We'll talk about all 23 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: of it this morning on the show. We'll start where 24 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: we start every week following the game, every Monday. Following 25 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: game today obviously being Tuesday, though with what we think 26 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: was the story of this game. Tommy, you're joining us 27 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: today again, give us your what would you say is 28 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: the story of this game? 29 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 7: Well, the story is you're in a position to win 30 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 7: the game and a costly special teams there ends up 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 7: losing you this game. Manto or Larier goes after a punt. 32 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 7: That's a poison situation, which means you just let the 33 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 7: ball go. You don't touch it, because once the ball 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 7: crosses the line of scrimmage, if you make contact with 35 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 7: it and the other team recovers, it's essentially you know, 36 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 7: looks like they were covering a fumble. So that's really 37 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 7: just a gut punch in terms of a way to lose, 38 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 7: because if the Cowboys just let that ball get down, 39 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 7: they're they're already either in or nearing Bretton Aubrey's field 40 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 7: goal range. With what I think it was less than 41 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 7: two minutes to play in that ball game, So you've 42 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 7: got you've got an opportunity with the way that Rico 43 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 7: Dowdle was running, averaging seven point two yards of carry, 44 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 7: to go down the field, run the clock out, kick 45 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 7: a game winning field goal, and you know, you keep 46 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 7: your playoff hopes alive, but it is still still technically 47 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 7: mathematically or alive, but just a really tough way. I think, yeah, 48 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 7: they're alive mathematically, but the math isn't great. 49 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: I think I think is one point chance of making 50 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah. 51 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 7: So yeah, that that that to me, was was the 52 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 7: story that that play because it just changed so much 53 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 7: and it changed the whole outlook at the game. And 54 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 7: then of course Cincinnati with an offense like that, you 55 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 7: give Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase an opportunity down the stretch, 56 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 7: are gonna make you pay. And Jamar Chase did a 57 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 7: forty yard touchdown to is it yep? 58 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: Right man? 59 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 4: This game was filled with a lot of empty offensive 60 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 4: possessions for the Cowboys. Yeah, and you know, we I 61 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 4: don't know if this defense could play any better against 62 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 4: that cat, you know. And I say that cat with 63 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 4: admiration because he's one of my cats, you know, him 64 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 4: and that cat catching the ball both are my cats. 65 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 4: Go Tigers. 66 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 8: And we knew this. We knew this going in. 67 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 4: We knew going in and it was going to be 68 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 4: very difficult to defend, even with the secondary being back 69 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 4: good that Diggs was playing, you know, that's a handful. 70 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 4: That dude is a handful. This offensive line, they had 71 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 4: problems blocking up front at times. You know. 72 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 8: I felt like though that. 73 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 4: The empty possessions offensively when you were able to get stops. 74 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: And I want to I want to talk about one 75 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 4: specific time you had the football in the fourth quarter 76 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 4: with five point thirty one to go. You get that 77 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 4: ball and you're thinking, I Am not giving this ball back. 78 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 8: No, I'm not, I'm not. And what does he do? 79 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 8: He hands the ball to Daddle for fourteen. 80 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 4: Now you're thinking, all right, we got them on their heels, 81 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 4: not going to give the ball back to Joe Burrow. 82 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 4: From that point on, rushing complete to Ferguson rush incomplete, 83 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 4: to Cooks rush incomplete to turpend Anger forty eight yard putton. 84 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 4: That right there is when I said, I said, you 85 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,119 Speaker 4: just you just did coaching malpractice. 86 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 8: As a play caller. 87 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 4: You knew what was on the other side of that 88 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 4: field over there, you know, and you had a chance 89 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 4: to just take their will and you didn't do it. 90 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 4: And your field goal kicker can make him in the 91 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 4: middle of that star if he has to, but you 92 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 4: got to get time off that clock and run that 93 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 4: thing down to where they use all their timeouts and 94 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 4: you kick that thing and go home. 95 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 8: Coaching malpractice last night? Offensively yep, a G. 96 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 5: What was your question? 97 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 9: Get My story is like, who the heck has a 98 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 9: curse on this team? Like what the if we can? 99 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 9: My biggest thing is the Marvio overshon and the injury 100 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 9: that occurred and the significance. I know we're gonna find 101 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 9: out more information about it later on, but it's just 102 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 9: so devastating to see an injury like that happened to 103 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 9: someone like him after we've seen what he's been capable 104 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 9: of overcoming and everything he was being able to accomplish 105 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 9: this season. So very very sad getting so close to 106 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 9: the end of the season. But one of those things 107 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 9: like you see a few good things but then it 108 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 9: can never be really good. You talk about the offense, 109 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 9: they started off for the first time and like all 110 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 9: season long with them actually scoring in their first touchdowns, 111 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 9: So that was impressed. If you're like, Okay, this is 112 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 9: how you needed to start a game like this, and 113 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 9: they're keeping up, keeping up, but it's never really enough. 114 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 9: You see a guy like Ceed Lamb have some really 115 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 9: good plays and then all of a sudden you're not 116 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 9: targeting him anymore. You see him in certain plays open 117 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 9: you can't get the ball to him. And when you 118 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 9: have a guy that's getting like having a hot day, 119 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,799 Speaker 9: you want to take advantage of that. Same with Rico 120 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 9: dal I thought he had a great game, had some 121 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 9: really good runs. All of a sudden he kind of 122 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 9: disappears for a while there, and then they come back 123 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 9: in the second half. Beginning of the second half, use 124 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 9: him again. He had a really positive run, but then 125 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 9: those plays that you just talked about, Brian, You're just 126 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 9: scratching your head, and I've been scratching my head all 127 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 9: season long with some of the play calling and certain situations. 128 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 9: I just feel like this is a game that you 129 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 9: definitely could have won despite Joe Burrow being Burrow. You 130 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 9: had all the tools you needed to manage that game 131 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 9: and walk out with the win. And take it into 132 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 9: consideration that special teams play, Like even taking that out, 133 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 9: you still have chances you too getting a better position, 134 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 9: and you just couldn't. You just couldn't come out of 135 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 9: that alive in that game. But saw a lot of 136 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 9: different positive things and then some really bad things as well. 137 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's to be honest, with you, and I know 138 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: this is probably not going to be what most people 139 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: would believe, but I believe it when you look at 140 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: that last series, Brian, the series where they have five 141 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: point thirty one left in the game. In my opinion, 142 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: that was every bit as as damning for the Cowboys 143 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: as Orris play, because I look at that play. I 144 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: look at that play and I say, Okay, yeah, he 145 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: made a bonehead decision. But the reality is you had 146 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: the ball with five point thirty one left in the game. 147 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: Your first play, you go for fourteen on the ground 148 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: and by the way, all day, every time you run 149 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: the ball, you're getting you're getting good yards. That was 150 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: the best rushing game for the Cowboys bar none this season. 151 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: That defense could not stop their rushing attack. And what 152 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: you did over the next three plays was past pass, 153 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: pass and incompletions and then you're in that situation that 154 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: to me especially, this is the part that really just 155 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: rubs me some kind of way, especially after we heard 156 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: the coach talk year or two ago about the fact 157 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: that we're gonna run the ball. He was very emphatic 158 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: that was something that with him calling the plays, he 159 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: wanted to run the ball. That was going to be 160 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: an emphasis for him. You were now in the position 161 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: where everything lined up to run the ball, and you 162 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: fell in love with your past game when your past 163 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: game ain't worth falling in. 164 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 8: Love with with a backup quarterback, he even he that. 165 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: Just that baffled me. And I think if at just 166 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: as much as everybody wants to talk about or Warrior 167 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: to day, Yeah, I think the conversation has to go 168 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: on Mike McCarthy and those decisions to decide to throw 169 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: the ball in those situations. I feel the situation. 170 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that you brought that up. I mean, 171 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 4: I like everybody's with their their thoughts here and stuff 172 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,119 Speaker 4: like that. I mean, I said the word empty possessions. 173 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 4: Look at the possessions, the last two possessions right before half. 174 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 4: You know, you get opportunities. I mean it is like 175 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 4: you get stops, you actually stop the Bengals or you 176 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 4: make them kick a field gold and you go out 177 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 4: there and you just go three and out three negative one, 178 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,599 Speaker 4: negative five. You know, you're just these these series and 179 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 4: you're just kind of going, how hell. I mean, in 180 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 4: this defense, everybody has been moving the ball on the 181 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 4: Cincinnati Bengals. 182 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 8: Everybody, everybody they play, the. 183 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 4: Ball gets moved on them, and you couldn't figure out 184 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 4: how to And that's what bothers me the most is 185 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 4: And Derek, you're right. You know this coach stands up 186 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 4: there and preaches, oh, we we're about running the football. Well, 187 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 4: it took you until December to figure out to hand 188 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 4: Rico battle Rico down to the ball seventy percent of 189 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 4: the time. 190 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 8: It took you that long. Now, I don't know. 191 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 4: I don't know if somebody in the front office is saying, 192 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 4: got to give it to Zeke. That's not I don't 193 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 4: work in this building anymore, you know. But but maybe 194 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 4: maybe Mike was forced to play Zeke and they were 195 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 4: trying to find that balance. I don't know that, but 196 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 4: you know, you it took you this long to figure 197 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 4: out about how to use him and the toughness to 198 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 4: these shows and then you don't go to him. You 199 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 4: go to him one time and he gives you that 200 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 4: that yardage You're time. He gave it to you the 201 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 4: whole game. This should have been a flirting with the 202 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 4: Marco Murray team record for rushing. That's what this game 203 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 4: should have been. 204 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: That's what seven carries. 205 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 4: I told you we told you the metrics in this 206 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 4: thing is when Cincinnati faces thirty rushing attempts against them, 207 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 4: they lose one time they've won, they beat the Giants. 208 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 8: Every other time they've lost the game. And get I 209 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 8: can't I can't. 210 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 4: Tip my cap enough to what defense did yesterday, Chase. 211 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 4: It's hard. That's a hard thing to deal with. But 212 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 4: you know what, that team did not light you up 213 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 4: on the scoreboard like we all thought they might. Or 214 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 4: they've every let everybody else up. So that's that's the unfortunate. 215 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 9: Thing is confusing to me too. It's like, what about 216 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 9: the analytics that you have talked about so much. Shouldn't 217 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 9: the analytics tell you what's working and what's not. 218 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 8: And this is. 219 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 9: Something that he I mean, he has put a lot 220 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 9: of emphasis in the past that he values a lot 221 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 9: and looks into a lot. So it's just very confusing 222 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 9: when you don't see things go the way you think 223 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 9: it should go. 224 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think to be where I want to give 225 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 4: him some credit for something. The fourth and two call. 226 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 4: He you know, we were talking about it on our 227 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 4: pregame show. Is like listen, and I asked Brad Sham 228 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 4: this question, do you almost have to think differently when 229 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: you're playing against Joe Burrow and Chase Do you almost 230 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 4: thinking they're gonna put up a ton of points. And 231 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 4: so the fact that he went forward on fourth and 232 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 4: too and threw a corner route and it worked. 233 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 8: I'm like, gutsy, gutsy call right there. 234 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 4: He could have very easily tried it out, and I'm thinking, Okay, 235 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,239 Speaker 4: he's going to play this game a different way today, 236 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 4: but he loses his way along the path. For a 237 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 4: veteran coach and always always complain about this, know the 238 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 4: condition of your team, No, know where they're at. No, 239 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 4: you know, know where they're at physically, know where they're at, emotionally, 240 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 4: know where they're at. You know, maybe if you're walking 241 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 4: around as a head coach, you kind of sense that 242 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 4: as a play caller, maybe you lose track of where 243 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 4: you know. Maybe if we're talking about if Fossils clicking 244 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 4: over and saying, hey, we're gonna try and block this punt, 245 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 4: click over, No, you're not set the return up, you know, 246 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 4: and then maybe you don't get the situation that you have. 247 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 8: You know, there's. 248 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 4: Things that happen along in the game that maybe you 249 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 4: need to be more on top of you know, as 250 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 4: far as the play calling, it, being the coach and 251 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 4: managing the game and all that. 252 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 8: Some of these guys are very good at it. Some 253 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 8: of them aren't. I don't know. 254 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 4: I think last night you lost your game last night 255 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 4: because your guy lost his way. 256 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 7: Two things that got me in this game. Number One, 257 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 7: if that punt disaster doesn't happen, the Cowboys likely hold 258 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 7: the Bengals to twenty points. That would be their fourth 259 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 7: lowest output of the season. Yep. The second thing is 260 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 7: after the game, Mike McCarthy said that he wished he 261 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 7: would have gotten Rico more carries. That is not the 262 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 7: first time this season that he has said that in 263 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 7: retrospect after a loss. I just can't understand if that's 264 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 7: your sentiment and you see him running for seven point 265 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 7: three yards of carry his career high. Has got a 266 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 7: career high in rushing today. I can't see why you 267 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 7: mentioned the long runs. It seemed like after every run 268 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 7: that he broke out, he was off the next play 269 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 7: you bring in Zeke or you throw the three straight passes. 270 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 7: I understand if you need a breather, But at the 271 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 7: same time, this offensive line in the last two weeks 272 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 7: has gotten their best run push that they've gotten all season, 273 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 7: and the exactly and the game. What we discussed last 274 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 7: week was Dallas's avenue for winning this game was playing 275 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 7: keep away by running the ball and draining the clock. 276 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 7: They did that until the fourth quarter, and you just wonder. 277 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: Why and they did it successfully exactly. Not only that, 278 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: but you go back and look at at what Brian mentioned, 279 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: those those two possessions before the half, same things. I 280 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: think it was six plays and on five of the 281 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: six they're throwing the ball. It's like what it just 282 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: it is so baffling that that they didn't stick with 283 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: what was working. It's almost like they finds something that 284 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: they really like that's working, and then they're like, oh, 285 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: we'll just hold that for a minute. We'll just well, 286 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: we'll come back to that when we want to come 287 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: back to it. Rather than saying, well, we're gonna keep 288 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: hitting you with this until you stop it, until you 289 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: figure it out. We're gonna keep making you figure it out, 290 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: and they just they just they stop themselves from doing it. 291 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, we're gonna take our first break. We're 292 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: gonna come back and I will dive a little deeper. 293 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: I do want to talk to some about the offense. 294 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: We'll talk about Cooper Rush and certainly talk about Rico 295 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: Donald and his day.

How did you assess this playoverall? 363 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 8: You first? 364 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 6: Or me? 365 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 8: I go ahead? Guest is always welcome here. 366 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 4: Thank you? 367 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 7: Well, I mean I think you got just got to 368 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 7: remember that he as a backup quarterback. 369 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 8: Okay, that's never good. 370 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: A right way, that's not a great start, but keep going. 371 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 7: I mean here, there were some throws there. I mean, 372 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 7: like like Brian mentioned in the last segment. You know, 373 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 7: the fourth and two throw the CD was a good one, beautiful. 374 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 7: You know, the touchdown to Cooks was a good one. 375 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 7: But there are just some plays where you know, he 376 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 7: either rushes himself out of a clean pocket, or his 377 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 7: accuracy is just off, or you watched his decision of 378 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 7: where to throw the ball and you're thinking, what's the 379 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 7: thought process there? You know the interception, I don't know 380 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 7: how much I put that on him. It looked like 381 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 7: there was contact on CD on that crossing route. And 382 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 7: I don't know, I don't know the ruling on that. 383 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 7: And if they're if they're they. 384 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 8: Tried to pick. Yeah, they're gonna throw the wheel. I 385 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 8: don't know why, Cooper. 386 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,959 Speaker 4: Anyway, they're gonna get a penalty on the play because Schoonmaker. 387 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 4: Schoonmaker was lined up wrong. They were all covering each 388 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 4: other over on that right side. So anyway, they're gonna 389 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 4: try and run the wheel. So they're gonna run CD inside. 390 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 4: They're gonna wheel. They're gonna wheel Ferguson And I don't know. 391 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 8: The ball didn't go over the top. See, he doesn't 392 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 8: look like he's even ready. 393 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 4: He looks like he's trying to run the route and 394 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 4: not interfere, you know, or get called for a pick. 395 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 4: And they're gonna run. And I'm thinking, well, that's set 396 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 4: up to run the wheel. But he throws the he 397 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 4: throws the ball inside. 398 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 8: You know. 399 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 4: See this is this is the thing that I had 400 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 4: with Cooper Rush. The ball doesn't go down the field 401 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 4: with him. Now they max protect they How many times 402 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 4: have we seen when Cooks, When Cooks lines up on 403 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 4: the right and he runs that arrow straight across the field, 404 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 4: you know, and he and he just goes through, he. 405 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 8: Goes through all that trash and all that. 406 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 4: And he's you know, and then he's and then he's 407 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 4: down there and they just launch him the ball and 408 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 4: he's open on the other side of the field. We've 409 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 4: seen Da kind of slightly rollers right and launch that 410 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 4: thing going left. They have eight blockers. They set it 411 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 4: up and Rush doesn't even give it a look. Now 412 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 4: he throws the ball underneath to daddle for ten yards, 413 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 4: but they call a play where they go eight man 414 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 4: protection to launch that thing. Now, Adoka is having a 415 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 4: little problem. Mean, he's on the back side, but he 416 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 4: but still Rush can He never even gave the play 417 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 4: a chance. And you watch the safeties hips are turned 418 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 4: inside as as Cooks is running across. He's got no chance. 419 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 4: If you throw that ball out there, it's a touchdown. 420 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 4: But no, he throws a check down. The interception spooked him. 421 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 4: He was playing pretty well up until the interception. Then 422 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, it was kind of like you're 423 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 4: getting sacked, you're getting pressured, You're not accurate, you know, 424 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 4: you're it's it's you're right. He's a backup quarterback, but 425 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 4: he's a veteran backup quarterback. 426 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 7: He's got a bad backup quarterback either. 427 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 4: But that but that's that's the thing about him, is 428 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 4: his his unwillingness to make a play down the field 429 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 4: kills his offense. They don't get any explosives because explosives 430 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 4: come from throwing a screen to CD and he's all 431 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 4: of a sudden, like he's got his Oklahoma uniform on 432 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 4: and he's WO and he's. 433 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 8: Going in and CD CD. You know here, Gus Johnson 434 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 8: CD touchdown Oklahoma. 435 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 7: That's PTSD. 436 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. 437 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 4: But see that's that's kind of where that's you know, 438 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 4: that's how he that's how they play. They will not 439 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 4: make an explosive unless with with this guy playing quarterback, 440 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 4: unless it's a catch and run. 441 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 7: Afterwards, and when they do try to make an explosive play, 442 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 7: the one play that stick out to me when he 443 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 7: does try to push the ball downfield, it's the Cavante 444 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 7: Turpin down the sideline. Yeah, one on one with no separation, 445 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 7: the smallest player on the field. I have no issue 446 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 7: with Cavante Turpin getting the ball, but is he your 447 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 7: downfield fifty to fifty ball receiver on the hash I 448 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 7: don't know. Outside, No, I. 449 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 4: Don't even know if you could trust Turp, it's to 450 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 4: meet Tolbert to play. Yeah, Tolbert had. 451 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 15: A couple it seems like it's gotten like he's regressed 452 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 15: the little it's like really so fearful of like you know, 453 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 15: like they run that waggle and he comes across and 454 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 15: it's like rush kind of threw in the spot and. 455 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 8: Needs to be caught, not just. 456 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 4: Leaving our feet and diving and kind of making it 457 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 4: look like, Okay, I know I'm gonna get whacked here. 458 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 8: And go get that football that your quarterback needs. That 459 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 8: play you get two targets and no catches. 460 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 7: I can't. 461 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 9: You can't not see from our point of view, everything 462 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 9: looks easy, right. I would assume it's a lot harder 463 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 9: for them who are on the. 464 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 4: Field against that defense is yeah, but. 465 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 8: Most teams make it look easy, yeah. 466 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 9: Or have the problem is like, Okay, yes, he's a 467 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 9: backup quarterback and there's a reason for that. But at 468 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,959 Speaker 9: the same time, you're in the NFL, You're like, there 469 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 9: are certain plays that you're like, man, you should be 470 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 9: able to make that. There's no justification to why you should, 471 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 9: and especially when you see things opening up for you, 472 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 9: and also this is not your first game playing like 473 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 9: even this season, you're if this was the game after 474 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 9: dad got hurt, I could be more understanding. But it's 475 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 9: been a couple of weeks now where you would expect 476 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 9: him to have a better connection or a better view 477 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 9: of the field and see where guys are opening themselves 478 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 9: up and look around the field, and like, that's why 479 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 9: a quarterback is supposed to have awareness. Feel the awareness, 480 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 9: And I feel bad even for Mingo. This is just 481 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 9: week after week where he positions himself in the right 482 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 9: spot and then Cooper Rush just can't get. 483 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: It a good pass. I don't think he's been here. 484 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: I don't think he had a. 485 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 8: Mississippi when he was in college. 486 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he's like I don't like l I go 487 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: back to college and make more money there anyway, you know. 488 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,959 Speaker 9: But it's just unfortunate. It's just it's just more frustrat 489 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 9: and when you know you had so many different chances, 490 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 9: and because of maybe the mental aspect of things after 491 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 9: that interception, potentially, yeah, throws you off. But even you 492 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 9: talk about the offensive line, despite all the struggles, I 493 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 9: think they give you a chance. They've given you a 494 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 9: chance in creating some decent protection for you, and even 495 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 9: then you just can't take advantage of. 496 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 4: Okay, there was a time where I don't know, and 497 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 4: I don't know much, but remember the blitz, the safety 498 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 4: blitz that they ran that got home and Rush just 499 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 4: threw it out there, and it was between Tolbert and Lamb. 500 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 4: It really went to nowhere. 501 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 8: They ran a. 502 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 4: Safety blitz and it looked like to me that Smith 503 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 4: because Hunter Lipke is blocking to his right and they've 504 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 4: got nobody to account for the blitzer. But it's like 505 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 4: CD and Cooks both see the blitzer, but there was 506 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 4: no side adjust and Rush just threw it out there 507 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 4: and hoping that he was lucky you wouldn't picked off. 508 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 4: I mean Tolbert was wide enough. 509 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: Was that the one where he spun out? And then 510 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: no he no, no, no, it's. 511 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 4: Just a straight blitz up the gut of stone came 512 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 4: just up the middle and Smith. 513 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: And then he just kind of jack chucked it out there. 514 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 8: To the left. 515 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 4: And so you're sitting there thinking like Lamb and Cooks 516 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 4: are looking inside and they see the blitzer and usually 517 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 4: when you see blitzer, you'll adjust the route. And maybe 518 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 4: it was to run the out and all See this 519 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 4: is why I don't understand did CD and them not 520 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 4: see the blitz? What was Smith thinking? And Hunter Lifkey 521 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 4: was blocking his guy so they had nobody to account 522 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 4: for that guy. They could have accounted that guy was 523 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 4: with Smith just sliding over and picking him up and 524 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 4: just staying and then the you know, then you get 525 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 4: the throw out. But see, that's the kind of stuff 526 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,479 Speaker 4: that you know, sometimes defenses win, and that just but 527 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 4: that makes me feel like, though was their adjustment. Was 528 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 4: there a play you know, we've seen it from DAK 529 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 4: for when teams of blitz, DAK has made them pay 530 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 4: for that blitzing, you know, and it just didn't seem 531 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 4: like the ELS was able. 532 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 3: To do that. 533 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: And you know, to that point, one of the things 534 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: that I saw multiple times yesterday and a couple of 535 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: plays that really stood out to me. But I think 536 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: when when they put Rush into a situation where he 537 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: has to move, when he's on the move, his accuracy, 538 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: his vision I think just isn't as good. Yesterday, there 539 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: was one play where he's rolling out to his left. 540 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: I think it was he had Ferguson and he had Schoonmaker. 541 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: Schoonmaker was a little deeper. Both of them were open. 542 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: He opted to throw the more shallow route to Ferguson 543 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: and completely missed him, like threw it wide to him, 544 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: and it was just he was on the movie. He 545 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: just that that should have been a play he should 546 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: easily be able to make. Similar thing happened on the 547 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: Blitz I was talking about earlier, where he actually spins 548 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: out of the out of the the guy that was 549 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: that was coming in the defender. He gets out, gets 550 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: away and then just kind of throws the ball and 551 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: it's like, what were you seeing at that point? I 552 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: almost think like when he spun, I think he lost 553 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: his orientation and didn't really know where he's strong because 554 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: where he threw it is like there's really not anybody 555 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 1: there that that's in a position to catch the ball. 556 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I just think when he gets 557 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: in those situations sometimes he may rush himself a little 558 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,479 Speaker 1: bit too much. His vision, his accuracy I think suffer, 559 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: and in today's NFL, especially with this offensive line that 560 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: as far as a pass blocking unit hasn't been great 561 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: and have some moments. If you can't move and still 562 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: be able to maintain your vision and your accuracy, you're 563 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: gonna have a problem, and I think that's part of 564 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: what's going on right now with him. 565 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 7: You just got to set your feet. If you're in 566 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 7: a position to just set your feet. Yep, this is 567 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 7: not a guy where like Dak who can you know, 568 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 7: throw in the air and across his body and all 569 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 7: those cool things. Cooper rush, just that's not his game. 570 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: Take those plays, all right, We're gonna take our final break. 571 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: We will come back.

Tyler Guidon 636 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: didn't play. That was a healthy, healthy scrab surprising there. 637 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: He was active but did not play. Cooper Bebee got hurt. 638 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 8: What was his surprise? 639 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 4: I was, Yeah, No, I was thinking it was a 640 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 4: surprise because I felt like that they were going to, 641 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 4: you know that, just keep giving him reps. But but 642 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 4: I understand maybe they, you know, they feel a doga 643 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 4: and a doga wasn't terrible in your game yesterday. 644 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: Well, that was actually where I was going to go. 645 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: If you as you assessed his play, how well did 646 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: a doga do? 647 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 8: Yeah? 648 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 4: I think to me that you know, Hendrickson is a 649 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 4: Hendrickson is no fun and. 650 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: He had one sack at the end. 651 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, he was. He was. He's difficult to deal with. 652 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,959 Speaker 4: I think The best thing about it was for the 653 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 4: Cowboys that they knew where he was going to be 654 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 4: the whole game, which was kind of cool. But a 655 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 4: doga was you know, fine, a doga run block. And 656 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 4: there was a couple of times I'll tell you what, 657 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 4: Terrence Steele was playing a lot better, you know, and 658 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 4: I think having keep saying this, but having a healthy 659 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 4: guy next to him with the double team stuff and 660 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 4: and you know their ability, but his that they ran 661 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 4: a couple of outside plays, the the Wildcat with turpin, 662 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 4: when they snapped in the ball boy, they really secured 663 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 4: the age really one a lot of it. 664 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: The one that that scheme go made the block. 665 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 8: Exactly they had well they had they had all their. 666 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 4: Linemen were the ones that really got it done because 667 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 4: because he actually uh Dowdell got a block and then 668 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 4: you had scoon maker and then steal to that side 669 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 4: that they got everything kind of pinned down in there. 670 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 4: But still had done that a couple of different times 671 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 4: when they ran the ball that he was able to 672 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 4: capture the edge or you know, combo block and they 673 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 4: they they did a really good job of allowing Dabdell 674 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 4: to at least find some space. You know, it wasn't 675 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 4: like you when he when he wasn't getting touched until 676 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 4: he was through, you know, through the line of scrimmage. 677 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 4: So that was that was positive from that side of it. 678 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 7: So that was I believe the tenth different offensive line 679 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 7: the Dallas has had this season to be. 680 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: Tenth and eleventh once they lost their center as well, 681 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: I think it was ten start. 682 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 7: It was tenth for the center because a Doga came 683 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 7: in at left tackle last game and Hoffman was at 684 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 7: right guard, so that would give you nine. U nine 685 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 7: was tied for seventh. I'm not sure where ten would 686 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 7: rank in the NFL. But as far as Jimmy Dooga 687 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 7: goes to hold off Trey Hendrickson until that one sack 688 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 7: in the fourth quarter, I think is positive. Yeah, you know, 689 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 7: he wasn't perfect. I mean, Trey Hendrickson had seven sacks 690 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 7: on thirty one of his pass rushes, and you know 691 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 7: four of them came gets Ray and a half seconds. 692 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 4: The Raiders got it, and but he killed the Raiders 693 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 4: one day. 694 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, so you know it's it's not a complete victory, 695 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 7: but you took him out of the game until the end, 696 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 7: and you take that. I think this has impressed me 697 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 7: the most of this offensive line is that they are 698 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 7: run blocking so much better because you looked at them 699 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 7: earlier in the season and it was kind of a 700 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 7: given that just doubt Dallas isn't gonna around the ball 701 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 7: today like Rico Dalla was gonna get maybe fifty yards 702 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 7: on fifteen carries, and you know, Dak's gonna have to 703 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 7: throw for four hundred yards or Cooper Rush's gonna have 704 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:45,800 Speaker 7: to throw for three hundred yards if they want a 705 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 7: chance to win this game. So you know, for for 706 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 7: brock Hoffman to step in at center and play the 707 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,439 Speaker 7: way he did after being at reck guard, TJ. Bass 708 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 7: did a good job. I felt at reck guard and 709 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 7: that's probably the five you're gonna look at in Carolina 710 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 7: because scuper Bb suffered a concussion right short week. It 711 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 7: was it was a short week. It was interesting because 712 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 7: he was taken out of the game for a head 713 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 7: injury in the second quarter, got looked at in the 714 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,879 Speaker 7: blue tent, came back, played and then was taken out 715 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 7: again and didn't return in the second half. I asked 716 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy after that and he said, yeah, they they 717 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 7: looked at it again and they were just like, it's 718 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 7: probably better for him just call it off, so he 719 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 7: will mostly I don't know for sure, but he probably 720 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 7: won't play against Carolina, I would, I would assume because 721 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 7: a concussion protocol. 722 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, the metrics say that Chumadoga had thirty five pass 723 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 4: block snaps, six quarterback pressures, two sacks. He was one 724 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 4: on one seventy seven percent of the time. 725 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,919 Speaker 1: Okay, so they didn't give him a ton of help. 726 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 4: No, they did not, And they usually don't give their 727 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 4: tackles help because because Terrence Steele was seventy four percent. 728 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 4: They usually they're usually their help and they're helping each 729 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 4: other inside is what they're doing. So but yeah, they 730 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 4: gave they They gave Tyler Smith two sacks in this game, 731 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 4: four pressures, two sacks, and then brought howf and had 732 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 4: to sack is according to the Next Gen Folk. 733 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. Is it just a coincidence that the running game 734 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: has gotten so much better with these backups in or 735 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: is it more just a function of they finally committed 736 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: more to the run than they have in the past. 737 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 4: Got the right guy running the ball, I think helps. 738 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 4: I keep saying this. The right guard's healthy Zach. Zach 739 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 4: was playing bad back, bad shoulder, bad everything, you know, 740 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 4: and and so you know, for him. 741 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 8: To battle way the way he did was admirable. 742 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 4: But they have just they're healthier at the position now 743 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 4: and they can get more power at the point of attack. 744 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 4: I think the running the ball too, is because they're 745 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 4: actually getting tight end play. Ferguson a couple of blocks 746 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 4: that were pretty good, schoonmakers getting better that and then 747 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 4: span Ford has been better. So point of attack blocking 748 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 4: for the tight ends, healthier right guard, and commitment to 749 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 4: one back that can actually get it done. 750 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's what's helping, is it's the combination 751 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 9: of both in committing to Dowell and you don't see 752 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 9: those splits really happening where you're kind of forcing it 753 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 9: on Zeke and trying to get him the ball and 754 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 9: keep running kind of into a break wall and not 755 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,280 Speaker 9: getting much game. So I think it's just the timing 756 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 9: of it with what's happening with the offensive line. Like 757 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 9: Brian said in Scoommaker, he's had some really good blocks 758 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 9: that I'm like, okay, now we're talking. Now we got 759 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 9: something to work with here. So that's credit to the 760 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 9: tight ends and just something more positive as far as 761 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,839 Speaker 9: the blocking in general, but also committing to Dow. 762 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's slip over the defense. We got a few 763 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: more minutes here. I thought overall, the defense had a 764 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: pretty good performance. Obviously, Chase Jamar Chase had a day, 765 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 1: and that's the thing when you play those kind of players, 766 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 1: sometimes they are going to do this. He had fourteen 767 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: catch fo one hundred and seventy seven yards and two touchdowns. 768 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow completed seventy five percent of his passage for 769 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty nine yards and three touchdowns with 770 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: one interception. That being said, I think the one piece 771 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 1: that I didn't personally account for that I think really 772 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: hurt the Cowboys was Chase Brown, and not necessarily Chase 773 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: Brown as a runner, but Chase Rapp catch around is 774 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: as I had a receiver yesterday for sixty five Yeah, 775 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: he only had forty fourteen rushers for fifty eight yards 776 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: four point one average, but he had six catches for 777 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: sixty five yards and a touchdown. Why do you think 778 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: Dallas struggled so much with defending him, particularly in the 779 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: passing game. 780 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 4: That's a good question, because you know what, I did 781 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 4: not factor him in going in. 782 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: We didn't talk a lot about him. 783 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 8: No, no, we did not, because they really you know, 784 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 8: he's I got. 785 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 4: Reminded by fantasy football people that he can actually make plays. 786 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: Oh he's got big numbers. I played against him. He 787 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 1: put some big numbers. 788 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 4: So it's it's you know with him. You know, I 789 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 4: was like, well, okay, well the tape shows he kind 790 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,879 Speaker 4: of they don't really try and run the ball all 791 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 4: that much, and they did it enough, and he had 792 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 4: some good downhill runs. I didn't expect him to, you know, 793 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 4: I hadn't seen that. He was kind of leaking out 794 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 4: of the backfield. They try to get him a couple 795 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 4: of screens and stuff like that, and but they they 796 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 4: and they split him out. If you remember, they had 797 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 4: a third down conversion where they put him wide and 798 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 4: they picked for him, and he ran a slant and 799 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,399 Speaker 4: and then overshow him couldn't get into coverage fast enough, so. 800 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: He went down Phil one time too, and they had 801 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: him out the well, they had him they he well, 802 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,800 Speaker 1: it's the very next play they get a first. 803 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,800 Speaker 4: They get a first with the with the slant behind 804 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,280 Speaker 4: the pick, and then they run him on a vertical 805 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 4: route to the corner of the end zone and they 806 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 4: try and throw him the ball land on the on 807 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 4: the defense. Yeah, so yeah, he he was, he was. 808 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 4: I did not see that one coming for him making 809 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 4: those receptions in this game, or use him the way 810 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 4: they did. 811 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 7: I think when so much attention goes to Chase and 812 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 7: then if your attention is not on Chase, it's on T. Higgins. 813 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 7: And if it's not on T Higgins, it's on Micah SICKI. Yeah, yeah, 814 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 7: somebody's got to be open, and Chase Brown was was 815 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 7: just that, you know, I think the Cowboys ad a 816 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 7: good job taking T Higgins out of the game. Two 817 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 7: catches for twenty three yards. Yeah, that's five targets on 818 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 7: five targets. Yeah, that's not his best and that's a win. 819 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 7: But you know, Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow, that combination 820 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 7: is one of those that rarely are you going to 821 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 7: see anybody completely take them out of the game. It 822 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 7: is just you can only hope you can limit them 823 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 7: as much as possible, because there were some plays where 824 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,360 Speaker 7: you know, Dallas has it all played well, Trayvon Diggs 825 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 7: sees where the ball is going. But Burrow and Chase 826 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,399 Speaker 7: just have that camaraderie and that time spent together where 827 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 7: they're on the same page. We talked about nonverbal communication 828 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 7: between those two last week playing in college and at 829 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 7: the NFL at a high level together where they can 830 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 7: just make those kinds of plays. There's nothing you can 831 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 7: do about it. There's nothing you can do about it. 832 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 7: So you know, when Chase Brown is able to do 833 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 7: stuff like that, it doesn't shock me just because that 834 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 7: attention is so widespread. But that doesn't mean that there 835 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 7: isn't something you could have done to stop that. When 836 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 7: he gets going. 837 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 4: They had just looking at Jamar Chase by the nearest defender. 838 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 4: I was just curious about that point. 839 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, like Diggs. 840 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 4: Diggs gave up five receptions, Bland gave up three receptions. 841 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 4: Lewis gave up two receptions. All right, that was on 842 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,720 Speaker 4: that was on twelve targets. He had ten catches against 843 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 4: your corners on twelve target on your starting corners. It 844 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,840 Speaker 4: wasn't like he was like, oh, let's go pick on Diggs, 845 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 4: Oh let's go pick on Bland. 846 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,240 Speaker 8: He it didn't matter. And then throw throw. 847 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,800 Speaker 4: Kendricks in there for one for twenty four. Throw hooker 848 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 4: in there for one for fourteen. Throw over shown in 849 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 4: there for one for six, you know. I mean, that's 850 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 4: that's kind of where this thing went for you. It 851 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 4: didn't matter who you put on him. He was going 852 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 4: to find a way to make play. 853 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 7: And here's the even more impressive part for me coming 854 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 7: into this game. Joe Burrow was I think the best 855 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 7: quarterback in the league on inbreaking routes. And we had 856 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 7: the Cowboys and him and that guy Detroit. I think 857 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 7: of the two, it's him golf CJ. Stroud too with 858 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,360 Speaker 7: exactly there you go. You got that right too. Jamar 859 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 7: Chase had nine catches on out breaking routes. It was 860 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,240 Speaker 7: the most for one and two yards or two touchdowns. 861 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 7: That's the most receiving yards on outbreaking routes in the 862 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 7: last seven years. Oh wow, yeah, seven years? 863 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 1: What I mean, what what could was that? Is there 864 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: a reason for that? Like, do you think that this 865 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: was a situation where just from a from a defensive standpoint, 866 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: Dallas was maybe clogging up the middle and do that, 867 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: and so he created these open spots for him. 868 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 7: So they said, that's fine, we'll just go the other 869 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 7: way and Jamar Chase can get open. He can make 870 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 7: some guys miss on the sideline. You can tiptoe down there. 871 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:44,320 Speaker 7: He's good enough of a player. 872 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: Brows got the arm to make those outa. 873 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 8: Here's here's the metric on it. You asked. 874 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,880 Speaker 4: Dallas played against him, played man coverage twenty four times. 875 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 4: He had seven receptions for one hundred and three zone 876 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 4: they played twenty one routes. He had seven catches for 877 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 4: seventy four yards, a touchdown in an interception, So it 878 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 4: was pretty balanced man in zone. It's just that he 879 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 4: found a way to He found a way to play 880 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 4: on the outside. 881 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 8: That is what you know. 882 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 4: They they felt like that maybe, okay, when Dallas is 883 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 4: going to play zone, will run the outs. When Dallas 884 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 4: plays man, we'll take it inside, is what we'll do. 885 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:27,439 Speaker 6: See. 886 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 9: Even though despite all of that, I thought the defense 887 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 9: did a pretty nice job and like keeping you in 888 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 9: the game, like he just it kept you right on 889 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 9: hand with what your offense was doing. And I would 890 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 9: say more the pacing of it. It didn't all come 891 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 9: at once. He just got spread out and they did 892 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 9: enough to manage. I mean, some of those plays that 893 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 9: were giving up were disappointing because you look like guys 894 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 9: like Darren Bland that you expect them to play at 895 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 9: a higher level, or Trevon Diggs as well, George In. 896 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 9: But despite all of that, I think not to bring 897 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 9: it back to the offense. But games like this is 898 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 9: where you need your offense to be able to step 899 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 9: it up because your defense was able to keep you 900 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 9: in the game throughout the whole thing. 901 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 1: Yep, all right, that's a wrap. We'll be back tomorrow. 902 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: We will start diving into the next one, Cowboys versus Carolina. 903 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: All of a sudden that this game has become one 904 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: where it's not a gimme. Carolina is looking really good 905 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, even though they've lost, played 906 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 1: Philly tight, played Kansas City tight, So it's a this 907 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: is gonna be an interesting game. We'll start breaking that 908 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 1: down tomorrow. Till then, for Tommy Yarsh, Brian brought us Ambergarcia. 909 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 1: I'm Derek Eagleton.
