Speaker 2: Walls either. You know, when the tough get when the
Speaker 2: tough gets go.
Speaker 3: How's that go?
Speaker 2: When the tough gets going, when the going gets tough,
Speaker 2: the tough get going. And Everson and Everson got going.
Speaker 2: So you've got myself, Bill Jones, You've got the star
Speaker 2: of the show, Mickey Spagnola. But we also have Phil
Speaker 2: in Forever soon the Walls, the sixth time Pro Bowler,
Speaker 2: Nate in Frisco, and I can't wait to hear what
Speaker 2: Nate has to say, not only about Sunday, about going
Speaker 2: forward for this football team. Hello, how are we.
Speaker 3: On the day after great? I am super good? Uh
Speaker 3: one thing.
Speaker 4: That Nate and I did a good job yesterday.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, you knocked it out of the park.
Speaker 5: And so are you waiting for our comments for the game?
Speaker 5: Just you can go first, No, the namesake mix shots.
Speaker 4: Give us your opinion, well as I am.
Speaker 2: Did the sun come up today, Mickey?
Speaker 4: Oh, it did, okay, bright and early too.
Speaker 6: By the way, as I wrote in my column that's
Speaker 6: going to get posted in a bit at about a
Speaker 6: sneak preview to thirty five yes Friday. When I discovered
Speaker 6: that Eric Kendricks was not going to play, When I
Speaker 6: discovered that Doran Bland and Kaylin Carson, although listed questionable,
Speaker 6: they don't have a designation as highly questionable, and we're
Speaker 6: not going to play, I decided I didn't like my pick.
Speaker 6: I wanted to take it back, and the fact that
Speaker 6: if the Cowboys didn't score forty something, they probably weren't
Speaker 6: going to have a chance to win this game. And
Speaker 6: as it turned out, they didn't even score ten, and
Speaker 6: they didn't have a chance to win this game after
Speaker 6: they failed miserably on their first two drives all the
Speaker 6: way down the field into the red zone. Once again,
Speaker 6: that is now the twilight zone because they can't score touchdowns.
Speaker 6: And once that took place.
Speaker 2: Well, the other thing is you're not scoring touchdowns, but
Speaker 2: there are a number of where they're not gettings either.
Speaker 2: They're turning it over.
Speaker 6: And that's when this whole thing turned into an onslaught.
Speaker 2: And here we.
Speaker 6: Are three and three at the bye and the only
Speaker 6: good thing I can say about the outcome of that
Speaker 6: game is it only counts one loss and there's still
Speaker 6: three and three, one game out of first place.
Speaker 3: Wow, how about that? That was nice?
Speaker 2: Spoke his column right there.
Speaker 3: Did you did you have a thought about this game?
Speaker 2: It was very similar. I was not saying forty points,
Speaker 2: but I said, in order with the with the absentees
Speaker 2: on defense, starting with the defensive ends and Kendricks and playing,
Speaker 2: they were going to have to score at least thirty
Speaker 2: points to win this game.
Speaker 4: I exaggerated for it. What thirties?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And and then you look at the other side
Speaker 2: and I don't know, now they they We've had a
Speaker 2: couple of injuries that have a couple of guys on
Speaker 2: injured reserve from earlier in the year. But if you
Speaker 2: look at the Lions injury report, they were fully healthy
Speaker 2: for this game. Got their Pro Bowl center back Frank
Speaker 2: Ragnow in time for this game. May were coming off
Speaker 2: of bye week, playing very well with all their weapons
Speaker 2: and so forth, and so it was a mismatch on paper,
Speaker 2: and I thought Mike McCarthy after the game said, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: where the Lions are right now or we are right now,
Speaker 2: they're better football team right now.
Speaker 4: Penny added that we needed to score points.
Speaker 3: Right and he also added that.
Speaker 5: Takeaways and not getting takeaways really hurts at this point.
Speaker 5: Just sixteen first downs, two by rushing, ten by passing,
Speaker 5: four by penalties, three for thirteen on third down.
Speaker 3: That's that's two.
Speaker 5: Hundred and fifty one yards of net yards. Fellas, this
Speaker 5: is the telling tale for the Dallas Cowboys on offense,
Speaker 5: all plays running and passing, we were three point nine
Speaker 5: per attempt of anything.
Speaker 4: And they were twice as much.
Speaker 5: And they were seven point five. The thing that I
Speaker 5: preached and preached and preached is that in order to
Speaker 5: be competitive in this league, you have to have a
Speaker 5: unit on your team that can dominate or possibly dictate
Speaker 5: the outcome of a game. And the only two units
Speaker 5: that give you this opportunity to do that is your
Speaker 5: offensive line or your defensive line.
Speaker 3: Fellas, that is nowhere near in sight.
Speaker 5: We don't have a dominant defensive line, and we definitely
Speaker 5: don't have a dominant offensive line.
Speaker 3: So what we have seen.
Speaker 5: It's more to come until we fix these problems and
Speaker 5: become at least adequate. And our quarterback cannot do this alone, don't.
Speaker 5: I don't care what you think of Dak. Dak needs
Speaker 5: to calm down. He just throws to the open receipt
Speaker 5: and don't for you can't.
Speaker 2: You cannot be concerned that your injury depleted on defense.
Speaker 2: Try to make up for that by doing things beyond
Speaker 2: what the basically what the defense is, giving a character.
Speaker 6: And let me add one thing to what you said
Speaker 6: when you pointed out they had two hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: one total yards. Eighty three of them came their last
Speaker 6: two percenttions. I know, really when the game was sort
Speaker 6: of being played, they had one hundred and sixty eight
Speaker 6: total yards period.
Speaker 3: Yes, and.
Speaker 4: The five turnovers, three of them were of significance.
Speaker 6: One was an interception late when you're desperate, and another
Speaker 6: one was a fumble by a rookie who caught his
Speaker 6: first NFL pass and he fumbled it.
Speaker 2: Well, even Dak's second interception, I mean Dak's interception, Cooper
Speaker 2: Russia's interception, and the Illinois they were all the game
Speaker 2: was long decided, So throw out those three, yeah, right,
Speaker 2: three of them.
Speaker 3: Yes, the thing that this is what bothers you.
Speaker 5: Basically, the same interception a week ago was the interception
Speaker 5: this week. And Dak should He's been around enough to
Speaker 5: know no matter what your number one receiver wants or desires,
Speaker 5: if it's not there, be weary of it.
Speaker 3: Because check this out. The corner had.
Speaker 5: The flats that was ten yards ahead of him. He
Speaker 5: played the situation like that's gonna throw it. He's gonna
Speaker 5: force this to CD and he just.
Speaker 3: Act like he was gonna cover the guy coming out
Speaker 3: into the flat. Well, that was the guy that throws you.
Speaker 6: But Dak should have at least and he admitted afterwards
Speaker 6: in the interview that he needed to hold that guy
Speaker 6: by looking at Tolbert in the flat at the line
Speaker 6: of scrimmage, and he got in a hurry and he
Speaker 6: hurried himself and he didn't hold the corner and he
Speaker 6: dropped back into the end zone off his guy to
Speaker 6: intercept the past. He go back, but he could know
Speaker 6: if he would have thrown it to Tolbert, it would
Speaker 6: have been a first down if nothing else.
Speaker 3: That is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: When he rushed himself, he could.
Speaker 3: Have rushed all day I'm talking about what the defensive players.
Speaker 5: He could have looked this guy if you go back,
Speaker 5: he had already sold out to this corner, had already
Speaker 5: sold out.
Speaker 3: It's no way he could have got there if even
Speaker 3: if Dak would have looked at him, he wasn't looking
Speaker 3: at Dak. He was dropping back right.
Speaker 5: So it no matter what Dak would have did the
Speaker 5: safe and secure play. And that is what Dak has
Speaker 5: got to get back to, is what's that flat? That
Speaker 5: was the only play he had? And so and you
Speaker 5: got to and I hoping, O Johnny, Yes, and you
Speaker 5: got to be willing to dink and dunk for the
Speaker 5: life of your defense and to keep your tight end involved.

Speaker 4: I got it.
Speaker 2: I got in a hurry, Yes you did. That's right.
Speaker 2: Got to take what the defense gives.
Speaker 4: You, right right, don't get greedy?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: Where to start here?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 2: Where would you like to art?
Speaker 5: So it has coach had anything to say?
Speaker 2: The change the schedule where hes had moved up to
Speaker 2: thirty press conference?
Speaker 4: How about the players I think missed today?
Speaker 6: He was, He was rather frustrated, humbled, mister Jones, mister
Speaker 6: Jones on his eighty second birthday, There was not much
Speaker 6: to celebrate.
Speaker 2: It was immediately after the game.
Speaker 6: And then I wasn't there, but I heard that he
Speaker 6: got a little bit testy when they kept badgering him
Speaker 6: with whose job was going to be lost during the
Speaker 6: bye And at one point he says.
Speaker 4: What do you think I'm an idiot?
Speaker 2: We used that last night?
Speaker 3: You did?
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 4: Well, then you may know better than me.
Speaker 2: I didn't hear the context.
Speaker 4: Yes, in fact, and let's let's clear this up too.
Speaker 6: They're three and three right. The only time in this
Speaker 6: franchise's history they changed coaches mid season, it was twenty ten.
Speaker 6: They were one in seven and oh, by the way,
Speaker 6: got beat by McCarthy's Packers by eight thirty eight points.
Speaker 4: It was a little bit different back then.
Speaker 5: The thing that is overwhelming for this team, and no
Speaker 5: one is bringing it up, and I don't know why.
Speaker 5: I've heard a couple of my compadres, guys that know
Speaker 5: a little.
Speaker 3: Football keep we changed.
Speaker 5: Coaches defensively, and the players that are there have not
Speaker 5: played in this system. And what I mean by that
Speaker 5: is our tackles are two gap in tackles, though they
Speaker 5: may have a gap at certain times. You're acting guys
Speaker 5: to be more precise with their hands, to hold off blockers,
Speaker 5: to eat up blockers.
Speaker 3: That is not who OSA is.
Speaker 5: Osa is a penetrating up the field, playing a single
Speaker 5: gap at all times.
Speaker 3: Tackle three techniques.
Speaker 5: Mazi is still in the stages of learning then that
Speaker 5: Joseph is getting, but he's getting more and more into
Speaker 5: football shape. So and now you're acting guys that were
Speaker 5: ghosting watched, I watched. These are backup players, fellas, and
Speaker 5: so now you're acting guys to play what they are
Speaker 5: not used to playing.
Speaker 3: And so this is the result.
Speaker 5: Even though years and years of teams beating us with
Speaker 5: the run, it's even worse now because you have a
Speaker 5: coach with a different system, with a different discipline that.
Speaker 3: He's trying to teach.
Speaker 5: Our corners don't even play the same people like our
Speaker 5: corners are getting beat. They don't even play the same
Speaker 5: style of football that they were a customed to playing.
Speaker 2: And on the edge and your edge rushers, your down parsons,
Speaker 2: Lawrence Neelan, Sam Williams see uh. And at linebacker, you're
Speaker 2: down Kendricks. And so you've got overshown who's got loads
Speaker 2: of potential playing his uh sixth NFL game in a
Speaker 2: new defense, Demone Clark in a new defense who didn't play.
Speaker 3: Anything okay last night, no snaps last week.
Speaker 2: And Leah fowl is another one who's a rookie playing
Speaker 2: his game and.
Speaker 4: He got hurt and came back and played.
Speaker 6: Yes, So you basically had two rookies and a third
Speaker 6: year linebacker who played his first full season last year
Speaker 6: Clark right, Because the rookie year.
Speaker 4: He was hurt. He didn't get back till uh late
Speaker 4: in the season.
Speaker 6: And and you were relying on one two. I want
Speaker 6: to say three guys off the practice squad that now
Speaker 6: are playing in the game.
Speaker 4: Lawson uh o u.
Speaker 2: kJ, Henry was Henry Cincinnati's practice was right things and
Speaker 2: you're and you're and by the way, you're playing against
Speaker 2: the highest scoring team of the league that has continuity
Speaker 2: from the last two years, not just the last year,
Speaker 2: with four former first round draft picks on their offensive line.
Speaker 6: And it showed because they were getting knocked off the liners.
Speaker 5: And and I'm not I don't make apologies. I just
Speaker 5: tell you what I see. I tell you what I know.
Speaker 5: And there's nowhere in the world that the number one
Speaker 5: offensive line in my status because I made them number
Speaker 5: one from watching them against the Rams and overtime run
Speaker 5: eight straight times down the field for a touchdown. I
Speaker 5: never forgot that. And I told everybody on my shoulder,
Speaker 5: I do I say, I'll bring this back up. When
Speaker 5: you have a unit that is dominant as this offensive
Speaker 5: line is, and you are asking for young guys slash
Speaker 5: perennial backups to stop that is a that is a
Speaker 5: no can do. That's why I had to put all
Speaker 5: my marbles on the offense, even though we got young
Speaker 5: guys on offensive line. Then we got a mixed match
Speaker 5: of guys that but I still had. You had to
Speaker 5: put your belief somewhere, and it was in See Mickey's
Speaker 5: been saying that, I've been saying that, you've been going
Speaker 5: along with it.
Speaker 3: Yesterday.
Speaker 5: You could have kicked thirty five seventy one yard field
Speaker 5: goals and you won't win this game.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and and that's the Lion.
Speaker 2: The Lions scored on nine straight.
Speaker 3: Possessions, five touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Five touchdowns, four field goes, nine straight.
Speaker 4: Straight and didn't stop them, did not.
Speaker 6: They put the backup quarterback and running backs in and
Speaker 6: they stopped them with.
Speaker 4: Four fifty something left one.
Speaker 2: No punts, no punts. I don't believe they And so
Speaker 2: that that's where the Lions are. Attrition has not hit
Speaker 2: that team yet. Now it will hit that team. It
Speaker 2: started hitting it in the third quarter when they lost
Speaker 2: their best defensive player. And it's just the nature of
Speaker 2: the game. It's it's what do you have to fill in?
Speaker 2: And that's where the Cowboys are right now because of
Speaker 2: the salary cap situation where they weren't able to do
Speaker 2: what they normally do in the off season, even as
Speaker 2: far as filling in some of the blanks. They're having
Speaker 2: to go with the younger players, and so that's why
Speaker 2: they are where they are right now. The hope is
Speaker 2: that as they fight through this, get some players back healthy,
Speaker 2: that by the second half of the season they will
Speaker 2: be able to start and improve be competitive.
Speaker 6: Right the Lions came in averaging one hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: one yards of rushing a game. They went for they
Speaker 6: came in averaging three yards less than four hundred yards
Speaker 6: a game and they had four sixty four was it for.
Speaker 4: Ninety two? So they kind of did what they've been doing.
Speaker 5: And thank god they lined up wrong with some of
Speaker 5: them trick plays.
Speaker 3: You know. You know what's so funny, if.
Speaker 6: If I if I heard Skipper report was more time eligible.
Speaker 5: They that Jimmy used to do that if we get
Speaker 5: a chance, were gonna rub it in right and and
Speaker 5: he he did it. It just wasn't successful once again
Speaker 5: and all of his extra guys, it just didn't work out.
Speaker 6: You know what you asked what Jerry said, and one
Speaker 6: of the things Jerry said afterwards, he said, I hated
Speaker 6: that they had fun at our expense.
Speaker 3: Yes they did, and they had fun.
Speaker 6: And defensively, so once you get behind, like everybody talks
Speaker 6: about how well the Cowboys go against the grain, they
Speaker 6: don't defer.
Speaker 4: They take the ball. I'm going, hell, yes, I want
Speaker 4: the ball.
Speaker 6: I don't want to be behind the first seven minutes
Speaker 6: of the game because my defense can't stop anybody. I
Speaker 6: want the ball and I want to score.
Speaker 2: What good is it going to do for you to
Speaker 2: take the ball first in the second half when you're
Speaker 2: down twenty seven to three.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like and so what happened was you got
Speaker 6: behind at one point, it's seventeen to three, ready to
Speaker 6: be twenty to three whatever. And if you looked at
Speaker 6: what Detroit was doing with their defensive front, at times
Speaker 6: they had six guys on the line of scrim and
Speaker 6: they're all coming because the Cowboys aren't going to run
Speaker 6: the ball, right, they got to throw and the other.
Speaker 4: Where are you gonna run?
Speaker 2: No chance?
Speaker 6: And then they put five there and they're sending everybody.
Speaker 4: Everybody's coming and you can't block.
Speaker 6: The one time they sent six and Dak got sacked
Speaker 6: because the guy came clean right through the middle.
Speaker 4: Lipke who's at full back.
Speaker 6: He doubled the guy to the right and the guy
Speaker 6: looped around.
Speaker 3: It was it was a game, and he didn't read
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but the Tom Brady did.
Speaker 3: He pointed, he said, these are the little things that
Speaker 3: you have to be aware of. As it right.
Speaker 4: Well, fellas see, and he did what Dak did.
Speaker 3: Nate.
Speaker 4: He got in a hurry.
Speaker 6: It's like, okay, I gotta hurry up and get in
Speaker 6: there and block and just hang in there.
Speaker 4: But once they once they got ahead, experience dead meat
Speaker 4: us exactly.
Speaker 5: This is what I've been harping on for the I
Speaker 5: count right here six seven, eight nine. This our quarterback
Speaker 5: has be getting brutalized, not with sacks, but just quarterback.
Speaker 3: Hit after hit after hit after hit. I can't imagine
Speaker 3: what's going through his mind.
Speaker 5: After almost every other throw, it's either a sack or
Speaker 5: hit or hurry. This is not fair. And I will
Speaker 5: keep saying this, and I will not back up off
Speaker 5: of it. Even when you're running into a brick wall,
Speaker 5: you have to continue to run the ball. Two things
Speaker 5: you are doing right now as an offensive coordinator. And
Speaker 5: what people don't understand is you're demoralizing your offensive line
Speaker 5: and you're beating your quarterback up. And I'm asking the question,
Speaker 5: is it worth it.
Speaker 3: You're losing the game.
Speaker 5: You're losing the game, you're down by more than twenty
Speaker 5: five points. I would have said, you know what, y'all,
Speaker 5: let's start working on next week. That's the week after.
Speaker 5: Let's run the ball, let's get some continuity, let's do
Speaker 5: some screens. Hey, Tom Brady's talked about it. He said,
Speaker 5: what are they doing? Run screens, do anything. Just don't
Speaker 5: let your quarterback just get continuously hit.
Speaker 2: Well, the one drive that they had that ended in
Speaker 2: the end zone interception started at their own thirty yard
Speaker 2: line with nine minutes to go in the first quarter.
Speaker 2: They did throw to CD and Tolbert to start the drive, okay,
Speaker 2: but then it was Zeke for three. There was a
Speaker 2: penalty of holding penalty. It was a sack by Hutchinson
Speaker 2: that got negated because of a defensive hold. But then
Speaker 2: it was Zeke for two, Zeke for two. You're not
Speaker 2: getting much, yes, but you're showing it, okay, and then
Speaker 2: turping for twenty two on a third and six play,
Speaker 2: and then it was Zeke minus one ferguson plus seven.
Speaker 2: There was a mix though, even though you're not getting
Speaker 2: a lot of yards running, there was a mix of
Speaker 2: running pass on that drive, and you're able to matriculate
Speaker 2: your way down the field and you get to the
Speaker 2: red zone, you're facing third and five at the six
Speaker 2: yard line, and you throw for the end zone rather
Speaker 2: the flat to Tolbert and taking what the defense was
Speaker 2: given you there.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: And then see we were down by maybe ten or
Speaker 5: twelve and we went for it a.
Speaker 3: Fourth and whatever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it was that towards the end of the half,
Speaker 5: and I said I would punt it. And people say why,
Speaker 5: I said, because that would give them an extra thirty
Speaker 5: yards or forty yards, I said, But I'm not going
Speaker 5: to give them that ball right here. People say, well,
Speaker 5: you're trying to win the game. Yeah, I am trying
Speaker 5: to win the game. But if you don't get this
Speaker 5: uh first down, you just beat your team again.
Speaker 3: Certain things.
Speaker 6: It was twenty to three, yes, and then in minutes
Speaker 6: it was twenty seven to three.
Speaker 2: And by the way, mackey, mackey, mickey, you put your
Speaker 2: referee cap on. Yes, Terry and Arnold. The mugging of Gavante.
Speaker 4: Turn oh my god, my god.
Speaker 2: Mickey immediately, Oh my goodness, all over this fourth at
Speaker 2: fourth and two at the thirty eight yard line when
Speaker 2: they did go for it, right, and oh my, that
Speaker 2: was lugging.
Speaker 4: How do you not call that?
Speaker 2: Having said that, I just agree with you. I agree
Speaker 2: with you. Just punted, punted away the ball.
Speaker 3: The thing the thing that I don't.
Speaker 2: However, with two thirty nine left the way that.
Speaker 3: I'd rather put them to go to extra, make them go.
Speaker 2: Sixty eight or or seventy eight yards rather than thirty
Speaker 2: eight yards.
Speaker 3: Oh, I could not believe.
Speaker 5: And the thing about it, we had our best penalty day.
Speaker 3: We didn't have penalties because they weren't.
Speaker 2: Going to call anything, even I guess the Cowboys early
Speaker 2: in the game the past that was complete uh.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: That was obvious interference, which they did not throw the
Speaker 2: flag on. But it was a catch by the Lions,
Speaker 2: and I was just like, Okay, that's they're not going
Speaker 2: to call it any day. Yeah, And they didn't. So
Speaker 2: the other part of that, they didn't call it on
Speaker 2: the Lions on the turpin play, and they didn't call
Speaker 2: it on the Cowboys either on the but the but
Speaker 2: the Lions completely.
Speaker 6: Did best I did right down, jumped on Turpin's back.
Speaker 6: But it was three at that pointyeah, right.
Speaker 5: You you know, and everybody, like I said, everybody like numbers.
Speaker 5: We all I got numbers. You know, everybody got numbers.
Speaker 5: None of them favored the Cowboys. But when you realized,
Speaker 5: like coach realized, when I go back to this, I
Speaker 5: was so mad after the first Rams practice scrimmage, and
Speaker 5: I told everybody that would listen, I said, y'all, we
Speaker 5: just got beat up in practice.
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 5: Their temple was so much better than ours. And by
Speaker 5: the end of practice we caught up to them, but
Speaker 5: you were at our practice facility and you were getting
Speaker 5: all over us. And then they came a second time
Speaker 5: and I watched seven on seven or whatever you call it,
Speaker 5: and their corners was coming up nail and our receivers
Speaker 5: and I look over on our defensive field and we
Speaker 5: tapping them. Aggression is something that builds. Physicalness is something
Speaker 5: that you build and work on. People say you the
Speaker 5: guy that you don't know. No, No, Jimmy helped change us. Now,
Speaker 5: you do bring in players like Charles Haley. You do
Speaker 5: bring in players like Eric Williams.
Speaker 2: Physical word receiver, you set the culture.
Speaker 5: Right, but you can't sit there and that bothered me.
Speaker 5: That bothered me. Then that bothered me. Now you are
Speaker 5: gonna have to as a player. I'm finishing this guy
Speaker 5: as an offensive lineman. I was always a physical guy.
Speaker 5: I always was a maller. But when I saw big E,
Speaker 5: I understood what it was to finish it again.
Speaker 2: All right, hold that thought, okaud, I want to get
Speaker 2: back because we've got a six time Pro Bowl offensive lineman.
Speaker 2: Finish out the show. Let's talk about the offensive line
Speaker 2: when we come back on mixshot in a moment.

Speaker 2: Everson will be on at two o'clock tomorrow.
Speaker 6: And right, and he was doing some NFL CT testing
Speaker 6: CTE test.
Speaker 4: It's gonna longer.
Speaker 6: And oh, by the way, before we get to the offensive,
Speaker 6: I wanted to point out you were talking about how
Speaker 6: you brought in Charles Haley and you kind of want
Speaker 6: some guys that are a little off center. That also
Speaker 6: was supposed to be Sam Williams, because he's a little
Speaker 6: bit off center, as you could see on the penalties
Speaker 6: he had on special teams.
Speaker 5: The thing they'll make that I try to tell people
Speaker 5: is like, even when this kid number thirteen Overshown until
Speaker 5: we get some blood, sweat and tears on the field,
Speaker 5: I just don't know about Sam.
Speaker 3: I really don't.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say anything good or bad, but we
Speaker 5: need to see him like we need to see we know.
Speaker 5: I promise you. If Overshown had a little bit better
Speaker 5: defensive line, he will be unstoppable. Just by looking at
Speaker 5: the film of his speed and his ability to react.
Speaker 5: If we just had a half of defensive line, him
Speaker 5: and Kendricks probably have thirty tackles of peace. But due
Speaker 5: to the fact that they don't, Overshown just look like
Speaker 5: a guy now running behind guys going down the field.
Speaker 4: Well, he chas h.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I'm saying, And that's that's the sad
Speaker 5: part is here we have two or three good linebackers,
Speaker 5: Like I've been watching plays Number eighteen, the.
Speaker 2: Bone Clark man, this kid.
Speaker 4: I know this kid can play.
Speaker 6: What happened was he got displaced because they were trying
Speaker 6: to use him outside.
Speaker 4: He's not outside. He needs to be in the middle.
Speaker 5: This kid got something to see when you change coordinators.
Speaker 5: And he drafted a guy in the third round he's
Speaker 5: gonna give I don't want to mess with this kid.
Speaker 3: I've messed it up.
Speaker 4: Louis Lui foul, Louis foul.
Speaker 3: I've missed this kid name up enough he had. He
Speaker 3: wants to to play.
Speaker 4: Let's go Maristo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marits. They want marriage to play. They brought Kendrick
Speaker 3: is this guy.
Speaker 5: So those two guys are going to play now thirteen Overshawn.
Speaker 3: Forced his way in the like, coach, you can't I'm
Speaker 3: too good. You're not gonna keephim on the field, not
Speaker 3: just playing nickel.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so he forced his way snap now yeah, so
Speaker 5: that put number eighteen ours. That put number eighteen out
Speaker 5: and he and he made some plays yesterday when when
Speaker 5: they were there for him to make He.
Speaker 2: Ran that guy about that one play.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he put that on your real I
Speaker 12: just hope that uh we knew this, but now it
Speaker 12: is number seven.
Speaker 5: You could he could have had no game or two
Speaker 5: yard games and they turned into four in five. Number
Speaker 5: seven got to give us a little better in attack.
Speaker 5: Just just just try.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm with you, you all star.
Speaker 5: We've taken away your ability to jump rouse because they're
Speaker 5: not playing the same because there's no third and twenty
Speaker 5: third and fifteen third and ten. Everything is our first
Speaker 5: and second down is terrible. We did well on third down,
Speaker 5: but our first second down.
Speaker 2: It's one of the things that I've liked about Bland
Speaker 2: is his run support. Yes, you know, yes from day one.
Speaker 5: So we we we don't have a dominant unit and
Speaker 5: until we do, until we do, we will And y'all
Speaker 5: would ask me somebody about because so quickly I gotta
Speaker 5: be quick, right.
Speaker 2: And Tyler Goon getting play. Even though Tyler Goyton was
Speaker 2: active for the game, he didn't play. They went with
Speaker 2: Tyler Smith Beckett left tackle, TJ. Bassett left guard, and
Speaker 2: then after it became a blowout of course with Tyler
Speaker 2: Goyton nursing and knee injury. They didn't want to risk it,
Speaker 2: and so some Richards finished the game at left tackle.
Speaker 2: But in general, on the offensive line, as we get
Speaker 2: into this bye week and now San Francisco next week,
Speaker 2: what are you seeing needs to happen on that offensive line?
Speaker 5: Go back to your original settings. Go back to your
Speaker 5: original settings. Smith and left guard, you got a ride
Speaker 5: like that? You got that is what you want. That's
Speaker 5: what you have to do. The mix in this thing,
Speaker 5: fellas and the still has to play better. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: give Guidon the whole year to learn, and so next
Speaker 5: year I'll be judging him hard, but still has to
Speaker 5: play better.
Speaker 3: Everybody talking about the right guard.
Speaker 5: The right guard is eight hundred years old, he's on
Speaker 5: his last leg and he still plays okay. So the
Speaker 5: center is and hold his own. The left guard who
Speaker 5: is who he is? If they leave him at one
Speaker 5: spot and let him get good, let him continue to marinate.
Speaker 5: The left tackle is learning. Your right tackle is in
Speaker 5: his second year after a surgery. He has to hurry
Speaker 5: up this bottle. We has to be big for still
Speaker 5: to get his rest, to work on his technique and
Speaker 5: to become that guy we saw two years ago.
Speaker 3: You know he has to get better.
Speaker 4: So do you do?
Speaker 6: You have to keep being stubborn by not helping those guys.
Speaker 4: Out the thing they've done it some you can't.
Speaker 5: You can't help, right, I understand you got you got
Speaker 5: to pick a side and that and we, unfortunately the
Speaker 5: Cowboys have faced great pass rushers are teams that are
Speaker 5: able to rush the passer.
Speaker 4: It's well, guess what's coming next.
Speaker 3: If we don't run the ball at all.
Speaker 5: You take average pass rushes and make them great because
Speaker 5: they don't have to defend nothing else.
Speaker 3: And that's right, man.
Speaker 2: If you're falling behind, but thank you two touchdowns and
Speaker 2: you know what, and you said it three weeks ago.
Speaker 5: Whenever the Cowboys get fourteen points down, we lose anyway.
Speaker 5: Stick to the game playing run the ball some Because
Speaker 5: we lose anyway.
Speaker 3: People are like, oh, you ain't trying to win.
Speaker 5: No, I'm trying to protect that sixty million dollar quarterback
Speaker 5: and I'm trying to protect the mental state of my
Speaker 5: left tackle in my center.
Speaker 3: Yes, I got something to assume.
Speaker 2: The old New York Giants philosophy when they knocked off
Speaker 2: the Cowboys of the two thousand and seven playoffs where
Speaker 2: you just keep it, keep it a tight game going
Speaker 2: to the fourth quarter, and try to win it in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. Yes, where you can't let them get
Speaker 2: get away from you. Yes, when you fall behind like that,
Speaker 2: you have to assume that underdog mentality.
Speaker 6: In that game, the Giants basically said, your speed doesn't
Speaker 6: scare me, so you can run all you want. That's fine,
Speaker 6: but you're not going to beat me. With Tony Romo
Speaker 6: throwing the ball down the field and they held down
Speaker 6: the front with four guys, Marry and Barbara.
Speaker 4: What did he do?
Speaker 6: He had one hundred yards at halftime and they're like,
Speaker 6: go ahead. You're like a starving man eating yourself to death.
Speaker 3: Right wow? Wow?
Speaker 4: Am I right?
Speaker 3: I'm not starving? Make them good? All right? That does it.
Speaker 2: We're back at noon on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Speaker 6: Right right, and we've got a change in lineup to
Speaker 6: help us out. Kirk Kirk Daniels is with us and Jess.
Speaker 3: Is with us.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so make it a good Monday and
Speaker 2: we will see you again tomorrow at noon.
