You know, I'm 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.560 saying you minimize the game down to Tyresman playing or 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.720 not being the reason why we want Smith. 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.280 Would be the reason. That could be the difference. That 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.320 had nothing to do with it. They got to all Park, 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.079 they got to a part, So go ahead. I mean, 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:11.600 I mean, I was wrong, but. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.760 I know, I know we listen. 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.440 I'm just saying, we continue in talking about this Tyrn 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.480 Smith thing for years, and I lead it, and I 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.680 lead a room, and you say the San Francisco forty 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.160 dollars the reason we gonna beat them is because Tyrans 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:25.720 wound up. 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:28.760 No, No, I know, I know I was run on 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:29.600 seventy seven. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.600 No, no, no, listen, I'm okay, I'm okay.

You 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.040 know what I'm saying, Like I just came out of 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.760 nowhere with it. We've been texting about this since Sunday, 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.600 all right, so yeah, we know, we know you've been wrong, 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.079 but you know you're gonna come in here. 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:51.200 You know here is. 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:52.880 But I watched it and I was like, it was 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.440 more surprising than I expected it to be. But shout 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.239 out to you for asking the question and getting a 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.000 guy who's staying on the fence most of the time 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:00.880 to hop on hop. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.560 On over them. Yeah, stood up. Shout out to you. Man. 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.440 At the end of the day, seven had no was 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.560 seventy seven the reason they lost this game. 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.080 But he also wasn't the reason they would have won 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.080 the game, not single handling. No, I think that was 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.519 the question of the day. 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.600 This team took it to him. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:26.320 Everybody, players, coaches, everybody. So I was wrong in terms 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:27.800 of thinking seventy seven was gonna be. 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:29.119 It was nothing. 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.240 He I don't even know what his grade was, but 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:32.760 it wouldn't matter you too. 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.040 You was wrong to you, wrong to you, was right? 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:37.800 He wasn't here. 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.200 Yes, I want to I want to hit your thoughts 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:39.720 on this game. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.000 I was what you thought about it? Man? You was 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.560 their attendance. You've seen it, glad. 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:50.000 I ain't changed the pic, y'all look like. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:53.320 It, right? 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:54.160 What Kevin? 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:00.800 The one thing that and I spoke about it was, 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.720 cann't you put too much into a game that I 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.080 did bring up? And my fear was you brought so much, 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.120 You put so much into this and. 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.200 Then you take the budgeting you did. 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:20.560 Afterwards to sit up here you Micah, I'm right there 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.720 asking him the question as he proceeds to say, you know, 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.720 the score wasn't as bad as it indicated, and you know, 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.120 talent wise, we feel like we're right there, and I'm like, man, 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.200 this is some bravado talking. They stopped scoring, they took 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:37.919 the foot off the gas. I'm sitting the press box 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.520 like man, this twelve minutes to go. They still got 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.919 a whole another quarter which they can distribute more punishment. 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.359 It was like watching the Spence Bud Crawford fight, except 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:48.000 in football. 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:49.239 This was bad. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.560 This was bad and the whole measuring stick game that 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.040 they tried to put it in. I was kind of 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:54.640 worried about that. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:56.440 This is bad, bro. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:03.560 And they walked off this field basically laughing at you 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.240 as a team like many boys ain't got non of us. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.120 They but not in there, not in our class. And 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.000 and you gotta on it, you gotta take it. 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:12.880 So let's see it. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.240 Tyler Smith did say something that was really He says, 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.640 we will respond, so I want to see what the 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.240 response is. But CD was mad afterwards. Jay Ron Kurst 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:23.720 didn't want to talk. Ask him you want to talk. 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:25.960 I don't want to talk, Okay. 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:27.320 I'll cast don't want to say nothing. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:32.200 Well, one person is you can't stop talking. You can't stop. 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.000 It's not stopped talking. It's just like what you were 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.599 saying while you were like this doesn't add up as. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:38.080 To what we saw. 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:40.000 This was bad. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:41.920 And I was there for the first part of DAK 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.080 and he talked about he didn't expect it, didn't see it. 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.560 But my my My fear about putting so much into 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.320 one game is that you can sometimes put too much 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:49.320 into it and then you end up like. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.480 This, where it was just the whole other way. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.080 But being there on the being there at the stadium 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:58.240 and seeing how things were afterwards, and just then outside, man, 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.440 these I don't know where they were staffed for the 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.159 team or whatnot, but these. 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:04.719 Two dudes were sitting on one of those little card 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.080 to take things. Man, they turn on their boom box 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.599 weed them buys, holla right outside of the. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:13.680 Just throwing this salting. 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.159 Oh man, I was like, oh no, they now they 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.920 just taking the salteam crackers in the whole back and 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:21.000 they just throwing it on them. 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.200 And you literally had to take it as a with 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.000 the fans who were there, and you know, cowboys fans 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:26.560 showed up and you. 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.440 Had to take it. They were much much better. There 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.000 was nothing good to say. 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.919 Well, what is what is your what are your thoughts about? 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.160 Because you were It's like if you go to a 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.480 boxing match and you sit in ringside versus watching it 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.360 on TV, and you brought up the Spence fight being 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.080 in the stadium, what we saw on on on the 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.200 tape and on the TV. Was that we got our 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:55.840 physical you being there, Like, was it that obvious watching 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.760 it from the press box? The feeling that you got 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.000 after the game, I imagine like people walking out with 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.400 eye patches on the elbows and everybody craft up and stuff. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.360 But yeah, but like we had a lot of guys 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.280 go down, a lot of guys get hurt, and then 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.480 you also got out physical offensively and defensively. This is 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.160 the third time this has happened, all right, did it 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:17.120 feel that way. 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.400 Many when you guys were young, and heck, when I 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.880 were watching early super Bowl the used to be a blowouts, 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:25.280 and that's what it felt like. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.440 A super Bowl. You just got you thought we thought 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.320 we was about to see something good and blow out. 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.840 Or the times when I would go watch fights in 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.400 Vegas and you just go and they oh boy, I 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:35.320 thought I was about to see a fight. 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:36.960 You see it blow out And that's what it was. 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.240 It was a It was a blowout. They had one 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.400 offensive drive that was worth anything and nothing else. They 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.840 could not do anything with them. Kyle Shanahan was just 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:49.120 putting on a clinic. He stopped scoring. 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.120 It was Arnold got up in there. I thought they 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:52.880 was going for fifty. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.400 I mean he stopped the man put the mercy rule 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:57.800 like it was the TKO guy. 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.400 You know, he shows dan Quince some love. Doog had 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:01.040 the the hold on. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.480 Hey man, I'm gonna let you all come. 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:08.800 Ye remember I did this to you? Remember that right? 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.560 Okay, my name okay, get Yes. 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:15.680 It was that to be there in the stadium. It's 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.360 like a super Bowl, like, oh my gosh. You know 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.200 when when Denver took on Washington next thyear, it was 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:21.120 a forty two ten game. 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.320 It was just it was a beating. The forty nine 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:24.240 ers against fifty. 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:25.080 It was a beating. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:26.679 This is what we watched, a beating. 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.320 And for someone who has defended Dak Prescott a whole 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:32.199 lot there was there was. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.040 You couldn't defend anything you saw. 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:35.680 This was bad. 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.040 You were supposed to show the same way you told 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:39.920 us she was gonna show. I you saw him again 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:41.959 and then you had tank Lord talk about to get back. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.640 Didn't want to talk afterwards to me. He talked to 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.280 Gelkin for a little bit, but then he kept it quick. 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.400 But okay, there was no get back. I mean, you 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:53.000 guys got got and there was no lipstick putting on 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.439 the pig I thought McCarthy did a good job owning it. 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.640 But I go back to it's about the response, and 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.280 you have to respond to the Chargers week. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.480 Hopefully you look at the tape and there's enough there 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.240 that you said, boy, we have to clean up this 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:10.160 or that. But the questions are legitimate. Can your defense 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.280 stop anyone who's good? Can you stop a good quarterback? 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.600 The questions are legitimate about the quarterback? 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:17.960 Are you the right guy? 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:23.600 Can you Can you go beat a significant team? Beating 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.000 the Jets and beating the Giants and the Patriots is 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.240 one thing, but can you beat a Charger team that 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.679 people think is good? And even if you do, people 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.760 are still gonna say, you those cowboys, what can you 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.480 do when it truly matters? 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.520 So they're gonna have to let this play out. We'll 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.880 see where they go. But that was that was bad. 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.400 That was just bad to watch you walk down there 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.320 and you figure, now, I'm not gonna do what Dante Whitner. 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:52.480 I saw Rodney Harrison. 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:59.040 After I wanted to ask you. I want to I 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:03.559 want to tell you because because new he said it, 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:04.640 new he said it. 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.440 He've been defending Dak Prescott for a long time and listen, 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.800 you can still go on all the social media platforms 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.400 and you see the people who have who felt like 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.600 they may have went too hard on Dak Prescott. Now 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.160 they all just all defenders of everything. I see Kurt 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:19.760 Wanner doing film study of all this. 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:21.080 I'm like brom Bro. 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.320 You can say that the dude is not playing well 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.800 or hasn't played well or didn't play well in that game, 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.760 can we can? Is that a fair assessment of like 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.240 Dak Prescott so far throughout the season with five touchdowns 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.760 for deceptions, is it a fair assessment to say that 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.360 so far the Dak Prescott that we expected to show 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.360 up has not showed up. I think it's a fair 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:47.040 assessment to say that your eyeball test on Sunday's game 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:48.400 would have told you that they got to beat one 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.320 hundred to zero. The score didn't matter all right. They 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.520 got beat up in every facet of watching a football game. 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.360 And the criticism of Dak is fair because what you've 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.480 been asking for Dak to do and these situations against 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:05.000 teams like these, to show up to make the defining play, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:09.079 like you've seen your defining plays. Everybody's looking for that 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.439 from Dak. But I'm telling you, if you go back, 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.320 as we've all watched the tape, it. 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.160 Wasn't just on him. There were bigger pieces to what 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.079 broke down in the game plan. 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.120 And that's why when you come back from a loss 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.800 like this, the questions are big and looming a general 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.560 overarching because it's like, damn, Mike, how'd you come into 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.000 the game with that game plan? Because none of that 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.040 worked right. Even going back to Kellen and what Kellen 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.160 would have caused, My thing is this, Kellen didn't win 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.679 a Super Bowl. Kellen didn't win an NFC championship. He 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.200 ain't get under that done. He lost to this same team. 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.319 But to come into this game and get beat like that, 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.480 the eyeball test was like, man, this is bad because 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.760 no one, no one could have predicted that this loss 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.720 would have been this lopsided. Even if the Cowboys at 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.240 won forty two to ten, I would have been like, man, 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:55.839 I wouldn't have thought we'd have walked in there and 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.599 did them like that. I mean, this might be a 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.400 little bit misjudged by this, this victory. But the San 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.360 Francisco forty nine ers, you have to give them credit 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.760 where credit is due. They called a masterful game plan, 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.720 as we talked about yesterday. Buff for Dak he got 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.000 to sit on the criticism. And you guys know, when 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.400 y'all go back and watch the film, there are reasons 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.160 for why, Guys, he's throwing an interception like Kurt Warner 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.000 gives you illustrates like guy's breaking the routs at the 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.839 same time or not. That's just all time and that's 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.480 all practice. How do you go to Levi Stadium and 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.960 get that wrong? What a deep ball didn't have nothing 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.120 to do with Yeah? Okay, but yes, but I do 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:29.960 I understand what you're saying. Are we gonna go there? 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:31.120 I got no, I just got one more question. And 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.000 I asked Church one more question because Justin Herbert is 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:37.200 coming to town today. And I remember earlier in the season. Okay, 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.120 because now now we got it. Now we got a 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.640 good comparison here. Okay, Joe Burrow at the beginning of 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.280 the season, right, you was like, oh man, what's going 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.680 on with Joe Burrow? Had who do you feel better 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.160 about after a loss like that? So when you saw 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.280 Joe Burrow come out the first three weeks of the season, 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.400 in your mind, did you say, well, I mean, he 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.400 probably gonna be all right, or he was like it's done, 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:58.280 thought he was gonna be give it now. 0:12:58.320 --> 0:12:59.640 When that goes out there. 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.800 And plays like this and he continues to play like this, 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.319 is there anything in your mind that says, you know, 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:04.280 he gonna. 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:08.160 Get it fixed? How don't mean ba like getting it fixed? 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.319 Like he's like, are you worried? Are you worried? 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.440 Do you think that he has that thing in him 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.440 that says, you know what, Naw, we're gonna figure out 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.280 the way that Aaron Rodgers Relax. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:18.800 Now, I'm worried when it comes to that. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:20.559 I am worried when it comes to because we look 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.040 at the mistakes that he's been making so far when 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.920 he's been tested, Like we can look about digest the 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.160 Giants and the Patriots all we want, but he wasn't tested. 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.360 He had a fourteen point leading, fifteen point lead, they 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.240 were up multiple touchdowns before he had to do anything. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.319 But when we go to the games when he has 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.400 to go out there and make a play. So far 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.960 this season, what have we seen Arizona? He wasn't able 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:44.400 to get it. He would drive all the way down there. 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.520 He threw the game losing interception. We go to San 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.719 Francisco where we all talked about this is gonna be 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.160 the measuring stick. This is the game where it's gonna 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.959 separate it, you know, contenders from you know pretenders out there, 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.360 and what happened there's a three turner. 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:58.880 There are bad interceptions. 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:00.760 We're not saying like, you know, just went off to 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:04.280 this guy's hands and then miraculously fell on the defender's life. No, 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.559 these were all plays where he threw into coverage, like 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.200 blatant coverage. If you look at it, the deep ball 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.599 that was that wasn't an injustice right there. It's just 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.000 it's just the mistakes that I'm worried about, because the 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:17.720 mistakes he's making is something you would see. 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.840 From a guy in his maybe second or third year. 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:21.920 I just need to know the comfort level of Like 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.360 it's certain quarterbacks that they go out there and they 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.240 have a few bad games where you like, don't worry 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.040 about it, it's gonna be it's gonna be all right. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.480 And then at what point do you start saying all right? 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.760 Because we've always felt like this about that, like, hey man, 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.560 don't worry fifteen picks lash, Yes, don't worry. 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:36.560 I'm not gonna throw you. 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:37.960 Like you know what I'm saying, you feel that way, like, 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.400 hey man, you're gonna come into the next year and 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.360 say I'm not that like he's gonna get better. 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:43.720 And then and then you. 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.720 Start having these type of situations and you start to 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.400 wonder like, okay, wait, at what point do you start 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:50.120 to say, I don't. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.080 Know I'm smiling because you're singing boxing right now? You 0:14:53.120 --> 0:15:01.080 know we got to stay in eight camp. Yeah, that's 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.240 what that's literally right now, that's what I would do 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.120 it for that. That's that's where you're at right now. 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.000 Stany heyke, you right for you coming to shaking him hands? 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:08.600 Good? 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.440 You're good, You're good. And my question is have we 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.880 seen Dak play better? Have we seen in his eighth year? 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:16.240 Have we seen him play better? 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:16.400 Right? 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.560 Because right now, I'm gonna be one hundred with you. 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.520 I don't recognize this, dude. I don't recognize what I'm 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.480 seeing from him on the field. I'm seeing him be tentative, 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.760 I'm seeing him not be sure, and a lot of 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.200 that is carryover from last season. But none of this 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.560 seems to be like he's not. Come on, man, When 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.520 Dak first came into the league, he was balling Rookie 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.680 of the year. He was balling all right, he was 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:37.200 going out there. 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:37.680 Yes he did. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.000 He have limited throws. He could he make all the throws, No, 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.120 but the ones that he could make he made. When 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.400 he needed to run, he ran. I'm not seeing a 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:48.280 guy that even on that same caliber, even when you 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.680 you had him pegged as a bus drop, so to speak. Right, 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.080 But I don't I don't recognize his game. I don't 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.920 see him when we talk about him elevating this game 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.440 even to the level that it was, I don't see 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:01.080 it in this offense. 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:05.560 To see a guy who is unsure. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.640 And the thing is and the thing is for him, 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.040 It's like, dude, you're unsure of what you're looking at, 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.240 and it shows because you're pumping the ball. 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:15.920 You don't know if it's there. You're holding onto the 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:16.760 ball too long. 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.320 And that's I don't know if I've ever had him 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.440 pegged as a quarterback that holds on to the ball 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.800 too long, But lately that's what I'm saying, Like that 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:24.360 get rid. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:24.680 Of the ball. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.000 Bro ain't just what McCarthy was supposed to be here for, 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.240 to unlock that that untapped potential, to get that over 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:31.880 the hump. 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.480 Calling, right, This is I. 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.320 Think for situational play calling. It was was what was 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.320 the downfall I believe of what they expected out of 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.720 kill him more, not necessarily from Big Mike to come 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:47.600 out and have the number one offense in the league, 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:51.200 but for them to be in situational better situationally. 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:56.080 All right, let's get a break in. We'll continue the conversation. 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.880 The man who owes the football team even writes a checks, 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:02.840 He's going to let you know. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:04.560 How he feels about it. 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.400 His quarterback Players Lounge brought to you by j Steeles 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.560 on Dallascowboys dot Com Radio. 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.879 I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:18.960 And they snapped the pres scout who looks right, it's 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:22.120 not there. He escapes flapped. He'll look for a perch down. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.840 Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.360 to have a team you can trust. With Blockchain dot Com, 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.000 I know I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven, they've 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.359 been trusted by millions around the world to buy, sell, 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:33.680 and trade cryptocurrency. 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.800 Prescott's gonna run this himself, run it up the middle, 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:37.800 and he scores. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.480
