37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: They get to four and four. I was trying to

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: get you to do last night let's start just like

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: we do every week. Yeah, go down, We'll go down

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: to the table. Here. You get a minute a piece.

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: Tell us what you saw yesterday. It might you might

42
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: only need fifteen seconds, but you get a full minute.

43
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: Rob So let's go. Good start, terrible finish, no doubt

44
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, they came out hot offensively, did

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: what they wanted to do, and they couldn't sustain it

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: over sixty minutes. And what wound up happening was Tennessee

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: did to Dallas what Dallas likes to do to teams,

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: and that's grind him down. Second half, they dominated time

49
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: in possession thirty four minutes. The game was ultimately lost

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: early when they couldn't capitalize on their opportunities, and for

51
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: once the first time all year, the defense didn't play

52
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: close to a dominant football game, and it didn't mask

53
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: some of the problems that they've had offensively. We talked

54
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: about trying to get twenty points a game. Fourteen points

55
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: sometimes that's enough for this defense. Fourteen seventeen not enough

56
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee offense that really had struggled all year long.

57
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: That was a really surprising thing for me. But you

58
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: brought us yeah, I think this game came down to

59
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: third down conversions, and it came down to where you're

60
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: gonna go with that go ahead? Yeah, but but if

61
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: you but not just the normal everyday third down conversions.

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: We're talking third and seven plus, you know. And Marcus

63
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: Mario and the Tennessee Titans, like Crobs said, their offense

64
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: was challenged. They were challenged all year to sustain drives,

65
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: to convert third downs, to even play well in the

66
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: red zone. They made note they made no big plays

67
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: last of the National Football League in plays of twenty

68
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: plus yards, and they had some huge plays a third

69
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: and ten play they threw down the middle of the field,

70
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, with Sean Lee and coverage and all, and

71
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, it just it was it was those types.

72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean they yeah, they had some third and ones

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: and third and twos, but the majority of their eleven

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: to fourteen conversions were third and seven plus. And if

75
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: you're doing that, I don't care who you are, you're

76
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: gonna win games. And the cow always had no answer

77
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: for them. They had no answers for the third down plays,

78
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: They had no answers for their screen package. And I

79
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: asked Jason Garrett that question today. That was awful. The

80
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: way they played those screens. They didn't get off blocks,

81
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: they didn't get to anybody. They had a big, big,

82
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: big problem trying to get anybody on the ground on

83
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: those particular plays. Derek, what you got the surprise here

84
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: was the defense, mainly because as we went into that game,

85
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: I said last week on the award winning Cowboys Break

86
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: that I didn't really expect necessarily that the offense was

87
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: going to be great this game, I thought, adding Amari Cooper,

88
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: I thought, and I've seen before where they come off

89
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: a bye and they're a little flat, they don't quite

90
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, they're not quite clicking. So I wasn't really

91
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: expecting the offense to be very different than what we'd

92
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: seen before. My expectation was that this defense would be very,

93
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: very different than what we saw last night, and they

94
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: were not. And to give you some numbers around what

95
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: Brian was talking about, at the beginning of the fourth quarter,

96
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: early part of the fourth quarter, they were at that

97
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: point they had given up eight to eleven thir down

98
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: conversions and six of those six of those eight conversions

99
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: were on three I'm sorry, third and seven or more. Yeah,

100
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: when you get the third and seven. Think about that.

101
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: When you get the third and seven, that means on

102
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: first down and second down, you've held them to a

103
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: total a grand total of at least of no more

104
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: than three yards, right, and at that point you give

105
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: up this big play. Yeah, that's the part that to

106
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: me was extremely surprising and not what I was expecting

107
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: from this defense. Nate, everybody else has gone over their minute,

108
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: so you can go over your minute. Two. I'm not

109
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna go along because I'm gonna he

110
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: if you get to the fans. But I will say

111
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: this right here. For the first seven minutes, our defense

112
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: did what it was supposed to do. Our offense did

113
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: not answer. And I don't care what we say about

114
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: not pointing fingers and not hey, not talking about your teammates.

115
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: When you walk back to the sideline and you give

116
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: a guy the ball on the positive side of the

117
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: fifth and you do nothing with it, you miss a

118
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: field goal, you throw an interception, and you come back

119
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: and I need you one time. I've been on the

120
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: fifth for eight minutes, fifty five seconds, fifteen plays and

121
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: eighty yards. I need for you to go out there

122
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: at least give me a breathe. What did they do, Brian?

123
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: They didn't. They went three and out after the after

124
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: the missfield goal to chimp shop in Tennessee. Yeah that was, yeah,

125
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: it was That's where you got to have something. Yeah,

126
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: they just could not do anything to you know, and

127
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: in Tennessee, to Tennessee's credit, though, they got up on

128
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: they got up on him and they forced Dallas to

129
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: do something Dallas really doesn't want to do, and that's

130
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: throw the football. What do you guys think happened to

131
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: the defense because they've been playing lights out and they

132
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: were really good on first and second down, and Garrett

133
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: said they weren't aggressive. Garrett said that they were. They

134
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: were too they were really too passive. And the walk

135
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: off he was talking about because they specifically asked about

136
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: a Woozier. You know what happened to a Woozia And

137
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: he goes, he just wasn't aggressive enough. He just wasn't

138
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: making those plays that he needs. He needs to be

139
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: more aggressive in his approach in this game. And you

140
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: know you saw him when you watched it. When you

141
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: go back and watch the game, you see, really Tennessee's

142
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: gotten no name receivers that are winning on routes, on

143
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: your on the Byron Joneses and the cheetah etousiers and

144
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: on the safeties and on the Nickels, and you know

145
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: when you have that, you know you're not gonna win.

146
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: They did stated they were not aggressive enough in the secondary,

147
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: that like they needed to deny the football and they

148
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: just couldn't do that. After the game, man brought us

149
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: kind of got into a little debate about it because

150
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: I said, brought us our safeties and corners just wasn't

151
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: hugging the ball like they normally do and this and

152
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: we saw it and h but I'm gonna continue to

153
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: say this right here. If you don't want to lose

154
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: your defense from this point on, somehow, some way offensively,

155
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: you got to pick it up because our defense and

156
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: give you a hellaius thirty minutes but accident to give

157
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: you thirty five and being up around fifty percent on

158
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: third downs that will crush you. Because Nate that the

159
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: one thing missing with this defense was takeaways going in

160
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, they got tacked. They got two, and really,

161
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look back at it probably should

162
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: have been three. Yes, I mean yes, sir. The guy

163
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: turned around and made the tight end made a football move.

164
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: I know it's a bang bang play that could I

165
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: mean it should have been seventeen nothing at least. And yeah,

166
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: I think they got tired as well. And the other

167
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: thing that that maybe he's not being pointed out enough.

168
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: Your defensive line was struggling in terms of numbers, didn't

169
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: have David Irving in this game, didn't have Randy Gregory

170
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: and got hurt for a little bit. And I think

171
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: that taxes you over a period of time in the

172
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: second half. What y'all do to Nate? He just left.

173
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: He's right for the game? Hey, right, hey, before you,

174
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: before you get with the fans, I got a question

175
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: you you and brought us do the pregame show right? Yes,

176
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: we do. Postcame and the postcame both. Yes, and you

177
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: get to watch the game together, Yes we did. When

178
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: the game doesn't go very well, brought us isn't real

179
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: pleasant to be around, right, No, No, he's he's kind

180
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: of a mental case. How was how would have met?

181
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: How was it yesterday? What was that room like yesterday?

182
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: It wasn't It wasn't nice because you can tell by

183
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: the middle of the third quarter he started practicing it.

184
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: He was saying. Once he stopped practicing on us, it

185
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: only builds from that fun me, miss Lindsey, Miss Say,

186
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: we're sitting there looking and Miss Lindsay be just egging

187
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: them all. Really, Brian, what do you say? Is he

188
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: pacing while he's doing that or because he has to

189
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: give me the down and just yea Date always asked me,

190
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: and then and and I just want to go, you know,

191
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: when the game's going on, like they'll have the ball

192
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: and then Nate will see it and they go, where's

193
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: the ball? Brian, I go Tennessee thirty seven eight second,

194
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the team right. I think he didn't

195
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: distract them from putting all the extras there. But it

196
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: never worked, said work. I'll tell you what does work

197
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: if you ever come out here to the Omni. Yeah,

198
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: order the meatballs. Oh goodness, we have meatball. We have

199
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: two plates of them, and Brian just got through telling

200
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: us how bad they are for us. No, these are

201
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: good meatballs. Now obviously cannot wait until the break so

202
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: I can see these are good meatballs. Robert, we're gonna

203
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: race this. See you can eat the final four. First,

204
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: watch Ted Nichols pain or engineer. He will he trust me,

205
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: he will walk over here. What do we got here, guys?

206
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: And next year three and will be gone? What did

207
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: you guys see? Out of of course, the big story

208
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: going into the game was a Mary Cooper you get

209
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: to see your new toy for the first time on

210
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: the field. I heard that, you know from a couple

211
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: of the guys that he had a great practice on Thursday.

212
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: Actually pushed gallop a little bit, made him a little

213
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: bit better during practice. What did you think did you

214
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: see about what you thought you would see out of him?

215
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: Did you expect to see more? You know? I loved

216
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: about him. I mentioned this to Nick Eatman, who's my

217
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: co host on the award winning Cowboys break Um. He said,

218
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: I was telling him that if you notice almost every

219
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: play that Mary Cooper caught a pass, he was really open.

220
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking he had created separation of a couple of yards, um,

221
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: and that's usually a good signing that the guy knows

222
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: how to run really good routes. And that's something that

223
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: we've heard for the last several years. I don't know

224
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: how many years now we've heard about the Cowboys receivers

225
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: not being able to run, Chris brownse not being able

226
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: to get open, not being able to create separation, and

227
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: with a quarterback who sometimes can be a little bit

228
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: challenge when it comes to being accurate to make sure

229
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: he get gets the ball where it needs to go.

230
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: A receiver that can present himself with separation helps and

231
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: I think we saw a little bit of that yesterday.

232
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see now how much can they

233
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: take that a little farther? Can they incorporate the deep

234
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: ball into his game as well? But I was pretty

235
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: excited with what I saw. There two things that stood

236
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: out for me. The one deep shot they took to

237
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley in the first half that was a product

238
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: of the attention that he drew. They double covered him

239
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: down the seam they had. I mean Cole was open

240
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: for a step, Yeah, a step. That's that's the effect

241
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: that he can have for other receivers even though they

242
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: double Cole for a lot of the night. The other

243
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: thing was he had a catch run after catch before

244
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: the second touchdown to Alan Hearns where it was Dez

245
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: Bryant like where it's a big, physical receiver that you're

246
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to gang tackle me to stop me. And

247
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: that's a different element that I don't think this receiving

248
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: corps has had so far this season. He's a big, physical,

249
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: fat as talented wide out, and I mean he's he

250
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: is a number one option, and I expect his role

251
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: to grow as we keep going. It pretty good for

252
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: what five practices, Yeah, pretty good? Yeah. I think what

253
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: you saw from him on the touchdown reception, they double

254
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: cover him and he's on a return route where he

255
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: goes inside and then he returns to where he came from,

256
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: and they took Kenny macaro and tried to shut him

257
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: down from going inside the safety to try and shut

258
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: him from going down inside and maybe running a slant.

259
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: And then that's a routhy that that shouldn't have been

260
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown the way that they covered that. But he

261
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: got out of the break coming back so fast. And

262
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: give Prescott some some credit because he held the ball

263
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: long enough to get him across there and then able

264
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: to hit him. And then you saw like Rob saw,

265
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, once he had the ball, he's north south,

266
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: he's going he's trying to get up the field. They

267
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: weren't gonna make the tackle on him. When he when

268
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: he saw the pylon right there, he took that ball

269
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: went right forward, got the touchdown. I think you're gonna

270
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: see a lot more of that from him, you know,

271
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: will you know at least those those opportunities if they

272
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: get him the ball down there, you now have a

273
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: legitimate red zone threat. You now have a legitimate guy

274
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: that can make players on third down if you know

275
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: the route. He caught on the outside though, and tap

276
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: tap both feet got down, you know, caught the ball

277
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: in a small space. These are things you didn't have,

278
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, going forward, and now you do. Nate, before

279
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: we get to you, because I have a feeling I

280
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: know what all right, before we get to you, I

281
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: have a feeling I know where all of this is

282
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: gonna go with fan questions, So before we go down

283
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: that road, were there any positives we can take out

284
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: of this game? Were there any encouraging things that you

285
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: guys saw that you were like, okay, this, you know,

286
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't all bad. I didn't think Tyron Smith played

287
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: really badly at all. I mean, and we've been worried

288
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: about Tyren Smith and some of the problems, you know,

289
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: maybe not physically, but okay, you know, Hudson, HOWK and

290
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: I were talking about this, He said, you know, The

291
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: problem with Smith has had this year is that he

292
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: sets to wide. He thinks wide, real wide, get wide,

293
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: get wide, get wide, and then when he has to

294
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: transfer his weight back inside to cut guys off that

295
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: it's been problematic for him. I thought his sets were

296
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: a lot better in the game. I thought he played

297
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: a lot more power in the game. You know, he

298
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: looked like a guy that it really hit, hit, it

299
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: hurt all week long, the problems that he was having,

300
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: and he said enough, I've had enough of this and

301
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: he went out. I thought, if you want to talk

302
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: about individual guys that played well, I think you'd have

303
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: to point him out. Along with him and a guy

304
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: like a Maury Cooper, you know what they were able

305
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: to do all through out to Marcus Lawrence as well.

306
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Marcus Lawrence is continuing to be a steady

307
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: presence on this defense. He's disruptive, He's doing all the

308
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: things that I think you want him to do. To me,

309
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: he is solidifying why the Cowboys need to need to

310
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: be able to sign him to a long term deal

311
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: in my opinion, because not only is he a really

312
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: good player, he also is leading that group and that's

313
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: that's that's big I think I think that's really important.

314
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: I think he's a good player. I think they got

315
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: to resign him. I think two of the other sacks

316
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: they had was a product of him just pushing guys

317
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: out of the backfield and saying, Okay, you gotta count

318
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: for me. Here comes Daniel Rosser, comes Tyron Craft. Yeah.

319
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: Ross for a nice play on that. That twist all

320
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: the way and that's a tough stot to runway. Hey, no, no,

321
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: I got a question. Hey tell me about it about

322
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: Connor Williams and his injury. Y'all, y'all continue on. I

323
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: want to know about Connor z Okay, Connor Williams. It

324
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like he's gonna be ready to go this week,

325
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: even if he doesn't have a NIE scope. And I

326
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: think the thinking is if he does have the scope,

327
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: it can kind of clean some things up and maybe

328
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: his return. You know, Randy, he's tried to play through it.

329
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: This might get him back in a week or two.

330
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: We'll see. The question is what they would do if

331
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: he does in fact miss time. Do you do you

332
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: fix one spot and put steel Philo in there guard

333
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: he's your primary backup guard, or you try to move

334
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: Joe Looney to guard and put out in Redman in

335
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: there and fix two spots. It doesn't sound like Lyle

336
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: Collins is an option at guard. Nate. We'll talk to

337
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: you about that. I'm sure if you ask him about

338
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: moving the center, moving Joe Looney, after what Joe Looney's

339
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: gone through now through eight games, I don't think you

340
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: want to switch the center out, you know, I think

341
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: everybody is starting to feel a little bit more comfortable

342
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: now with You'll Loudy. I think it's not gonna be

343
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: Sue Philo. I think it's gonna be Redman. They're gonna

344
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: play card now. He's more of a center though, right, yeah,

345
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: he's more of a center. But but but Sue Philo

346
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: is doesn't do the athletic things that they need him

347
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: that they need to do now. They brought him in

348
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: as a as a backup guy, a fifty third guy.

349
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: But Redman is one of those guys. It's got more

350
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: of that the pulling ability, second level ability, stuff like that.

351
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: Now we know Connor Williams is a rookie and he

352
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: goes through rookie challenges, right right, Um, could you end

353
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: up in a situation here where you actually may get

354
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: a little better play. And that's not to say that

355
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: Connor Williams in the long term won't be a much

356
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: better player than either of these options. But right now,

357
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: having somebody that's maybe a little bit more experience, do

358
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: you end up getting a little better play than than

359
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: what you're getting right now from Connor Williams. I think

360
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: that's a fair question, because you know, Connor has if

361
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: you if you you know you're you're talking about, he's played.

362
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: If you look at preseason, that's four preseason games now

363
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: eight regular seas. His college season was only twelve games,

364
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: So he's his body right now is telling him shut

365
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: it down. But you know he's gonna have to play

366
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: another eight games or at least you know, you know,

367
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: probably six seven more games. But yeah, I you know,

368
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: I think that you could probably get a little bit better.

369
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: I think you can maybe get a little bit better

370
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: if you moved Lyle Collins back inside to to to

371
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: guard and then took Fleming and put him at tackle

372
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: five to get your best five. Yeah, Fleming. Fleming started.

373
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: Fleming started an AFC championship game, he started Super Bowl

374
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: last year. You know, now we are all not very

375
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: excited about Fleming. But I think that if you look,

376
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: what's the one thing that you want to make sure,

377
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: what's the biggest problem that Dak Prescott's had, it's been

378
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the pocket. When something happens to Connor Williams.

379
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: You know the pressure that they've gotten in the middle

380
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: of the pocket. You know, whether it's Joe Lunar or

381
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 1: Connor whimps. If you put Collins in there, now, you're

382
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: putting a guy in there that's a big, powerful guy

383
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: has to play in a little bit smaller space. But

384
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll exactly do that. You think

385
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: there's any chance they do that. I'm gonna I'm gonna

386
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: snoop around a bunch and trying figure it out. But

387
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: it might be the best way to not have to

388
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: put Redman, who's a little bit smaller guy in Sue Philo,

389
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: who's not as good as athlete as what you've had.

390
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: Definitely time to keep an eyele Nate. You gotta be

391
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: ashamed of yourself for keeping that young man waiting. Now,

392
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: me and Roger was chopping it up pretty good. Hey hey,

393
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: this is Roger from Harlem, New York. Oh yeah, he

394
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: got a tough question for y'all. Yeah, I got a question.

395
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: Now I want a real answer tool not no signacore answer.

396
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: Is it time for Gareth to go? Here we go,

397
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: say Gabbert Jason Garrett from Garrett. Yeah, he looked bad

398
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: for ball. He looked bad throwing the ball yesterday from

399
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: the fight. Yeah right, No, I you know what I

400
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm to me, You're way behind me. Then if you're

401
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: asking that question, you're way behind me, because if you

402
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: listen to any of our broadcasts, I've tried to fire

403
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: him three times now, and every time I've tried to

404
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: fire him, he's won like ten games, twelve games, thirteen games.

405
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: So you know, I mean, I'm to the point now

406
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: where anything I say doesn't matter. And but they're gonna

407
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: have to make a decision on him. They're absolutely gonna

408
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: have to. Yeah, well, no, you've got eight more games.

409
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: And from my from my standpoint, though, he's not gonna

410
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: make a switch in the middle of the season. You know.

411
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: Now you get to the end of the year and

412
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: he says okay, when he sits him down, he says, okay,

413
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: I tried to help you with this. I tried to

414
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: help you with the receiver. I try I gave him

415
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: up a first round pick who I absolutely didn't want

416
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: to give up. You know, I switched out of coaching

417
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: staff basically for you. I kept I switched your offensive,

418
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: your line coach for you. So what, let's evaluate where

419
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: we're at. Let's evaluate. And I think it'll be very,

420
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: very hard for Jason Garrett not to say, you know, yeah,

421
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, he gave him eight years. You know, he's

422
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: given him eight years. He's gonna give him the remainder

423
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: this year. But if you're barking up the tree about

424
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: firing and looking at me, you're you're way late to

425
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: the party. Okay, So but you know, we'll see what

426
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: happens at the end of the year, and Nate leading

427
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: the witness. Yeah, what are you? You know what I

428
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: just asked them, Nick, you think they should Hey, he's

429
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: your former teammates. They fired Jason Garrett. Say what they fired?

430
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: Should they fired Jason Garrett? Your former teammates? Know what

431
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: I was asking them? May answer the question? Should they

432
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 1: fire who? Jason Garrett? Garrett? Yeah? Jay, who is that?

433
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: You know I'm not gonna never go along with it

434
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: because and I'm gonna tell you why I'm not gonna

435
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: never go along with it, because to me, you're a

436
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: big man, you can get away with it. No, to me,

437
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett is Wade Phillips. Wave Phillips is Jason Garrett.

438
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: And the next person that they hire is gonna be

439
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett. And what I mean by that is they

440
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,239
Speaker 1: gonna have to come in. They gonna have to they

441
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna come in and give up certain rights as a coach.

442
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: The coaches have to be control all things football, and

443
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: when you're not in control of all things football, it's

444
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: always gonna be a little discord there. So that's what

445
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: why why fire him? If we're gonna hire another Jason Jr?

446
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: What if they don't? What if they what if they

447
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: what if they go get what if they get the

448
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: guy from New Orleans or go get the guy from

449
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: ok coach Crayton? Yeah, you know you're telling one hundred

450
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: and twenty something million dollars. I don't think they're gonna

451
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: do that. Is it more importantly to have a coach

452
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: or to have the players? It's more important to have

453
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: a great coach. Do you think you have the players

454
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: to win right now? No? We don't, you know, we

455
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: don't We don't have the players to win. We don't

456
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: you agree? Um, I think it depends on the coach

457
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: that you have. I think that, Um, if you take

458
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: a really really great quote, and most importantly, if you

459
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: can find a coach that can figure out how to

460
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: get your quarterback to play at that level that he

461
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: played in his rookie year, maybe onto something. I don't

462
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: think right now they're figuring out how to do that.

463
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of it. You know, there's

464
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways you can look at that.

465
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: I think part of it is we can look at

466
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: these games like yesterday when he has two carries for

467
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: eleven yards. A part of his game, a part of

468
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: and he does well is be able to keep defenses

469
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: off balance by using his legs. And the fact that

470
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: they're not able to figure out how to incorporate that

471
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: more into games, to me is an indictmentment. And the

472
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: other thing they're struggling with is it's not the same

473
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: offensive line as twenty sixteen. They've just dominated up front control. Yeah,

474
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: Ron Larry dak was in a lot of second and

475
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: five sec one type of stuff and that's just not

476
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: the case. And look, they've admitted they're trying to fix

477
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: the old line some of its personnel. More injuries don't help,

478
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: but they got a new voice in there from Mark Glombo.

479
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: I will say this, they played better for a half.

480
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: That was a pretty good half that they played. Second

481
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: half back to penalties, back to sacks, assignment put a

482
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: couple on Dak there. Yeah, just you know, they've got

483
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: to figure out, especially on the road, how to put

484
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: a full game together, because everything, to me starts up front.

485
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break because those meatballs are getting

486
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: very want to eat those meatballs. And then also I

487
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: want to you guys kind of started down this road

488
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: for maybe the first time since I've been here. There

489
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: there seemed like there's so many things that are wrong.

490
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: It's hard to put a finger on what what what

491
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: do you need to what's the most big wrong? What's

492
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that's wrong? And I kind of want

493
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: to I want to pick y'all's brain about what you

494
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: think that is and can you fix it this year

495
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: or is it just kind of like are we in

496
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: reset mode where it's like, all right, let's just fight

497
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: through the rest of this year and get get to

498
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: next year. And then Nate, you've got somebody out there

499
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: when we come back, Jac, you know, let me ask,

500
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: let the ax this question right quickly, if Nate, these

501
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: meatballs are freezing, o, Jac, you a question right quickly? Okay, So,

502
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: if Garrett is not the right person or a right

503
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: coach at this time, what do you think would be

504
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: the ideal coach for the does Whoever gets this job

505
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: is gonna have to be a guy that's gonna convince

506
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and he can fix Dak Prescott, whoever that is.

507
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't know who that guy is. That guy is

508
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to convince. He's gonna say, listen, I could

509
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: come in here and I can make him a better player.

510
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: I know I can make him a better player. That's

511
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: where the interview is gonna start. That's where Jerry Jones

512
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: is gonna start this interview. You know, he's not gonna look,

513
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna look that quarterback position first. Whoever that is,

514
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: whatever guy is. If if you you know now nobody

515
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: knew of Sean McVay, if you know the National Football League,

516
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: you know what Sean McVay is. Sean McVay had to

517
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: convince ownership in Los Angeles that he could fix golf,

518
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: and he has fixed golf. So whoever you bring in

519
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: will be that guy who has to fix your quarterback.

520
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: If that quarterback after one year is not fixable, then

521
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: you turn around in year two and figure out, Okay,

522
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: do we have to draft a guy. Do you try

523
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: and play with Mike White? Do you do something in

524
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: free agency? Because your owner came out today on the

525
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: fan and said, yes, he's getting in extension. And that's

526
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: consistent with what Jerry has been all along, all aboard

527
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Yes, and I believe it too. And for

528
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: those of us that lived through the early two thousands

529
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: when the quarterbacks, your quarterbacks that were here, you really

530
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: didn't have a quarterback like they know that what Garry's

531
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: feeling from the standpoint that you know, if you don't

532
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: have a quarterback, if you don't have a solid quarterback,

533
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: and that's not a great quarter If you just have

534
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: a solid quarterback, you have no shot. This guy's not perfect, right,

535
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the biggest fault he had was his first

536
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: year here was just amazing, too good. He was too good.

537
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: He was amazing. It was amazing. But everything about the

538
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: offensive line, the running game, Cole Beasley, everything that he

539
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: did was perfect for him, perfect, and so now it's

540
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: like we forget that. Okay, he was a fourth round

541
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: pick and he had his faults and his coming in,

542
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: but you know, we've got him now at this level

543
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: where you know, if you've seen him play that level,

544
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: he should continue to play at the level. But he's

545
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. Does he made mistakes? One more question, guys,

546
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't mean to interrupt, Well what way you just

547
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: said I don't mean to interrupt, but you jumped in

548
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: and interrupted. What is it? What is it you don't

549
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: mean to interrupt or you want to interrupt inst the

550
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: mid term elections. I'm I'm ready, you know what I mean.

551
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: So thank you guys for that answer. Um, okay, so

552
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: one more question is like, I think that that Prescott

553
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: has been uh, you know, initially was a great quarterback

554
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: in my eyes, we've seen him kind of deteriorate, I guess,

555
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: and I don't know if we should blame the offensive

556
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: line for it, but it's been a big part of it.

557
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Look that that kind of hits

558
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: on what I want to get into in just a minute.

559
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: So that's a great question. Let's take a break because

560
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat the rest of these meatballs. If you're okay,

561
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: I'll breaks come out. If you're out in the area,

00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: a question especially for Broadest. Thank you appreciate that. Um,

598
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to know if you was a coach, what

599
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: would you do with the offensive line? What do I

600
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: do with the offensive line? What's up, Coach B I

601
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: think they did the right thing by getting rid of

602
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have first off hired Paul Alexander, because that's

603
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: my I know through I've been in the league since

604
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two, whether it's a scout or doing the

605
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: stuff in media now, but I know, I know his history.

606
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: I don't think I would have gone that route. And

607
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have gone the route of trying to bring

608
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: somebody in that was going to replace technique that these

609
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: guys had developed into all pro type of seasons. So

610
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: for me, I would have I would have gone ahead.

611
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: I would have gone ahead and went for Mark Colombo.

612
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: I would if that if that's what if you want

613
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: to keep things with the continuity, and you know Mark

614
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: had been here with with running Game, Moses, Bill Callahan,

615
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: he'd been here with he'd been here with Frank Pollock.

616
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: You know he was ready to he was ready to

617
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 1: do this. Well, what's the difference eight weeks or you know,

618
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: you know why not? Yeah, I don't know if they

619
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: looked at it and said, we've already promoted guys from

620
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: within younger coaches. Yeah, but to me, to me, I'm

621
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: with you, But I'm just saying, you know, he Bill

622
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: Quinn as a younger hire, right, Kellen Moore, Maybe they've decided, Okay,

623
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: with this veteran offensive line, we need a veteran coach.

624
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: But but they tried to hire Mike Solari. They tried

625
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: to hire Mike Solari who ended up at Seattle. Garrett

626
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: waited too long to get Mike Solari. That's the problem there.

627
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: So Paul Alexander was like the fallback candidate. I wouldn't

628
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: have hired him. And I'm not saying it, but because

629
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: of now what we know, I just know Paul Alexander.

630
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: Can I get real quick to what Rob was asking about,

631
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: because we talked about it a little bit to down

632
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: our show that you've got four positions on this team

633
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: where the position coach came in the door this year

634
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: having his first opportunity to coach that position as a

635
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: position coach. This is a very inexperienced group from that standpoint,

636
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: do you think that matter and matters? And when you

637
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: really think about it, from the standpoint of how this

638
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: looks across the league, is that abnormal? And I really

639
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of inspective across the league. But

640
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: being able to have four different position groups and we're

641
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: talking about quarterback, we're talking about linebacker's talking about special teams, um,

642
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about now offensive line. And these areas where

643
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: you have some young players, particularly your quarterback, doesn't hurt you.

644
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: Having guys that are less experienced, are really not really

645
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: experienced at all coaching those different positions. M and having

646
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: to leave these young men, I don't think it. I

647
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: don't think that to me. When you look at offensively,

648
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: what they're doing, it's all running through Lenahan. Everything is

649
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: running through what who's the one coach he got to

650
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: stay Lenahan? Right? They fired everybody else, with the exception

651
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: Gary Brown, you know, DUEI left on his own because

652
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: he'd had enough. You know, Frank Pollock obviously got into

653
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: it with with the staff and you know he's he's gone.

654
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean the one concept they've had is

655
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: the OC. You know, So to answer your question, you know,

656
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: does it really matter? I mean, Lenahan's gonna run it

657
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: the way he wants to run it, and you know,

658
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: and and they had to you know, he he probably,

659
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: like say Mike Solari, was gonna come in here. They

660
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: waited too long. They have to settle on Alexander for

661
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: eight weeks. Your offensive line is struggled. And now you say, oh, well,

662
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: Mark Colombos, now suddenly you're ready. Well, he wasn't ready

663
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: eight weeks ago, you know. I mean, I understand what

664
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: you're trying to say with all the young coaches and

665
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: stuff like that, But I would rather have a young staff.

666
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: I would rather have a young But does that but

667
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: does that it in any way inhibit the development of

668
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: let's say, for example, of Jak Prescott. If you have

669
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: a guy that hasn't really had the experience and think

670
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: about it in any career. He had an old coach

671
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: in in in Wade Wilson in his first year. What

672
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: about in a second year? Who was this? Who was

673
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 1: this a quarterback coach? Wade Wilson? Yeah? Did he start

674
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: regressing last year? Wade Wilson? Was that happened though? After

675
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: the Atlanta game? It seemed like to me after the

676
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: Atlanta games when we started to see those problems really

677
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: crop up consistently, right, Yeah, But he couldn't coach him

678
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: out of it. He could not. It didn't seem like

679
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: it for whatever reason, he was not coming out of it. Yeah,

680
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: I give me, give me if if you got, if

681
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: you got, you got, how many Pro Bowl players do

682
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: you have on that offensive line? Three? Ye, Well you

683
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: could probably get away with having a young coach on

684
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: that and a guy they respect. They obviously didn't respect

685
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: Paul Alex. If you look at what was said in

686
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: the locker room and once you said I experience, be damned.

687
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: Keep the philosophy consistent and bring it hud a change

688
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: in terms of technique, and you got young players trying

689
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: to learn it on the fly. Alow Colins second year

690
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: as a starter, it just didn't rest. It just didn't work.

691
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: They just they I credit him for saying, what halfway

692
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: through the season, bad fit, Let's go back to what

693
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: we know now. Also they also realized too that they

694
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: couldn't have receiver by committee too, right was another thing.

695
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: That was another thing they were trying to hang their

696
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: hat on coming out of all and as a fan,

697
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: one thing, you got to give it to him. They

698
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: didn't just sit back and go we're just gonna fight.

699
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely could he could. He could have let the thing

700
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: tank be six and ten and just got rid of

701
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: everybody Nate. Who you got out there? I got Ricky Man?

702
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: What's y oh Man? He got a question, man, And

703
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: I think need to be really mauled over after Sean

704
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: Lee going down again last night? Have we seen the

705
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: cowboy's seen the last of San Lee? Oh? Man? I

706
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: asked that question last night to a couple. That's a

707
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: tough question. I hate that question. I hate it too. Yeah,

708
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: what do you think, Well, you've got players in place

709
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: to replace him if that happens. Yeah, if you make it,

710
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: nothing against you. I just I just love That's the

711
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: thing about it is though, But but what do we

712
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: know about Sean Lee? What has been the history of

713
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: Sean Lee? See, that's where's a personnel guy. You love

714
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: having Sean Lee, But the problem is here, we're fighting

715
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: for our lives. You know, we're three and five. You

716
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: know we're going to play a game in Philadelphia and

717
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. You need you know, you need him on

718
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: the field. But where is he? He's not on the field,

719
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: you know. But that's been his history. And I think

720
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you're gonna have to say, Okay,

721
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: where are we spending our salary cap dollars? Is it

722
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: going to help us resign to Marcus Lawrence. Is it

723
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: gonna help us sign Byron Jones? Is it gonna help

724
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: us extend somebody that we want to keep here? Do

725
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: you think he would be if he's not around as

726
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: a player. Do you think he'd be around in some

727
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: fashion as a coach? Let me ask you this, would

728
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: you would you go to Would you go to Sean

729
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: Lee and ask him to take a reduction and contract

730
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: stay here? Would you try and cut his money? Honestly,

731
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: I think it's at a point right now where either

732
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: I feel like he's gonna be here or I feel

733
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: like I can no longer trust him to stay healthy.

734
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: And if I get to the point where I felt,

735
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even insult him with saying take plus money.

736
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: I would just say, hey, we appreciate it, and you

737
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: go on, and you go on to a younger a

738
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: younger player. Right right now, they have replacements, and that's

739
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 1: because they planned for this, so they didn't leave themselves

740
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: exposed like they were last year. They have a plan

741
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: in place. Those guys, for the most part, I played

742
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: well this year, right So, as much as you like

743
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: Sean Lee, and I think we all like him as

744
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: a person, and to be honest with you, when he's healthy,

745
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: love him as a player. Yep. The fact is, and

746
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: say I heard you say this last year about Tony Romo.

747
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: It's gotten to a point where he's getting hurt on

748
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: routine plays. And when you're getting hurt on routine plays,

749
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: then that becomes a bit of a challenge for the

750
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: coaching staff to really be able to plan around. And

751
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: it's the same thing over and over again. It's same hamstring.

752
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: I believe that cost him what five games last year

753
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: three games this year. He's he's having trouble staying healthy

754
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 1: because of one singular issue that at thirty two thirty

755
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: three keeps cropping up. It's got to be extremely frustrating

756
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: for him because he's spent all off season trying to

757
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: get it right right. You know, the decisions for Sean

758
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: Lee will be tough, but it's in the other hand

759
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: it will be easier because you actually have players in

760
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: place that can replace him. Yeah, that's that's when decisions

761
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: become tough. See, they didn't have a replacement for des Bryant.

762
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: They didn't, so they end up having to spend a

763
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: first round pick to do it. Now you had to

764
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: spend a first round pick to replace Sean Lee Layton

765
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 1: Vanderesh speaking of on Deck, Yeah, they come up next,

766
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and Damian Wilson. Let's take another quick breaks.

822
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: Brian brot Us, Derek Eagleton, Nate Newton, Nate, you got

823
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: somebody on deck out there? Yeah, man, I got hell

824
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati, man for Connecticut, student Connecticut, half from Connecticut,

825
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: and I gotta do Philly too, coming up? All right,

826
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: all right, go, yeah, I got a question. You know,

827
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are just tired of

828
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: this coaching staff and pampering these players and these these

829
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: coaches have to get like change over or do something

830
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: like the old days. There's nothing would happened like this

831
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: anymore if it was back in the old days. So

832
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people just fed up with

833
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, Garrett clapping his hand inside, you know, try

834
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: and get these guys motivated to do their job. What

835
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: do you think about that? Changing the coaching staff and

836
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: changing everything. That seems to be the common refrain, Like

837
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: obviously we all did shows all day to day, and

838
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: that's that seems to be the topic. I will say this, like,

839
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it makes a ton of sense right

840
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: now for them to make a move in season. I

841
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: keep hearing fans say that, how does it help you?

842
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: I think when they made the change with with Wade

843
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips, I think there were two things that happened.

844
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: Number One, there were two games where basically it felt

845
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: like the team was no longer responding to the coach.

846
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 1: That's the first thing. The second thing is, I think

847
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: everybody knew who Jerry wanted as his next head coach.

848
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: It was a guy that was already on the staff.

849
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: He was the offensive coordinator, was Jason Garrett, and this

850
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: gave them an opportunity to give him a chance to

851
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: kind of get going with the team before he took

852
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: over the man on the next year. I don't know

853
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: that Jerry necessarily thinks if he were going to make

854
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: a move. I don't know that he necessarily thinks that

855
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 1: the guy that's going to be his next head coaches

856
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: on this staff. So what does it benefit you making

857
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 1: a change right now at the end of the season.

858
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: There's a lot more to discuss, but I think right now,

859
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: I just don't think that that's something that they want

860
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: to do. Unless you want to see Chris rah Shard.

861
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: Do you want to see Christia Shard. It's not gonna

862
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: hurt I think because we're not really going anywhere now

863
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: because it looks like the guy's on res findings the coach.

864
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: That's my biggest issue. I mean, I think effort has

865
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: never been the issue with a Jason Garrett coach team,

866
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: and that Derek's right Wade. The end of Wade's tenure,

867
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: they were not responding those last two games against and

868
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: very Big. It's really bad. That's not the case here.

869
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: What do you guys think the biggest issue is with

870
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: this team? Because it seems like there's so many things

871
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: on any given day, it's you know, sometimes it's the coaching,

872
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: it's the play calling, it's the passing game, it's the

873
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: running game, it's the receivers, it's all these different things.

874
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: What do you think is it just a combination of

875
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: everything or there certain things if you fix, it's not

876
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: too late to turn the season around. I've said for

877
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: the last probably month month and a half that I

878
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: think is the offensive line. When you enter a season

879
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys did, their expectation was what if you

880
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: ask any fan, you ask any you know, anybody that

881
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: follows the Cowboys, the thing that they hung their hat

882
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: on that they were supposed to be great at was

883
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: their offensive line was supposed to be dominant, and from

884
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: that they would they will be able to shield themselves

885
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: from the deficiencies that they may have when the offensive

886
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: line isn't dominant, When the offensive line is average some

887
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 1: games below average, Now you got a problem because that's

888
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: where you expected to excel and be better than your opponent.

889
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's where everything's starts brought us. You

890
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: watch film, Yeah, have you seen enough with this coaching change?

891
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 1: After one game too? I'm trying to find a little

892
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: hope here. No, I told you we thought that to

893
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: turn Smith played better in this game. Yeah, And you know,

894
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: I think as long as smart Colombo gets to work

895
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: another way, they're gonna have to be really physical in

896
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: this Philadelphia game. I'm not telling you something you guys

897
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: already don't know, but this this Philly front will present

898
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: some problems and they better be on the screws. And

899
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: I think Mark Collombo will get them ready. I thought

900
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: Mark Collumbo would have them ready for that game, you know, yesterday,

901
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: you know. And but I agree with Derek. When we

902
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: come out we came out of Oxnard. It wasn't the

903
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: offensive line we were talking about. We were talking about

904
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of other positions. Receivers, tight ends, safeties, you know,

905
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: every linebackers that do enough. Nobody was really talking about

906
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Travis Frederick then gets the illness. Now

907
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: we gotta play at Joe Looney. Well, wait a minute.

908
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: We started talking about maybe Connor Williams is not strong

909
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: enough right now, something we kind of talked about, but

910
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: we didn't expect to have some slippage from Tyrn Smith

911
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: and then the regression from Lyle Collins. That was stuff

912
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: that we were not talking. Yeah, and honestly, their decision

913
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: to go with a committee at wide receiver and go

914
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 1: with you know, some inexperience at tight end. I think

915
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: Derek said, they hang their hat on dominating the line

916
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: of scrimmage to where it's it's run focused and you

917
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: can put some pieces around Dak that you don't have

918
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: to go out and spend a ton of money on

919
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: a on a guy to help him in that area.

920
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: And then and it didn't work because we haven't seen

921
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: the same line as we've seen a few years ago.

922
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: You can even go back to what Zeke said before

923
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: the season. The media asked him about, hey, you might

924
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: have to fight face eight man nine man box. He

925
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: was like, we've been facing that since I got here.

926
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: Our expectations that we'll be able to run against that

927
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: right now, they're not They're not being able to run

928
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: against Nate. And so when you face a team that

929
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 1: comes in and says we're going to stop the run,

930
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: cowboys really don't have any answer because they can't run

931
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: against those those fronts. When teams say we're gonna stop

932
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: the tight end's been bad there too as well. Nate.

933
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 1: One more question we got out of Eric and uh,

934
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: he got he's fufilling his wife, Miss Christy, I think

935
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: her name is Hey. So watching the game last night,

936
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: it looked like Marioda really took advantage of us. What

937
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: way it looks like third down, third and long, couldn't

938
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: stop anybody? Okay, how do we stop the Philly wide receiver,

939
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: especially newest edition h Golden Tate? Okay, who seems to

940
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: victimize us every every time we play. Yeah, this is

941
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a question later in. Them are coming up

942
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 1: next and they'll talk about that. Which you're gonna get

943
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: from Philly is a lot of crossing routes. You're gonna

944
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: get a lot of run, you know. And we saw

945
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: that at Carolina in Week one. Same kind of things

946
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: they like to use to tight in vertically, they like

947
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: to use crossing routes and stuff. That's where Golden Tate

948
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: makes a lot of his plays. But you're gonna deal

949
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: with Jeffrey. You're gonna have to do with Tate, you know,

950
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: Zach Erntz. I mean, there's gonna They've got a lot

951
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 1: of players. It's gonna be a challenge, and that quarterbacks

952
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: willing to stand in there and make throws. So if

953
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: you're playing man carriage and you're having to chase, it's

954
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: gonna be just again like that Carolina game where you're

955
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 1: chasing guys all over the field. They gotta be ready

956
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: for that. They gotta be ready for those crossers. But

957
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 1: if you're in the zone stuff too, you know, making contact,

958
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: knocking those guys off route, kind of disrupting some routes.

959
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: That's gonna be key in this football game because these

960
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: receivers will go get it if they have to. We

961
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: got one minute left. Anybody want to say anything? How

962
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:07,040

963
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: The meat I'll tell you what. The meat balls will

964
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: cover up a lot of bad. Yeah. I can take

965
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,480
