9
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: Real life from the s WBC Mortgage Studios. At the start,

10
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: and oh do we have so much to get into.

11
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys lay an egg? Not not literally because the points

12
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: say that they didn't lay an egg, but he watched

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: the game. They laid an egg. They got they lose

14
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: to the Chicago Bears last night in Chicago thirty one,

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: twenty four. We're coming off the visit up there to Chicago,

16
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of hot opinions, at least

17
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: there were last night about this team and about where

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: they're going and how they performed last night. So let's

19
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: dive right in. The First thing that I took from

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: this game is you look at the offense, and to me,

21
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: it was probably as inept a performance as you've seen

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: from them all season. Checked this out. There were five

23
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: possessions they had last night where they went three and out.

24
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: Three of those possessions they got zero yards, and one

25
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: of those possessions they actually got negative twelve yards. What

26
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: was the problem with the offense last night? I mean,

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: let's start where it always starts. It starts with the

28
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: offensive line and the quarterback and so offensive line. You know,

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: I just didn't think they were there was dominant at times.

30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean they ran the ball decently, and they actually

31
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: did well in the red zone there. I thought the

32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: past protection wasn't I mean, Dak was running around for

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: his life. But das was Dak's worst game of the season,

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, I don't care what the stats say,

35
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: stats lie in this case, I think it was his

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: worst game. He did not play well. He missed open receivers,

37
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: and not until people started going to bed, you know,

38
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: turning it off, did he start playing well. So I

39
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: said last week that you know, he threw for like

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: three to fifty against Buffalo, and I was like, that's

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: a hollow stat line. Well this is worse, honestly, Which

42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: that's the crazy thing. You know, I guess I have

43
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: a reputation at this point of being a Dak apologist.

44
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: I certainly don't think he played well, but I said

45
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: it during the game, and the offense was bad. I

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: mean they had the sevent team play drive that you know,

47
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: established the runs. Zeke looks good, they go down and

48
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: score and then completely disappear. I get that. How many

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: three announced did you say? They have five? Three announced

50
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: last night? And I think they have more first downs

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: on the first possession than like up until the fourth quarter. Yeah,

52
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: that's crazy. But at the same time, my impression was

53
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: the I mean Mitch Trubisk he looked like Lamar Jackson. Like.

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: That's what I couldn't get over is Yes, the Cowboys

55
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: offense wasn't moving the ball. That's the player you don't like,

56
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, what are we? Oh, well, you're mentioning there

57
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: was a play last night. There was a play last night. Yeah,

58
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: I think it was the first play showed. There were

59
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: there were three different guys that had man coverage. There

60
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: was one player that had like three or four guys

61
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: around him, and Dak throws the ball to the guy

62
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: with three or four men around him, and to me,

63
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: it was just it was a symbol of what the

64
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: night was for Dak Prescott. Talking about his numbers, he

65
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: was twenty seven forty nine fifty five percent completion, three

66
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four yards, a touchdown, and no interceptions,

67
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: eighty three point two passer rating. The interesting part, though,

68
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: is if you go back and look at the first half,

69
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: that's when you see the just how bad it was.

70
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: He was six or thirteen in the first half, forty

71
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: forty six percent completion with only sixty yards, fifty nine

72
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: point eight passer rating. That's really the story of the

73
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: game in the first half. Other than that first drive,

74
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: they absolutely could do nothing on offense. A lot of

75
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: the year, I feel like a lot of this has

76
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: fallen on dropped passes. Not necessarily his fault, but I

77
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: feel like this game it was just bad throws. There

78
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: were a lot of drop offs of an o' gallup

79
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: had a bunch of them and comment and it was

80
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: kind of everyone, But this felt like those drop passes

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: felt a lot more onto Prescott than they have throughout

82
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. I oh, he was off

83
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: target all night up and I mean he got it

84
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: together in the fourth quarter. I guess kudos to him

85
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: for doing that. But the game was well out of

86
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: reach obviously, and that's you can still say they laid

87
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: an egg just because they lost by seven. The Jerry Jones,

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: the owner of the team, came out after the game

89
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: and was like, let's not let anybody get confused that

90
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: this was a close game. It's like, yeah, so they

91
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: definitely laid an egg. But here, I guess, here's the

92
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: point that I was trying to make flame flame away.

93
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: If I'm a dak apologist, I'm sorry. But seventeen plays touchdown,

94
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: Bears drive field. Jordan Lewis gets a great toe drag

95
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: interception Cowboys on the one inch line. They don't I mean,

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't expect him to drive the field. They play

97
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: very concerned relatively. They punt, Bears get the ball back,

98
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: go down, score a touchdown seven to seven. Cowboys do

99
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: go three and out, I mean no yards gained on

100
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: the next drive. Then the Bears go down and score

101
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: a field goal. And now you're getting toward the end

102
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: of the first half. Not a pretty drive, but the

103
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: Cowboys get to the Bears twenty four. Don't give me started.

104
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: We've already talked crap on the offense and defense. You

105
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: might as well throw special teams in there gets him

106
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: into field goal range to potentially tie the game with

107
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: five minutes to play. Brett Maher misses from the all

108
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: important forty to forty nine range. He's one of five

109
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: on the year now from forty to forty nine, which

110
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: arguably is the most important range for an NFL kicker

111
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: to be accurate from. But he slept well, he did.

112
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: That's what I heard. I heard. Yeah, here was his quote,

113
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: just to be clear. He says, I hit every ball

114
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: pretty well tonight. I'll put my head on the pillow

115
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: to night feeling good about what I did. I feel good.

116
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: You know what you need to be cut for that?

117
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: You don't. You don't feel good. Why are you gonna

118
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: feel good about what you did? The results matter, right,

119
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: you know what? I actually one time, You know, I

120
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: don't play a lot of golf, but one time I

121
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: hit the greatest shot ever into the middle of the

122
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: number twelve fairway. Was unbelievable. The problem was I was

123
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: on number nine. Great shot. Hitting the ball well is

124
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: not what we're trying to do here. Hitting it through

125
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: the middle is what we're trying to do. I would

126
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: take the knuckleball that just trickles in and hits every

127
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: crossbar and upright and all that. Oh I struck it. Well,

128
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sleep well tonight. Yeah. Well, a lot of

129
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: that with when they talk to the media is kind

130
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: of not telling the ful truth. And that's what really

131
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: everything they say, you know, they're always going to say,

132
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, like we still believe in this team. There's

133
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: no confidence. As all that stuff you take with a

134
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: grain of salt. But with this, you can't lie to yourself.

135
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: You can't lie to the media about that. You have

136
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: to be honest. Yeah, And that wasn't his worst kick.

137
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: His worst kick was the four kickoff out of bounds.

138
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: You know what. I said this in the pregame show

139
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: about two thousand and seven against the Bears when they

140
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: went up there and Devin Hester was the guy and

141
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: you had to kick it away from him, and they

142
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: kicked out of bounds and all that, and they finally

143
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: they just told the coaches, listen, kick it will tackle him.

144
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: At some point, you just have to see be an

145
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: NFL player and say we're gonna stay in our lane.

146
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: Run down there. Yes, Cordarell Patterson's a great player, but

147
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna tackle him because you're doing all this extra

148
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: stuff and then you kick it out of bounds. And

149
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: but my question is is was that also a reflection

150
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: of the fact that maybe special teams just isn't on

151
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: the right, Like special teams has not played well these

152
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: last few weeks. Was a situation where they were making

153
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: a decision because they knew special teams that not played well,

154
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: and they're like, just don't get it to it, Cordarell

155
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: pass Patterson because we don't trust that the special teams

156
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: will make a tackle. But the alternative there is you

157
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: kick out of bounds absolutely forty, which is what he's

158
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: trying to do. But that also again that makes that

159
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: shows you why it is such a big problem is

160
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: because one thing begets the other. It's the same thing

161
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: with him kicking these field goals and being inconsistent. At

162
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: some point it starts to affect the strategy of the game.

163
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: It affects your decision making, and that becomes a problem,

164
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: I guess. But that's what I was gonna say, is

165
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: like the irony is you're out thinking yourself on kickoff

166
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: because you don't trust your deficiencies in the kick game,

167
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: but they have no problem trotting him out there for

168
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: field goals that he can't make, Like I mean, this

169
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: week isn't a great example. He should make that kick,

170
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: but like Thanksgiving against the Bills as a perfect example,

171
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: where like they're not even thinking about what hash he

172
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: should be on, or like how accurate he is from

173
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: certain They're just like, well, like he'll, he'll, he's the kicker.

174
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: He goes out and kicks, and they have no reason

175
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: to feel that confidence, but they do it anyway. It's maddening.

176
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: And after the game, I mean, I know we're gonna

177
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: talk about it, but I guess we can talk about now.

178
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean after the game, Jerry was very noncommittal about

179
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: that situation. He basically said, now he did talk today.

180
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: I didn't hear it, I think at first, No, I

181
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: mean he didn't say anything. I mean, he didn't say

182
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: anything about Brett Maher. Jason Garrett's got a conference call

183
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: today at four. I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if

184
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: we hear something about it today. I don't know that, Yeah,

185
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: but I mean it can't get worse, kin it. Yeah,

186
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: that's my thing. I don't think it can get worse.

187
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't you can find the guy that can miss

188
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: and kick out of bound. That's my point, right, I

189
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: don't And I said this year in the press box

190
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: last night, what is maher doing for you? Right now?

191
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: He's kicking out of bounds regularly. He's not kicking it

192
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: through the end zone, so he's not doing much on

193
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: the kickoffs. He's so in act, I mean, so um

194
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: inconsistent when it comes to kicking field goals. The only

195
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: thing that right now you could say that's even on

196
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: the on the plus side of the ledger for him

197
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: is if you get in a situation where you need

198
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: a sixty two yarder, he's got as good a shot

199
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: of doing that as any kicker in the league. Like,

200
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: that's the most you can say about him. That's not

201
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: enough to keep a guy. I don't agree anybody last week, right,

202
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: anybody on the street, in my opinion, that is an

203
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: NFL caliber kicker should be able to be at least

204
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: that bad. Right, Yeah? Is it? There's like a weird

205
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: parallel there with the coach as there in my way,

206
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, just I mean, at this point, with everything

207
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: that's happened, like what are who's out there? Who's out

208
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean, well, like you're like, what are you getting

209
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: from Jason Garrett And you're like, well, what's the alternative?

210
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: And you're like, well, can it be worse? Like could

211
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: it be worse than what I've seen in the last

212
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: three weeks. I think that this last game, after the

213
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: Bills game, they came back and told us all what

214
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: it was going to be. You know, we're gonna we're

215
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna actually grab the wheel and we're gonna take control

216
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: of the destiny and it's gonna happen and all that.

217
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: Dac said it. He was really clear about it, and

218
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: he comes out and plays his worst game Dak does

219
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and then Jason Garrett same thing. I mean,

220
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: they go out and I thought they had okay and

221
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: some coaching situations. They had some head scratching moments, you know,

222
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: throughout the game like they always do, but the message

223
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: just isn't being hurt anymore. So to your point, who

224
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: else I don't know, but they're something has to light

225
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: a fire under this team, and you know that's a

226
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: bad Joe considering what's happened with this team and the

227
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: hot boys and stuff like that, that they're doing okay

228
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: on their own doing that, but they no one else

229
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: is doing is igniting this team to anything, and that

230
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: does fall on the head coach. Do you think there's

231
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: another coach here whose message could be received, because as

232
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: much as this falls on Garrett, it's a lot of

233
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: other coaches who play a part in now. I think

234
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: it would that's a good question. I think it would

235
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: be Jerry's message. Jerry's message of it, just like he

236
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: did nine years ago and he fired Wade and he said,

237
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: I fired a good coach today because of you guys.

238
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: Can't fire all of you. So I had to fire

239
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: this good head coach because you guys aren't playing well.

240
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you would say that anymore. I don't

241
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: think it's the same type of situation, but it's still

242
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: it's like I can't do everything, so I have to

243
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: I have to let him go because it's not working.

244
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: But I don't know if that lights a fire under

245
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: this team, because here's the issue. The issue got right

246
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: now is there's a bunch of guys that'll be in

247
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: that room that already got paid. So what are you

248
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: gonna do. You're gonna cut them. You can't really cut them.

249
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: They're too early in their contracts, right, you can't really

250
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: cut them, So what's what's the real harm to them?

251
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: Especially if they're like, well he's gone okay whatever, like

252
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: if they I don't know that that firing Garrett. I

253
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: don't know if that lights a fire under anybody in

254
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: that locker room. Where are the right people in that

255
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: locker room? Because buying large, there's a lot of people

256
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: in that group who are supposed to be playing better

257
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: than they are. Their money, the amount of money they're making,

258
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: says they should be playing better than they are. I

259
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: don't know if that's going to change because they're still

260
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna get paid. Right. How many guys on this team

261
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: are playing up to their price tag right now? I'll

262
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: tell you this. I'll gladly say, Lyle call, yeah, we

263
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: were about We said that earlier this morning, like as

264
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: we started going through the list. Lyle's a guy that yeah, right,

265
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: good point. But Lyle, I think is is especially when

266
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: you talk about the offensive line, which that's probably the

267
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: position where you have most of your money and it's

268
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: supposed to be the strength of your team. And right

269
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: now across that line, outside of Lyle, I don't know

270
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: that anybody's playing up to their expectations and that includes

271
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: Zach mardin track like all of them. They're not playing

272
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: every level that you would expend them to be, and

273
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: you know, we get it. Injuries are part of that.

274
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: A lot of guys are going through stuff. It's but

275
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: the you know, the black and white truth of the matters,

276
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: that's just it is what it is. There aren't very

277
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: many heavy hitting, expensive players playing up to that building

278
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: on this team. Yeah, and the glaring ones are the

279
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: ones that just got paid, Like those are the ones

280
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people are looking at,

281
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: Like the expectation was that you were getting paid because

282
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: you were supposed to be the up and coming leaders

283
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: of this team and you're not even playing at the

284
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: level of the money you're getting in If you've listened

285
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: to this show all season, you know, like I'll you know,

286
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: I'll go to bad for DeMarcus Lawrence any day and

287
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: say he's played a lot better than people want to

288
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: give him credit for. Didn't play well last night. It's

289
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: a bad look when you're crashing down and giving up

290
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: a twenty three yard rushing touchdown to a quarterback that

291
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: had eighty yards entering the game, eighty yards on the season.

292
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: Entering that game, he had sixty four last night, Like

293
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: the Bears basically flipped on the Detroit and Bills games

294
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, oh, they can't defend running quarterbacks.

295
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna do that, and there's nothing they

296
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: can do it well, he said, And as press conference

297
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: he said, we saw some things on tape that we figured,

298
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, we thought we could do. You know, that's

299
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: a novel concept. Figuring out what the other team doesn't

300
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: do well. Well, that's the endocument this coach. It's not

301
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: really that's my point. Yeah, I see, that's the thing.

302
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: You can do that, I think with the Cowboys because

303
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: they do what they do exactly. That's just who it's

304
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: It's a novel concept to game plan for what your

305
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: opponent doesn't do well instead of just focusing on what

306
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: you do well. And the fact that the Cowboys were

307
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe this is the right word.

308
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if it is, we're arrogant enough to

309
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: to just think, well, it'll fix itself. There were two

310
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: games there were lesser quarterbacks were able to get all

311
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: those ground yards against you, right, and you didn't think, hey,

312
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: this could be a problem. Coming up. Last week when

313
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: you did the Scattery port in Chicago. One thing said

314
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: it was great, but one thing you said about mister

315
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: Rubisky is, yeah, he's a guy that can run on you, right,

316
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: And if the fact that you could see it, but

317
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: they weren't thoughtful enough to say he is a guy

318
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: that can run on and we've been run on by

319
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: two other lesser quality quarterbacks, it is that they wouldn't

320
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: be prepared for that, to me was the indictment. It's

321
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: very rare that dumb me, non scouting me can watch

322
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: an hour's worth of NFL game pass and call my

323
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: shot and be so blindingly right, like it was so

324
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: obvious mister Trubisky's an athletic quarterback, like it was painfully out.

325
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: And if he can't do that, it changes the whole

326
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: projection of what he's going to do in that game.

327
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: And that actually goes back to the point I wanted

328
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: to make. Look, Dack didn't play well. I don't think

329
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: Nick's wrong. He might have played his worst game in

330
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: the season. It's certainly one of the worst two or

331
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: three games that he played this year. But I come

332
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: out of that game stupefied by the defense. Really more

333
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: than the offense, because I just looked this up while

334
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: we were talking. The offense had four possessions in the

335
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: first half. They go seventeen yards and score. They go

336
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: three and out from their own goal line, which, like,

337
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to kill you for that. That's you're

338
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: limited in what you can do. Another three and out,

339
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: that's not great. They have another scoring drive that gives

340
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: them the potential to tie the game with the field goal.

341
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: Brett maher missus. And what is happening while all of

342
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: this is going on. The Bears are driving the field

343
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: five out of five times. If true Bisky doesn't throw

344
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: a bad pick on the first possession, they probably score

345
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: on five straight possessions. They scored on their next four

346
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: after the pick, and that includes after halftime when they

347
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: you know again, Cowboys took the ball to start the game.

348
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea why, but the Bears took advantage

349
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: of it because the defense just didn't elect to stop

350
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: anything until it was what twenty four to seven. That's

351
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: when the defense started forcing points. When it was twenty

352
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: four to seven, the defense started forcing punts. And then

353
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: when the offense rediscovered their mojo and scored, that's when

354
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: the Bears were like, oh oh no, we're not done scoring.

355
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: We Okay, now that y'all are back in the game,

356
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna go take care of business. I thought the

357
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: defense was atrocious. Okay, so we're gonna take a break.

358
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break real quick. I'm gonna leave

359
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: you guys with this stat before we go to break.

360
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: This is interesting. I saw this last night, mister brisky.

361
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: Last night was the first quarter back in NFL history

362
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: two yeah, complete seventy percent plus of passes on thirty

363
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: plus attempts, throw three touchdowns, rush for fifty plus yards,

364
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: rush for a touchdown in a single game. He made

365
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: NFL history last night. Not the first time a player

366
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: has made NFL history against the team this year. So

367
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a break, and when I come back,

368
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you guys what went wrong with this defense?

369
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: I want you to give me some answers, because it

370
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like many people have answers. I want to

371
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: hear a few thoughts from you guys on what you

372
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: think went wrong defensively really over the season. What's gone

373
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: wrong with this defense? When we come right back, this

405
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: the Break Welcome back. It's the second segment of The

406
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: Break Black and s WBC Mortgage Studios. We are talking

407
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: about Cowboys. We are talking about Cowboys versus Bears. Cowboys

408
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: lose thirty one, twenty four, fallt six and seven on

409
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: the season. They're down under five hundred three games to

410
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: go and still leading the NFC East. Amazing, absolutely amazing,

411
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: But like, do you think they'd be playing better if

412
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: they had to like chase to catch up to somebody,

413
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: Like if the Eagles were having a good season and

414
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had to keep pace. Do you think they'd

415
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: be playing better. That's a hard question. Maybe like you

416
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: need that, which I mean you shouldn't because this is

417
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: your professionals, but they need that motivating factor like, oh,

418
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: if we don't start winning games, we're done. Whereas like damn,

419
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: we lost again and our you know, their percentage of

420
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: making the playoffs only dropped from seventy three to sixty

421
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: seven last night. Yeah, what a blessing to be in

422
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: this division, if I mean that's what you want to

423
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: call it. Yeah, it's something, all right. Yeah, I was

424
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: before the break, we were talking about the defense, and

425
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: I pose the question, what do you think is the

426
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: problem with the defense? And I think it goes beyond

427
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: just this game. I think it's probably it might be

428
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: all season, but it's definitely been a growing theme as

429
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: the season has gone on, and personally, I think it's

430
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: one that's gotten worse as the season's gone on. The

431
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 1: defense seems to get worse, not better. What are your

432
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: thoughts as to some of the issues and why they're

433
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: happening to this defense? Well, I don't there's everything. They

434
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: don't get enough pass rush to to really you know,

435
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: make a difference there, And I think that everybody's just

436
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: kind of okay. You know, the secondary's just just an

437
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: okay secondary. Nothing great there. Um, They're just not special

438
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: at anything. The linebackers don't fly around the ball like

439
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: you would expect. Missing Layton van Erush is a big deal.

440
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: But you know, when you have Sean Lee and Joe Thomas,

441
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: you think you would be able to, you know, overcome

442
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: and other teams overcome their injuries all the time. So

443
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: and by the way, he wasn't playing great before the injury.

444
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he wasn't playing to his expectations. I

445
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: mean he was playing, you know, he was. He was

446
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: like the rest of you. Yeah. Right. Tackling has been

447
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: terrible too, all across the board. That's to watch some

448
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: break like three or four tackles multiple times last night

449
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: was insane there. And that I mean that's you know,

450
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: I was harping on the defense before the break. If

451
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: this is Aaron Rodgers, I'm like, you know, I say

452
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: it all the time, like, oh, the rules are skewed

453
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: toward offense, these things are going to happen. This was

454
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: this is one of the worst offenses in the NFL.

455
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: They were twenty ninth. Going into the game. Mitch Rubisky

456
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: got benched a month ago. I know they came back

457
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: and said he got hurt. I don't buy it. He

458
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: got benched in the waning minutes of a loss to

459
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: the Rams, says a guy who's struggled to throw for

460
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 1: two hundred yards. This is an offense that failed to

461
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: score more than twenty points in eight of their twelve games.

462
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: Heading into last night, they scored thirty one. It's only

463
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: the second time they've hit thirty all year. Speaks for itself.

464
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 1: They picked on these guys. Jalen Smith got picked on

465
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: last night. They singled him out in the red zone

466
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: three times in a row. Yeah, until it worked, and

467
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: it did and it didn't work. It and it's baffling,

468
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: and I thought it was illuminating. We all know Jason

469
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: Garrett is great at not giving specific answers to questions.

470
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: He went up last night and said, specifically on defense,

471
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: guys are trying to do too much. They're pressing, they're

472
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: trying to make the big play. You know the I

473
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,120
Speaker 1: thought Sean Sharif on the fan this morning had a

474
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: great analogy, like, you know, you try to hit the

475
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: six run home run in baseball when you're trailing by

476
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: a bunch instead of just focusing on getting a hit,

477
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: it certainly looks that way. And like I said, I

478
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: thought it was illuminating that if Jason Garrett gives you

479
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: a specific like that, then I think it's an even

480
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: bigger issue than it actually, like, it's even bigger if

481
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: it's so big that Jason Garrett is willing to acknowledge it,

482
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: it's pretty damn BIG's what I'm trying. So you think

483
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: that that's happening because guys are trying to get their

484
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: own personal highlights or because they're just trying so hard

485
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: to help the team win. The reason why here's the

486
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: only reason why I asked that question. Yeah, well, here's

487
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: the only reason why I asked that question. Because there's

488
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people that are giving Jalen Smith a

489
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: lot of flat last knife for swiping when they're getting

490
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: their butts whoop and he makes a play, and it

491
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: makes me wonder, are there guys that are that are

492
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: thinking more about their personal brands and thinking more about, Hey,

493
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: I gotta get my highlight. And that's why you tend

494
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: to go away from doing your job for the purpose

495
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: of maybe making the big splash play, and that's a

496
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: different that's a whole different thing than Hey, I see

497
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: my teammate over here who's struggling. I'm gonna try to

498
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: give him a little extra help. And that takes me

499
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: out of position from what I'm supposed to be doing. Right,

500
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to figure out where do you think

501
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: the slides? It can be both of those things, right,

502
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: and which it's I always it's always dicey when you're

503
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: talking about somebody's motives, like we don't you know, I

504
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I can't pinpoint to a certainty what drives

505
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: these guys. But I do know it's a terrible look

506
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: when you show boat down three scores in a football game.

507
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean it could be. It's a terrible look when

508
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: you're dancing in front of you know, like after you've

509
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: made a play on second down and a guy is

510
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: down there on the ground hurt. Now whether or not

511
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: you saw that or not, because I think he tweeted

512
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: out that he did see it, but that's still a

513
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: problem because you're doing some kind of like high fives

514
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: that like teenage girls do, you know, like a camp

515
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, like with some other camp. I

516
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: think I had any major high fives when I was

517
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: a teenage girl at camp. You didn't have like a secret.

518
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: Well you should, well because what was happening, because because

519
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: you were probably paying attention to see if some other

520
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: camp director was heard or something like that, because that's

521
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: what was going on. So yeah, you didn't see it

522
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: because you were doing that. And either way, it's second

523
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: down because they went not on first, they went on second,

524
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: and they might do it again, and they got him

525
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: the third time, which I still would like to see

526
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: it more of a review on that play, but you know,

527
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: because we review everything. But you know, and I'll say this,

528
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: if there's a weird call that you haven't heard of before,

529
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: watch a Cowboy game because you're gonna get it. Not

530
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: only gone fourth time out, you're gonna get it twice

531
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: a fourth time out, which I don't want to talk

532
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: out of both sides of my mouth. Football should be fun.

533
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 1: You should have fun while you're playing it. This year

534
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: hasn't been fun for me. No, I'm sorry, I mean,

535
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: I know, but you get my play football. I want

536
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: touchdown dances. I want Robert Quinn to dance like a

537
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: snake when he gets a sack, but maybe not if

538
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: you're getting pummeled right which they were, No, the right time. Yeah,

539
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: there's a time and place. And like I said, like

540
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: I don't know to a certainty what drives these guys,

541
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: but they're pressing, they're out of position, like that's coming

542
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: from their head coach. And it doesn't lead you to

543
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: a good conclusion when you see that type of stuff

544
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: in a game. No, that is lopsided. It shows that

545
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: you do not care. That's what it looks like, is

546
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: that you really don't care. I remember and another fifty four,

547
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: they're in Hamburg. They we're getting beat by the Eagles

548
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: forty to seven in the rain, and he did a

549
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: he made a tack like on third and five and

550
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: went right in front of the Eagles bench and did

551
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,239
Speaker 1: the gravedigger dance right in front of them. And it

552
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: was forty to seven, and you're like, h Okay, it

553
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: just shows that I don't really care about the score.

554
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get mine. There's there's to a degree where

555
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: you do that gamble to hype each other up, and

556
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: I get that, like, hey, you know we can still

557
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: do this. We're still in this. Let's let's stay confident

558
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: we can do this, but you have to understand the limit. Yeah,

559
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: by that, and that's I do think. I do think

560
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: the chemistry among the defensive players is good. Like I

561
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: think those guys love each other, they get along. It

562
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: hasn't translated. And yeah, like I know people are tired

563
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: of hearing about the hot boys, and I totally understand that.

564
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: So I have a hard time buying that they're out there,

565
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: like I don't give a damn about these other ten guys,

566
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: Like I don't necessarily think that's true, but they're clearly

567
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: trying to do too much in a lot of different ways. Well,

568
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: the point is there are a lot of brands on

569
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: this team. Oh yeah, there's a lot of brands. And

570
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: that's why I asked the question. Is when you have

571
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: a lot of brands, I think sometimes that can lend

572
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: itself to guys making business decisions. And part of those

573
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: business business decisions are look at me, Like I need

574
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: those moments where you have to look at me and

575
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: say I'm a great player, right, And and that may

576
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: not always lend itself to doing what's best for the team.

577
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: You're assignment. Maybe one that does the dirty work so

578
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: somebody else can shine. And if you're not always focused

579
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: on just doing your assignment and not being the guy

580
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: to make the play, then what we're seeing right now

581
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: is what happens right right, All right, let's take our

582
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: final break. When we come back, I want to talk

583
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: about this quote from Jerry Uh. It just kind of

584
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people reacting to it. Basically

585
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: said us night, every healthy coach will continue to coach,

586
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: and that probably means that there aren't going to be

587
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: changes to this coaching staff. I'll ask you, guys if

588
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: that's the right decision when we come back. This is

589
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: Dallascotboys dot com Radio already okay? Yes, oh so are

643
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:41,840

644
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: all three of us, Like, this has been a really

645
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: bad college year, really bad college the worst. I was

646
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: thinking about that this morning. This is my worst football

647
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: season I've ever had between college and brother. Yeah, that

648
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: can't be true. It is h No, No, he's saying

649
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: across the board. But I mean I'm not trying to Like,

650
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: you've wrote a book out the fifteen season and it

651
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: didn't go great. Yeah it didn't. It didn't go great.

652
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: But like coach was fired on one team, Arkansas, Yeah,

653
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: that might be getting fired on this team. I mean,

654
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: everyone wants it. The will both for you. Yeah, that's

655
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: a good point eight eighteen year you know, streak of

656
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: winning seasons on my other team that was snapped. Yeah,

657
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: it just hasn't been a good year and okay, twenty

658
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: twenties almost here, neck it is. I was gonna say

659
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: I invite anybody to vicariously root for LSU through me,

660
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: but I think the opposite's gonna have. They hate it.

661
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that are gonna rooting. Started.

662
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: I started me earlier this year after y'all beat us.

663
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: I started coming around on the idea, I really want

664
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: to see these fans be able to get that championship.

665
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: Get over bam all that night, and the more of

666
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: the season is on, and I've heard you on Twitter,

667
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: the more I'm like. I was tell my wife the

668
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: other day, I was like, I hope they don't win

669
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: this national time because they get that much more. Yes,

670
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: I hope Ohio State just completely runs them off the field,

671
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: just so I don't have to hear about it for

672
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: the year. Go big or go home, like I'm not,

673
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: I hear you, this isn't this isn't a game for

674
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: the meek. Go like you like, bring it off like

675
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm either, and if they lose, pile it ONFA. This

676
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: is why I love football. And then the book that

677
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,959
Speaker 1: I wrote that you're alluding to is the same thing

678
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: it was in a great season. But you know, but

679
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: the thing about it was is that that's why we're

680
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: in this because next year we're gonna be back. And

681
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: that's what's so beautiful about sports, and especially football, is that,

682
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: you know what these people that said I'm done, I

683
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: am done. You're done because it's Monday, and you're done

684
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: because it's Tuesday and you don't have to do anything.

685
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: Maybe you're not gonna read our stories or The Break

686
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: or the Talking Cowboys, but on Sunday, you're gonna wear

687
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: your old Troy eightman jersey again, and you're gonna put

688
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: on the same slippers you always wear, and you're gonna

689
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: sit in the same spot in your couch and you're

690
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: gonna watch the game because that's what your dad did

691
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: and that's what you do. Like I said in a

692
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: Thousand Times, you don't choose to be a Cowboys fan.

693
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: It chooses you. So you'll be back Sunday against the

694
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Rams pissed off. So you'll be there, and that's the point.

695
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: You're gonna be pissed, But the point is you're still

696
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: You can't if you're a real fan, and a fan

697
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: of football and a fan of your team, You're still

698
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: gonna be watching. It's wow. I watch Texas football, even

699
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: though I'm frustrated with it. I completely agree we are

700
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: all that sick type of breed and the people that

701
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: listen to this type of show are too. But I

702
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: will say, and Jerry Jones said this this morning on

703
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: his radio adeo. He was like, you know, I get

704
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: like people are pissed off, and I get that and

705
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: I understand it. And I don't remember the direct quote,

706
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: but he was like, it's apathy that concerns me as

707
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: the owner and general manager. I think that could be

708
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: a problem if somehow this gets run back. Like what

709
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: do you mean run back? I mean like people are

710
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: out on Jason Garrett right, the vast, vast, vast majority

711
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: of Cowboys fans. But I think the great news for

712
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: them is the way this thing has gone. It really

713
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: in my opinion, And again I don't know. Jerry still

714
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 1: gets the final say obviously, but I have a hard

715
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: time believing that this thing turned out any way other

716
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: than one of two. Either he goes all the way

717
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: and Jerry's like, we'll see, I told you. We just

718
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: got ahead to give it time, or it doesn't and

719
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: he's gone and they start over. And I think that's

720
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: the disconnect. I think we would all agree we're on

721
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: the same page with that, and we're on the inside.

722
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: This is our job, so we approach it a little

723
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: more even keeled than a fan would, and we're like, look,

724
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 1: whether it's today or in three weeks or after their

725
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: playoff game, the Jason Garrett era seems like it's over

726
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: and it is what it is. And I think a

727
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: lot of fans are like, I'll believe it when I

728
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: see it. They see that graphical and check right and yeah,

729
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: and they're just like they're like, tell me, I'm not

730
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: gonna be sitting down and it's gonna be Cowboys Giants

731
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: at three thirty on September tenth next year, and Jason

732
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: Garrett's gonna be the head coach. And I think a

733
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: lot of them believe that. And that's I mean, you

734
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: bring back app He's gonna be the head coach. Just

735
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: not well, oh my god, if if that were so,

736
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: it would be Sunday Night football, right, it would have

737
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: to be Garrett comes back to Yeah. But I think

738
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,959
Speaker 1: there and I think that's we're sitting there like, look,

739
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: just let this thing play out. It'll be fine. And

740
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys fans are like, I don't think I believe seeing

741
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: it before. Yeah, And that's and that's where I wonder, like,

742
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: how many times can you do this before? Or even

743
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: the most died and the wool Cowboys fan is like, enough, okay,

744
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: but when are you guys or other people are gonna

745
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: gonna kind of come with me on this and say,

746
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who your coaches, these players are not

747
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 1: as good as we think they are. Tellent is not

748
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: as great, and that's the that's what the media does

749
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 1: and we're a part of it too. But how many

750
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: times do you see Cowboys are gonna do this? Cowboys

751
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: are great, this team is the number one team in

752
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: college football. All of a sudden they barely make a

753
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: bowl and they're like, well, the coach sucked, the players sucked.

754
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: You know what, Media, maybe you suck, maybe we suck

755
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: thinking that the Cowboys were going to be better. Here's

756
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: the question, though, because I think it's two different things.

757
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: Is it is it that they aren't talented or arnist

758
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: talented as we thought, or is it that they're not

759
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: playing up to potential because I think those are two

760
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: different things, and I think in this instance, I think

761
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: I go more to the point of I think they're

762
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: not playing up to their potential because there are guys

763
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: that I know are really good players on this team

764
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: that have not played like really good players all season.

765
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: We talked about the offensive line, give me they're a

766
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: numb guy, Tyring, Okay, zach Ts Travis like go down

767
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: the line, like there are a number. DeMarcus Lawrence. I

768
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: think DeMarcus Lawrence is a phenomenal player. I don't think

769
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: he's played like that this year. I mean, I don't

770
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: think he's been as bad as some people think, but

771
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: I don't think he's played up to where he played

772
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: last year. This is absolutely the two thousand and eight

773
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: season all over again, because that seat team was coming

774
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: off a really good team for the year before everything

775
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: was ready for him. They went three and oh to

776
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: start the season, and then the bottom dropped out and

777
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: they've had some terrible, embarrassing losses there and in the

778
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: season and in the offseason before that, they signed about

779
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: three guys that they signed to big long term deals

780
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: basically off of what they have done and not what

781
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: they were going to do. One of them was Terence Newman.

782
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: One of them was Marion Barber who was pretty much done.

783
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: Maybe Colombo or did they sign when did they resign?

784
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: That wouldn't have been there was a there was another

785
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: guy that they put a lot of money into and

786
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 1: it hasn't really worked out. And that wasn't Hamlin. Wasn't

787
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: was Hamlin, wouldn't you say? I mean which I wasn't here.

788
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 1: I was in college, which means, Danny, you were probably

789
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: in high school? Yeah, middle school? Oh god, piece lord,

790
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: But I'm just okay. They went thirteen and three the

791
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: year before that whole bunch of crap happened, they missed

792
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and the next year they went eleven and five. Yeah,

793
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: so I'm led to believe that must have been a

794
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: pretty talented group of players to push playoff runs and

795
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: barely missed the playoffs in the middle of that. Oh,

796
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: they kept the same coach, So how could they have

797
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: been so talented last year when this is a majority

798
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: of the same team. Then this it's just fall That's

799
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: why I think. I think that's the point, Like, that's

800
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. If you look at the NFL, it happens

801
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 1: like that. Think about the Atlanta Falcons. Two years ago,

802
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: they were twenty eight to three and a half time

803
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: of a Super Bowl in the lead, and now they

804
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: are one of the worst teams in the NFL. And

805
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: a lot of the same players that were the best

806
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: of what they had back then are still on that

807
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: team and still playing for them. As a matter of fact,

808
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: they've added talent. I mean, that's the NFL. That's how

809
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: the NFL worked. What are you saying. Do you think

810
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: that these fifty to sixty year old coaches that have

811
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: been doing it their whole life just now Aaron is good?

812
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: I think I think it's both. I think sometimes players

813
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: just don't play as well as they should. Yeah, And

814
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: I think sometimes they aren't put in the right position

815
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: because coaches, Because here's the thing, if you're really that good,

816
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: that means that next offseason, everybody that you're going to

817
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: face the next season is spending a little extra time

818
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: getting ready for you to make sure they have answers

819
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: to play, especially in your division. I think I think

820
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: this team's getting their ass kicked on Wednesday and Thursday.

821
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: That's what we've said it several times over the you know,

822
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: the years, And I think we're starting to see it

823
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: more and more now that they're not as prepared to

824
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: go and win games. And that is on coaching. There's

825
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: no doubt that that's a coaching. It's on players too too.

826
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean that used to that was what we said

827
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: was Jason Garrett's strength. Yeah, and yeah, I mean it

828
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: doesn't It doesn't seem like it this year, right, and

829
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: getting your ass kicked to something he hasn't really happened

830
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: a lot with him, but it did last night. Like

831
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: the score aside, whatever, they got beat and they got

832
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: beat by a pretty average to bad team. And that's

833
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: now the two weeks in a row. Yeah, because the

834
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: same thing happened to him on Thanksgiving Day, they got

835
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: the I mean, the Bills are probably gonna be in

836
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: the playoffs, the Bears are not. I get it. My

837
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: point though, is like you're not used to seeing Jason

838
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: Garrett teams get dominated like that. You're used to sing

839
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: them even if they lose. You used to sing them,

840
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: put put forth the effort to be in the game

841
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: at any point in the fourth quarter, like they're in

842
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 1: the game. That's what me and me and say Taylor

843
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: Stern had a little back and forth on Twitter last

844
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: night where I was like, this is one of the

845
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: worst three game stretches of football of the Jason Garrett era,

846
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: and Taylor was like, well, what about twenty fifteen? I

847
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: was like, twenty fifteen didn't have a quarterback and they

848
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 1: went down to the wire. Week after week. They were

849
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: fighting their asses off, they were losing an overtime, castle,

850
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: they were getting beat on the last play of the

851
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: game by the Bucks, like they weren't they weren't good,

852
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: but they were not getting blown out ever, Like nobody

853
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: just kicked their ass. Ye, and and this team has

854
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: gotten its ass kicked a few times. You're going to

855
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: pick the Cowboys to win another game? Yeah? No, I

856
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: want like I mean, I'm gonna pull a Nick Eatman,

857
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: Like They're gonna lose to the Rams on Sunday, then

858
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna turn around and win two straight an FC

859
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: East games and make the playoffs. That's who they are.

860
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: What we know of them is they beat teams that

861
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: are worse the NFCAST teams. That's that's what they beat

862
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: up on this season. They're gonna finish this season six

863
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: and zero against the NFC East and then two and

864
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: two and eight against everybody else, and they're two wins

865
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: would be against Miami and Detroit, who are not good,

866
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: and both of them beat the Eagles. True, Wow, yeah

867
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 1: they did. Which I mean that just this I kind

868
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 1: of u the Ringer, the sport, you know, the National website,

869
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 1: they did an article last week where they like ranked

870
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: the worst divisions of the realignment era, and they were like, oh,

871
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: the nineteen NFC East isn't like, it's not the worst,

872
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: but it's up there. And I kind of took issue

873
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: with that. This was before the Dolphins game, the Miami

874
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles Dolphins game, and since then and since the

875
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: Bears game, I was thinking about it. I was like, no, yeah,

876
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: like this this could be one of the worst two

877
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: or three divisions in you know, in the history of

878
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: sense realignment. I sure, is it possible? I think it is.

879
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: It's possible for the win of this division to be

880
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: seven and nine, right absolutely, I mean that just speaks

881
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: volumes with three games left, the possibility, and I wouldn't

882
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: think it's a far fetched possibility that the win of

883
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: this division is seven and nine. Definitely a great possibility.

884
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: They could be eight and eight, which, to go back

885
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: to my point, I think like that. I think is

886
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: what has Cowboys fans mad today is they're like, I'll

887
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: be damned if this team isn't going to go eight

888
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: and eight and maybe even mess around and win a

889
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: home playoff game, and then what do you do with

890
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: this coach that they don't like? And I think that

891
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: is probably keeping a lot of fans awake at night. See,

892
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: but I think that that's going to be even more

893
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: validation that something else has to happen, because that means

894
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: that and Jerry talked about this morning in his call.

895
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: He was like, you know, if you've seen something happen before,

896
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: then you know there's a possibility it can happen again.

897
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,959
Speaker 1: I think Jerry belize heartily this team's talented, which leaves

898
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: you with, Okay, if you're just not getting the most

899
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: out of your talent, at some point, you gotta do

900
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: something to get the most out of your talent. I

901
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: know we're running out of time, but I wanted to

902
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: say that too. Is I agree with Nick to a degree, Like,

903
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, thinking back to training camp, Nick, Xavier Woods

904
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: didn't make the jump that I think we thought he would.

905
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: Cheeta A Woozier is another one fantastic didn't translate like

906
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: media definitely takes some accountability in that. I still, even

907
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: after all of this, contend that the core of this

908
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: team is very talented. I think the quarterback is good.

909
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: I think the running back is great. I think Amari

910
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: Cooper's phenomenal. I don't. I mean, he struggled in the

911
