Here inside the 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:38.120 SWBC podcast studio. Well, one of us is tapped out. 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:40.519 One of us is too tired to play today. That 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.559 would be Everson, and so we got Nate and Frisco 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.800 in the house instead. Hello, Nate, Hey, how are you doing. 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:51.839 I'm so excited to get this show going. I'm I 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:56.360 am so lost. I am I am. I need Mick 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.720 of Mixed Shots to put me back on the. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.200 Give us some perspective, Mickey, what do you need? 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:03.400 I am lost? 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.800 Before we go there, Before we go there? You do 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.160 understand where I went with that on? Ever since tapping out? 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:10.280 No, I don't know. 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.760 You saw Anthony Richardson, the Indianapolis quarterback. 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:14.960 Don't don't bring that up. 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.000 Okay, No, he tapped. 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:18.600 Out, He tapped out. 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:23.080 He was don't mind ever since tapped out because he's tired. 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.400 Don't tired of me? That's why he tapped it. 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.520 I saw the headline and I didn't read it. I 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:29.800 just said tired. 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:35.640 He it was smart on his The reason I say 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.520 for him it was smart ye because even when he's fresh, 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.160 he's apt to throw interception. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:46.119 So Joe Flacco came in and handed it off. 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:52.360 Yeah. The thing that's amazing about this kid, he was 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:57.000 a second day pick. He came to the combine and 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:58.160 lit up the combo. 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.000 Yeah, you're saying, before the combine he would have been 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:02.280 a second day pitch. 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.120 So now he moves himself up into top four, the 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:10.400 top four, and instead of the owner saying, Okay, we're 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.639 going to draft this guy and we're going to give 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.959 him a chance to grow, no, put him in there. 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.440 Do what Andy Reid did with Patrick Mahomes is what 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:19.280 they should have done. 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.960 With Did they watch his college stuff? 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.120 No, he had a LOWKI. He didn't complete fifty percent 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:26.640 of his passes in college either. 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.120 He was running all the time. 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:33.600 No, I did not watch his He is an impressive guy. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:34.840 He's an impressive athlete. 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:36.720 He's an impressive athlete person. 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:43.120 He's impressive and interviews and stuff. He's very impressive. And 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.359 so was Patrick Mahomes and Patrick Mahomes sat for a 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:51.800 season and then became Patrick Mahomes is. Patrick Mahomes had 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.040 a whole lot more on his resume coming out of 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.120 Texas Tech than what Anthony Richardson did. 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.320 That is a difference than a coach standing on what 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:08.880 is right, standing on what is right, you assess a kid. 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:13.280 It's no way the scouts, the head coach, and the 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.760 head of personnel. The guy that has Will McClay position 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.760 is not saying, coach, look at this guy. He's not ready. 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:27.160 We cannot get him ready for NFL season. Some guys 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:32.360 you cannot throw in there. He did not play well in. 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:36.320 College, and especially because his first instinct is gonna be 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:41.080 to run the football when things go haywire. And just 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.160 like what Jerry said on the radio this morning, he 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.160 didn't want his quarterback. When quarterbacks running this league, they 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.000 get hurt. And that's what's happened. 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.480 Here when they're not Anthony Richardson, is when they're not smart. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.520 Do I need to bring up Jaden Daniels. You're gonna 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.680 run that much, Chances are you're gonna get hurt. 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.880 And he's gonna learn because he's much smarter. Yes, and 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.600 I'm hoping the head coach is saying, you know what, 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.160 I understand, I'm gonna put up in front like, oh yeah, 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.680 got gonna run, but don't you run that ball? And 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.240 I even during this game out like that, just take off. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.520 But he's all, we got to be honest with you, 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.040 Dak is all we got. We we don't have a 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.680 run game. Forget it. We don't have a run game. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.880 Not because the running backs can't run because my head coach, 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.679 who I want to stay ahead coach, won't run the ball. 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.800 Coach McCarthy, I'm the only friend you got. I love 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:38.920 you run the ball. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.200 And they were running the ball against age. I mean 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:49.400 zeke A at third quarter his stats we're seven carries 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.919 for thirty five yards, yes, five yards of carry, but 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:53.480 he only had seven carries. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.600 Right well, and then they got impatient because they started 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.000 falling behind, and it's like, okay, we got to throw 0:04:59.040 --> 0:04:59.400 the ball. 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:05.240 What is behind into Okay, I can boldly say twenty 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.440 points in the NBA is nothing. 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.960 You have to be down thirty third, twenty nothing round. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.640 Now you consider that one San. 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.640 Francisco did in the third quarter, a twenty one nothing run. 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.839 That happens every night in the NBA. 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.320 Yeah, So now I know twenty points down is behind 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:27.240 in the NBA. In the NFL, is three points considered behind? 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:31.400 That youo far behind that twenty seven is okay? But 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.760 I mean when it's twenty seven to ten. 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:39.640 Ten to thirteen, I'm saying, what score dictates? Is it ten? 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.880 Is it fourteen? When you're fourteen? Do you come out 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.400 just winging it? Is it ten? Or is it just 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:50.080 decided by your defense? So we're so scared that our 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.800 defense is never going to stop a team to three points? 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.840 Is when we just give up on the run. I'm 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.279 trying to figure it out. I'm lost. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:05:59.840 Well, I mean we can go back and look at 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:00.679 that third quarter? 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.160 Yes? Can we do that? Make on your show? Can 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:04.640 we do that? Yes? Okay? 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.200 San Francisco took the lead at thirteen to ten after 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:08.640 the first drive of the third quarter? 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:16.440 Stop stop? Okay? Does that constitute coming out throwing? Mick? 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:17.680 Don't ignore me here? 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.239 No, No, you're good okay. 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.680 Ten, So tell me you had the penalty on the 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.360 kickoff that for the illegal forward pass that sets you 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.400 back here at your own eleven yard line. Okay, And 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:35.400 on first and ten completion, Ferguson plus zero second and 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:40.560 ten completion CD plus six, third and four from the 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:47.880 seventeen interception. There are three passesis and because you threw 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.600 an interception and they took over at the thirty two 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.480 yard line right and they scored, and they scored and 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.240 that was the Kittle touchdown on the illegal pick made 0:06:59.279 --> 0:06:59.960 it twenty to ten. 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.000 Now it was not an illegal pick. 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:07.280 Now you come back. You come back and first and 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:11.640 ten from the twenty six Zeke gets six yards. That's 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.040 a quality run play. It is that gives Zeke seven 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.280 carries for thirty five yards in this football game, five 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.040 yards of carrying and he got six there. Second and 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.800 fourth to thirty two incomplete. I got pressure written down. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:29.840 It was third and fourth the thirty two incomplete Bosa 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:35.239 pressure punt. San Francisco takes over their own twenty five 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:39.960 and they went seventy five yards to pey dirt. And 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.360 that's when you thirty six seconds left in the third quarter. 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.520 Now you're down twenty seven to ten. You had six 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:49.200 plays in the third quarter in that twenty one nothing 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.240 run in five of them were pass plays. 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.440 But then the next possession you ran it twice hook 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.920 and got one yard, get right? You know five excuse me? 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:03.960 You know you know my logic. You know I get 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.080 killed on my show for my logic, and I probably 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:10.280 get killed on this show too, for my logic. When 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.800 you're not a very good team, the only thing that 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.760 make and save you is trying to run the ball 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:24.520 into a brick wall, throwing down the temple of the game, 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.560 giving yourself a chance. And for every second that your 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:35.480 defense is on that bench, it is called rest. I 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.000 am convinced. It's been seven games. We should know who 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:43.000 we are by now. Those people over there, that team 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.360 should know even more who they are. I know who 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:53.439 they are. But this is the amazing thing is I 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.400 fear this every year for a good quarterback. Is now 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:02.040 Dak is into his own head. He is trying to 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:07.440 make plays that are not there. I was on y'all 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:11.160 show three weeks ago saying Dak has taken too many hits. 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.679 It's going to start to show up. The interceptions, the 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:20.720 just throwing bad passes. Dak had got over that. Now 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:25.080 all of that is slowly leaking back onto him. Don't 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.240 keep that pressure on him like that. Well, how some 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.439 way you got to find a way to leave that 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:31.240 by the way. 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.960 On those two possessions, the Cowboys had to your point 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:40.240 about resting your defense one the time of possession was 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.040 one minute twenty seven seconds on the first possession and 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.600 one minute five seconds on the second possession. 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:51.880 Yeah, they did get away from the run, but there 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:55.440 were some runs in there that made you go hmm, 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.000 because they weren't getting anywhere. The run blocking wasn't good 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.960 a consistent it is. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:06.839 It's never gonna be good this team right now, due 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.480 to youth and players getting older. It's never gonna get 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.600 it's never gonna get good. But what you're trying to 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:20.680 do is establish something. Just like coach said two games ago, 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.440 we're not gonna be We're not gonna look like some 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.320 good teams that walk in here. But he has to 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:31.080 believe in himself that he has to keep trying because 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.160 six games from now you are gonna look better. But 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.680 the only time that you get to practice runs is 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:44.920 in training camp, in preseason games, and in games. That's 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:49.200 the only time. And if you never practice in the game, 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:51.400 how will you ever get better. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:53.560 Here's the other thing. On the run of the ball 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.120 and not getting anything. It just takes me back to 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.800 the old wishbone days, Jerry Switzer and I would get 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:04.840 so frustrated's watching the wishbone because for some reason they 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.000 would hand off to the full back and unless the 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.040 fullback was Kenny King right right, it would go nowhere. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.440 Why are we handing off to the full back and 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.760 getting one yard when we got Joe Washington or we 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.160 got Greg Pruett and on that option pitch you can go, 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.520 you can go sixty yards. And Switzer always said, no, 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.720 you have to establish that belly play. You have to 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.880 so that the defense will respect it and be honest, 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.320 and then that opens up the flanks. It's the same 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.840 thing throwing the football. The reason that you can run 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.720 run play action passes is because they have to respect 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.560 the run. And yeah, you may get beginning zero yards, 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:50.640 one yard, two yards, but that takes the that keeps 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.440 the defense from having from being able to pin their 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.200 ears back and going after your quarterback. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.560 It just it's starting to add up. And fellas, thank 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:04.120 you all for let me say this. Somehow, some way, 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:09.319 Dak cannot keep taking these hits. I said it after 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.400 the second game. I'm gonna say it after the seventh game. 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:17.520 Dak cannot continue to take these hits. He's not even 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.760 getting off of his first read in some instances. One 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.320 of the interceptions he threw, man, he took a shot 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.240 to the ribs that was unholy man. 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.480 And the pain lasted for the rest of the game. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.240 Understanding when I saw when I saw that shot he took, 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:38.080 I say, now it's beginning to wear on him. The 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.440 pressure of trying to make sure tobery get the ball, 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.640 to make sure CD get the ball, to make sure 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.760 it's tight end, get the ball. I mean, this thing 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:52.040 is beginning to be rapid fire. You can these stats, 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.040 and I gotta tell numbers, guys, the stats does not 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.360 tell the story. Because the stats, these numbers. You can't 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.920 feel Dak is filling these numbers well. 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:07.320 And that's why everybody sits there and concentrates on his interceptions. Yes, 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.840 there's a reason why there's interceptions. The first one, the 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:17.040 interception he tried to throw off deep off his back foot, 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.640 and as I pointed out, he didn't see what happened 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.320 because he was on the ground. Bosa knocked the daylights. 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:24.560 Out of es he did. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.840 So in that situation, do you want your quarterback to 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.960 take the sack or try to throw the ball. 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:36.360 My deal is I call it to Tom Brady theory. 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.280 You saw him at least those seven balls a game. Well, 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.560 you're like, where is he throwing the ball just away? 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:43.319 Get it away? 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.040 Because he had he had to make a decision on that. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.480 Would you rather give Turpin a chance to come down 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:54.280 with the ball and you're not, You're gonna throw it short. 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.960 Schottenheimer pointed out that on that one Turpin had to 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.920 play defense, like go go interfere. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.200 I've given up on that. I've given but that's. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:07.480 Not that's not why. 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.160 No, no, no, no, let me explain what I'm telling 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:15.080 you what I've given up. For some reason, all will 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:20.640 ride receivers does not understand I'm hoping saying this right 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.960 that you have a right to play defense when your 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:29.360 quarterback has thrown a bad pass. You if you if 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:30.680 you can't catch. 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:34.360 It, don't let me can't. I'm like, what is the 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.960 problem with I receive it and you can see it can't. 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.440 It was coming right because the ball hung up because 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.320 he got hit when he threw it, and it was 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:47.640 way too high and it was short, and so he's 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.200 got to go. But see that what's happens when you 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:54.280 got receivers that don't have a lot of experience playing receiver. 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:59.760 That's our fault, well it is, but. 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.960 You know they're they're relying on him to you know, 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.520 get off the line of scrimmage and beat out. You're 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:14.520 relying on somebody blocking Bosa. And the problem they're having here, 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.920 here's the only problem. To be able to protect Dak 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.560 they need the tight ends to be chipping right. So 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.320 that means you don't have as many people out in 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:28.960 the past pattern, you got two guys out basically because 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.480 you got to help both tackles. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.520 You know, I would say this right, this is funny 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:40.560 when you have when you have the remind me of 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.760 Kevin Gorgan. He was playing with Philadelphia and he came 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.720 out the game. They said, you know he's playing at 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:51.200 his regui. He said, Kevin, where are you hurting? And 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:55.880 he looked at the tray, say everywhere. This is our 0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:01.800 football team. What do you fix? Tell me right now. 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.840 You better fix protecting the quarterback. 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.000 And I can tell you how. But it won't be pretty, 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.720 and we won't score a lot of points and we 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.240 won't be successful a lot of times. The only way 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.880 you're gonna do that run running football. 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:23.720 Because the second interception and keeping that tight end will 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.920 help you run in the football right, because the second 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:30.760 interception was a product of forcing things right. He knows 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.360 better than that. Don't throw that pass, but he's trying 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.840 to do something when you're struggling, and then you make 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:37.760 matters worse. 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.880 The thing that irks me, the thing is they weren't 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.920 even struggling. Then they run down three. 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:48.880 Thank you. But now this is what I don't get. 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:55.400 This span forward that everybody talks about and loves. Why 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.640 is he not in blocking? Every time I hear his name, 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:03.680 it's for a pass? No, he was in blocking, bro, 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:05.080 he you know what? 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.240 Did you see how many snaps he had? How many 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.480 nineteen or twenty? And they threw one path to him? 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:14.080 Was in for two snaps. 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.119 I don't want to hear him catch not one pass. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:18.199 I'm being honest me. 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.840 You know, no, I understand, but I wonder why, like 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.680 was the play design there? Or is that what Dak 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.920 decided to do under pressure? 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.199 I tell you right here, man, I would become the 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:40.240 most boring his team in America. You you have too 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:45.040 many uncertainties. We can come. We have not said one 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:51.680 positive thing about this team since we sat down and 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.000 and that is the challenge that coach McCarthy did. 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:56.600 They were leading that. 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.159 Has said Zeke had five yards of carry on his 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.120 first seven carry seven five. 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.320 Yeah, they had a halftime lead. 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:12.120 Yeah, But the problem is will you be mean enough 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.399 or tough enough or stubborn whatever word it is, to 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.760 come out in the second half and try to do 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.480 what you did in the first half. And so my 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.720 question is are we so scared that the dam is 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.760 going to break on our defense to do we feel 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.200 we have to just come out winging? It? Is that 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:37.040 the true problem that coach zim that's my guy. I 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.200 was so happy when they got it that these guys 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.399 are not responding to them, or we don't have the 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.880 players that's good enough to do what needs to be 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.720 done to help the offense. Is it just our defense 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:49.359 that bad? 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:53.520 So you don't like my idea of seeing that they 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.119 ran the two minute drill so well on the fourth 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.119 quarter to come out and start the game in a 0:18:58.119 --> 0:18:58.920 two minute drill. 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.879 Your defense can't handle that because if we score quick, 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:09.720 that puts the bottom you know, it is so many 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:15.640 questions to be fulfilled. We don't have enough time on shows. 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:20.080 You know, what is the reason, you know, because I 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:23.920 don't want to hear no more. Hey man, we got behind, 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:27.560 we won, we won in the game, and we had 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:31.400 just that and the other. You are starting to affect 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:36.359 your quarterback. You are starting to and I knew that. 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.520 And when your quarterback gets up and says, I threw 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.040 this one. It was a bad pass. I threw this one. 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:47.280 It was a bad pass. I gotta be better, don't 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.600 you think a few years ago, remember when he went 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.560 through this bad turn two or three years ago. You 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:57.919 don't want to have your quarterback saying he got to 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.720 win every game. You want your quarterback saying, if I 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.760 distribute this ball right and I keep us out of 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.720 bad plays, at the end of the game, we should 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:10.080 be in the game one way or another, no more 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.200 than seven points either way. Well, we've been. 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.760 This has been such a good first segment. We've gone 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:19.800 twenty one minutes. It's time to take a break. What 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:21.280 do you want to talk about when we come back 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:22.160 here on mix shots? 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.080 Oh, we got lots to talk we do. 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:26.879 We have lots to talk about. And in fact, how 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.200 about the anatomy of a good drive. You want something 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.439 positive about how what the Cowboys did on their sixty 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.159 five yard eleven play drive.
