But we also have Phil 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.760 in Forever soon the Walls, the sixth time Pro Bowler, 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.160 Nate in Frisco, and I can't wait to hear what 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.319 Nate has to say, not only about Sunday, about going 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:16.160 forward for this football team. Hello, how are we. 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:21.840 On the day after great? I am super good? Uh 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:23.040 one thing. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.680 That Nate and I did a good job yesterday. 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.280 Yes, yes, you knocked it out of the park. 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.039 And so are you waiting for our comments for the game? 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:38.360 Just you can go first, No, the namesake mix shots. 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:42.440 Give us your opinion, well as I am. 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:43.959 Did the sun come up today, Mickey? 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.440 Oh, it did, okay, bright and early too. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:52.920 By the way, as I wrote in my column that's 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.960 going to get posted in a bit at about a 0:01:56.040 --> 0:02:03.160 sneak preview to thirty five yes Friday. When I discovered 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:08.640 that Eric Kendricks was not going to play, When I 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:14.040 discovered that Doran Bland and Kaylin Carson, although listed questionable, 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:19.000 they don't have a designation as highly questionable, and we're 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.799 not going to play, I decided I didn't like my pick. 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.680 I wanted to take it back, and the fact that 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.680 if the Cowboys didn't score forty something, they probably weren't 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.280 going to have a chance to win this game. And 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.600 as it turned out, they didn't even score ten, and 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.200 they didn't have a chance to win this game after 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.080 they failed miserably on their first two drives all the 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:48.079 way down the field into the red zone. Once again, 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:52.320 that is now the twilight zone because they can't score touchdowns. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.639 And once that took place. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.320 Well, the other thing is you're not scoring touchdowns, but 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.400 there are a number of where they're not gettings either. 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:03.720 They're turning it over. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:08.760 And that's when this whole thing turned into an onslaught. 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:09.760 And here we. 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:14.320 Are three and three at the bye and the only 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.640 good thing I can say about the outcome of that 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:21.000 game is it only counts one loss and there's still 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.280 three and three, one game out of first place. 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.560 Wow, how about that? That was nice? 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:29.920 Spoke his column right there. 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.959 Did you did you have a thought about this game? 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.440 It was very similar. I was not saying forty points, 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:41.880 but I said, in order with the with the absentees 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.440 on defense, starting with the defensive ends and Kendricks and playing, 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.200 they were going to have to score at least thirty 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:50.360 points to win this game. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.680 I exaggerated for it. What thirties? 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:57.120 Yeah, And and then you look at the other side 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.360 and I don't know, now they they We've had a 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.080 couple of injuries that have a couple of guys on 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.680 injured reserve from earlier in the year. But if you 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.840 look at the Lions injury report, they were fully healthy 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.240 for this game. Got their Pro Bowl center back Frank 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:19.360 Ragnow in time for this game. May were coming off 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.800 of bye week, playing very well with all their weapons 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.039 and so forth, and so it was a mismatch on paper, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.640 and I thought Mike McCarthy after the game said, well, yeah, 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.599 where the Lions are right now or we are right now, 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.840 they're better football team right now. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.920 Penny added that we needed to score points. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.960 Right and he also added that. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:47.400 Takeaways and not getting takeaways really hurts at this point. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:56.599 Just sixteen first downs, two by rushing, ten by passing, 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.000 four by penalties, three for thirteen on third down. 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:03.520 That's that's two. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:07.720 Hundred and fifty one yards of net yards. Fellas, this 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.440 is the telling tale for the Dallas Cowboys on offense, 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:20.520 all plays running and passing, we were three point nine 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.800 per attempt of anything. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.280 And they were twice as much. 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:28.880 And they were seven point five. The thing that I 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:33.880 preached and preached and preached is that in order to 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:38.000 be competitive in this league, you have to have a 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:44.000 unit on your team that can dominate or possibly dictate 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:49.120 the outcome of a game. And the only two units 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.880 that give you this opportunity to do that is your 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.960 offensive line or your defensive line. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:03.480 Fellas, that is nowhere near in sight. 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.720 We don't have a dominant defensive line, and we definitely 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.640 don't have a dominant offensive line. 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:11.719 So what we have seen. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:18.800 It's more to come until we fix these problems and 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:26.880 become at least adequate. And our quarterback cannot do this alone, don't. 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:31.359 I don't care what you think of Dak. Dak needs 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.320 to calm down. He just throws to the open receipt 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.320 and don't for you can't. 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:43.880 You cannot be concerned that your injury depleted on defense. 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.640 Try to make up for that by doing things beyond 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.640 what the basically what the defense is, giving a character. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.279 And let me add one thing to what you said 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.040 when you pointed out they had two hundred and fifty 0:06:56.080 --> 0:07:02.119 one total yards. Eighty three of them came their last 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:06.880 two percenttions. I know, really when the game was sort 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.800 of being played, they had one hundred and sixty eight 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:11.720 total yards period. 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:14.480 Yes, and. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:22.000 The five turnovers, three of them were of significance. 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:26.320 One was an interception late when you're desperate, and another 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.200 one was a fumble by a rookie who caught his 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.800 first NFL pass and he fumbled it. 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.680 Well, even Dak's second interception, I mean Dak's interception, Cooper 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.960 Russia's interception, and the Illinois they were all the game 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.520 was long decided, So throw out those three, yeah, right, 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:44.160 three of them. 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:50.480 Yes, the thing that this is what bothers you. 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.400 Basically, the same interception a week ago was the interception 0:07:55.520 --> 0:08:01.920 this week. And Dak should He's been around enough to 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:08.200 know no matter what your number one receiver wants or desires, 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.680 if it's not there, be weary of it. 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.960 Because check this out. The corner had. 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.440 The flats that was ten yards ahead of him. He 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.520 played the situation like that's gonna throw it. He's gonna 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.960 force this to CD and he just. 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.000 Act like he was gonna cover the guy coming out 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.320 into the flat. Well, that was the guy that throws you. 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:33.920 But Dak should have at least and he admitted afterwards 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.200 in the interview that he needed to hold that guy 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.960 by looking at Tolbert in the flat at the line 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.840 of scrimmage, and he got in a hurry and he 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.680 hurried himself and he didn't hold the corner and he 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.400 dropped back into the end zone off his guy to 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:55.240 intercept the past. He go back, but he could know 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.160 if he would have thrown it to Tolbert, it would 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.240 have been a first down if nothing else. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.679 That is what I'm saying. 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.600 When he rushed himself, he could. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.840 Have rushed all day I'm talking about what the defensive players. 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.600 He could have looked this guy if you go back, 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.840 he had already sold out to this corner, had already 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:17.440 sold out. 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.920 It's no way he could have got there if even 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.800 if Dak would have looked at him, he wasn't looking 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.640 at Dak. He was dropping back right. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.080 So it no matter what Dak would have did the 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.400 safe and secure play. And that is what Dak has 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.200 got to get back to, is what's that flat? That 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:38.440 was the only play he had? And so and you 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:43.280 got to and I hoping, O Johnny, Yes, and you 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.719 got to be willing to dink and dunk for the 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.920 life of your defense and to keep your tight end involved. 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.000 Star Sports Tours is the only official fan travel partner 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.880 of the Dallas Cowboys, offering exclusive game weekend travel pack 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:04.439 just with pregame, sideline access and throto ops with current players, 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.480 cheerleaders and Cowboy legends. 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:07.480 You want to stay at the. 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.760 Team hotel, attend the best tail gay party in Texas, 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.680 tour the Star and talk x's and o's with me 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:18.440 Everson Walls.

The only time in this 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:11.320 franchise's history they changed coaches mid season, it was twenty ten. 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.920 They were one in seven and oh, by the way, 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:20.160 got beat by McCarthy's Packers by eight thirty eight points. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.000 It was a little bit different back then. 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:31.040 The thing that is overwhelming for this team, and no 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.320 one is bringing it up, and I don't know why. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.040 I've heard a couple of my compadres, guys that know 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:38.720 a little. 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.440 Football keep we changed. 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:51.520 Coaches defensively, and the players that are there have not 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.400 played in this system. And what I mean by that 0:14:55.640 --> 0:15:01.040 is our tackles are two gap in tackles, though they 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:05.360 may have a gap at certain times. You're acting guys 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.800 to be more precise with their hands, to hold off blockers, 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:10.600 to eat up blockers. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.560 That is not who OSA is. 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:18.280 Osa is a penetrating up the field, playing a single 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:19.640 gap at all times. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:21.800 Tackle three techniques. 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.840 Mazi is still in the stages of learning then that 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:31.800 Joseph is getting, but he's getting more and more into 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:36.480 football shape. So and now you're acting guys that were 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:43.280 ghosting watched, I watched. These are backup players, fellas, and 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:47.400 so now you're acting guys to play what they are 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:48.600 not used to playing. 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.880 And so this is the result. 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.520 Even though years and years of teams beating us with 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.240 the run, it's even worse now because you have a 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.840 coach with a different system, with a different discipline that. 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:03.760 He's trying to teach. 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.840 Our corners don't even play the same people like our 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.880 corners are getting beat. They don't even play the same 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.680 style of football that they were a customed to playing. 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:17.640 And on the edge and your edge rushers, your down parsons, 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:24.040 Lawrence Neelan, Sam Williams see uh. And at linebacker, you're 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.440 down Kendricks. And so you've got overshown who's got loads 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:33.120 of potential playing his uh sixth NFL game in a 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:38.360 new defense, Demone Clark in a new defense who didn't play. 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.120 Anything okay last night, no snaps last week. 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:47.280 And Leah fowl is another one who's a rookie playing 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.320 his game and. 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.200 He got hurt and came back and played. 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:57.080 Yes, So you basically had two rookies and a third 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:02.160 year linebacker who played his first full season last year 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.520 Clark right, Because the rookie year. 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.240 He was hurt. He didn't get back till uh late 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:08.280 in the season. 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:16.440 And and you were relying on one two. I want 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:21.240 to say three guys off the practice squad that now 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.240 are playing in the game. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.439 Lawson uh o u. 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:36.800 kJ, Henry was Henry Cincinnati's practice was right things and 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.520 you're and you're and by the way, you're playing against 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.920 the highest scoring team of the league that has continuity 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.240 from the last two years, not just the last year, 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.520 with four former first round draft picks on their offensive line. 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:54.080 And it showed because they were getting knocked off the liners. 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.760 And and I'm not I don't make apologies. I just 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.560 tell you what I see. I tell you what I know. 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:06.560 And there's nowhere in the world that the number one 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:10.280 offensive line in my status because I made them number 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.200 one from watching them against the Rams and overtime run 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:17.199 eight straight times down the field for a touchdown. I 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.240 never forgot that. And I told everybody on my shoulder, 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:24.040 I do I say, I'll bring this back up. When 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:28.760 you have a unit that is dominant as this offensive 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:33.240 line is, and you are asking for young guys slash 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:37.679 perennial backups to stop that is a that is a 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.880 no can do. That's why I had to put all 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.680 my marbles on the offense, even though we got young 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:47.000 guys on offensive line. Then we got a mixed match 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.840 of guys that but I still had. You had to 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:54.720 put your belief somewhere, and it was in See Mickey's 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:56.720 been saying that, I've been saying that, you've been going 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:57.479 along with it. 0:18:58.200 --> 0:18:58.680 Yesterday. 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.960 You could have kicked thirty five seventy one yard field 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:03.600 goals and you won't win this game. 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:05.360 I'm sorry. 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.800 Yeah, and and and that's the Lion. 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.320 The Lions scored on nine straight. 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.880 Possessions, five touchdowns. 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.360 Five touchdowns, four field goes, nine straight. 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:17.720 Straight and didn't stop them, did not. 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:21.800 They put the backup quarterback and running backs in and 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:22.720 they stopped them with. 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.639 Four fifty something left one. 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:30.480 No punts, no punts. I don't believe they And so 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.880 that that's where the Lions are. Attrition has not hit 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.600 that team yet. Now it will hit that team. It 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.000 started hitting it in the third quarter when they lost 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.280 their best defensive player. And it's just the nature of 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.840 the game. It's it's what do you have to fill in? 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.720 And that's where the Cowboys are right now because of 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:51.040 the salary cap situation where they weren't able to do 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.080 what they normally do in the off season, even as 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.640 far as filling in some of the blanks. They're having 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.720 to go with the younger players, and so that's why 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.159 they are where they are right now. The hope is 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.800 that as they fight through this, get some players back healthy, 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.080 that by the second half of the season they will 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.280 be able to start and improve be competitive. 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.560 Right the Lions came in averaging one hundred and fifty 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:19.160 one yards of rushing a game. They went for they 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:24.120 came in averaging three yards less than four hundred yards 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:28.720 a game and they had four sixty four was it for. 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:35.280 Ninety two? So they kind of did what they've been doing. 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.840 And thank god they lined up wrong with some of 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:39.679 them trick plays. 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:44.200 You know. You know what's so funny, if. 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:48.440 If I if I heard Skipper report was more time eligible. 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:53.200 They that Jimmy used to do that if we get 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:56.000 a chance, were gonna rub it in right and and 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:59.960 he he did it. It just wasn't successful once again 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:03.480 and all of his extra guys, it just didn't work out. 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:05.920 You know what you asked what Jerry said, and one 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.920 of the things Jerry said afterwards, he said, I hated 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.000 that they had fun at our expense. 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:14.080 Yes they did, and they had fun. 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:21.560 And defensively, so once you get behind, like everybody talks 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:24.280 about how well the Cowboys go against the grain, they 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:25.200 don't defer. 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:27.520 They take the ball. I'm going, hell, yes, I want 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:27.920 the ball. 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:30.879 I don't want to be behind the first seven minutes 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:34.199 of the game because my defense can't stop anybody. I 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:36.160 want the ball and I want to score. 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:38.359 What good is it going to do for you to 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:40.280 take the ball first in the second half when you're 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:41.560 down twenty seven to three. 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:47.200 Yeah, it's like and so what happened was you got 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.639 behind at one point, it's seventeen to three, ready to 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:53.680 be twenty to three whatever. And if you looked at 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:57.600 what Detroit was doing with their defensive front, at times 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:00.520 they had six guys on the line of scrim and 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.280 they're all coming because the Cowboys aren't going to run 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.840 the ball, right, they got to throw and the other. 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:09.120 Where are you gonna run? 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:09.840 No chance? 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.720 And then they put five there and they're sending everybody. 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:16.080 Everybody's coming and you can't block. 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:21.120 The one time they sent six and Dak got sacked 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:24.200 because the guy came clean right through the middle. 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.679 Lipke who's at full back. 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:31.360 He doubled the guy to the right and the guy 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:32.240 looped around. 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:35.400 It was it was a game, and he didn't read 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:35.800 the game. 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:40.480 Yeah, but the Tom Brady did. 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:42.959 He pointed, he said, these are the little things that 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:44.920 you have to be aware of. As it right. 0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:49.120 Well, fellas see, and he did what Dak did. 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:49.560 Nate. 0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:50.720 He got in a hurry. 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:52.960 It's like, okay, I gotta hurry up and get in 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:55.160 there and block and just hang in there. 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:59.720 But once they once they got ahead, experience dead meat 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:01.000 us exactly. 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:05.840 This is what I've been harping on for the I 0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:11.240 count right here six seven, eight nine. This our quarterback 0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:17.960 has be getting brutalized, not with sacks, but just quarterback. 0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:21.960 Hit after hit after hit after hit. I can't imagine 0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:23.320 what's going through his mind. 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:26.960
