Welcome to the latest edition of 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.320 The Break. We are live from the s WBC Morriage 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.600 Studios at the Star and today we're going to take 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.120 a big picture look. We are going to hash through 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:03.400 everything that has happened in the debacle that was Cowboys 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.520 Wild Card playoff game versus the Packers. They lose forty 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.000 eight to thirty two. Score doesn't really tell the story 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.120 of that game, but we're gonna break that down and 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:12.959 we're gonna talk about some of the finer points of 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.760 the game, some things that maybe can put that in perspective. 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:21.560 What you actually saw on Sunday was not pretty. But again, 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.080 we're gonna go through it. We're gonna break it all 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.119 down for you guys. Towards the end of the show, 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.160 we'll also have a little bit of discussion around the coaches, 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:31.800 around Mike McCarthy, around Dan Quinn and what they contributed 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.080 to what you saw on Sunday and what it looks 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.240 like for them going forward and how you evaluate that. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.760 So we'll do that throughout the show. But let's start first. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.360 I want to get some general overviews. And I know 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.399 obviously it wasn't a good day for the Cowboys, but 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.160 just as a big picture, what was your takeaway? What's 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.160 your big picture takeaway from that game? 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.400 Patrick will start with you Cowboys are kind of back 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.640 in purgatory, and it's a horrible place to be because 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.640 you know what direction do you go from here? 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:58.120 Right? 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.840 And we'll know touch on the coaching situation going forward, 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:06.400 But when you have a coach and a staff on 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.960 both sides of the bar that put you in position 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.600 to overcome adversity like losing Trayvon Diggs and players like that, 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.360 and you deliver another twelve win season, your second division 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.720 title in three seasons. But not only do you not 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.399 make the playoff run, which was basically an obligation at 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.440 this point, but you lose and the fashion in which 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.720 you lost, and to whom you lost and where you lost. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.800 It could not have been more of a meltdown. It 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.280 was a nuclear meltdown, absolute shared noble at at and 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:41.400 T Stadium. So now fear Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, Will McLay. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.160 You're sitting there and you're trying to figure out, well, 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.640 what do you do? Do you move on to a 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.560 new head coach? And obviously there's no guarantees there, no 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.760 matter how big and fancy the name is. Dak Prescott 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.720 admittedly said he sucked on Sunday, and he did. He said, 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.320 if you're going to put McCarthy on the hot seat, 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.480 put me on the hot seat. We will. But what 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.880 does that look like? Because he's up for a contract 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.000 negotiation Cowboys, and on the defensive side of the ball, 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.679 dan Quinn, he's set to undertake his interviews. Now right, 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.720 we talk about the stock of a head coach and 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:19.440 how dan Quinn was rightfully being courted. Stock took a massive, 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.840 massive hit for dan Quinn. I had no rhyme or 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:27.120 reason for what I saw schematically against the Green Bay Packers. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.600 They basically kneeled for four quarters and let Jordan Love 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.679 do whatever he wanted to do. This was a failure 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:41.240 on every possible level by everyone involved not named Jake Ferguson. 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.040 Jake Ferguson and maybe two or three other people are 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:45.960 the only ones I could point to in this particular 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.560 game and say they left it all on the field. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.320 Offensive line did well as well, so I'll give it 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.320 to the offensive not Tony Pollard did well as well. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.240 But for the most part, your defensive players, Michael. 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:56.240 Where were you? Yeah? 0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:00.000 Where were you? Penalty showed up? Dak Where were you? 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.119 Where was the MVPDT wasn't there at all? This offensive 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.000 play calling that had been so great most of the season, 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.760 where was it? Defensive play calling great most of the season? 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:10.360 Where was it. 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.200 So at at the end of the day. That's where 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.480 the Cowboys are. Its purgatory. Don't envy the decisions they 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:18.560 have to make. But they got to make them, and 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:19.520 they got to make them quickly. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.080 You know what, Well said? 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.480 Patrick Well said, the I think the thing that that 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.480 that was Green Bay had a really a great game plan. 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.120 They had a game plan both offensively and defensively, how 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.159 they wanted to attack your quarterback, how they wanted to 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.680 play and coverage. Some of the looks that had been 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.560 given DAK problems throughout the season. You know, Joe Berry 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.960 basically rolled the dice and said, you know what, I'm 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.159 going to play certain coverages here and see if I 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.960 can get something out of it. I think that, you know, 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.280 when you talk about the you know, the one of 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.599 the interceptions that DAK had where that disconnect, that early 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.960 disconnect with CD in this game and they run the 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.520 double slant and they throw the interception off that which 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.599 turns into the pick six. The savage that to me 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:08.360 was one of those Okay, I'm gonna try and get 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.359 you going throws. I'm going to try and get you know, 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.840 maybe that wasn't the best place to put the football, 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.200 you know, and it goes back to bite you. That's 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.560 just good scheming by you know, by the by the 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.200 Packers there to kind of be in the right place 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.960 the right time to force a turnover there. They did 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.279 a really good job of handling your offense, you know, 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.280 for the for three quarters and then you know it 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.240 turned into garbage time. But the defense that that's the 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.200 thing that was the most disconcerting to me about this, 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:41.760 the way that that that they played, because I know 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.279 there's times where we've seen and they've tried to put 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.080 band aids on amputations. Here at linebacker, it's just been 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.320 a it's a struggle. They don't have the personnel to 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.200 play the way they want to play, you know, and 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.400 they play so much dime because they have to. They 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.400 don't have any other players. I mean, Bell's one of 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.600 your better players. He's not a linebacker. You know, we're 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.040 learning on the We're learning on the run here with Clark, 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:03.760 you know, I mean, he's learning. 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.039 He some days he's really good. In other days he's 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:06.720 not so good. 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.480 You know, when they're knocking down you know, Jonathan Hankins 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.080 on the ground and double team in him, and you know, 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.080 there's just a lot of things. You have to tip 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.640 your cap to Green Bay for the way they schemed it. 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.280 They tacked the middle of the field. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:20.760 They knew that, you know. 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.280 They saw that that curse a as a true free safety. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.039 It's not an answer for you right there. You know. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.920 I think there's dan Quinn had just he was trying 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.400 to put players in place to make up for the 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.240 lack of some of the players he didn't have, and 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.600 I think it ultimately caught up to him at the end. 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.160 Green Bay schemed, you really really. 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:42.960 Well in this football game, you know, and and. 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.359 You give their quarterback a lot of credit too, you know, 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.200 he he threw several passes in the teeth of a rush, 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.440 which the Cowboys have been good at all year. But it, 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.840 you know, ultimately, it's what caused the Cowboys to lose 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.760 this football game. They just weren't able. They just were 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.279 undermanned in a lot of areas. And it like the 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.560 Old House of Cards just kind of came tombling down 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.120 on them in this game. I think we saw that 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.279 they were playing with fire all year and they finally 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:10.360 got burned in this game. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.680 Well I'm gonna watch what I say because I don't 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:20.160 want to get fired today. But well your jinxed, so 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:25.040 you know what people started tweeting on me. I'm like, sure, sure, yes, 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.320 that they lost because I jinxed it. Sure they've lost 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.240 all these years because I opened my mouth. Sure, if 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.840 I had that much power, I probably wouldn't be sitting here. 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.200 If my mouth had that much power, I'll be you 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.680 talk to him swimming in a jack kusie full of cash. 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:44.800 But anyways, I agree with everything you guys said, and 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:50.239 the funny, crazy twisted thing is that in that game, 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.680 everything that was that the Cowboys tended to do well 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.680 went wrong, and the areas that they tended to do 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:04.240 bad went somewhat well. So including oh my god, I 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:11.320 almost call him brand Maher Brandon Aubrey included him. But 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.200 it's just it's I don't know what to do with 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.239 my life right now. This week, I'm trying to because, 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.880 and I've said this off the air, every single part 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:25.640 of me had zero doubt that they were gonna win 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.040 this game. And of course that's not being me being 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.480 naive or stupid of like the past history, but I 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.360 truly believe that this was such a great matchup for 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.920 them to start the playoffs against a team like the 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.320 Green Bay Packers, and it wasn't the case. I don't 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.520 think it matter who the opponent was. The way the 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:49.000 Cowboys played. The Cowboys played was just absolutely terrible. And 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.840 it's one of those things that now we got to 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.079 talk about and like try to figure out, Okay, how 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.040 do you how do you move past this? And I'm like, okay, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.000 part of me is like we know the drill with 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.440 the during this so many years, But at the same time, 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:07.200 it's like, right, now I literally have no answer, no 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:12.199 quick fix. Like everything in my mind right now seems 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:17.520 so like, oh, reconstructing or starting over from zero, Like 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.640 nothing seems like there would be like a change that 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.280 you currently make, even if there was to be a 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:27.720 change in the head coach position. There are so many 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.959 pieces that are about to change that it's hard to 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.960 visualize something that will get you to that next step 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.200 in the near future going into next year. And I 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.880 know we talked about it on one of our shows, Derek, 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:47.600 where we were talking about the now and the coaching 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.200 and dn quinn him having interviews and all of that, 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:56.760 and it's just so many moving parts that I really 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.079 thought this was the year if you were gonna do it, 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.440 this was gonna be the year where. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.880 Yeah, yeah, To be honest with you, that kind of 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.400 encapsulates my thoughts on this is there. You'd have to 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.840 go back to two thousand and seven for me to 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.400 find a game that a playoff game that was more 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.719 gut wrenching than this one. Because just like in two 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.440 thousand and seven, you were the top seed, you had 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.559 everything was laid out nicely for you had the team, 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:27.080 you had the home field advantage, everything worked to where 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.720 you should be able to exercise all those demons of 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.520 what has happened to this franchise since their championship days 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.280 in the nineties. And you go and have that game 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.280 against the Giants and you lose in the first round. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.280 And I felt the same way about this game. I 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:43.920 look at the Packers and I'm like, this was a 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.640 good matchup for the Cowboys. You can't convince me that 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.480 schematically the Cowboys what they'd done all season didn't match 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.080 up nicely against this team. And everything had laid out 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:58.360 in a way to where you had everything clear all 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.000 the way up until you had to deal with San Francisco. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.760 Do you see what happened at San Francisco for that 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.439 championship game if they didn't lose somewhere. 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:05.679 Along the way. 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.160 But the point was, like you, everything was laid out 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:12.080 nicely for you, and for whatever reason, they just couldn't 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.480 get it right in the first round. And that's the 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.880 part that's hard. And that's the part where when you 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.800 start talking about where do you move from here? I 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.839 don't think there's a lot of answers because you left 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.480 like almost dumbfounded, like how did this happen to be 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:25.120 able to even. 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:26.240 Understand where you need to go. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.800 You gotta first understand, like how did it happen against 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.120 that team? And again I'm not trying to kill him. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.839 Love played his butt off some of the throws he made. 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.080 That throw he made into the end zone like where 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.400 he was kind of yeah, that was an awesome throw, 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.480 Like you, you won't find a the vast majority of 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.839 the NFL quarterbacks in the NFL right now that can 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:45.680 make that kind of throw. 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:46.880 He played his butt off. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:48.600 The fact matter is. 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.840 Though the Dallas Cowboys should have won that game. They 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.360 were the better team, and it's hard to say that, 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.079 but you look at it, and that's why we're all 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.920 so dumb founded, is because you look at it on 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.640 paper and you say, Down has more talent Dallas is. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:03.240 You would think they have. 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.240 Better skime, You would think everything matches up for them 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.319 to have won that game, and for whatever reason, they 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:08.600 did not. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.560 And that's why I don't I often don't get into 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.480 the whole the dialogue going into the playoffs of matchups 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.320 and things like that, because we all know matchups do 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.240 matter in the playoffs, but what matters more than matchups 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:24.520 is effort and execution and the complete lack of effort. 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.000 The complete lack of execution we saw from the Cowboys 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.640 would have gotten them blown out by every team in 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.120 the league at at and T Stadium or anywhere. You 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.080 see what happened to the Eagles in Tampa Bay. Lack 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.400 of effort, lack of execution. So it's not that the 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.439 Cowboys finally dropped a game at home, it's they didn't 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.400 show up on their own field in the first place. 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.680 And to Ambar and Derek's point, the thing that makes 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.800 this so difficult and dumbfounding is you look at the 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.600 loss to the forty nine ers, Okay, in last year, 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:58.079 that's January. You lose Tony Pollard, your most explosive player, Okay. 0:12:58.360 --> 0:12:59.880 So then after that you could say, well, if you 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.000 had Pollard, Okay, Kellen Moore was the offensive coordinator in 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:05.959 the Green Bay game last year, you say, okay, well 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:09.440 if the offensive coordinator had done this differently, So what 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.600 do you do. You swap out the offensive coordinator. So 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.640 those types of changes have been made. But then you 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.120 look at what happened this past Sunday against the Packers, 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.360 and you don't have those things to point to. You 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.600 have to point at everything. So how do you fix everything? 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.480 You try to figure out, Like Derek said, what's the 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.839 root of it? And it's not lack of talent. They 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.199 definitely took some hits. They had, you know, size issues 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.680 at linebacker. Yeah, they took some hits. But this was 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:37.360 the perfect matchup for you. Where was your pressure up 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.160 front from your defensive line Michael Parsons and those guys. 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.720 In coverage George dropped back. We'll talk about that later, 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:44.160 but go ahead. 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.560 Jordan Love pressured only only four times. So in breaking 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.440 down like Science Lab I did last week, I said, 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.360 you have to get pressure from your front four on 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.079 Jordan Love, don't bring the blitz. They did not get pressure, 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.560 so then they panicked. Then they brought the blitz and 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.559 Jordan Love tormed to shreds every time they blitzed them. 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.920 And then when he had time two and a half 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.480 seconds or more, over two hundred almost three hundred yards, 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:11.320 three touchdowns, no interceptions, almost a perfect passer rating. Play 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.120 after play we saw we were sitting in the press box. Snap, 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:20.320 Why did he take him deep fade? Yeah, forty fifty 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:25.960 yard reception, third and six pre snap? Why are these 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.440 ten yards off the receiver? On there are so many 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.560 things you could point out that went wrong because almost 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.840 everything went wrong and not much went right. And when 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.120 that happens, it doesn't matter where you're playing, who you're playing. 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.520 It's unacceptable and it has to be fixed. But there 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.320 is no easy fix. And that's where we're left right now. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.640 Which knob did you turn? When you got to turn 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:45.560 all the knobs? 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.000 All right, let's take a's say, our first break when 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.040 we come back, let's dive into the offense a little bit. 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.160 We'll talk about Dak Prescott and his day. As he said, 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.680 he didn't play well that game, but we'll talk about 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.480 what some of the more specific things that went wrong 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.080 for the Cowboys offense a little be backed out this 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.040 Cowboys dot Com radio. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.120 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.080 cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.040 online was reliable.

At the start of segment brought 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:15.040 to you by blockchain dot Com, Dak Prescott on Sunday 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.000 was forty one or sixty sixty eight percent completions, complete 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.320 completion percentage four hundred three yards, passing, three touchdowns, two 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.280 interceptions at eighty nine point eight. 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.719 Rating a lot of that very hollow. 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.600 They really they seem to get things going at the 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.520 point in the game where the Packers are basically like, 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.000 just don't let them get anything quick, and so they 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.159 racked up a lot of yards even some points. But 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.960 if you look at the games holistically, and let's really 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.560 take that first half where I think that's where it 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.560 all went downhill, what would you say was the biggest 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:50.879 problem for the offense and Dak Prescott on Sunday. 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.200 I'll say this quickly and all though right to Brian 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:57.320 o Ambar. Brian mentioned it in his first description of 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.520 what went wrong, that connection between Dak and set Lamb 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.760 that's been so explosive all season. It was not there. 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.639 It was ice freaking cold. They could not get on 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.879 the same page to save their lives. Right, Well, he 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.240 was trying to force it, which was probably number one, 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.400 but at the same time, miscommunications on the routes and 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.960 you know what, the anticipation that was normally always there 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:19.800 for those two it just wasn't there. And then you 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.280 started to see CD get frustrated because they just couldn't 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.679 get it together. So for me, there's a lot of 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.240 things you can point to, but that because they couldn't 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.000 get that motor going, everything else just started kind of 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:30.760 the crumble after that. 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.600 Yeah, I think that I think it really started. Dak 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:36.840 tried to throw the ball to the middle there to 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:38.800 the CD on third down, and CD really didn't have 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:40.960 a chance. I mean, he extended Dak both feet off 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.119 the ground. He's looking to his left. CD's probably not 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.400 expecting the ball, and then all of a sudden, he's 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.680 trying to Now Dak's like, okay, I got to try 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:49.480 and make a play here. 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:51.679 So they try and get in the middle. It doesn't work. 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.879 They come back and they throw what the play is 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.640 called sprint right option, where Dak rolls to his right 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.159 and Lamb is on the running. 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:02.680 Along the silen. It's kind of run a little bit. 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.960 Of a curl router end route, and Dak lets the 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.720 ball fly before CD even breaks and it got to 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:13.080 CD so fast that he really couldn't even adjust, you know. 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:17.280 So I think that I think the disconnect really happened. 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.359 When you you looked at a play. They were going 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:24.080 to run a pivot route where where CD breaks in 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.960 and Dak expects him to break in then out, and 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.720 he throws the ball the outside. And after the play 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.760 you look at it, Dak, He's got palms up at CD, like, bro, 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:35.440 what's going. 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:35.960 On here today? 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.399
