But you can 40 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 3: still read in between the lines that there's wheels turning 41 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: whenever it comes to this stuff. 42 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 9: There is And like you said, shouts out to those 43 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 9: three guys because they were just hammering at it man, 44 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 9: and he was just batting them away as besty. 45 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 4: They were trying to get creative. 46 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 9: And they even threw some names out there that we 47 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 9: can't say on this wow, but he threw a couple 48 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 9: of pass rushers out there, who's uh serious names have 49 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 9: been tied to the Cowboys. And they asked him, yeah, 50 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 9: he's Jerry hey yeah, And they asked him if he 51 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 9: could provide some clarity and he was like no. 52 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 4: No, straight up, he goes He's like no, yeah. 53 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 6: They would be tampering if he did. 54 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: And he did a lot. 55 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 9: Of subterview as far as like when when Bobby asked 56 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 9: him about the linebackers possibly entertaining the trade to add 57 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 9: to the linebacker cord and he was like, not necessarily, no, 58 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 9: absolutely not, but then you never know. And then he 59 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 9: laughed and he was like, how's that answer for you? 60 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 9: So that just tells you, you know. But when you 61 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 9: combine what little they were able to pull out of 62 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 9: Jerry Jones in conjunction with what one O five three 63 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 9: the fan was able to speak to and with Stephen 64 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 9: Jones about yesterday, they've been making calls. I mean, Stephen 65 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 9: Jones told the fan yesterday that they had called the 66 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 9: other every one of the other thirty one teams. Now, 67 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 9: of course he painted it with the broad stroke of saying, 68 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 9: you know, that's just us doing our due diligence and 69 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 9: seeing what's out there. 70 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: But they're on the phone. They're on the phone. 71 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 5: But and remember their whole and so are you call 72 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 5: in talking out that I can sprinkle that in there 73 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 5: the whole thought process from the Jones families. 74 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: A lot of times, especially when it comes to the draft, 75 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: that they want the phone to ring. But the fact 76 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 3: that they are being aggressive at least shows that they 77 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 3: see the problem too, And I feel like anybody can 78 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 3: see the problem. I feel like that's an obvious think, Steve, 79 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: It's not hard to diagnose. 80 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 4: Now, they see the problem and they want to find. 81 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 6: You can see what they're doing. 82 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it at least gives a little bit of 83 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 3: clarity the fact that there could be something done. The 84 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: weird part about it is now we're less than seven 85 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: days away, correct from the NFL trade deadline. It's a 86 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 3: week from today, right Tuesday Afternoonuesday afternoons. 87 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 4: So yeah, we are. 88 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 3: Seven days away and you'll have anybody less than twenty 89 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 3: four hours from That's what's key Monday Night football and 90 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 3: what happens on Monday against the Cardinals to then turn 91 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 3: around and make a deal. Right, you're going into your 92 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: bye week, which is good, ye, However, not a lot 93 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 3: of time to make a decision. 94 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 9: Well, you know, they said deadlines make deals, and that's 95 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 9: rarely more true within the NFL than with this organization. 96 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: Yes, so you know. 97 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 9: Jerry was also asked if because he said Jerry did 98 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 9: after the Broncos lost. He said that game in and 99 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 9: of itself doesn't color their thought process as far as 100 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 9: how they would approach the trade deadline. I honestly don't 101 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 9: know that I believe that, ye, because I don't know 102 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 9: how you watch that game and then say to yourself, 103 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 9: you know, let's just watch that that doesn't really affect 104 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 9: I don't see how you say that, But he did 105 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 9: believe it. 106 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: If you choose, dude, it's up to you. 107 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 9: I don't But that being said, if I believe if 108 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 9: you lose this game to the Cardinals, I don't see 109 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 9: how you're not on it. If you're of the mindset, 110 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 9: if you're on team you can save this season. If 111 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 9: you're on that team and the front office is going 112 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 9: to be on that team if they lose to the Cardinals, 113 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 9: then I don't see how you're on that team and 114 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 9: then don't get on the phone and try to make 115 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 9: a deal at the deadline. 116 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 7: I think I don't know, man, when you're looking at 117 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 7: it microscopically, how we are week to week and you know, 118 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 7: result by result, game by game. In terms of how 119 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 7: they look at it, I mean, they're kind of like 120 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 7: the benajeser It in Dune. It's like they think in century, 121 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 7: you know what I mean, you're thinking long term in 122 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 7: this way, But if you're looking at the season as 123 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 7: a whole. You haven't had a repeat performance this entire season. 124 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 7: The season is literally what the Cowboys are lost, win loss, 125 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 7: tie win loss, win loss. And by the way, last 126 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 7: week you won forty four to twenty two. This last 127 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 7: week you lost twenty four forty four. 128 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, almost completely flipped. 129 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 7: It's you were literally admit you are mid right now. 130 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 7: So it should be no surprise to them. They built 131 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 7: the roster, they know the personnel. It's they're not performing 132 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 7: to the level that they expected at this point. So yeah, 133 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 7: I don't see how the Broncos loss could affect you 134 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 7: in a way to be like, oh, well, you know. 135 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 6: Sell sell sell or bye bye bye. It is the 136 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 6: result of what you've built. 137 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 7: So now you have to make decisions. The deadline is here, Yeah, 138 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 7: but they've set up many occasions that everybody else's deadline 139 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 7: is not necessarily their deadline. Deadlines make deals, This is 140 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 7: absolutely true. But if they're not willing to in the 141 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 7: next two or three days make a trade that will 142 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 7: impact this team, what else. 143 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: Can we expect? 144 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 6: You know, it's well, it's up in the air. 145 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 9: I'm frustrated. You have and you should be, as we 146 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 9: all are. You have to do something if you are 147 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 9: of the mice. And again, there are two trains of 148 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 9: thought here, all right, So choose the train that you 149 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 9: want to, you know, travel down the tracks. With one 150 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 9: train of thought is season's over. Let's focus on the draft, 151 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 9: keep your draft picks, build for the future, reload the defense. 152 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 9: If that's your train of thought, so be it. If 153 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 9: your train of thought is the other one, which is 154 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 9: you can save the season. You don't want to waste 155 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 9: the window of Dak Prescott in this play. You don't 156 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 9: know if George Pickens is going to return for next season. 157 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 9: You want to take advantage of this offense is five 158 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 9: power while you can. You have to do something, so 159 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 9: be it trade and or go out into free agency. 160 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 9: You have guys in free agency, particularly at the safety position. 161 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: I mean you news and notes. Would you like a 162 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: news and note? 163 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 4: Yeah? 164 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: Your safety position? 165 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 9: Now, le's talk about Okay, Well, Elijah Clark per Brian 166 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 9: Schottenheimer is going to be out a couple of weeks. Oh, 167 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 9: he just lost another safety. So let me recap. Malik 168 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 9: Hooker is on injured reserve and shot. He said yesterday 169 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 9: that this is not the week that Malak's twenty one 170 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 9: day practice window will begin. So Malik Hooker is still 171 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 9: on an I arm. Donovan Wilson missed last week's game. 172 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 9: We don't know if he's going to play this game. 173 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 9: The one year Thomas is now miss two games with 174 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 9: my grains, and that's a real tenuous situation. 175 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: We don't know if he's going to be able to play. 176 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 6: The developing thing for him, he's. 177 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 9: A developing thing and it's new to him. I had 178 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 9: that conversation with him. So he's trying to figure out 179 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 9: how to manage my grains because he's not had them 180 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 9: until recently. So from a safety position, you have Marquise Bell. 181 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry. 182 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 9: Were you expected me to continue? You have Marquise Bell. 183 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 9: That's I mean, you had to put your nickel corner 184 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 9: ready Stewart back at safety. So I say that to say, 185 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 9: you know, I think you have to do a combination 186 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 9: of things. I think you have to look into a 187 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 9: trade scenario and you have to dip your foot into 188 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 9: free agency right now. If you're of the train of 189 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 9: thought that you can save this season. 190 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 3: I think and just a playoff of your point, and 191 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 3: I said this yesterday. With the way that we've gotten 192 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 3: here as a franchise as an organization. I don't think 193 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 3: anybody before the season was realistic, realistically saying this roster 194 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 3: is an eleven twelve, thirteen wins team. Nobody said that. 195 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 3: It was more like seven eight nine, depending on who 196 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: you talked to. 197 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 7: I was of the mind that you maybe get to ten. 198 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 7: I was of the mind that with a healthy dapt 199 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 7: pressout you could win ten games. 200 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 9: But he probably also had Michael on this team before 201 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 9: the season before. 202 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 4: That's fair. 203 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 3: But we also didn't anticipate the offense being as high 204 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 3: powered as it has been. 205 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 4: We knew it was going to be good. 206 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 3: Did we anticipated being a number one, number two offense 207 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 3: in the country. 208 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 4: Probably not. 209 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 3: But then you didn't realize this defense would be a 210 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 3: bottom one, bottom two defense in the league as well. 211 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 3: You thought it would be somewhat serviceable. And we've had 212 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 3: that conver station plenty. So with all that to be said, 213 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: how we've gotten here is now you're looking at Dak 214 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 3: Prescott's window of really good football. And so I said 215 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 3: it yesterday, you have to do something. You can't just 216 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 3: sit on your hands. You're either going to have to 217 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: build toward next year in the year after that by 218 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 3: making a move that encompasses twenty six and twenty seven, 219 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: much like they did with the Mica trade. Or go 220 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 3: all in on your defense right now because your offense 221 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 3: as long as you've got extra possessions. 222 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 4: I have no problem on the offensive side of the ball. 223 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 3: So I think you're at a corporation crossroads right now, 224 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 3: a campaigns crossroads whenever it comes to how are you 225 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 3: going to handle this? And it's like that a lot 226 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 3: of that's going to happen over this next seven days. Yes, indeed, 227 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 3: whatever this campaign is going to be for the Cowboys 228 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 3: is happening between now and what is it, three pm 229 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 3: Central Time PM Central town four next next week, next Tuesday, 230 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 3: next Tuesday. So there's there's a cross roads that you're 231 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 3: at right now, and you got to find which way 232 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 3: you just decide to go down. 233 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 4: I don't know which way they're gonna go. I know 234 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 4: I would go. 235 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 3: Toward let's not waste the MVP window and let's not 236 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 3: waste what Dak has been doing throughout this season. I 237 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 3: know he came off a bad game and there were 238 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 3: a lot of comments yesterday, oh my god, it's Dak 239 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 3: Prescott again. 240 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 4: Stop it. 241 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 3: He was playing at an incredibly high level use that 242 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 3: as you continue. 243 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 7: And if that's the case, what do you do right now? 244 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 7: What two positions do you got. 245 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 4: To get a pass rusher? 246 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 6: Rusher saying so, do you trade for a pass rusher? 247 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 10: Yes? 248 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 6: And then free agency is that involved in your decision making? 249 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 4: I don't know how many free agents that are on 250 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 4: the street are going to just come in and be 251 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 4: a not a passmaker at safety or really anafety. 252 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 6: I mean, who I think you need? 253 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 9: You need an impact guy at the edge, just need 254 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 9: a stabilizer at safety. 255 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 7: Now I need a linebacker, I need another innerback. I 256 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 7: don't I need. 257 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: I just don't see them. 258 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 4: I don't think they're. 259 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 9: There's one on the way that's kind of a big deal, 260 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 9: and whether you like it or not, the expectation will 261 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 9: be the expectation. 262 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 7: I need about nine to ten guys on defense. How's 263 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 7: that extra? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see. I don't think 264 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 7: they're that far out. I know they're bad, and I 265 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 7: know the statistics are bad, but I don't think they're 266 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 7: that far out. 267 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 4: I think if you. 268 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: Get some level and resemblance of a pass rush that 269 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 3: is capable of opening things up, then I think you're 270 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 3: going to start to see the play of Dante Faller 271 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: Junior take a step forward, the play of Donovan as 272 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 3: a rock who take a step forward. Marshaw Kneeland doesn't 273 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: have to put pressure on himself to be a pass rusher, 274 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 3: and he can kind of just defend the run like 275 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: he was drafted to do. There's a lot of things 276 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 3: that will happen if you get one pass rusher, an 277 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 3: elite level pass rusher, which is going to cost you. 278 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 4: In the middle of the season. 279 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 3: It's going to cost you, however, the safety position corner, 280 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 3: whatever you do. If you want to trade a day two, 281 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 3: Day three pick to get there. 282 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 4: Then maybe you do it. But I don't think there's 283 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 4: that guy just out there on the open market, right I. 284 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 7: Would argue there's you could definitely improve by getting another 285 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 7: guy in the middle, and not necessarily a pass rusher, 286 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 7: because I think absolutely doing that would cost you less 287 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 7: because they're not trading two ones for an interior defense. 288 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 4: So you're saying do that instead of a pass rusher. 289 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: Yes, Oh man, I'm thinking. 290 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 9: You got to have a password because that to Coyle's point, 291 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 9: and I've said. 292 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 7: If you can control the line of scriptage and stop 293 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 7: the run, permanently. 294 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 3: Defence from Oh, you're you're talking about interior defensive line. 295 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 4: I thought you're talking about middle as in like lineback. 296 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: That's so I'm fine with that too. 297 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: I'm okay with that too, if you're controlling the defensive front. 298 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 4: But the argument that I had. 299 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 3: The other day, or the debate that I had the 300 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 3: other day with Isaiah, was you've had the best interior 301 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 3: defensive line play you've had in decades. 302 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 6: And now it's not holding up. 303 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 4: And it's not. 304 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 7: It's not because because there is no threat of a 305 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 7: pass right correct, one begets the other correct. But I'm saying, 306 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 7: if you have another guy, solidified guy next to Kenny 307 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 7: Clark that is able to stop the run, absolutely stop it, 308 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 7: the outside will feast. I think I have a I 309 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 7: have an inkling of opportunity there there because instance, I'm 310 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 7: not forgetting about what James Houston was able to provide 311 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 7: and perry On Winfrey like, if we saw what we 312 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 7: saw from training camp and we saw from preseason, if 313 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 7: he's healthy enough to get back this year, I mean 314 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 7: that's a plus. That's on the plus side. If he 315 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 7: gets back. I haven't heard anything about him, you. 316 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 9: Know, same neither have I I would say that there. Yeah, 317 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 9: maybe there is a point to be made that you're 318 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 9: making in that there are instances where okay, if you 319 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 9: drop another impact guy on that defensive tackle in that 320 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 9: defensive tackle room and you put him next to Kenny Clark, Okay, 321 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 9: I see where you're going with that. 322 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: I see what you're cooking. 323 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 9: But more often than not, you have to look at 324 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 9: the fact that even when the run defense through let's 325 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 9: say the first four five ish games, the first the 326 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 9: run def. 327 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 3: For Carolina, Yeah, run defense, or before New York because 328 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: Breese Hall players say that. 329 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 9: But now you're starting to see what's ha For example, JK. Dobbins, 330 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 9: a lot of his runs were attacking that. Yes, absolutely right, 331 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 9: So yeah, throw another body of the defensive tackle. It 332 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 9: looks great, sounds great, It will work as far as 333 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 9: keeping them from running ab but hit c right Chester edges. 334 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 9: Your edges are not playing well in definit of the 335 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 9: run and they're not rushing the passer. So for me, 336 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 9: it's you know, you ask Osa to take the step up, 337 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 9: Sally to take the step back up. So those guys 338 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 9: plus Kenny Clark, that trio was doing work in the 339 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 9: first four games. You asked those guys to do work again. 340 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 9: But in helping them do that, you add an impact, 341 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 9: not just an impact, but a game breaking pass rush, 342 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 9: which then combines with that also helps your linebackers, also 343 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 9: helps your secondary, shortens the coverage windows if you can 344 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 9: get into more, and then the safety issue that you 345 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 9: have depth wise and performance wise becomes masked much more so. 346 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 9: Then if you say, Okay, I want to trade for 347 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 9: this costly pass rusher. Yeah, I don't want to trade 348 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 9: for a costly pass rusher and for costly safety. 349 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: Fine, cool, give me up. You're probably as rusher. 350 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 9: And then you go and get a capable, veteran proven 351 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 9: safety to stabilize that unit back there. And now you're 352 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 9: cooking or maybe like you do what KYL just say, 353 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 9: you give a Day three pick away and then maybe you. 354 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 4: Can fourth round pick and get you a pretty good. 355 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 9: You know, you know what, because you're gonna get compicks anyway, 356 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 9: and this team loves the fact that they have the 357 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 9: compicks and you can find up those compics. So there's 358 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 9: ways to make this happen. You just need to go 359 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 9: make it happen. 360 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 7: But I think there's no argument that you need extra 361 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 7: pieces on defense. 362 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 6: They currently do not have. And I think. 363 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 7: That's that's the crux of it, and that would be 364 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 7: the problem if a week. 365 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 6: From now nothing has happened. 366 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 4: That's where I'm at. You gotta do something. 367 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: You can't just sit here before you're poking it with 368 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: a stick. 369 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 4: Yes, please just do something. 370 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 3: And Josh brings up great points and he made the 371 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: joke at the beginning of the segment of you need 372 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 3: a corner, you need a safety, you need a linebacker, 373 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: you need a defensive tackle, you need an addresser. 374 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 4: They need all of it. 375 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 3: But where is it going to give you the most 376 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 3: bang for your buck right now with what you do have? 377 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 3: And that's where I lean pass rusher because I think 378 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 3: it opens everything up. I agree with you adding an 379 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 3: extra three tech that can stop the run awesome, But 380 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 3: you can't give up your entire future to try and 381 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 3: trade for five or six guys on the defensive side, 382 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 3: and wanted them to be included as a three teche. 383 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 7: I'm just not willing to part with those ones quite yet. 384 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 7: I'm willing to take fee. I'm willing to take a 385 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 7: bet on a three or four or two. 386 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 9: One of those ones, putting them in one of Isaiah's 387 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 9: paper airplanes and I'm sending that thing and let's see 388 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 9: what it hooks.

You know, it's technique, scheme, talent coaching. 512 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 8: That's what it comes down to, and when I watched 513 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 8: these guys, forget the scheme. I don't think anybody understands 514 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 8: what Eberfoush is trying to do, At least I don't. 515 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 8: And I'm of the opinion that he is a deer 516 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 8: in the headlights. When you see him on the sideline, 517 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 8: he looks confused. This is just me. He looks confused. 518 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 8: He looks like, you know, he's not three plays ahead, 519 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 8: and that's what it looks like. I was wondering why 520 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 8: he hasn't gone in the booth yet to be able 521 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 8: to look down at how he's being attacked, rather than 522 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 8: being at field level, which is much harder to see. 523 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 8: But so I go back to that technique, scheme, talent 524 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 8: and coaching. Do we have the talent more so? Yes 525 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 8: than no, I believe. Okay, but it's it's a bit 526 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 8: of a rap shoot, all right, technique. You know, I 527 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 8: watched these guys, and you know, back in the day, 528 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 8: you know, when I was in college, if you got 529 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 8: double teams, you got underneath that double team, you created 530 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 8: a pile. You weren't getting blown off the ball. You 531 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 8: wanted the linebackers to be able to clean up. Now, 532 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 8: it's in college. At college level, I see these guys 533 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 8: that get to a knee and it's almost the same 534 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 8: type of the technique. You don't get blown off the ball, 535 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 8: you get underneath the blocker. I'm watching guys the other 536 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 8: the other week, not this past week, but a couple 537 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 8: of weeks prior. The tackles looked like they're like they 538 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 8: were lined up in the seat in the big gap, 539 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 8: like outside show inside shoulder to tackle. Well, Jesus, you 540 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 8: know my mother could run through that hole, all right, 541 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 8: and like, and I'm gonna throw something out because I 542 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 8: think ibra flu should be gone wrecked. Ryan, Okay, he's 543 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 8: out there. He may be a bit of a wild card, 544 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 8: but you know what he knows defensive football. He does. 545 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 8: And I'm of the opinion, if you want to try 546 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 8: and salvage this team this year, you got to do something. 547 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 8: I agree, and I think I think again, and I 548 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 8: think iber Flush has probably lost the defensive players. If 549 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 8: I was a player, he lost me. He lost me. 550 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 8: And so that's all I got, guys, I see. 551 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 13: So. 552 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: We love you, Dano. 553 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: Appreciate the call as always, dan O, and understand your 554 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 3: feeling for sure. Yeah, I get the frustration and I 555 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 3: get there. He's not alone, by the way, there's a 556 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 3: lot of there are a lot of fans that feel 557 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 3: that way. 558 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: He was cooking. 559 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 3: He absolutely accept that there's a lot to unpack there stuff. 560 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 4: Where do you want to start? You want to start? 561 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 3: He talked about I know you wanted to say something 562 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 3: about the talent level. He feels like, yes, the talent 563 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 3: is there on defense. 564 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 7: On oh, I think he was saying for the roster, 565 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 7: but was it specifically he thought he was talking defense. 566 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 6: I mean, to be. 567 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 7: Fair, I mean he was talking about how the ownership 568 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 7: has probably wasted you. 569 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 3: Know, offensive guys offensive because of the defensive talent. 570 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 7: I mean, I would argue that somebody's putting that together. 571 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 7: You know, like there's a reason you have so many 572 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 7: talented players on this roster. It's not clicking for a 573 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 7: multitude of reasons, and you can't pinpoint it to one 574 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 7: guy in particular. 575 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 6: I really don't feel that way. 576 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 7: And it's not that I'm getting paid to say that. 577 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 7: That is my personal opinion. I think you don't have 578 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 7: the personnel and defense. 579 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 3: We've talked about the x's and o's and the roster 580 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 3: building of this front office before with very much so 581 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 3: clarity and ability and. 582 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 6: Criticism about and praise when praise is due. 583 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 7: It's it's it's an amalgam of those things. But genuinely, 584 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 7: you don't have guys on defense that you don't have 585 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 7: the personnel that is going to get you where you 586 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 7: need to go, because there are players that are taking 587 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 7: plays off. There are players that are not getting off 588 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 7: of their blocks when they absolutely need to. 589 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 6: I said yesterday the f you can't teach effort. 590 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 7: No, how many times does Isaiah have to tell us 591 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 7: this before it really locks in? Not and not to 592 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 7: us because of course we're listening and we're watching tape 593 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 7: and we understand these things. But to those guys out there, 594 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 7: effort is not taught. You have to get guys that 595 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 7: have that claimed. 596 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 3: And he called out Jadavian Clowning for lack of effort 597 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 3: on the R. J. Harvey touchdown run in postgame. And 598 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 3: it's it's apparent. 599 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: Like there were there were a couple. 600 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 4: I mean, he wasn't alone. 601 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 9: No, when you go back and look at that film, 602 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 9: there are a couple. There's Kyrie Elam, He's one in 603 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 9: particular on a couple of those Jase Dobbins plays. I'm 604 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 9: expecting him to crash down and help, and it, I 605 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 9: don't know, felt like you were trying to avoid no gym, 606 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 9: like it was a business decision. 607 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 4: There are multiple guys that are afraid. 608 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: Of just like it was a business decision. 609 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 4: I think are running back boy. 610 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 3: I think our running back from Texas is also afraid 611 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 3: of contact. 612 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 9: It could possibly be I will say, you know, dan 613 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 9: O cooked, he cooked in a lot of ways. I'm 614 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 9: going to speak to the one thing he didn't cook on. 615 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 9: This is why I was shaking my keep ricks ran 616 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 9: away away, just keep him away. I realized it's it's 617 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 9: the you know, the big name, it's the flashy name, 618 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 9: it's the sexy name, etcetera, etcetera. 619 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:10,719 Speaker 6: And people know. 620 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: It's the name people know. 621 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 9: And Rex has you know, tried to leverage himself through 622 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 9: the media over these past couple of that guy coaching cycles. 623 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 4: Like yes, seriousness building. 624 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 7: But and he's a caricature of what you'd expect out 625 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 7: of a defensive minded. 626 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 9: But I think what people are looking at when those 627 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 9: who are on the Rex Ryan train, they're looking at 628 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 9: the the yesteryear of res Rex Ryan. They're looking at 629 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 9: peak Rex Ryan and I've said this, and I've said 630 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 9: it before. 631 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: I say it again. 632 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 9: Time fades pictures for people. So what people failed to remember, 633 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 9: they remember, Oh well he got Mark Sanchez and the 634 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 9: Jets to the AFC Championship game. On occasions he absolutely did. 635 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 9: How things go in Buffalo. My point being that as 636 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 9: we sit here and have this conversation in twenty twenty five, 637 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 9: you're trying to tell me for those that are on 638 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 9: the Rex Ryan train and otherwise, Dan O, you cooked. 639 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 9: But this is where I gotta, I gotta, we gotta squire. Respectfully, 640 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 9: Rex Ryan hasn't coached in almost a decade. So if 641 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 9: you want a modern minded coach, Shoe, I get it. 642 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 9: You want the old school ball coach, great, you had 643 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 9: that in Mike Zimmer. 644 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: How that work out? Okay? 645 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 9: It takes more than just simply saying you're a hard nosed, 646 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 9: all old school spur your type ball coach. In order 647 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 9: to come in and fix a defense that's this bad, 648 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 9: you have to be able to do that plus modernize 649 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 9: it to today's standards. Because offensive nowadays they are so complex, 650 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 9: because and the league is legislated toward helping offensive score points. 651 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 9: You can't just simply drop in a Rex Ryan who 652 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 9: hasn't coached in almost a decade and say, oh, well, 653 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 9: you know, fifteen years ago he did a thing. Congrats 654 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 9: on doing that thing fifteen years ago almost anyway, But 655 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 9: that's not going to fix it here. But what you 656 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 9: will get is more drama because it's Rex. You had 657 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 9: his brother Rob here. How that turnout? It was one 658 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 9: of the worst defenses in the history of the franchise. 659 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: Bless you. 660 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 9: So I'm out. I could not be more out on 661 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 9: Rix Ryan. But as far as everything else you said, Daniel, 662 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 9: I'm with you on that. I don't know that I agree. Actually, 663 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 9: I don't agree with the personnel stance. If you were 664 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 9: in fact saying it's a defensive thing. So if your 665 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 9: point was defense has to personnel, yeah, I think hockets 666 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 9: they have the personnel, but sure they don't have all 667 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 9: of them, which is why we're saying you need to 668 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 9: I don't think they have a safety stabilizer or something. 669 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 4: No, and I don't think they have. 670 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 3: I said it yesterday, I multiple years now, multiple defensive coordinators, 671 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 3: and we're all sitting here saying the same thing. You 672 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 3: can't stop the run, and if you don't get a 673 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 3: pass rush or secondary is a liability. So with all 674 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 3: that being said, I think you just don't have the personnel. 675 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 3: I don't think you have the personnel, and I don't 676 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 3: on the defensive side of the ball. 677 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think. 678 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 7: One coordinator is going to change the outlook and the 679 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 7: identity of your defense right here, right now now with 680 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 7: the personnel that is currently. 681 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,719 Speaker 4: Switch your coordinator in the off season may not have 682 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 4: that impact. 683 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 7: You had an opportunity to kind of Keithson continuity whenever 684 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 7: my gosh, Al Harris was here and he left, and 685 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,479 Speaker 7: that was you know, that was a choice to let 686 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 7: him walk out the building when he had a rapport 687 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,959 Speaker 7: with the secondary as it was. 688 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: And it wasn't a good choice, but it was a choice. 689 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 6: It was. It was a choice to be made a 690 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 6: choice on him. Yeah, it was. 691 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 9: It was a choice on him for a reason. And yeah, 692 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 9: I mean, we're not going to make this the Al 693 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 9: Harris segment, but we'll just simply say that we gotta 694 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 9: be careful because he's under contract with another team. But 695 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 9: I will say that I do believe in hindsight, I 696 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 9: have to word this a certain way, and I'm wording 697 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 9: it a certain way for a reason put me back 698 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,959 Speaker 9: in the defense of the off season. And in the 699 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 9: off season, I was one of several you guys who 700 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 9: thought that Al Harris deserved more responsibility and deserved a 701 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 9: look at defensive coordinator. 702 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: He didn't get that. Look. Now he's in Chicago, and 703 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: I'll leave it there. 704 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 4: I am all right. Let's let's hear from Mike in 705 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 4: New York. What's up, big Mic? 706 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 14: What's going on? Guys? What's frustrated about the Cowboys? Is 707 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 14: talking about it for many years? When was the last 708 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 14: time Cowboys actually had a good run defense. I have 709 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 14: been watching this team for many years and that we 710 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 14: talk about it all the time. But it's like I 711 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 14: I mean, I I know we talk about everything with 712 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 14: the defense, of course, but the last time we actually 713 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 14: had a good run defense just spent a long time. 714 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, certainly what else is on your mind? 715 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 14: I just like I said, I like like Jerry, he 716 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 14: made his point on the you know, on the post game. Yeah, 717 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 14: you know we need we need more than one player, 718 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 14: so we we got we gotta do something. I mean, 719 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 14: it's kind of you know, we got you know, we 720 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 14: we just hey, the defense has to improve. We were 721 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 14: were the worst defense in the whole league. Like I mean, 722 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 14: I understand that we didn't. You know, we should I personally, 723 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 14: we should have kept Parsons. We should have paid him, 724 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 14: of course, but obviously money, salary cap and this and that. 725 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 14: But you know, we got we gotta we gotta do something. 726 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 14: We you know, we definitely got definitely you know, two 727 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 14: Way Street, definitely definitely need you know, secondary help. We 728 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 14: get all these injuries and this and that. Gotta do something. 729 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 14: We got to improve some way. 730 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate your mic as always, and he brings 731 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 3: up a point there is when it comes to the Micah. 732 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 4: Trade, you thought you were going to be a worse defense. 733 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 4: You don't trade an elite, all pro, possible future. 734 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame pass rusher and think you're going to 735 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 3: be better on the defensive side. But to go to 736 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 3: the depths that they have on that unit so far, 737 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 3: I think that's what's frustrating about the whole scenario. 738 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: Youah, one hundred percent. 739 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 9: And I'll say this, it's interesting that it's a tale 740 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 9: of two takes. Okay, because right now after the Michael 741 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 9: Parsons trade, you hear the front office and you hear 742 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 9: some of the fans kind of towing that line, saying, oh, well, 743 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 9: you know you couldn't pay him and dot dot dot 744 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 9: dot dot. Well you try to pay him, and the 745 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 9: money you were trying to pay him would have negated 746 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 9: the take that you have. 747 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: I think it's just coping. Really, I think it's just coping. 748 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean they were ready to pay him. 749 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 9: They were made Yeah, Jerry made the offer. Yeah, substantial, 750 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 9: it had substantial guaranteed money. So I just say, I 751 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 9: just think that the uh, the regression of that conversation 752 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 9: between the two and how things devolved and how it 753 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 9: ended up going at this point, there's cope involved on 754 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 9: both sides, not just on the Cowboys side, because michaeh 755 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 9: is he's still talking about the Cowboys. Oh man, every 756 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 9: every bit exit, yeah, bitter exits. 757 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: It's just move on, buddy, move on, both of you. 758 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: Move on. 759 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 9: But the fact of the matter remains, once you chose 760 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 9: to trade Michael Parsons the way you, you just had 761 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 9: to know that your defense was going to take a 762 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 9: step back. 763 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: But again, you did not know what was going to 764 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: be this and this is a good. 765 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 9: Chunk of it is accountable to Matt Eflues, a good 766 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 9: chunk of it is accountable to the players and lack 767 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 9: of execution, lack of effort, business decisions being made, injuries. 768 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 9: I mean, you put all that in the pot and 769 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 9: you probably end up with the worst defense in the league. 770 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,280 Speaker 9: And oh, by the way, you do have the worst defense. 771 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 3: Let me ask thank you this. If you were in 772 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 3: the GM shoes in that moment and you could see 773 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 3: halfway through the season to the NFL trade deadline and say, 774 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 3: by that point we're going to be three five and 775 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 3: one and the defensive unit is going to be historically 776 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 3: one of the worst you've ever had in your organization's history, 777 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,439 Speaker 3: would you have still gone through with the Micael Parsons trade. 778 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 10: No. 779 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 4: I feel like right now you would say no, Right I. 780 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 9: Would have said no before without the benefit of that foresight. Yeah, 781 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 9: I would have said no because behind Michael Parsons it 782 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 9: was a lot of hope. 783 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: And go ahead and say it for me. 784 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope is not a strategy. 785 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: It's not a strategy. 786 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 9: You hoped that Sam Williams, coming off of a torn 787 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 9: ACL would have a breakout season in a contract year. 788 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: That's what you were hoping. You were hoping that. 789 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 9: Dante Fowler would replicate his career best success that he 790 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 9: had with the Commanders. His most successful season with Dan 791 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 9: Quinn with the Cowboys was as a rotational pass rush. 792 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,760 Speaker 9: So you were hoping that you could possibly make danteo 793 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 9: full timer, you would get that replication, and it goes 794 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 9: from there. You were hoping that Donovan Israku would hit 795 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 9: the ground running as quickly as Michael Parsons did, which 796 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 9: is an anomaly and probably not going to happen. 797 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: And it's not happening. 798 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 9: I'm hoping Marshawn kneland would take the stack all this hope. Yeah, 799 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 9: that's not enough for me to look at Michael Parsons 800 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 9: and say, Okay, I'm good without you. 801 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 7: I would argue that it wasn't just hope, because you 802 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 7: were seeing a lot of this at training camp and 803 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 7: in the preseason. You were seeing a lot of those 804 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 7: guys step up in ways that made you feel a 805 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 7: little more comfortable. 806 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 9: I think, just so we're on the same page, my 807 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 9: point of view comes from immediately post draft. That's why 808 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 9: I mentioned don Israku. Right, So I'm looking like June, yeah, 809 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 9: or you go to training camp, gotcha, it's hope for 810 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 9: that point forward before you see anybody take a single step. 811 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 7: And my purview here is from training camp when you're 812 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 7: seeing those guys step up in big ways and you're like, 813 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 7: oh my god, is Donovan Azraku that dude because of how. 814 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 6: Quick he's able to get off the line training camp. 815 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 7: And granted, even Tommy was talking about how he's you know, 816 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 7: he's right there, he's getting there, almost there, but the 817 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 7: actual results aren't where they need to be. 818 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I said this initially, I didn't like the Mica trade. 819 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 3: I still think it opens you up and gives you 820 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 3: flexibility for the future. And when it happened this was 821 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 3: talking about I'm talking about when that trade came down 822 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 3: prior to the season. 823 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 4: I said, it gives you a whole lot of possibilities. 824 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 4: And they've already taken advantage of some of that. 825 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 3: They signed Tyler Smith, they signed a Ron Plan, Jake 826 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 3: Ferguson was already done. But they've got options to possibly 827 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 3: sign a George Pickens in the future. And then they've 828 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 3: got the two first round draft picks.

Dak Prescott in the offense had a bad 946 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 9: day at the office. So if you're going to criticize him, 947 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 9: criticize him in that that framing. But to say that 948 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 9: the offense is a problem and you're worried about going forward, 949 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 9: to stop that. 950 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: The defense is the problem. 951 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 9: The defense is who you have to worry about going forward, 952 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,720 Speaker 9: and the defense is who you need to throw something 953 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 9: at whether it be a trade and or free agency, 954 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 9: just do something. If you're on the train of thought 955 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 9: that you can still salvage the season, you gotta do 956 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:49,760 Speaker 9: something you can just stampat. 957 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 7: Let me just say that, like, granted, we're not here 958 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,439 Speaker 7: criticizing the offense very much. 959 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 6: It was a bad day at the office. 960 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 7: It was the worst time to have a bad day 961 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 7: at the office. Yeah, it's bad, but they've criticized themselves. 962 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 7: I mean, Dak Prescott was taugh talking about it in 963 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 7: th post game presser about it, and he said, I 964 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 7: was pressing. 965 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 6: I was pressing. 966 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,319 Speaker 7: That is never good for Dak Prescott to be pressing that. 967 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 7: That throwed it to Jake Ferguson. Kyle was very obviously 968 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:13,720 Speaker 7: opinionated about that throw. 969 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 4: I hated that throat. 970 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 7: At halftime, and understandable because he was pressing. 971 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 4: He broke it down too. 972 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 3: He said he thought he thought the seam would be 973 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 3: open over the top, and it's the corner play closer 974 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,240 Speaker 3: to him than he thought. 975 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 4: And I was like, that's pressing that. That's the example 976 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 4: of pressing. 977 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 3: All you got to do is throw that throw it 978 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 3: to the boundaries and get your three points and you're 979 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 3: down by two possessions with the. 980 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 6: Seven year old field goal man you. 981 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 9: Got the problem is is number one And I said 982 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 9: this yesterday. Don't ever throw that ball again. Yeah, that 983 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 9: being said, I see the thought process. I think this. 984 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 9: He won't say it publicly, which is fine because he's 985 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 9: a leader in the locker room, but we can say 986 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 9: it when you when you don't trust that your defense 987 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 9: can get a stop. You know, for a fact, you 988 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 9: can't trade feeling goals for touchdowns. So you know, even 989 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,720 Speaker 9: though you got three in your back pocket, you're probably 990 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 9: going to press. And then what makes you press more 991 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 9: is the fact that your protection was simply not there. 992 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: Right. 993 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 9: So also a quick news and note, sounds like Cooper 994 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 9: BB is going to be back this week. 995 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 1: Per Stephen Jones to one on five three good Man. 996 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 9: He said he believes Cooper BB will be back, so 997 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 9: at least you get some reinforcement there. But the biggest 998 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:26,359 Speaker 9: thing is this offense. I feel confident in the same 999 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 9: they will not have too many more bad days. 1000 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: At the office. 1001 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 4: Now it's going to happen the. 1002 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 9: Defense, though, I don't know if they have another good 1003 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 9: day at the office in them. When you look at 1004 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,879 Speaker 9: the gauntlet that awaits them coming out of the by. 1005 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 9: This is why the Cowboys needed to stack as many 1006 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 9: wins as possible going into the bye week, because coming 1007 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 9: out of the bye that's pretty pretty nasty work waiting 1008 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 9: for you. 1009 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, you've gotten beat so far by Jalen Hurts, which 1010 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 3: is understandable. Caleb Williams, Bryce Young Bownecks. 1011 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 4: Those are the three. 1012 00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 1: Who's blues to come?

But then you've got 1016 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 3: Geno Smith, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff. Whoever the 1017 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 3: hell the Vikings are going to play in December.
