Shaken Bay, we are back, but Rob Phillips, 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.200 I'm gonna let you start things off. Thirty one, twenty nine. 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.880 It was an instant classic that just came up short 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.720 for the Cowboys overall last night. The NFL knew what 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.600 they were doing when they made this matchup. They knew 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.440 about the talent on both sides. And I know we've 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.080 we've we've dissected this team throughout preseason and there's some 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.640 spots where they're not deep, but at the top of 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:01.000 their roster, they've got some big time talent, especially on offense, 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:05.040 that can match Tom Brady and this defending champion Bucks team. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.760 And they did it. You know that that they got 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.640 right to the edge, and man, that game reminded me. 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.040 I'm sorry to bring the room down heck, but it 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.880 reminded me of that divisional playoff game against Green Bay 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.360 in twenty sixteen. Dax rookie year, he's going toe for 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.440 toe with the legend. Take my heart out one more time? 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:29.240 Why don't you no oh that's the Packer game. Yeah, 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.360 he goes a playoff game here at home. Yeah, he 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.680 goes toe to toe with the legend. And not only 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.679 is there's another play where you think you got a 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.440 strip sack on the on the quarterback. I don't know 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.720 how the hell that didn't happen for Dorans Armstrong earlier 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.079 in the game Jeff Heath against the Packers back then. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:45.919 But you leave just a little bit too much time 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:53.160 for Tom Brady and he gets it done. M I'm 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.520 ticked off this morning. I'm so happy everybody else is 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.480 in a good morning. I felt that when I walked 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.440 out this morning, Heck, I didn't even speak to you. 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.160 You didn't and so I'm telling us about that's This 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.040 is a hard one. This is just a tough one. 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.560 And when you say the NFL knew what they were doing, 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.320 I think the NFL tried to offer us up to 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.840 Tampa and they didn't recognize that the Cowboys would come 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.920 into town and a lot of those questions were going 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.040 to get answered that we didn't know from the preseason 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:22.200 going into the regular season, and I think we realized that, Man, 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.920 all this talk about Dak and his shoulder was because 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.840 they were gonna unveil the Holliser on Thursday night and 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.680 he was gonna have an opportunity to throw it all 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.280 over the park. You know. The one thing that really 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.960 just disappointed me was the fact that we did not 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.680 at all stay with the running game, and I'm just 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.920 gonna point that out. That's the one thing about last 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:47.600 night that really was man. I was like, what's what's 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.800 at the end of the first half. I kept saying 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.120 to myself, are we literally just going to abandon the 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.600 run for the rest of the game. But you know, again, 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.720 it was a great matchup and you're absolutely right, the 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.560 NFL put to a spectacular first night of action and 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.080 couldn't be more happy about the production of the NFL 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.760 last night, but not the outcome. I think last night 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.880 was positive. I think last night was positive, and that's 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.880 why I'm not coming to being Debbie Downer. That's why 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.400 I'm not coming in here. Soul came on my head 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.800 down and feeling sorry for myself. Last night was a 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.240 positive thing. You just faced the World Champions who brought 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.000 back completely their entire roster and added more depth to 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.680 that roster, and they had all their firepower already for you. 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.560 And you went total toll with them last night. You 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.159 didn't get beat. You lost the game. You did not 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.080 get beat. You lost that game because you had opportunities 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.520 to take advantage of that you did not. We miss 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.280 field goals, we miss big plays. We gave up big plays. Right, 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.200 There is coverage, but we had blown coverage assignments. We 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.479 had bad matchups that we should have never been in 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.520 d Law versus Grundcows. There's a lot of things in 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.840 there that we that we had plenty of opportunities to 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.320 win this game, and we didn't do it. So we 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.280 lost the game, right, we gave it away. And the 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.040 fact that you can walk it out of this game 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.520 for the most part of healthy as far as I know, right, 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.520 Michael gallops gallops, Yeah, I mean yeah, I'm pretty sure 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.520 he'll be okay. Yeah, Right, So we walked out of 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.600 his game pretty healthy. And we know that we went 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.719 toe to toe with the complete champions to undoubted champions 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.000 in this league, aside from you know them in Kansas City. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.919 Those are two dogs in this league everybody has to 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.720 be fearful of. And you know that you gave it away, 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.080 you should be feeling really good about where you're at 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:21.640 right now. Oh and by the way, your first round 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.159 draft pick is a dog. Michael Parsons was all over 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.640 the place. There were some lapses there and he looked 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.160 lost at times. But you're right. There's no such thing 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.599 as a more ogal moral victory, no, in the NFL. 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.640 But there are positives you can take out of a loss, 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.240 and there were plenty of top positives and one of 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.800 those was Dak Prescott. I mean, you look at the 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.720 way that he threw the football around forty two or 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:44.800 fifty eight, four hundred and three yards three touchdowns. But 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.840 I kind of want to keep that in mind when 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.520 talking about Heckma's point and abandoning the run. We saw 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:53.040 that early there were six rushing attempts in the first half. 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.280 There were eighteen total for the game. Why was that 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.440 the case and is that something we can expect moving 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.880 forward with Kellen Moore in this office. Well, look, I 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.880 don't want that to be the case because of what 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.599 you're paying Ezekiel Elliott. I think Kelly Moore was in 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.640 a situation last night where the Tampa defense was loading 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.320 the box. They were daring you to run. Vita Vey 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.520 was a complete nightmare last night, and you have McGovern 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.600 who is who did a great job, by the way, 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.599 but the interior of your offensive line was being tested. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:28.159 I still think you have to make defenses, be honest. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.120 And the Cowboys just saying, well, okay, you're gonna play 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:32.600 it like this, Well we're gonna Doude's gonna throw it 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.760 all over the park. And Dad did a really good 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.360 job of finding those mismatches in those coverages. Top Bowls 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.760 did a lot to try and confuse Dak Prescott, but 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.240 that may have worked on a rookie quarterback. And Dad 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.080 just did a really good job of manipulating the offense 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.000 and getting those extra yards in the past. Yeah, in 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.640 regards to the run, I think Kellen Moore has an 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.960 attention attention span issue, right, attention deficit when it comes 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.400 to run. He's comfortable with the pass and he was 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:00.960 in his bag. He said it in the postgame show 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.880 last night, Kellen Moore was in his bag that boy 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.120 came to play. I thought it was one of the 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.280 best called games I've seen from Kellen Moore. He did 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.240 an amazing job from the time, from the from the 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:10.160 beginning snap all the way to the end. He came 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.560 out with great formations, great shifts, motions. We did a 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.280 lot of twelve personnel. We talked about that this offseason, right, 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.040 a lot of twelve personnel because we have two guys 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.320 that can go out there and make it happen, not 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.400 only to give us opportunity to run the ball, but 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.400 to pass the ball. And we just abandoned the run. 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.320 You know, to your point, we abandoned the run. We 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.040 talked about it on this show last week. You're not 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.200 getting anything up up front, up the middle. It's a 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.520 wasted play. I said that, right, it's a wasted dog 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.600 on play. So when we ran outside, guess what zeke stretch? Stretch, 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.480 stretch or stretch. He put his foot in the ground. 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.200 And you saw the work he put in this offseason 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.320 and his explosiveness. You saw him put his foot in 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.240 the ground and get three, four or five yards at 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.760 a pop. Right, we saw Pollard in corporation of Pollard 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.360 being able to get the ball in his hands, getting 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.600 him moving. And then what happened. Kellen Moore, the add 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.600 came in and he said, I'm just gonna throw the ball. 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.080 It's not that we couldn't run the ball, is that 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.360 we abandoned it. Yeah, And I think one thing that 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.720 the way the game is change too. The short passing 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:05.200 game can function as a suffer the running game, and 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:06.960 they tried to do that, and they really tried to 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.600 attack the edges because like you said, hey, they didn't 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.880 want to run into a brick wall. And the thing 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.160 about this Cowboys offensive line, they're still very talented, but 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.880 there they were young up the middle last night on 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.880 the interior, and when they have been a great running 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.480 team the last few years. They had Travis Frederick at center, 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.240 they had Zack Martin at right guard. Zach obviously did 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.080 not play in this game because of COVID, and it 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.080 was just a different a different game for them. I honestly, 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.360 I thought both teams saw the same game offensively, Yeah, 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.360 they saw matchups on the outside that they loved. We'll 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.600 get into Tom Brady what he saw on the outside. 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.439 And you know, when Sean Murphy Bunting went down for Tampa, 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.240 they looked at and yeah, and they see the box 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.000 loaded said, look, we love our receivers, we love these matchups. 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.640 So I'm with you, like you don't want to fifty 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.600 was it fifty eight? Fifty eight pass attempts? I mean 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.400 that's that tied his career high for DAK that's that 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.240 is too much. But they found other ways to try 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.240 to agree. Mimic the run game with some short passing 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.520 game and hey, we saw some two back sets with 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.640 Tony Pollard in there too. Based on this game, Tony 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.040 Pollard is going to get a lot more run than 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.160 he did last year. And I believe he should and 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.280 and I think he's a difference maker. And then you 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.640 look around the NFL, A lot of teams have that 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.680 thunder and lightning set from their running backs. Um, but 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.520 going back to what you said about the tight ends 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.280 and twelve personnel, Yeah, use twelve personnel when you have 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.640 tight ends that can block. You know, I think our 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.120 tight ends if you just spot like that, I think 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.400 Jarwin did a kind of mediocre job and blocking and 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.640 because but that's what I'm saying when you compliment the 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.520 formation is what I'm saying. I think that adds a 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.120 different wrinkle when you have guys that can actually block 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.560 and get you that extra So look, that was the 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.720 main thing for me. That was you know, when I 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.839 when I look back up looked at the game again 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.160 last night, I was like, man, we missed some opportunities, 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.600 especially in one on one matchups, the the option route down, 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.559 the flipout to to Zeke where jarwin. All we need 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:03.680 you to do is get that block man and Zeke. 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.959 You gotta win that one on You gotta if you're 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.640 one on one in space, you gotta win that matchup. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.240 That I mean, it comes down to the red zone again, 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.040 Like they still missed their opportunities in the red zone 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.000 as good as they've been moving the ball, but I 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.400 just looked at the rushing statue real quick for Tampa. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.880 Leonard Fournette had nine carries. Tampa had fourteen carries total 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.080 in the game. Cowboys actually had eighteen carries if you 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.000 factored four rushes by Dak. So it was just kind 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.559 of that kind of game. And honestly, the league is 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.480 headed that way too, where it's it's it's turning into 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.400 a track meet when you especially when you have two 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.440 great quarterbacks. And after this performance, I think Dack's in 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.160 that category for people to show for people that don't 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.199 think he is. He's in that top tier of quarterbacks 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:45.840 at this point in the NFL. I think no doubt. 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.360 I mean, that was a gutsy game from Dak Prescott 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.320 and then he's gonna have to be gutsy moving forward. 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:51.760 We're going to talk about that in a little bit. 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.120 But I want to go back to the missed opportunities. 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.480 There were four points easy left off the port a 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.000 pat and a thirty one yard field goal that were missed, 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.240 and Zerline took took blame for that. After the game, 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.319 he was very upfront, he said, I can't miss kicks 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.160 like that. I mean, he made the big kicks, made 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:09.920 the big kicks. He missed those two and that's four 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.960 points off the board, and gosh, those four points would 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.800 have been nice later on. Yeah, I mean, yeah, everybody's 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.960 gonna point to Zirline. Right. You have one job to do, 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.120 and that's the kick, kick extra points and kick field goes, 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.480 and yes he has to score. He has to make those. Um. 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.520 Unfortunately he didn't. But that was not the only thing 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.920 and only opportunities that we had. Ceedee Lamb had what 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.840 two drops? Yep, Ceede Lamb had two exactly, So he 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.080 had two big drops. Um. You know, there were some 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.640 other past completions that were still left on the left 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.480 on the on the table out there, and I think 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.760 that was in regards to Dak and his hesitation to 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:44.760 really try to drive the ball in there. His timing 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.719 was off in that first half, and we had a 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.480 lot of opportunities there. So it was a collective effort 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.640 in terms of opportunities. Um it, everybody's gonna point the 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.080 finger as zirline and I get it. I get it, 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.200 But don't be don't be just a fan being an 0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:59.800 analyst for a second and look at it and say, 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.480 there's a lot of other things that we could have 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.280 done that would have kept us out of a position 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.520 to where we needed those four points. So I'm gonna 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.920 be a complete fan here. So it doesn't matter because 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:14.200 the and I think the coaching coaches do that. You know, 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.320 you shouldn't have to rely on a kicker to win 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.080 you the game, but that's what they're there for. And 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:20.720 a lot of times you drive the length of the 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.400 field and you get close enough and you have a 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.240 kicker that you understand can get you that a thirty 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.160 seven yard field goal miss. Come, you can come on, bro, 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.440 excuse me, excuse me. Minus six you get. You'll get 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:37.160 no argument from me. Let's go back to the pat 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.600 you gotta get that. I mean, these are things that 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.600 are differences in the game, and let's just talk about 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.280 the fine points of coaching and just being able to 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.920 make end game adjustments things like that. And that's when 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:48.720 you look around the league, you look at coaching, and 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.800 you could recognize those coaches that make those adjustments in 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:56.040 game when we can't. I feel, your brother, I feel. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.559 All I'm saying is just to address that question. It's 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.920 not it wasn't just Zeroline. We needed those points and 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.720 he should have had those points. Let's put that on 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.280 the cops battle. They did, everybody battle. But there were 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.520 other opportunities there work. There were plenty of other opportunities 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.600 that put us in a bad position. That's all I'm saying. 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.680 It was not solely him. Should he do his job 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.360 appster frequently, but that's not the only person who did 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.280 not accomplish what they needed to take care of. I mean, 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:18.960 I didn't expect him to miss a thirty one yard 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.320 or but I mean Russ or whatever. It seemed like 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.160 that's some kind of technical issue because he was pulling 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.120 the ball. He was going left until if you missed 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.760 the thirty one, then you come back and you've hit 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.440 the He was going to sixty after the guy just 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.240 mixed the thirty one? What else would you do in 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.480 that situation? Man, I don't know. I wouldn't pick put 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.760 the guy out there that just missed the thirty one 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.600 yard field goal to try and make a sixty yard 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.040 field goal. Gonna pun it, Man, you're gonna. I'm not 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.719 gonna put that guy in that situation. I don't. I 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.760 don't fault them for that, for attempting that. Yeah, I 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.839 really don't either. I don't. I don't. It didn't turn 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.440 up into points the other way, luckily, but it did 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.640 give an opportunity for it to turn into points the 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.640 other way. Yeah, that was my issue with it. Yeah, 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.080 it's it's Tom Brady's only needs a couple first downs 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.160 and there you go. So that's what we're talking about. 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:07.400 We're talking about what if. But that's what your whole 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.200 thesis is based off of. About what if? No no no, 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.240 no, no no, no. My thesis is on taking care of 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.600 what you're responsible for doing. That's what I'm talking about. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.520 He didn't. Zerline did not take care of his job, 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.520 but he had not, and there were other guys that 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.440 didn't take care of their jobs. And because they didn't 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.520 take care of their jobs, it gave the other team opportunities. 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.040 That's what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about what 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.840 if scenarios. I'm saying CD should have caught those balls, 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.760 Zeroline should have made those field goals. Daks should have 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.000 been on time with some of the pass cousins. No, 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:33.800 but I'm saying, but if had they done what they 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.240 were supposed to do, those were completely Okay, That's what 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.080 I'm saying. That's their job, right, You're talking about Zerline, 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:40.960 his job is to make field goals. Dak's jobs do 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.160 the ball on time. CD's jobs to catch the ball, 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.400 our jobs to tackle, our job on special teams and 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.320 then not give up thirty yard freaking returns. You know 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.400 what I'm saying. So like, those are jobs, that's what 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.840 you're paid to do. And they and unfortunately, there was 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.080 a lot more than just those two kicks that guys 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.480 did not complete their complete their responsibilities. Yeah. No, I'm 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.960 just looking at the missopportunities and you miss you mentioned 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.360 and I think see on the first drive, I think 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.640 you could call it a drop by CD, but Dak 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.120 kind of left it a little short. We mentioned the 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.480 Zeke pitch out where they settled there in the red 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.480 zone there. You know, you get an interception at the 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.360 Tampa Bay twenty one, you kick field goal. I mean 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:15.640 those are the kind of things you look back and 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.560 you're like, damn, you know, yeah, it is more than 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.360 the field goals for sure. Yeah. And you can look 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.640 at blown coverage on the defensive side of the football 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.440 on a couple of occasions. There are some veterans I 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.360 think at the cornerback spot that you might want to 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.720 take a look at. But we're gonna talk about that 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.320 coming up later on when we come back. How how 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:36.480 did Zak Prescott look in his return to action his 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.360 first game and eleven months, three hundred and thirty three 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.640 days put up four hundred plus yards. What did we 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.280 think about him and the offense in general? When we 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:49.400 return here with Talking Cowboys presented by Tostitos, Honey, Big News, Gary, 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.000 Are you okay? Oh? I'm not Gary anymore.

Let's got 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:13.959 a lot of sad faces around here. There's a lot 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.520 to take away from this game as positive. People got 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.919 to see the positive insurance situation. Yeah, a lot of 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.800 positive to see. We again, we lost. We lost the game. 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.520 We didn't get we didn't get scraped up. I think 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.640 fans have to look at this game and be like positive, 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.320 this is gonna be a fun Come on, man, Yeah, 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.560 if we stay healthy, be excited the offense we have 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.119 and maybe the defense continues to get better. And like, 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.280 can I just say this real quick, yep, that the 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.320 weather was a factor, like the humidity. You saw a 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:43.000 post game pre game in the everybody. I mean, you 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.840 know Cowboys tried to mimic that out here. But the 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.040 defensive line they played every guy, I mean even Bradley 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.159 and I got ten snaps in the game. So I 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.600 thought they fought defensively for what they had to deal 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.280 with with the humidity and you know, missing some key 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.359 guys on offense. So can I say something everybody that 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.520
