13
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: about complimentary wins on this show the last four weeks

14
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: or so. This was a complimentary loss and we are

15
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: going to break it down for you here from the

16
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco alongside heck My Harrison, Isaiah stand back

17
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: back with Rob Phillips. Great news there that Rob is

18
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: back on Talking Cowboys this week with Rob p Island.

19
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeoman's Chris Beam running this thing in the back.

20
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: But gentlemen, we'll start with just general thoughts about the

21
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: loss of Cowboys come up short in a comeback effort.

22
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: They fell behind at one point in the game twenty

23
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: two to seven, and just really couldn't find their way back.

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Rob They had a couple opportunities, maybe some miscalls from

25
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: the officials, but in the end, the Cowboys just didn't

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: play well enough to win that football game. Yeah, I

27
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: think you said it, Kyle. Like I, I kind of

28
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: got killed on social media after the game, and sometimes

29
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm a little sensitive about those things, but at this time,

30
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: I held I held my ground because because look, yes

31
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: there were misscalls. There was a huge miss call at

32
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: the end of the game. But the bottom line is

33
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: they did not do enough in quarters one through three

34
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: to give themselves a good enough chance to win that game.

35
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. And guys said that after the game.

36
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper said that the game doesn't go on forever.

37
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: You don't get an eternal number of chances. And like

38
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: you said, when you only have seven points deep into

39
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: the game in the second half and you've got a

40
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: single yard in the third quarter until the very end,

41
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: you're digging yourself a huge hole. And Arizona came out

42
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: and was the more desperate team. They were the more

43
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: banged up team, coming off of three straight losses and

44
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: missing a bunch of guys on defense. They found a

45
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: way to win. The Cowboys did not, even though, yes,

46
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: you can question some calls, and I understand why players

47
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: are upset, but they didn't play enough well enough to

48
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: win that football game, and now they're not in the

49
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: position they would like to be, certainly in the playoff picture.

50
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: As Rob p I'm not gonna let you do that.

51
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: I agree with the second half of your sentiments. The

52
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: first half sounds are much like Mike McCarthy or players

53
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: on the Dallas Cowboys right now that are accepting this

54
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: excuse for saying all the referees. Every time the Dallas

55
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: Cowboys have lost this year, it's been the referees. If

56
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: you go back to a look at all the postgame interviews,

57
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: it's always the referees that are getting the fingerpointed at him.

58
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: And that is such a victim mentality. I talked about

59
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: it on a post game that play at the end

60
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: of the game. First of all, no referee is seeing

61
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: that play. Everybody could barely even see that the dog

62
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: on replay that it was a fumble, right, You had

63
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: to watch it six seven times in the road even

64
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: identify as a fumble. And then it had they not

65
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: gotten taken advantage of by Arizona earlier in that half,

66
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: they would have had an additional time out where they

67
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: could have challenged it. So there's a lot of things

68
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: that went into this loss. The referees was not one

69
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: of them. They needed to make more plays when it

70
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: came back, came in and executed much better than Dallas did.

71
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: And that's the more older story because stone Cole said so, well, well,

72
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm not gonna argue with that, man.

73
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: It's uh, they came out flat. They came out flat,

74
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: They played flat. Um. It was eerily reminiscent of the

75
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: Denver game where they came out and just nothing with

76
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: fire at all, um defensively, And I know we're gonna

77
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: get into a lot of that. It's just look, man,

78
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm not into conspiracy theories, but I've watched a lot

79
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 1: of dan Quinn football this year and I just didn't

80
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: see the same thing, same play, same calls from the defense,

81
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: So you know, I think it was very interesting, um

82
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: as the game progressed some of the things that they

83
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: tried to do to make Kyler uncomfortable. But let's just

84
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: face it, man, Kyler Murray is a is a different

85
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: beast altogether when it comes down to play in the

86
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: quarterback position. We have to give them their respect in

87
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: their kudos because they played a hell of a game.

88
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: Being short and the way that they were, they picked

89
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: up a lot of our stuff and again, they just

90
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: did a really they did a phenomenal job where we

91
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: did not. And blaming it on the referees, I obviously,

92
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, I can see it both ways. But Isaiah,

93
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you on this. Man, you can't

94
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: use that as an excuse because at this point in

95
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: time in the season, you're supposed to be firing on

96
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: all cylinders. And I think that's the most disconcerting thing

97
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: about the about this game is the fact that even

98
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: when you looked like you were the stronger team, the

99
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: healthier team, you had all the momentum in the world,

100
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: and you laid an egg in the first three quarters.

101
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: And that's what that was. I mean, outside of the

102
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: one drive right before halftime, or at least with the

103
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: midway through that second quarter. You really didn't have any

104
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: rhythm offensively until the fourth quarter, and then Arizona shorthanded.

105
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: They hadn't had any kind of rhythm without DeAndre Hopkins

106
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: on the field, and a guy like Antoine Wesley comes

107
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: up and makes two touchdown grabs. You have Christian Kirk

108
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: as the leading receiver. AJ Greene turns back the clock.

109
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz was pretty much a factor until the second half.

110
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: But all of these guys stepped up and filled in

111
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: roles that they hadn't been over the last three weeks.

112
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: So why is it the Cowboys Isaiah as the team

113
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: that had to be the one they had to figure

114
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: it out against because there had to be something that

115
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: they saw on film both sides of the football. We'll

116
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: get into offensive defense specifically coming up in the next

117
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: couple of segments, but there had to be something they

118
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: saw that said we're gonna beat this team, because they

119
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: came out with a boatload of confidence. Your professional athletes,

120
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: you professional coaches, and you show up to a game

121
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: and your competitors, you make a decision that you're gonna go,

122
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,559
Speaker 1: you know, a ball to the wall, and that's exactly

123
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: what Arizona came in it did. They said, we're gonna

124
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: throw everything at Dallas, and Dallas is gonna have to

125
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: show us that they're capable of stopping it, and they weren't.

126
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: When they came out and they lined up and they

127
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: brought everybody at the line of scrimmage, Deck said, oh crap.

128
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: The offensive line said, oh crap, there's only so many

129
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: guys that you can block, and we're gonna get home.

130
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to Deck. We're gonna disrupt Deck before

131
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: he can get the ball off to these receivers. These

132
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: receivers were not going to get off the line of

133
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: scrimmage and get these these you know, these short passing

134
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: game options like Dak had been so great at earlier

135
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: in the season. They totally disrupted that. So what started happening.

136
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: Dak was coming up and he was having to totally

137
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: redo all the protections, he was having to totally redo

138
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: all the plays, and that cause hesitation. That did not

139
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: enable them to go out there and play fast like

140
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: they did last week. That was disruptive. And then offensively

141
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: for Arizona, they just had Kyler Murray. Everybody's putting the

142
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: finger at the defensive line saying, oh, where where was

143
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: this that? You know? Heckman, you mentioned that, you know,

144
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: you didn't see the dan Quinn type defense, and I

145
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: kind of come back that because I feel as if

146
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: they did a good job of getting back there. The

147
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: only difference is you're not dealing with quarterbacks who have

148
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: the inability to run the ball. This dude sees pressure.

149
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: This dude sees defensive ends going up the field. He's coming,

150
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: stepping in and out. We said it all week long.

151
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: Pressure on the ends means nothing. If you don't have

152
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: internal pressure against a running quarterback, it doesn't present a

153
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: problem for him. And we did not have internal pressure

154
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: this week, and that is why this game turned out

155
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: the way that it was. They just wanted to win

156
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: the game more in Dallas, unfortunately, this year has a

157
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: record of that versus teams that are above five hundred

158
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: in the win column. They were aiding one coming into

159
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: the game versus the NFC. Okay, that's fine and Danny,

160
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: but only one in one against the NFC. When it

161
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: comes to games over five hundred, you know, the teams

162
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: that have a winning percentage over five hundred. This was

163
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: another one of those teams. So now you're eight and

164
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: two against the NFC and you're one in two versus

165
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: teams over five hundred. Rob totally agree. I mean we

166
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: talked about it during the week or when I was

167
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: on barely during the week last week, that this was

168
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: a better test. I mean, they won four straight games,

169
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: and give them credit, three of them more straight we're

170
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: on the road, but that was a playoff team that

171
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: they played yesterday and a playoff quarterback, and hey, a

172
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: hell of a coaching job by Arizona in terms of

173
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: the game plan that was executed better. I mean, they knew,

174
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: as banged up as their defense was, they had to

175
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: control the line of scrimmage, control time of possession, and

176
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: keep Dak and the offense off the field and protect

177
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: their defense. And they did that. They dominated time of possession,

178
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: They kept the ball out of the Cowboys offenses hands,

179
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: got them out of rhythm, like you said, with a

180
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: lot of different pre snap looks, a lot of stuff,

181
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, not necessarily stuff Dak hasn't seen, but a

182
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: lot of that after the snap, guys dropping back into coverage,

183
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: flooding passing lanes. And they got the other thing too,

184
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: is they completely shut down the run. That was a

185
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: season low forty five rushing yards for the Cowboys. We've

186
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: talked about it. They have been in a run offensively.

187
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: We thought they got out of it against Washington, but

188
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: they were not in this game, and they just didn't

189
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: have enough cracks at it and weren't efficient enough when

190
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: they had the football. Yeah, for me, Isaiah, it's really

191
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: just you know, switching up the coverages. They stayed in

192
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: the vanilla coverage the entire game. For me, I've seen

193
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: them switch it up too many times and bringing pressure

194
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: from different angles. But again I say this, man, Arizona

195
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: did a good job of picking up the blissing. You're

196
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: absolutely right that if it's any of the other quarterbacks

197
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL, they have three four sacks yesterday because

198
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, look, Colin Murray was just able to get

199
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: out of the pocket, outside of the pocket and just

200
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: elude the defense. But it's you know, it's one of

201
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: those things where when you look at this game in totality,

202
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: the run game coming up missing is gonna be the

203
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: story of this game. But also just the fact that

204
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: we're not talking about the penalties. You know, this this

205
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: team anytime they tried to steal any momentum. They shot

206
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: themselves in the foot, and those third down penalties killed them,

207
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: killed them. We talk about the running game and them

208
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: only having forty fifty yards of rushing excuse me, forty

209
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: five yards rushing, But you take some of those the

210
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: big run from Ezekiel Elliott back, even a run from

211
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard that comes back as well on a penalty. Look,

212
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: all of those things are relative. Again, if we had

213
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: we had our opportunities. But all in all, this team

214
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: just came out flatt and you can't do that. Um,

215
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: you're right again, Isaiah with the you know, when you

216
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: start facing those upper echelon teams and you want to

217
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: if this is a measuring stick, in the words of

218
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: Rick Flair, in order to be the best, you gotta

219
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: beat the best, and we just didn't be. You know,

220
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: we didn't measure up in this game, and a lot

221
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: of it had to do with the way that we

222
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: opened up the game. So heck, I'm gonna turn the

223
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: first second I got I know, Rob, Rob, you really

224
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: the only one that hasn't come up with one yet,

225
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: So heck, I'm gonna I'm gonna put this right back

226
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: on top of you. I'm gonna turn this right back

227
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: around here for you just a second, because you talked

228
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: about the preparedness, you talked about the play calling. You

229
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: mentioned the fact that that there were multiple opportunities for

230
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to be in better positions, and the penalties

231
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: as well. How severely out coached were the Cowboys on

232
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. I mean, if Cliff Kingsbury and company, how

233
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: much did they out coach Mike McCarthy and his staff? Look, man,

234
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, situational awareness is all coaching. And there was

235
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: a situation where McCarthy got caught with his pants down,

236
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: you know, and they called they called him, and that

237
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: was all he could do was burn that time out,

238
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: and so it came back to haunt them. And anytime

239
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: you're in a close matchup and that's why timeouts in

240
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: the second half are so pivotal. But that was one

241
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: instance where look, that was just you know, that was

242
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: a coaching and I'm sure he wishes that he had

243
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: that that time out back because obviously that probably would

244
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: have made the difference on that call that everybody wished

245
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: that wasn't And where the hell is New York? You

246
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: need him? I thought they called down and say, hey,

247
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: that was actually a fun But why come we can't

248
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: get in New York to place a call inside two minutes? Right?

249
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: It was outside of two minutes? Stuff? Is it outside

250
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: they the call? I mean, well, we look that we

251
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: can't bear for that. That's enough. That's another But I'm

252
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: just saying that's that's that's that's a cove, that's a

253
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: caveat of the game. Had it been inside two minutes,

254
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: they would have got that call. But it was outside

255
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: of two minutes. And because you got quote unquote out

256
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: coached during that early situation earlier in the game, that

257
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: disabled you from being able to challenge it. Well, hen

258
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: is bad this morning, Isaiah our ass right now, boy,

259
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: that's tell you what this is why I had hesitation

260
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, right, And I know you guys

261
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: looked at me sideways, and a lot of other people

262
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 1: probably did as well when we started coming. When we

263
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: came off the Washington game and we're right, you know,

264
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: everybody was writing high, oh, Dallas is killing it, Dallas

265
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: is They're unstoppable. And what was my response? I want

266
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: to see it this week. That was my first thing

267
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: I said, I I want to see it this week.

268
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: The reason why is because you're supposed to beat up

269
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: on those teams, right, And I said that you're supposed

270
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: to beat up on those seats. That's a little brother.

271
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: What did I what did I refer to last week?

272
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: That was a rotary boys and girls club that you

273
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: beat up on them? That was a rotary league. Right,

274
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: you had to go play the select games now, and

275
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: these are the select games. It doesn't matter what you

276
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: do against against the casts that you play around, that

277
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: run around and play the same four or five team,

278
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Right at NFC East, it doesn't matter

279
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: when you go out there and you play the other

280
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: boys that have to have played nationally ranked guys all

281
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: the time. This is what the Dallas Cowboys have shown

282
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: and they have to show different going into the playoffs. Slow,

283
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: slowdown gym shoes. This is this is This is a

284
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: C saw league. The NFL is a C saw league.

285
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: And if you looked at the year that that has been, Oh,

286
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: just look at the AFC, right, they are the best.

287
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: The best record in the AFC is eleven and five.

288
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: That's the that's the a FC. There. You come to

289
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: the NFC. Obviously, the green Bay has the best record.

290
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is it's been a good year

291
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: of football. Anybody could beat anybody if you look at

292
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: last year. Last night, oh yesterday, the Jets were supposed

293
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: to beat the Bucks in New York. I mean, there's

294
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: there's been strange things that have happened to all year.

295
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: And all I'm saying is, look, we played flat. We'll

296
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: see him again or whoever see. We just got to

297
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: play better. It's not as though Arizona came in here

298
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: and completely wiped the floor with us. It was self inflicted.

299
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: Before this week, you were you know, hey, it was

300
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: when a team gets back Montan sweating, and you know,

301
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: when teams get these people back, or you know, Dak

302
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: is not looking like himself anymore, and all of those things.

303
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: But look, man, if Kelly Moore comes out and he

304
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: scripts the first fifteen plays the way that he did

305
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: against this team against Arizona, man throw those first fifteam

306
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: plays away. You have to start all over with this thing,

307
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: because look, that just didn't work for us. Man. And

308
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Isaiah, I rely on you heavily for

309
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: a lot of this because I feel as though you're

310
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: gonna tell it like it is, and I feel like

311
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: that's we appreciate that part of it. But if you're

312
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: looking around the rest of the league, man, you're seeing

313
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: that that's a whole lot of parody. Bro anybody that

314
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: could beat anybody, And that's absolutely correct. I don't, but

315
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't look around for everybody else, right, I'm looking

316
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: at these and all the talk that I have that

317
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: all my opinions come from that standpoint of where the

318
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys are trying to go. And when you start

319
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: talking about where they're trying to go and not who

320
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: they had on their eleven and five schedule was based upon,

321
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: It's all about what level of ball do you have

322
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: to play in order to win those type of games?

323
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: That's all That's where all my opinions always come from.

324
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: And this has always been a question mark that subsitted

325
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: over my head and over the Dallas Cowboys head. Can

326
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: they deliver when you face these teams that are like,

327
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't give a dog on that we have a

328
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: lot of injuries. I don't give a dog on that

329
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: we don't have our full squad. This is what the

330
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: type of ball that we're gonna play. Can you stop it?

331
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna give it everything that we have, and this

332
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: is our approach. We're gonna blitch you seventy five percent

333
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: of the game. That's what we're doing. What are you

334
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: gonna do? Are you gonna run the ball because you

335
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: because you're the Dallas Cowboys and you have all your

336
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: office alignment back, or are you gonna say, now, we

337
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: can't run the ball and bust through this first line

338
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: of defense and get to the big plays because there's

339
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: no second level of defenders. That was the approach that

340
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: Keller Moore and the Dallas Cowboys took yesterday when they

341
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: should have said, we got Tyrn Smith, we got Collins,

342
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: we got Martin, We're coming at you. We're gonna get

343
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: past this first layer. Yes, we're gonna hit our head

344
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: on the wall a couple of times. But once we

345
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: get through this first layer of defense, we're gonna be

346
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: having nothing big big plays. And they didn't take that approach.

347
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 1: They sat back on their heels and this was what

348
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: they put on film, much like what they put on

349
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: film when they played against Denver. So now other team, Philadelphia,

350
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: all right, Philadelphia is now looking at that like, hmm,

351
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: can we do the same thing? All right? We're not

352
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: gonna take the same approach Arizona is gonna take. But

353
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: there's two different examples, now, two examples of how Dallas

354
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: has now left a window opened them for devot and

355
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: you're right, heck, like there is parody in this conference.

356
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: Like you watch those noon games and the Rams almost

357
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: lose that game, and obviously the Bucks had everything that

358
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: they had going on in that game. So yeah, but

359
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: there's evidence going back to post By that offensively they

360
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: are just not in a rhythm and Washington was maybe

361
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: an operation. I don't know, like I had pause about

362
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: this game too, but I picked the Cowboys based off

363
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: the fact that they got back home the AT and

364
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: T Stadium where they've averaged almost forty points a game,

365
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: and you're thinking it's gonna be a track me, you know,

366
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be a boat race. But that didn't happen.

367
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: So the problem is going back to late October, there's

368
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: just evidence that they are still not in a rhythm offensively.

369
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: That is a concern going into the playoffs. And now

370
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: they've got this situation where, Okay, are they the four seed,

371
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: do they have a chance to move up? Do they

372
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: play guys in week eighteen that's now on Saturday on

373
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: a short week, or do they try to get ready

374
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: for the playoffs, Like I'm not sure what Mike McCarthy

375
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: does right now, because I do think offensively they need

376
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: to try to get some rhythm back going before the

377
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: postseason starts instead of just sitting guys. It's it's an

378
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: interesting position that they're in right now. Well, let's talk

379
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: about that on the other side of the break, because

380
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: I want to talk about one the Saturday's scenario in

381
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: which is going to be placed this week, and then

382
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: we'll talk about going into the playoffs there. But I

383
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: also want to hear does it make you feel a

384
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: little bit better the fact that they found a rhythm

385
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, even though it was late in

386
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: the game and they were trying to get back into it.

387
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: Does it make you feel better moving into the final

388
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: game of the regular season than, of course, into the

389
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: playoffs when we come back with more talking cowboys. There's

390
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,919

429
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: rob pe wallet still in the box or what fresh

430
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: fresh box? That's just the outerway I was gonna say,

431
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,520

433
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: Did you watch the shows last week? I'm assuming you did,

434
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: because we were we were talking about maybe pulling a

435
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: bible out that would probably be a great representation of

436
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: the wallet, something of the sort, King James. That's about

437
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: right in terms of thickness. Oh man, I love it.

438
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: I love it. Second segment here of talking Cowboys. First

439
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: non victory Monday that we've had since right after Thanksgiving

440
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: and so a little somber today, but we're gonna help

441
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: get through it, and we're gonna talk about the Cowboys

442
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: and what went right, what went wrong? And I want

443
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: to start things off in this segment. I want to

444
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: We will get to what I teased a little bit

445
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: later in the next couple minutes or so, but I

446
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: want to ask is who is the blame for the

447
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: game yesterday? Because it could be a finger could be

448
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: pointed a couple of different directions. I'll start with you,

449
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: heck mu but offensive coordinator, quarterback, offensive line, running game.

450
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: Which one do you start with here? Because I know

451
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: a lot of people were going after Dak Prescott. I

452
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: don't know if that's necessarily all on his shoulders, but

453
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: I want to hear it from you first. You know,

454
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: I think you have to break this thing down in

455
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: percentages as far as blame is concerned. I mean, the

456
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: offensive line is definitely that they didn't play their best

457
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: ball yesterday, and I'm sure they would agree. Dak didn't either.

458
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: He had some throws that got away from him, He

459
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: didn't read the defenses as well as he should have balls.

460
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: He just looked off. I mean, the whole offense looked flat.

461
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore I talked about his play scripting from the

462
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: beginning of the game, and it just man, the play

463
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: calling was off. I mean a lot of the formations

464
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: that he came out with, Budda Baker was reading them

465
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: all right. Budda Baker was supposed to have three interceptions yesterday,

466
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: they went through his hand. So this game was lopsided

467
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: from the beginning, just from the from a scheme standpoint.

468
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: But you know, there's a lot of blame to carry

469
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: to get to pass out. But I think it starts

470
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: with the offensive line. They didn't play well at all.

471
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: And if you look at the way that we rushed yesterday,

472
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean forty five forty five rushing yards that ain't

473
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: gonna get it. And you know, hey, Isaiah, hello, darkness,

474
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: my old friend. We're back to that third down stat.

475
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: We were three four eleven on third down, so you're

476
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: not gonna win very much when the third down stat

477
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: looks like that, Isaiah, I'm gonna put it on killing Moore.

478
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: Killing Moore. I felt a fella he tucked his tail yesterday,

479
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: and that's yeah, it's unfortunate, Yeah, because you expect, you

480
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: expect office a coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys with all

481
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: these weapons, to have a freaking Napoleon company. Hsould just

482
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 1: walk out there just chess, just just swollen, right, just

483
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: fresh off some you know, there's some some pushups, just

484
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: fresh off pushups, fresh on pull ups, all that, just

485
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: chest swollen up. And and he didn't do that, and

486
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: Arizona came at him and attacked him like Mike Tyson

487
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: used to come out in the in the first round

488
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: and just just coming with just a barrage of punches

489
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: and just just swinging and upper cuts and overhand rights

490
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: and and dank Kellen Moore was just like, oh crap, right,

491
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop running the ball. I'm gonna stop my

492
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: quick passing game. I'm not gonna change anything that I

493
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: that my first fifteen or whateverybody's referring to right now.

494
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: His approach to this game was different than what his

495
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: execution was. And yes, Dak Prescott gets to the blame. Yes,

496
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: the running the officer and line gets the blank because

497
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: those guys are underneath his umbrella. But he is a

498
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: leader of this offense. Does not forget that Dak gets

499
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: paid forty million dollars a year, But he's not the

500
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: leader of this offense Kellen Morris and they're gonna follow

501
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: it suit in terms of what he calls in the

502
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: positions that he puts them in. And I don't believe

503
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: that he was aggressive enough in his approach in the

504
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: game to rebut whatever it is Arizona brought yesterday, and

505
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: that was them saying, Hey, we're gonna blitch you to

506
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: death because we know that you're gonna play on your heels.

507
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: So you wanted Kellen to come out like the ultimate

508
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: warrior and just like shake the ropes and do all

509
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: that stuff. And yes, absolutely, and he didn't do that.

510
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: I had to get the wrestling. I like it. Yeah,

511
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think you have to give the edge

512
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: and the game plan and the execution to Cliff Kingsbury

513
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: in this game, you know, and not not just the

514
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: time out or the time out that they forced them

515
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: to get. The Heck reference that that turned out to

516
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: be the difference in the game at the end. But again, yeah,

517
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: they did a better job of controlling the pace of

518
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: the game throughout on their offensive side of the ball.

519
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I'm with Heck and Isaiah like I

520
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 1: think it's all the way around. Offensively, they were, they

521
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: were out of sync, um. But the penalties to me

522
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: or what stood out the most in terms of I

523
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: think they had six drives in the first two quarters

524
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: in the first half, five of them they had at

525
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: least one penalty that stalled drives, and they were two

526
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: of six on third down and they never got anything going.

527
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: And I know everybody wants to talk about the refs

528
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: and the miscalls, but when you dig yourself a hole

529
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: like that, you're asking for everything to go right late

530
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: in the game. That the refs they're human, that they're

531
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: not going to make a mistake and not gonna do

532
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: something that's gonna screw it up. That's that's what happened.

533
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: They put themselves in a position where too much had

534
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: to go right for them late, and that's that's ultimately

535
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: why they lost, even though yes it was a miscall Lake, Yeah,

536
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead, and whatever whatever scheme that has

537
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: Schultz blocking Chandler Jones, if we see this team again,

538
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: let's just throw that way away and heck and that

539
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: that's an example of that is a penalty like the

540
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: holding that he had, Like, that's not and I know,

541
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: look ten penalties, and I know that the guys are frustrated,

542
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: but like, there are clear penalties out there, and they've

543
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: been one of the most penalized teams in the league

544
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: this year. This has been a problem, not just oh,

545
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: it's the rest fault every time. Yeah, thank you very

546
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: much for acknowledging that. But let me address this. The

547
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: reason why I point the finger at Kellen Moore is

548
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: because if you come out and you're playing against we

549
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: talked about it, right, We talked about how aggressive Arizonia

550
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: is on defense, how they have an all Pro guy

551
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: at every level, and it reminded me of the Los

552
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers and how aggressive these guys are at every level.

553
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, Right, you guys, Zaiah Simmons, you got Buda Baker,

554
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: all these boys we said, they play off a momentum, right,

555
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: We said, all these things leading up the entire week,

556
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: and you have to slow these guys down. So when

557
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: they come up to the line of scrimmage and they said,

558
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: we're blitzing all eight guys, what is your approach? Is

559
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: your approach to say, Okay, we're gonna just drop back

560
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: and we're gonna now just try to catch and hold

561
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: as many guys as we can and hope that you

562
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: guys don't get dat or are you gonna reverse the

563
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: reverse course and say we're gonna come at you. I'm

564
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: gonna bush you in your mouth, I'm gonna meet you

565
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. I'm gonna drive you back

566
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: because we're better than you upfront. That's when I talk

567
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: about when I'm talking about the mentality of Kellen Moore.

568
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: He dropped back and said, I'm gonna try to hold

569
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: off as long as I can to try to get

570
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: deck as much time as possible. And when you do

571
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: that and you don't have enough blockers to block their

572
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: guys that they're bringing, you are now in a catching position.

573
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: And if you're in a catching position, guess what you're

574
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: gonna catch? You're gonna catch some of them flags because

575
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: you're now holding off for dear life instead of attacking.

576
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: Now you think that's Do you think that is the

577
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: thing that is bugging Dak the most, the way that

578
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: teams are crowding the line of scrimage because you're no.

579
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: You saw New Orleans do the same thing. We've seen

580
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: a lot of teams do that show coverage one way

581
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: to press the line of scrimmage and then bail at

582
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: the last minute. I personally, that's just one of the things,

583
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: Like I'm out there watching that. But Isaiah, I guess

584
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm asking you that question. Do you think that's making

585
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: the biggest difference and how Dak is reading defenses? It

586
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: should piss them off. And you hear that in this

587
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: postgame interview where he's like, you know, for whatever reason, teams,

588
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: you know, they come at me more than they come

589
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: at to other teams. That's a freaking problem that and

590
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: that's not just your problem. That's killing Moore. That teams

591
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: are bullying killing Moore. They're not bullying you and your

592
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: inability to be able to handle the blitz. They're saying,

593
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: scheme wise, we can get to you and disrupt what

594
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: you guys are doing more so when we blitch you.

595
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: So guess when we played the Dallas Cowboys absolute frequent lutely,

596
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: we're sitting in the whole house because guess what their

597
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: officer coordinator has improven that they're gonna make anybody pay

598
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: well and earlier. You're ignoring the stat that that Dak

599
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: is number one when facing the blizz Exactly, he's he

600
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: has the best, keep the best, keep qbr and less lately,

601
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: I feel like last month or so, but not in

602
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: this game. Not in this game. Yeah, and you to

603
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: your point, he is the best when he comes to

604
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: the short passing game. Right when it comes to a

605
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: short passing game, he was. He's at the top of

606
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: the league. Absolutely heckling. But guess what, something's changed, and

607
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now we don't have Michael Gallop

608
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: and teams start building their confidence. When you have your

609
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: twenty million dollar man out there at the receiver position

610
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: and you're not getting him the ball, Guess well, we're

611
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: no longer threatened by you. We're not threatened by you.

612
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: If you're not gonna get a Mary Cooper the ball

613
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: more than three or four times a game, I can

614
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: blitch you thirty times a game. You know why, because

615
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get the ball in his hands right now,

616
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: as teams go forward, they don't have a Michael Gallop

617
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: on the other side. Oh guess what. Oh even more so,

618
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring these dogs, and even more so, we're

619
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: gonna put hands on you. The line of scrimmage CD

620
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: has now become the name receiver for these guys, and

621
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: that is a problem when defensive start approaching us. How

622
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: much of an effect does that have on the run

623
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: game as well? Because we can't go away from this

624
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: game and say forty five yards is gonna get it done?

625
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: Nine carries for sixteen yards and along of six for

626
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott's second worst game of his career. That's not

627
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: gonna get it done. So, Isaiah, how much does the

628
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: blitzing packages have to do with the fact that the

629
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: run game has been bad too? Is huge? And I again,

630
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. Dak is not built

631
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: to drop back and throw the ball forty plus times

632
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: a game. He's not built that way. He's not built.

633
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: This offense isn't built that way. Can he do it? Yes?

634
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: Are they going to be successful? Majority of the time. No,

635
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: that's now. This team is still revolved around the running game.

636
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: That is the identity of his team. I don't care

637
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: how beat up the running game is. I don't care

638
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: how how much Dak can throw the ball down the field.

639
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: This team needs to run the ball. And when you

640
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: blitz against the Dallas Cowboys, what is it known that

641
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: they do they abandon the run? They abandon the run.

642
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: Do they have the personnel up front to batter you

643
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: and get through that first line? They're moving two three

644
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 1: layers of defenders down to one. You're saying that you

645
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: can't find a scene. You can't find one scene to

646
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: break through that and make them pay. That's what you

647
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: do with a teams that blitch. You walk all those

648
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: guys up to the line of scrimmage if you want to.

649
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: And yes, you're gonna get us a couple of times.

650
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: You don't get us one, two, three times. But guess

651
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: what in that second half, when you're dog tired and

652
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: I still got Tyran Smith, and I still got a

653
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: lay On Collins, and I still got Zack Martin over there,

654
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna get through this first layer. And guess what

655
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: tp Zeke and Zeke was running hard. That's the healthies

656
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: we've seen. Zeke, He's gonna bust out for twenty thirty

657
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: forty plus yards and I bet you won't bring that

658
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: blitz again. That's the mentality you have to have. But

659
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: that's not the response that teams are getting when they

660
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: face the Dallas Cowboys. Keller Moore is saying, Oh, let's

661
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: just hard to hold him up, and I hope that

662
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: my officive line doesn't get a holding penalty. That's b

663
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: s attack them. Heck, well, I mean I say it's

664
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: on fire right now. Man, let's go. We just go

665
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: let him, let him simmer over there, because they you're right, man,

666
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: for real, Like, they didn't get to the second level

667
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: at all. And when they were pressing at the line

668
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, whether they bailed or stayed blessing, our offensive

669
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: line didn't do a good job. And when they did,

670
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: when we finally did get a break, guess what, there

671
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: was a penalty that went with that. So um, you

672
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: know there was Jeff's never any way to capture any momentum. Man,

673
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: this is an ugly game, man, and they really can't

674
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: make any excuses for it. But at the same time, man,

675
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: the penalties really stopped a lot of the momentum offensively,

676
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: Uh that we had. Dak has to do a better job.

677
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: Everybody has to be better. Uh the next time that

678
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: we face a team like this, if this is going

679
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: to be the measuring stick game that we need, uh,

680
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: now it's gonna come down to you know, a winner

681
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: takes all approach for the playoffs, and so we have

682
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: to be better no matter what. Rob Yeah, for sure.

683
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: The other thing too offensively is they didn't we heard

684
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: about the fastball offense for a week straight and they

685
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: that tempo wasn't that tempo wasn't there. I mean, they

686
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: got on the ball quick in the first drive, but

687
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: after that, I didn't really see it. And I think

688
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 1: part of it was they just they stalled out for

689
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: the reasons you guys mentioned, And you know, the defense

690
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: is on the field a ton and maybe you don't

691
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: want to, you know, hanger defense out to dry as

692
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: much because you know, if if you don't convert those drives,

693
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: then you're hurrying up for what you know. So I

694
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: think that was something they got into against Washington that

695
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: was very helpful for them that they weren't able to

696
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: establish in this last game. But you're right. Heck like,

697
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: they're looking at a situation now if you're looking big

698
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: picture where you had the two seed. Now it's the

699
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: situation where you very well, you have to win two

700
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: road games to get to the super Bowl. And you

701
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: know the way they played yesterday, that's gonna be a

702
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: tough that's a that's a tough task. They got to

703
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: be more efficient. So we're five. Were five and three

704
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: at home, now at six and two on the road. Hey,

705
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: maybe it works out that way. Maybe that's what we

706
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: should be doing. They've won three straight on the road, right,

707
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna play on the road this week. Let's see

708
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: if they could get four straight on the road. So

709
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: all of that in tougue in cheek, of course. But

710
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: when we come back, let's talk about the seating scenario

711
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: and what's on the docket for the Cowboys moving into

Speaker 1: it up with their win dominant fashion thirty seven to

765
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: ten over the Vikings on Sunday Night Football. So where

766
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: does it line up for the Cowboys? Now? How can

767
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: they get out of the four seed? Because right now,

768
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: almost every scenario except for two, has them as the

769
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: four seed. Here's the two scenarios. If they want to

770
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: be the two seed, Let's say they want to get

771
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: up and have that chance at a second home game,

772
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: and then also maybe play a team like Philadelphia, maybe

773
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: a San Francisco, the seventh seed in the NFC in

774
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: the first round. They would need the Panthers to beat

775
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, the Seahawks to beat the Arizona Cardinals, and

776
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers to beat the Los Angeles Rams.

777
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: So every team that you were in the conversation with

778
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: that's right around that twelve and four, eleven and five

779
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: realm with you, you would need all three of those

780
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: teams to lose, and of course the Cowboys to win

781
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: their game on Sunday against the Eagles. You would need

782
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 1: that to happen in order for the Cowboys to beat

783
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: the two. So likelihood of that happening pretty slim, and

784
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: we would need a lot to happen there. But you're

785
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: saying there's a che there is a chance, and they

786
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: could also be the three seed if they wanted to,

787
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: which would most likely pit them up against maybe a

788
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco or I don't even know who else could

789
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: be the sixth seed, But they would need the Seahawks

790
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: to still beat the Cardinals, the forty Niners to still

791
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: beat the Rams, So basically, you need the NFC West

792
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: to lose, and then if the Buccaneers beat the Panthers,

793
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: you would still be the three seed if that's the case.

794
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: Of course, if you take advantage of the Eagles on Sundays,

795
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: So there's a chance still for the Cowboys to be

796
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: the two seed and to be the three seed, But

797
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: there's only two scenarios where that works out, because any

798
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: other win from the Rams or the Cardinals or the

799
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: Buccaneers kind of throws that all out of whack. Rob

800
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 1: Am I missing anything in terms of the playoffs scenarios?

801
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: There No. What you're saying is they missed a huge

802
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: opportunity yesterday, a huge opportunity. Um, but yeah, a lot

803
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: has to go right, and I guess that I brought

804
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: it up earlier. Like what do you guys do in

805
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: this situation? Do you just play everybody and try to

806
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: go win the game and hope for help and try

807
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: to stay sharp, or do you say, hey, Zeke, you've

808
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: been playing up on a bang knee for since week three,

809
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: why don't you take a rest for this game? Like?

810
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: What how do you how do you approach it? If

811
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: you're Mike McCarthy, Isaiah, everybody got to play. Everybody's playing

812
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: because the last thing you want to do is going

813
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: to the playoffs with this as your last memory? What's

814
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: this as your as your mojo? Should we say yeah baby, okay,

815
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: we need we need some of that yeah baby to

816
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: get on the field because the last this last game

817
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: was not it, Washington, you're riding high. You were. We

818
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: would have hoped that would have been your last game

819
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs, so that you can have the confidence.

820
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: But you have to play everybody now, and that's a

821
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: situation that you've put yourself in. Seatings matter, freaking a

822
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: seatings matter. That first round buy is absolutely everything, and

823
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: that's that's gone now. So now you want to set

824
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: yourself up to have the easiest road for a three

825
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: game Winnie Street. What is or at least all you

826
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: can control is the first game. But who can you

827
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: Who do you want to face that first week? It

828
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: matters And a lot of people are gonna say, oh,

829
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's kind of equally yoked bs, They're not.

830
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: You much rather play a San fran or much rather

831
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: play a Philly than you ever want to play a

832
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: freaking Tampa or La or any of those guys. So

833
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: it matters. So you have to do what you can

834
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: to control what you can because you have put yourself

835
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: where you're at. Back they have to they have to

836
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,959
Speaker 1: get you know, look that we talk about being a scene,

837
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: we talk about the offense and where they are right now,

838
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: no matter what they have to get some type of

839
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, continuity going again it fits against the Philadelphia Eagles,

840
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: then fine, let's get it. We have to get it.

841
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: You can't feel good about the way that the offense played.

842
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: But then also Mike McCarthy his finger on the post

843
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: of this team. And if this is a situation where

844
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: and look, you're going into the Philadelphia game with some

845
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 1: with some injuries in places, and you may be able

846
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: to wrest some guys, maybe this is the time to

847
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: do it because you're already where you are. If it

848
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: can't get any better than three or four, you're gonna

849
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: be You're gonna play one of the teams that Isaiah

850
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: just mentioned. So no matter what it's, you know, it's playoffs,

851
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: and it's it's winner take all, you know, when to

852
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: go home. And that's that's the way that this team

853
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: has to approach it. I'm looking at it as look, man,

854
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: we gotta get our defense back on track. Um, we

855
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: gotta get our defense back you know, sacking, getting getting turnovers.

856
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: We were not able to do any of that. Well,

857
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: we got one tack yesterday, but we were not able

858
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: to create those turnovers. You know. Well, Jern curtse had

859
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: won on his finger taps. But there are several situations

860
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: like that where you want to see this defense play

861
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: a lot better. And like I opened up the show

862
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: just basically saying, like, I don't believe in conspiracy theories.

863
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,720
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I didn't see the same

864
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: defense out there, Isaiah, I didn't. I didn't see Dan

865
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: Quinn attacking it the same way. But I did see

866
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia excuse me, the Cardinals picking up Blitzer is

867
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: they did some great things also, So look it went

868
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: both ways. But this defense, this offense, these guys have

869
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: got to get back and sing. Cast you a question. Hey,

870
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, If the Dallas Cowboys don't have a turnover,

871
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: don't don't you know what I'm saying, don't force a turnover.

872
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: Do you feel good about this team's ability to win games?

873
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: I do? I do. And on the reason I feel

874
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: like feel good about this because I think they do

875
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: so many other things. You can still get sacks, you know, pressures,

876
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: they could they stop the run, and if they could

877
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: clearly do that the last time that we saw the

878
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: last time we saw Arizona Cardinals, man, they ran for

879
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty five yards. You know, again, they

880
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: still had. Well they have one D one hundred and

881
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven yards. So those are the things that I'm

882
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: saying that you gotta get fixes on. You gotta fix that,

883
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: And that's what going into that playoff game that I

884
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: want to see them fix. And hey, man, you're not

885
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: guaranteed to get a turnover every game, you know, it's

886
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: just when you get your opportunity used to get them

887
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: New York call, don't do that. I think it does

888
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: illustrate how complimentary this team has gotten, where the offense

889
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: has been somewhat reliant on. Hey, these extra possessions, it's happened.

890
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: To answer your question, it's happened four times this season. Ye,

891
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: no takeaways yesterday, Vegas on Thanksgiving loss, Denver loss, Minnesota,

892
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: the Cooper Rush Show came down to the very end.

893
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:32,439
Speaker 1: So uh, that's been a huge part of them. Yeah, yeah,

894
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: one and three, Yeah, one and three. So Rob, what

895
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: would you do in that regard in terms of playing everybody,

896
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: trying to get everybody back on track both sides of

897
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: the football, defense, offense doesn't matter. Would you play these

898
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: guys and try and go for that second seed, third seed,

899
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: or do you try and set yourself up for success

900
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 1: and potentially most likely going to play in Arizona coming

901
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: around on the wild card round. It's tough. I mean

902
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: I I leaned towards Heck and Isaiah that I would

903
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: play guys and try to stay sharp or get sharp

904
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: going in, because I think rust in the playoffs is

905
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: a real thing. I've seen it with the Cowboys in

906
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 1: the past, even when they have been really sharp going

907
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: in and had the top seed. So I think that

908
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: it's a long time off when you're talking about sitting

909
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys. However, the thing that gives me

910
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: pause beyond guys. You know, I mentioned Zeke Tyrant's been

911
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: banged up. Now all of a sudden, it's a short week,

912
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: So how do you treat that. You turn it around

913
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: and now you're traveling on Friday to go play this game.

914
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know that's what makes it a little

915
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: different wrench in it for me. But but I do

916
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: think there's value in getting out there and competing, and

917
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: maybe it's not so much about the seeding but just

918
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: trying to get back to playing your best football going

919
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. And Isaiah, what did you say last

920
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: week whenever one of the biggest factors in Super Bowl runs.

921
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily the best team, but what kind of

922
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 1: team makes the Super Bowl runs? The team that's playing

923
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: best at day and when the playoffs hit, the hottest

924
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: team that was not it yesterday, not it yesterday. But

925
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: if you get a win against Philadelphia, you turn around,

926
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: you win this week, and then you go into the playoffs.

927
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,479
Speaker 1: You've still won five of your last six games going

928
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: into the postseason, so you can still categorize that as Hey,

929
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,479
Speaker 1: maybe the Arizona game was the exception as opposed to

930
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,280
Speaker 1: the reality, and hopefully that's the case. I think the Cowboys,

931
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: I'm on your side. I would play everybody. Let's get

932
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: a win, go six and o in the division, build

933
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: some confidence, and then get going and for the playoffs,

934
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: try and jump start this thing, because right now you

935
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: might have that dead battery if you if you try

936
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: and rely on that Arizona game a little bit too much.

937
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: You need to get that jump start going, get those

938
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: cables out, and that Philadelphia game is the way to

939
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: get it done. But that's gonna do it for us
