that route and he didn't

754
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 7: work out, and let's say Dak moves on to some

755
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 7: other team and all of a sudden, Now Dak is

756
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 7: balling that, I'm gonna be like that, Oh my god, no,

757
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 7: I will that will That will drive me absolutely.

758
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 9: You live with them, You live with a Maury Cooper

759
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 9: making two hundred and fifty, you know, fifty years in

760
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 9: the game.

761
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, but that, honestly, that doesn't bother me because Amari

762
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 7: Cooper is doing the same thing he did here. He's

763
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 7: having some games where he's really great. Sure, he's also

764
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 7: having some games where it's like, where's a Mark Cooper?

765
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 7: So he's doing exactly the same thing he did here.

766
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 7: My problem would be if you let a quarterback go

767
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 7: who you know is good, but he just wasn't able

768
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 7: to do it for you in the playoffs, and then

769
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 7: he goes somewhere else and he's able to do it

770
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 7: in the playoffs, then it's like, man.

771
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 4: We gave up on it too soon. And that's the

772
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 4: part again. I might just be being fearful.

773
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 7: That may be driving my thought process here, but that's

774
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 7: where I am. I'm just like, I'm not willing to

775
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 7: go that route unless I know I for sure got

776
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 7: a better option.

777
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 9: See the thing about it is, I think there's a

778
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 9: lot of people will evaluate he's two and five as

779
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 9: a playoff quarterback, and that's fair, and that's and that's

780
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 9: and they'll ask you, well, what more do you need?

781
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 2: You know? And that's the question.

782
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 9: Somebody will say, Okay, Derek, what more do you need?

783
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 9: He's two and five. He's not five and two. He's

784
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 9: two and five, you know. And they've they've bounced out

785
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 9: in wild card games, they've bounced out.

786
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 2: In divisional games. You know. See, that's the thing you

787
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 2: have to that's the thing you have.

788
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 9: To address here is is are we gonna be doing

789
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 9: the show again next year? And the same thing happens,

790
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 9: and then you're gonna go, Okay, I know, three hundred

791
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 9: and sixty five days ago we talked about and I

792
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 9: and I you know, and I I I understand, you gotta,

793
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 9: you gotta. But then at the point now you're you're

794
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 9: the three year contract extension, and now you're thinking about, oh, okay,

795
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 9: now we got to carry this. We're gonna carry a

796
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 9: cap charge now for the next three years on my team.

797
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: Again, that's that's the decision. They have to make it right,

798
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: not us.

799
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 7: And that's why it's a hard decision, is because it'd

800
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 7: be much easier if Dak Prescott had just been bad

801
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 7: all season, sure that would be a much easier.

802
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 4: It wouldn't be in the playoffs, right.

803
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 9: It wouldn't be in the play right, And then right

804
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 9: there there they were in the playoffs because Dak Prescott

805
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 9: played at a very high level. The problem is, though,

806
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 9: when you get in the playoffs, you've got to find

807
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 9: a way to advance. And you know, two games they

808
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 9: advanced with him, you know, five games they didn't.

809
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 2: You know, I mean that's that's that's that's reality. That's

810
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 2: that's you know.

811
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 9: And again, I do I think they're gonna do something

812
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 9: different move on from No, absolutely not. But that's the

813
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 9: decision they have to look at. If they move on

814
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 9: from this guy, it's because of the two and five.

815
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 9: That's why they will move on.

816
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 8: And you also got to take into account. You know,

817
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 8: Jerry Jones's quote keeps popping up in my head. I

818
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 8: don't have time for a bad time. Yeah, So, I mean,

819
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 8: he not to be grim, but he senses his mortality

820
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 8: at his age, right. And if you take the risk

821
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 8: on Trey Lance, and a huge risk, it is because

822
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 8: you haven't seen Chrery Lance in a Cowboys uniform. Take

823
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 8: a single snap just yet, not so much as a

824
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 8: preseason game just yet. Calendar's working against you. So if

825
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 8: you roll those dice and they come up snake eyes,

826
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 8: you've reset the entire franchise. And now you have to

827
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 8: guess what You got to go back out and got

828
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 8: to find another quarterback back while all of this is happening,

829
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 8: Guess whose careers are rolling along being wasted? Seedee Lamb,

830
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 8: Michael Parson, some of these other guys, Jake Ferguson.

831
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 9: So well, see that's the thing about it. And like

832
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 9: I said earlier in two thousand and three, we had

833
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 9: no options of finding a quarterback, had none.

834
00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not that people.

835
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 9: People now we're willing look look at the guys, like

836
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 9: I said, Baker Mayfield, they got rid of him, look

837
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 9: at you, and yeah, everybody to get rid of these quarterbacks.

838
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 9: Now it's like people say, listen, we're not good enough

839
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 9: at quarterback.

840
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 2: We got to do something different.

841
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, and they move on and they move on, and

842
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 9: you know, so I don't think you could be fearful

843
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 9: of not finding a quarterback. I don't think you could

844
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 9: be fearful of that. And I think, you know, I

845
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 9: think they protected themselves with Lance, I really do.

846
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just to me.

847
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 9: At least it gives them an option that they don't

848
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 9: have to look at this draft and say, you know, oh.

849
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 2: We have to have a quarterback.

850
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and you're probably speaking the right thing.

851
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 7: I'm speaking the scared thing, really, and I'm so true

852
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 7: to that, Like I'm just afraid to death of making

853
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 7: a move.

854
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 4: And then you're like, oh, gosh, we don't have a quarterback,

855
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 4: and I don't know where you're going to get one.

856
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 4: If you don't have a quarterback, debilitate.

857
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 9: If you don't have a quarterback and your record's bad enough,

858
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 9: you you'll.

859
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 2: Draft a quarterback.

860
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then it's a craft show. It really as a

861
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 4: crap it is. You're talking about we've seen, we've seen guys.

862
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 7: You draft number one overall and they are a bus

863
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 7: like it is such a crap show.

864
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 2: They thought they had Dak Prescott and Jamil Showers.

865
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 13: Think about, well, think about how they got their last

866
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 13: two quarterbacks.

867
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 4: Both of the last two quarterbacks the Cowboys have gotten.

868
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 7: They got in an inopportunity, like they got in a

869
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 7: way that was just luck. Basically, they looked into Dak Prescott.

870
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 7: They lucked into Tony Romo. So those like the.

871
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 4: Last two times, it's just happenstance. They they looked into

872
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 4: a quarterback.

873
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 2: Look at the Packers, I mean the last forty years.

874
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 2: I mean it's from.

875
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 4: Sep getting it right, keep getting it right.

876
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: And see, So what did they do?

877
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 9: They moved on Green Bay and the last two times

878
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 9: they've changed quarterback, moved on from a Hall of Fame quarterback,

879
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 9: moved on from another Hall of Fame quarterback. Sometimes you

880
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 9: can't be scared sometimes, but that Rogers is a pain

881
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 9: in the ass. So I understand while they moved on

882
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 9: from him, right, you know.

883
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 4: But anyway, all right, we're gonna say our final break.

884
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 7: We only have four more minutes, so we're gonna take

885
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 7: a final breakway, gonna come back real quick, get a

886
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 7: few more points in before we end.

887
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: The show.

888
00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 4: Is the Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio.

889
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 11: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

890
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 11: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

891

Speaker 11: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

892
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 11: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

893
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,799

895
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,879

Speaker 2: New you Back to the Break.

930
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 7: Welcome Back, final segment of the Break Life in the

931
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 7: SWBC Morgan Studios at the Star. We got exactly one

932
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 7: minute and two seconds, so what we're gonna do here

933
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 7: is real quick. I did want to talk a little

934
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 7: bit about the defense Jordan Love was sixteen to twenty one,

935
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 7: seventy six percent completion rate, two under seventy two yards,

936
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 7: three touchdown, zero interceptions, and a one fifty seven point

937
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 7: two quarterback rating. If that's not perfect, it's very, very

938
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 7: very close to perfect. That being said, was there something

939
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 7: that Green Bay's offense did that was particularly challenging for

940
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 7: Dallas because we saw wide receivers open the whole day

941
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 7: like it just everything looked off. Was there something they

942
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 7: did differently than what they've been doing all season that

943
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 7: really may have thrown the Dallas defense.

944
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: I think communication was really bad for the Cowboys defense

945
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: this game. The big plays were.

946
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 9: Because of bust and I think the Romeo Dobbs forty

947
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 9: six yard play was I think they were going deep

948
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 9: over on it. They met Max protect deep over. He

949
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 9: just ran a route on his own and it lost

950
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 9: it lost Gilbourn, It lost Gilbore, and he broke. He

951
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 9: went to where he knew the route was going, is

952
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 9: what he did, and he ended up with the ball.

953
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 9: And then also I think that I think Wilson dropped

954
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 9: the coverage on the on the tight end that that

955
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 9: ended up being a touchdown.

956
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: The thirty eight yard touchdown there. That was they were man.

957
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 4: That same play from Arizona game.

958
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 2: No, but it was.

959
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 9: It was it was a man free situation with the

960
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 9: defense man underneath free safety in the middle of field.

961
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 2: Wilson went to the outside and he didn't carry their

962
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 2: out and that's what it is.

963
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 4: But he was a man cover. He just busted.

964
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just busted there. Wow.

965
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, So that's I think communication and busts were with

966
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 9: the big problems in that game.

967
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 7: And it seems like it happened over and over again,

968
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 7: which again does beg the question where they prepared for

969
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 7: this game.

970
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

971
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 9: They one time though the first dobs inside passing the

972
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 9: middle of the field.

973
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 2: That like I said, that cursed free safety.

974
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 9: Three guys ran with one receiver and that left the

975
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 9: middle of the field completely open. That's the one with

976
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 9: Michael Parsons was in position, and you kind of wonder

977
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 9: was Michaels supposed to be deep enough because they had

978
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 9: a route previous in that and that's where they ran

979
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 9: the linebacker and a vertical to try and take care

980
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 9: of things with Clark and stuff. See wonder maybe Michael

981
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 9: maybe was you know, they all were kind of short

982
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 9: and maybe they needed a little bit more debt.

983
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 2: But they had short.

984
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 9: Linebackers and deep safeties and they ran three ran three

985
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,479
Speaker 9: with one guy and it kind of messed them up.

986
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 4: A little bit.

987
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,720
Speaker 7: Just for the record, I'm going to have a problem

988
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 7: when the best guy with the best pressure percentage in

989
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 7: the NFL is doing anything other than rushing the quarterback.

990
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 7: I just I don't understand. That to me is the definition.

991
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 7: I get it, but I just to me, that is

992
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 7: the definition of we're going to outthink them, trying to

993
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 7: outthink us, Like, just do what you do that. You

994
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 7: can do a lot of other things schematically, but if

995
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 7: you got something, you do extremely well. The best in

996
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 7: the NFL. His pressure percentage was better than anybody in

997
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 7: the NFL. And have him go get the quarterback every

998
00:45:58,480 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 7: single time.

999
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 2: Sometimes y'all think yourself.

1000
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 8: Sometimes, defense just it executed and communicated poorly at all

1001
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 8: three levels. You had a defensive line who leads the league,

1002
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 8: led the league in pressures. Got to speaking past tense

1003
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 8: now thanks for that. Theyed the league in pressures and

1004
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 8: basically were not able to win their matchups at all,

1005
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 8: and then behind them, whilst they're unable to win their matchups,

1006
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 8: communication on the back end was as poor as I've

1007
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 8: ever seen in a football game, and that is no exaggeration.

1008
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 8: You got guys missing assignments. You got guys taking guys

1009
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 8: that shouldn't have been there, guys. You got guys that

1010
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 8: are you know, running the wrong coverage in what the

1011
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 8: coverage looks should have been. And then, like he said,

1012
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 8: he brings up the Romeo. Dobbs big Gainer, basically led

1013
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 8: Gilmore all the way in across the field and then

1014
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 8: broke off and okay, you got Gilmore that you got him,

1015
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 8: where's the safety help? Safety help was both your safeties

1016
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 8: on the other side of the field.

1017
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 2: They had they had they had the over hea. Yeah,

1018
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 2: they had the over covered.

1019
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 9: The problem was the break the quarterback made it. You know,

1020
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 9: Dobbs ran the route thinking like okay, I'm in trouble here.

1021
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 2: He just went to where he knew the ball was

1022
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 2: going to be. Yeah he was. They were thinking deep

1023
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 2: over and he just turned Gilmour around it.

1024
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 8: And then schematically, when you look at they got themselves

1025
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 8: to a point where you're not getting any pressure up

1026
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 8: front and you're communicating pulling on the back end.

1027
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 4: Panic mode.

1028
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 8: What do you do? You send extra guys. Don't send

1029
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 8: extra guys to Jordan Love.

1030
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 4: You know what you get.

1031
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 8: You get the Kobe fade away backfoot lob touchdown. That's

1032
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 8: what you get, back foot lob forty five yard game.

1033
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,919
Speaker 8: It just all fell apart because on at each level

1034
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 8: of the defense, and this also goes to the overall

1035
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 8: scheme of the defense.

1036
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 4: Cowboys were just not what.

1037
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 8: I'm not even going to say they weren't what they

1038
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 8: should have been. I feel like that's an understatement.

1039
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 2: They ran the ball at Bell. They weren't a.

1040
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 8: Professional football team on Sunday. I didn't see a professional

1041
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 8: football team from the Cowboys on Sunday.

1042
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 10: Hang when they made me look stupid, because that was

1043
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 10: exactly how I felt like. No, it's like we headed

1044
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 10: into the game. I just so many great matchups. I

1045
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 10: thought the back end of the field would be taken

1046
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 10: care of. All you gotta worry really is just stop

1047
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 10: the run. Maybe that's something that they can actually do.

1048
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 10: Run the ball on you. And then no, they did everything.

1049
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 10: They did everything they could possibly do. On offense, you

1050
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 10: gave up so many big, big plays and there was

1051
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 10: no answers. I mean, sometimes you see a guy catching

1052
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 10: the ball and there on bland the guy. Okay, I

1053
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 10: love you their own blood, but man, you're like, what

1054
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 10: five yards away from the guy you're supposed to cover, Like,

1055
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 10: I know what.

1056
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 4: For those that don't know, that's a long way from

1057
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 4: the stay anyways, this is yeah about an hour.

1058
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, that was pretty bad.

1059
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 4: All right, guys, we appreciate you joining us.

1060
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:46,640

Speaker 2: We'll get as.

1077
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 7: Usual and maybe Brian will convince me there's some quarterback

1078
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 7: out there we need to be thinking about it.

1079
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1080
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:38,680
