Speaker 1: Phillips will be joining us a little bit. He's working

19
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: on a story that um for the website that of course,

20
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones on his weekly radio show, basically made the

21
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: comment that Dak Prescott will be extended, and so that

22
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: sent writers scurrying about. He was asked towards the end

23
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: of the segment about Dak Prescott, what he thinks of him,

24
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: what is his development, and what do you see of

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: him going forward? And he said, Dak is the quarterback

26
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys. He's young, He's going to get extended.

27
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: And that created a very long, pregnant pause on the broadcast,

28
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: and then they find caught themselves and they go, oh, oh,

29
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: we got some news. Yeah, so there you go. Sean

30
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Lee's hamstring, Yeah, exactly all right, and he did not

31
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: have an answer on how Sean Lee's hamstring is, which

32
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: brings us to last night against the Titans, a very

33
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: disappointing night for the Cowboys, the twenty eight to fourteen

34
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: loss that leaves them at three and five, two games

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: back of the Redskins, one game back of the Eagles, who,

36
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: of course they play this week. The only saving grace

37
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: is the fact that Atlanta beat Washington on Sunday, and

38
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: that means they're still just two games back in first place. Yeah,

39
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's the reason why you made the

40
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: moves you made, and to try and go and take

41
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: a division. It just you know, it's the halfway point

42
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: you're kind of looking can you get in on a

43
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: wild card? I think this team to get in the

44
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: playoffs is going to have to win the division. And

45
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: then so I'm probably not saying anything that people out

46
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: there don't already know. And so you've got a position

47
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: yourself the best best way you can really disappointing last night,

48
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: I felt like I misevaluated, uh, this team's ability to

49
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: take advantage of some of the things that Tennessee can do,

50
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: and uh, you know defensively, you look at it. I

51
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: just in my mind and when watching the game this morning,

52
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: you know on tape, you know, bright and I'm real

53
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: real late last night that the thing I just kept

54
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: looking at and I couldn't get away from was how

55
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: well that Tennessee played on third down and seven and

56
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: plus yards. You know they were Those are usually bad

57
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: down in distant situations for NFL teams. Not many conversions

58
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: or happened in that particular down in distance. But you know,

59
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: tip of the captain, Marcus Mariota, the way he played,

60
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: he was he had a lot of pressure in the

61
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: game he had to deal with. He made some clutch throws.

62
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: Their receivers did a great job of running some routes

63
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: getting open, and you know, I was that that to

64
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: me was was was shocking because you know, this is

65
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't doesn't do very well on third down.

66
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Titans. Uh, you know, but the

67
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys put him in some some bad down and distant situations,

68
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: but they were able to come through. Uh. You know

69
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: with this uh, with the to make the plays necessary

70
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: to win that football game. And it's a it's unfortunate

71
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: you didn't take advantage of some early opportunities, uh to

72
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: cash in for yourself. The missfield goal clearly hurt you.

73
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: The Prescott interception, I think that was just a bad

74
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: read on his part. He felt like that, you know,

75
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: probably during the week of practice when they went ran

76
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: short yardage and goal line that when they got in

77
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: twenty one personnel that they that Kevin Bayard was going

78
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: to step up and instead he ran with uh Maury Cooper.

79
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: And you know, Prescott thinking now cav got a clean

80
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: throw there when he really didn't have a clean throw.

81
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: So you know, the fumbles. A lot of things had

82
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: happened in this game that that caused you not to win,

83
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: uh win a game that I felt like you really

84
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: really really had to have going here going forward these

85
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: next few weeks. Bill, they had a great opportunity going

86
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: into this game. You mentioned Washington getting beat. You're playing

87
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: a team that's three and four, had not played well

88
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: on the road, had lost three consecutive games going into

89
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: this game, was offensively challenged, and by all rights, you

90
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: should have been up seventeen to nothing at the end

91
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: of the first quarter if you don't miss a thirty

92
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: eight yard field goal, which was Mayters first miss less

93
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: than forty eight yards, and then you got first in

94
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: goal at the four yard line and you get no points. Yea,

95
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: so to me at the end of the first quarter,

96
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: instead of seven to nothing, it should have been seventeen

97
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: to nothing. And they're on their way and this team's

98
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: ready to fold. But you miss your scoring opportunities and

99
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: then you can't get off the field. Defensively, for the

100
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: first time all year, they converted eleven of fourteen third

101
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: downs at seventy nine. Yeah, and by the way, to

102
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: Brian's point on third and seven or longer. I just

103
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: added it up. They were six for nine third and

104
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: six or longer, they were seven for ten. And it

105
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: wasn't like they you know, they were ahead of the chains.

106
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: They were behind the chain. No that yeah, they were Well,

107
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, you didn't get a good enough pass rush.

108
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: You let him come up with plays, uh kind of

109
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: you know, some gotcha plays and uh, you know, Shawn

110
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: Lee only played seventeen plays. I'm not making excuses for him,

111
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: but this time I think they missed him. And by

112
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: the way, we should point out that Shawn Lee, he

113
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: obviously went out after the hamstring injury, but he was

114
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: not in the game for the second and third series,

115
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: including the eighty yard drive. He came in on the

116
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: goal line on one play, the goal line play where

117
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: they scored the touchdown on that drive. And I don't

118
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: know if I was supposed to be his rest period.

119
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: Two consecutive series that he was not on the field. Yeah,

120
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: you know. And and the way that Tennessee was able

121
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: to drive the ball that that ten that was fifteen

122
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: to nine minutes. That took a lot out of this defense.

123
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: And you know they were uh we felt like going

124
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: in at least I shouldn't say we Brian felt like

125
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: that that that you could have handled the rotation would

126
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: have been good enough for you. You know, you could

127
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: have rotated the defensive tackles. But you know, playing without

128
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: David Irving, uh, you know, could have very well hurt

129
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: the rotation, and playing without you know, Randy Gregory very

130
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: well could have hurt the rotation, especially if it was you.

131
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: You were you were getting the ball driven on you

132
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: and you didn't have those fresh bodies, because it looked

133
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: like in the second half of the game there they

134
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: hit some runs on you that they didn't hit early

135
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 1: in the game, and that might have been a little

136
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: bit because of the wear and tear that that Tennessee

137
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: was able to inflict on those long drives and in

138
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: the first half. So on the eighty yard drive in

139
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: the first half, did you hear any reports of Sean

140
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: Lee that was not looking at him or anything. I

141
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: wonder if he was having an issue with a hamstring then,

142
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: because why on a fifteen play drive like that, you

143
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: would think that he would have been on the field

144
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: at least for a portion of it, even though it

145
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: was like at some point moving the ball. That's one

146
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: let me get you on the field. That's one of

147
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: the things Jerry Jones brought up after the game and

148
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: then again this morning of one of the first things

149
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: he brought up is he felt like his defense got

150
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: tired in the second half of that game and probably

151
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: in the course of that one night yard drive because

152
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,119
Speaker 1: of the rotation issues. Yeah, Tennessee did a nice job,

153
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, as you mentioned, Bill, and the third downs

154
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: to me were huge, the way that they were able

155
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: to convert, you know, into the passes that they were

156
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: able to come up with, the throws that they were

157
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: able to make the receivers and you know, this is

158
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: a group of guys that you know, you could say,

159
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: Cameron Batson, who's Cameron Batson, Well, Cameron Batson's making plays

160
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: in the game for you you know who is you know,

161
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: who is Darius Jennings. Darius Jennings making plays for the

162
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. You know, that's kind of what you hoped

163
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: the receiver by committee group that you had was going

164
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: to make plays, but you know, they just didn't do

165
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: a very good job. Mickey talks about the pass rush

166
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: nearly wasn't consistent enough, you know, and and when they

167
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: did get pass rush you know, the Mariota did a

168
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: great job of getting the ball out and anticipating throws,

169
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: and he had a guys that were opened down the field,

170
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: and I think it was a it was a it

171
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: was a bad night for the Dallas defense not to

172
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: be at their absolute best. They've been carrying this team

173
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: really all year long, and they had they had a

174
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: bad game, especially on third down, and I think that's

175
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: really one of the main reasons. You know, you look

176
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: at offensively what the Cowboys did, and it's you know,

177
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: it was nice to see him Mary Cooper get going.

178
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: You could see, you can tell some of the things

179
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: that he has, you know that he can bring. But

180
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: you know that nearly wasn't wasn't enough for what they

181
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: needed third down and in the red zone. I mean,

182
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: they were four for five in the red zone and

183
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were one four in the red zone, right,

184
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: you know. And it's nice to have a rotation on

185
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: that defensive line, but when you start getting diminishing returns,

186
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: like you don't have the two guys you just mentioned

187
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: who you're rotating in there, right, do those guys need

188
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: to be playing that much? Yeah, you know, you're down

189
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: to Kuran read and then you lost Taco, and you

190
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: lost Taco in the game, and and Crawford's got to

191
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: almost play the entire game at right defensive end, where

192
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: he moved because they didn't have a Randy Gregory to

193
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: put out there. So yeah, they got spread a little

194
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: bit too thin, and it caught up with him at

195
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: that point. And in a moment, we have Rob Phillips,

196
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: and we have him right now. In fact, Rob Phillips,

197
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: how are you doing. I'm good, I'm you know, struggling

198
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: through no sleep, but I'm sure everybody else is here.

199
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: And how a little sleep did you get? I got

200
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: a couple of hours. That's good enough. That's enough to

201
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: try to make sense of what happened. And I'm sure

202
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: you got a job of that so far. You get

203
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: pressed into duty right off the bat this morning due

204
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: to the owner's radio show. Yeah, yeah, he's doubling down

205
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: on Dak Prescott. You know, that's his guy. And and

206
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: look they're trying to make or run here. They're still

207
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: not out of it. Of course he's gonna back his quarterback.

208
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: But I also think he really believes it. I think

209
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of faith in Dak. And but

210
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: what we've seen is clearly he needs help. He needs

211
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: help around him, he needs the defense to play well.

212
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: And when they don't get all those things, uh, they're

213
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: They're not a successful football team, not even close to one.

214
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: Last night just not a good game. That's probably the

215
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: worst loss they've had of the season. And that's kind

216
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: of saying something because you come out of the bye

217
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: and you expect I Jerry sure sounded heat like he

218
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: expected a much more efficient performance. I sure talk that

219
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: way all week. I mean, you make, you make changes.

220
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: You have a couple of weeks to integrate a new

221
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: coach on the old line, a new receiver and who

222
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: played pretty well by the way, but they just weren't

223
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: good enough any way around. And the biggest surprise when

224
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 1: I came in y'all talking about the defense, that was

225
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: the biggest surprise to me. But at some point the

226
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: offense has to help them out too, you know. They've been,

227
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: like Brian said, they've been the backbone of this thing

228
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: for eight games now, and at some point you got

229
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: to help them out. Well, they were helping. They got

230
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: those fumbles early in the game, should have had a

231
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: third one. Yeah, uh, and they didn't take advantage seven

232
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: to nothing. It should have been seventeen to nothing. You

233
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: squander its least it's ast and at least thirteen because

234
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: you could have kicked a field goal from the four yards.

235
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: And that's what I mean, Mick. They gave him a

236
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: couple of short fields. Yeah, and it probably should have

237
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: been seventeen the first time. And they were fired up

238
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: and they're rolling and and everything's going well. Uh, and

239
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: you get another fumble that they overruled. Um, god, it

240
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: just and then it just turned around. And then third quarter,

241
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys give the Titans a short field and what

242
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: do they do with it? They go forty yards and

243
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: score a touchdown, right, you know. And and at some

244
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: point when it's third and I don't know what it

245
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: would it was like third and thirteen, and you're you're

246
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: getting pressured at some point just take the sack and punt. Yeah,

247
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, but he kept fighting, you know, And the

248
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: guy that sacked him was on the ground. They hadn't

249
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: blocked him, he was on the ground, got up and

250
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: hit him and pulled the ball out. Yeah. So that

251
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: was one of those things we talked about. Bad decisions.

252
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: They run those picks, they run those picks stunts where

253
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, they they they take the they take the

254
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: linebacker or the defensive lineman. And you know, Brown in

255
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: this case just you know, he hammered right into Joe Looney.

256
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, though, you know, if Rod Smith just stays

257
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: on his feet, you know, he cuts, he goes low

258
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: to try and cut Brown. He cuts Brown, but he

259
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: also cuts Looney in the play, you know, and and

260
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: it's a lot of it. You know, there's some self

261
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: inflicted stuff if you stay on your feet, keep the

262
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: pocket clean. They had some things that were developing down

263
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: the field, but he just couldn't get to it because

264
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: there was so much happening in front of him that

265
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: he had to pull the ball and he tried to,

266
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, and get Brown a lot of credit coming

267
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: up off the ground, like Mickey said. And then and

268
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: then as Prescott's going forward to just try and fall forward,

269
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: he's ripping at the ball. And that's you know, that

270
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: that's that's a disaster. Dak is. His inability to protect

271
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: the ball in the pocket has been a problem for

272
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: this team this year. And one of the reasons he's

273
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: got to protect the ball in the pocket is because

274
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: there's pressure on him. They're coming after him. The same

275
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: thing on the interception in the end zone. He's got

276
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: a guy flashing in his face. He's got to mail

277
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: that into the first row. Yeah, and he tried to

278
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: throw it up. He thought he had a Cooper and

279
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: he overthrew him and the guys behind him. And makes

280
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: you hate to see interceptions when the guy's intercepting the

281
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: ball behind your wide receiver and got to mail that.

282
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: Just get rid of it. Because the guy was in

283
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: his face and he tried throwing off his back. I

284
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: don't think he's floating. I don't think he saw Kevin

285
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: Biden did into a spot. Yeah. That's one of those

286
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon goal line practice plays like I was talking about,

287
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: where they draw the card up and they say, okay,

288
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: we're in twenty one personnel, run heavy group, we play

289
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: action it, we're gonna get a safety reaction. Well, this

290
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: guy's an All Pro player, you know, yeah, he's you

291
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: know he's and Kins did a good job here showing it.

292
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: If you're watching on the screen, you know, with us,

293
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: and you might be listening to him. Sorry to go

294
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: back and watch it, but Kevin Bayer never moved once

295
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: once that Cooper flashed across his face. He went into

296
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: trail mode and and rightfully celebration here. Yeah, yeah, exactly, so,

297
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunate. But Prescott, I'm sure in practice all

298
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: week long when he threw that ball, there was not

299
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: a safety trailing on the play. So if he intercepted

300
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: the ball in Philadelphia, when he goes stood on the eagle,

301
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: there's something about they've already beat they already beat the

302
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: Eagles at home. Yeah, they didn't have to go stand

303
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: on the eagle. Yeah, they have to stand on the Eagles.

304
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: See Amory calling for that holding call and he didn't

305
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: get it. Well, he got grabbed. He could have called it.

306
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: You could have got you could have got yeah, you

307
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: could have got Logan Ryan grabs him on the way by. Yeah,

308
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: and the official let him let it go, and that

309
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: that that happens. You get down in the red zone,

310
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: you know they let you play, and you know that's

311
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: that's the result. He did get grabbed. He was going,

312
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he was exploding past Logan Ryan and and

313
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: he grabbed him, I mean clearly grabbed him in that

314
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: official stands right there. It's sour Graves right now. I'm

315
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: not complained about the officiating. But I think this just

316
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: goes back to what we talked about with Dak Prescott

317
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: in his ability to see the field. At times, he

318
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: assumed that there was not going to be a safety there.

319
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: He gambled, he was wrong and resulted in a bad turnover. Well,

320
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: when you're throwing off your bad back foot, bad things happened.

321
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: And if it wasn't Dwight Clark, he would have gone

322
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: up and cut the ball. I mean that's he just

323
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: threw it up, figuring, Okay, I'm gonna give my guy

324
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: maybe maybe have one on one situation. You throw it,

325
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: you can get that. But but the fact that he

326
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: got held off the lit for the guy. He didn't

327
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: account for the safe because Michael Down was not behind Dwight. Yeah. Yeah, no, So,

328
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean that's what he was trying to do, and

329
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: and he overthrew his guy, figured I'll throw it up there.

330
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: If he can't get it, no one gets it. And

331
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: Amari kind of fell on the sword and said, I

332
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: let the guy hold me. If he hadn't held me,

333
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: I would have gone up and made the play. Yeah, well,

334
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: we never let anybody hold us, right, just called throw

335
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: the flag. Hey, I'm with you, with you, there's a

336
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: couple that just just oh, it's amazing. Didn't quite know

337
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: that somebody, if we're talking about a fish. And I

338
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: don't quite understand what Layton Vanders can do any differently

339
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: than what he did to try and tackle a quarterback.

340
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: You know, he was going into the slide, you know

341
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: he was, And here's a kid that's running full speed

342
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: and he's trying to keep the quarterback from getting to

343
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: the sticks, and he has it already started. Yeah, he

344
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: started started slide and Vanders she's going down to try

345
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: and tackle the game. Vanderas had already started his descent

346
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah. And I don't know. I don't know

347
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: what you can do any different I you know, when

348
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: they all got together there, I thought, Okay, they're gonna

349
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: pick up the flag here, but then they go, oh,

350
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: well it's helmet, the helmet, but it's a quarterback. We

351
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: got to protectactly. And I don't know what Vanderesh can

352
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: do any differently. I really don't. I don't understand. I

353
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: understand protecting the quarterback if you're head hunting. I don't

354
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: think Layton Vanderesh was head hunting in that particular case.

355
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: I think he was trying to keep Marcus Mariota from

356
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: getting any further down the field, and it just the

357
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: way Mariota slid was the way he impacted him. And

358
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, those those are the calls that I think

359
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: the officials need to look at and say, no, we're

360
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: absolutely no, that's wrong. That's you can't call that. But

361
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 1: there's needs needs to be somebody up in the booth

362
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: who is actually seeing the replay without stopping play, and

363
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: they can say whoa wait a second, yeah, this he

364
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: had already started his tackle at the time that the

365
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: quarterback started his slide. I mean, they just do what

366
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: college does. Go go look at it again. Yeah, because

367
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: he didn't slide targeting he went when he slid, he

368
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: didn't go feet first. He went as yeah, but excuse me,

369
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: that's fine, let me ask you guys. And and so

370
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: when he slides like that, the head is where vander

371
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: Ish is coming to hit him. And I don't care.

372
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: He's not a quarterback anymore, you know, he's onto the pocket.

373
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: That's that's what they said about dak in Washington that

374
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: time he got whacked in the face and into the quarterback. Yeah,

375
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: he's a runner, he's a runner. Let me ask you

376
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: guys this though again, I don't want to complain about

377
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: a fishing. Did you guys hear a whistle on the Prescott? Yeah, no,

378
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: not on the fumble on the time out. He was

379
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: telling me about this at two o'clock in the morning

380
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: in the parking lot when they had Ross sack Mariota

381
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: and they said they got the time out. No, no,

382
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: there's I thought there was another There was a whistle,

383
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: was whistle when when Prescott was more about something you're

384
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: talking about, totally different play, Mickey on the press, the

385
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: Prescott fumbed it out. Yea, the Prescott fumble. Swore, yes,

386
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: there was a whistle that that uh Blakeman, Yeah, Clintman. Uh.

387
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: He blew the whistle, And to me, that stops the play.

388
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: I've when I played football, even the whistle blew, you

389
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: stopped so I could slow doubt because sworn I heard

390
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: a whistle, and and that's when the guys trying to

391
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: rip the ball and then all of a sudden, so

392
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: we didn't get a whistle down down by down right there,

393
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: down forward, progress stopped instead. He comes out and said,

394
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: there's been a fumble that that that done. I'm going,

395
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you blew a whistle. I heard the whistle,

396
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: and when I was watching it, I said, well, the

397
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: play's over. Yeah. I didn't even continue to follow the

398
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: fumble because I heard the whistle. It was it was

399
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: like an in the grass, the old in the grass exactly,

400
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 1: And there was definitely a whistle. But it was a

401
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: clear fumble recovery in their opinion, no question. But the

402
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: whistle had blown, right, so the place should happen, So

403
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: I can add another one to my list. Yeah, okay,

404
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure I do. I wasn't

405
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: hearing things during the game, you know well, and there

406
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: was not a wild scramble for the fumble. In fact,

407
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: and as well as I remember it, the Tennessee guy

408
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: kind of fell at his feet. Yeah. I mean, if

409
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: you watched on tape, the lineman clearly are standing around,

410
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: you know, Connor Williams. Those guys are kind of just

411
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: waiting to see what's going. If there's no whistle, obviously

412
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: everybody's diving in a pile like that recovery, which it

413
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: can get kicked around, especially when you got line. Yeah, yeah,

414
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: trying to come up with the football. So you're right,

415
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there was no doubt and it was not

416
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: just a whistle, it was a multiple, multiple whistle. Yeah, yeah,

417
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, Okay, I just want to make sure

418
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: that I was watching the same game. So I guess

419
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: my whistle was when they gave him the time out,

420
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: when they sacked Mariota. When't I freeze framed it. When

421
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: the whistle blew the ball was this far past the center. Yeah,

422
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: he had already snapped it. Yea, So how do you

423
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: give him the time out? You could hear the whistle

424
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: on television when it when it happened, and the play

425
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: had already started, and that that drives over We sound

426
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: like terrible fans. I having said all of this, the

427
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: having got a lot of issues. Having said all of this,

428
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: the theme for Jerry Jones this morning on the radio

429
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: with A Night to Sleep on It was he's not

430
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: as concerned about the three and five record as he

431
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: is about the fact that they're not playing any better

432
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: than they all they need to play better. Yeah, they

433
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: are not playing better, and it it goes, it goes

434
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: throughout the You know, that was a bad night all around.

435
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: You know, like Mickey said, you get the early turnovers,

436
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: you don't cash in. You have turnovers yourself. You know,

437
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: you give up a third and sevens all night. You know,

438
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: these are things that you know, if you're gonna win games,

439
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: you've got to do, and they didn't. They're just to

440
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: take the bill parcels line. You are what you are

441
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: and that's really you know, that's where the evaluation has

442
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: to start. Now we got eight more games to continue

443
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: to evaluate. I don't think he's going to make any

444
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: coaching change, much to everybody's out there's angst. I guess

445
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: is the right word. But you know, it's a situation

446
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: where this is one that they should have had. It

447
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: should have set them up going forward to the next

448
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: three weeks, and now they're going to have to go

449
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: fight their rears off to go win a game in Philadelphia.

450
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: It could be done, but we'll see Rob Phillips as

490
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,520

529
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: So next Tuesday. All right, can't we get to Rob's thought?

530
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: Now I've lost my thoughts? Where was I going? I

531
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: was playing off what we're gonna play off what Brian

532
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: said before the break, which was, well that's a mistake.

533
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: This is a terrible loss, and I think Jerry's probably

534
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm putting words in his mouth, but Jerry's looking big picture.

535
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: You know, Jason Garrett lives in the present. This is

536
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: the worst team they're gonna face in the next five weeks.

537
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: I feel pretty comfortable saying that that's fair. You've got

538
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: a home game coming out of the bye week, and

539
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: I guess it was our mistake. I think we all

540
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: felt like, oh, I'll admit anything. You're about to say, No,

541
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: we were right. They just didn't play the way they

542
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: were I think we all felt like they were gonna

543
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: just play efficient, good, home, clean football like they've been

544
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: doing at at and T Stadium. They didn't. And defensively,

545
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: I think we've expected maybe too much from this group.

546
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: You know, they you can't expect them to be perfect

547
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: every game, and they didn't play well against an offense

548
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: that really has struggled to do anything this season. That

549
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: was a big surprise. But at some point, your offense

550
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: has got to score more than fourteen fifteen, sixteen seventeen points.

551
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: Got to it's the only chance you have. And there's

552
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna be more of this if they don't If they

553
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: don't pick it up. The other thing to remember is

554
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: that Tennessee was coming off the bye two. That's true.

555
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: And I don't from London and I have all season.

556
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: I haven't bought into this home versus road thing. I

557
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: think you if you're a good football team, you can

558
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: play on the road too. Oh they've done it before, yeah, before,

559
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: And so it's you know, to me, it's it's you know,

560
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: it's there's there's there's always that everybody wants to pile on,

561
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, the coaching staff and all that. I get it,

562
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, but I think I think

563
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: that you know, this is all really part of the

564
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: evaluation of it. If at the end of the day,

565
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: if they don't win enough games there it goes your evaluation.

566
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: You have to figure this out. You know, he's trying

567
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: to evaluate the quarterback. He's you know, he's made some

568
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: comments about that. He's got evaluation already on that he's extending.

569
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: You know, but okay, does that is he extending the

570
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: quarterback with a new staff? Is it going to be

571
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: the same staff. I mean, these are things you I

572
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: think you have to play. To me personally, I would

573
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: let play out. I would let this play out and

574
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: I would say, Okay, am I making a change? Am

575
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: I not making a change? And you know, if I'm

576
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: making a change, do I need to do I need

577
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: to have the input of the staff that's here to say, hey,

578
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: I can win with this guy or I can't win

579
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: with this guy. That's that's why I think you have

580
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: to be careful about, you know, what saying. And he's

581
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: obviously got to support his guy. Now he does. Yeah,

582
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: he can't say he can't say anything different, surely can't.

583
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: And you know, but that's I think me personally. Let's

584
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: let's evaluate, let's evaluate where we're at here and and

585
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: and make and make the best decisions, you know, for

586
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: the team going forward. Okay, would you like to hear

587
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: what Troy Aikman is saying? Sure? Yeah, it was interesting.

588
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: What was on the ticket this morning? I guess and

589
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: I just ran across this on Twitter. Here these are

590
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: his comments from Troy Aikman. This team, over a long

591
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: period of time has been what it's been, and it

592
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: hasn't always mattered who the head coach has been. To me,

593
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: if you're asking me, I'd say there has to be

594
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: a complete overhaul of the entire organization. You just can't

595
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: simply replace head coaches and say now it's going to

596
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: be better. No, it's been shown that it's not better.

597
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: You have to address how everything is being done. And

598
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: there's been times where I've heard Jerry say, Okay, look

599
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: we're going to do it differently. I'm going to do

600
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it differently. But it's the same.

601
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: Nothing changes. That to me is the bigger issue. Yes,

602
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: coaching is important, personnel and all those things are important,

603
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: but how are you going about evaluating? How are you

604
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: going about cutting the organization whatever that looks like. And

605
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: everyone has an opinion of what it does look like.

606
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: But I'm not in the building. I have no idea.

607
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: I talk to people. I talk to people have been

608
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: inside the building and have been pretty good understanding of

609
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: how things are run. In a lot of ways, there's

610
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: a lot of dysfunction and that has to change that

611
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: this team is going to be able to compete on

612
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: a consistent basis, like the teams you look to around

613
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: the league that are seemingly in the hunt each and

614
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: every year. So in honor of election day, it sounds

615
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: like he's campaigning for a job. Oh think so GM job? Interesting? Yeah, intersting, well,

616
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: what do you think, you know? You know, it's but

617
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: this is guys have come out of the booth before

618
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: and got GM jobs. And there's also a guy's one

619
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: in seven right now are two and seven at San Francisco.

620
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: So you know, I think that you know, the guy

621
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: at Denver's not exactly lighting him up right now either,

622
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: And there was a guy in Detroit that didn't, Yeah,

623
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: he didn't light it up. Nice man though God bless him,

624
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: he's having a heart problems. But Matt Millen, But you know,

625
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: I there's a side of me that that I completely

626
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: understand what Troy Agman is saying. But there's also a

627
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: side of me of working in this organization, you know,

628
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: on that side of it that I know that the

629
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: general manager aspect of not as not going to change

630
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: unless he says to make it change. Unless he changes

631
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: it by saying, Okay, it's now Steven's a general manager,

632
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: or Will's a general manager, or somebody else's the general manager. Well,

633
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: I just don't see that part of it changing. You

634
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: know that he I think he's dug in. I think

635
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: he's dug in, and I think he wants to fix

636
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: this the best he can, but I I you know,

637
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't. There's things I don't disagree with Troy Aikman there,

638
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: and nobody wants to see these you know them have success.

639
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean more than me, I really do.

640
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: Makes our job a hell of a lot easier when

641
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: that works. But there, But he's not wrong. But but

642
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: what's going to change, Well, this thing has evolved a

643
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: little bit over the past several years. Will McClay has

644
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: a lot of over what they do. He's not the

645
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: general manager. You're right, he's not. Stephen Jones is heavily involved,

646
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: way more than he's been maybe ten years ago. Yeah,

647
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: so this thing has evolved. But you're right. I mean,

648
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: Jerry is the general manager of this team and he's

649
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: gonna make the final decision. But I'm not trying to

650
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: read into put words in Troy's mouth. But Jerry is

651
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: not a one man uh committee here. I mean this

652
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: he leans heavy, like to talk about that they're all

653
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: having decisions. Yeah, so you know, the comments seemed directed

654
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: probably towards Jerry. And I wouldn't say that it's Jerry's

655
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: ruling this thing with an iron fist anymore. I think

656
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: he's seeding a lot of control in recent years. Now

657
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: is it working right now? Look at the record, No,

658
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: it's not. In my opinion, they're in transition right now.

659
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: As far this team is in transition right now, the

660
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: on the field product, it sounds like Traitman doesn't see

661
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: them in transition being any better, right. That's that's that's

662
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: the thing, you know, If is that the is that

663
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: the reality is that what they are? Is it? Is it?

664
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: You know? Is it? Is? It? Not as simple as

665
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: changing the head coach? You know that that That's where

666
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: I I mean, I but but in my heart, I

667
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: know that I know how this works. I know I

668
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: know he's not going to change. And you know he

669
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: could say, Okay, Stevens now this, or Will's now this,

670
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: or he can bring somebody in from the outside. But

671
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't see that part of it. If Troy is

672
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: trying to get Jerry to change, if that's what he's

673
00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: pointing at, then Troy's just those are just words. Know

674
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: this You know that this is gonna stay. You know,

675
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: as long as Jerry Jones is able to keep his

676
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: hand on the wheel, then that's where this is going

677
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: to go. And you know that's you know, it's you

678
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: could say what you could say. I mean, he learned

679
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: from a guy like Al Davis. You know, Al Davis

680
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: didn't give up control. He said, you know, He's like, hey,

681
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run this team. This is the way I'm

682
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: gonna run this team. I'm gonna do this team. I mean,

683
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: I think Jerry is more flexible than what Al Davis was.

684
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: You know, yes, but you know, I think I think

685
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: that Troy's asking for something that fundamentally will not change

686
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: here unless it's, like I said, passed down to somebody

687
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 1: that's currently in this building. Let's go to Rashim in Pennsylvania. Rashim,

688
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: how are you doing? How you doing, guys? Good? Um?

689
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: My question is, do you guys think that Jason Garnett

690
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: would do a better dog and play caller that Scot?

691
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: In my hand? I think I think Stott hand he

692
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: did outstanding job against the jack balls. He was letting

693
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: a glass up, passed the ball on first down, and

694
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: then he just went back to being theisode of Scott.

695
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm letting hand. What's you guys think about that? All right?

696
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: Thank you? Rashim. So I didn't hear the broadcast, really,

697
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: I watched the condensed version back this morning. So you

698
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: don't hear a lot of the comments from Jason Witten

699
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: or or Booger McFarland. There was my ure saying, there

700
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: are quite a few towards the play calling, in the

701
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 1: approach running on first down that kind of thing, right, sure, Yeah,

702
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: and guess what they threw more on first down than

703
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: ran the ball on first down they did? Yeah, go

704
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: go let count them up. Zeke wasn't exactly having a

705
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: great day, so go count them up. How many yards

706
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: was that kid said, Zeke wasn't exactly having a great

707
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: day for several days this season. Two and sixty yards?

708
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: I think seventeen carries, one thirty run one thinks the

709
00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: seven yards hen yards total for catches maybe? I mean,

710
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't think in the second half he had he can't.

711
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm with you, but I'm not with you because he

712
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: had ninety six total yards at halftime. That's what I'm saying.

713
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: He was effective at half at halftime. How many possessions

714
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: do they have the second half? Four and three? I

715
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,479
Speaker 1: think the first three possessions they got twenty six. After

716
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: the miss field goal they had they had three plays

717
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: for minus ten right the first Okay, the first twenty

718
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: five minutes of the second half. This is when Tennessee

719
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,959
Speaker 1: won the game. As you all know from watching the game,

720
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee went from up to the point where Dallas got

721
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: the ball back with four thirty eight left in the game.

722
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: Down twenty eight to fourteen, Tennessee had twelve at an

723
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: advantage of twelve to two in first downs, and one

724
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six yards to forty one in the

725
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: second half. Are you down? Yeah, yeah, they got cowboy.

726
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean that's what the Cowboys like to do. Yep,

727
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: grind you down in the second half. But you look

728
00:37:55,719 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: at these first three drives out of four in the

729
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: second half. It was either a penalty, multiple penalties, or

730
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: sack that wrecked. You're down in distance and now you're

731
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: behind the chains to meet Ken that was that played

732
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: as much into it was Zeke as anything. Then they

733
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: got behind the scoreboard. Oh you got a gift with

734
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: a miss field goal. That's like a turnover. You get

735
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: him twenty would he missed twenty six yard field goals

736
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: like shorter than an extra point? Yeah, you're all in.

737
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: Couldn't block those guys, Yeah, So I mean the second half, no, yeah,

738
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 1: you go three. You go three plays and go minus ten. Yeah,

739
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: that on that series, on that sequence, you know he can't.

740
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: That's that's impossible. Yeah. And Zeke and the first half

741
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: had twelve carries forty five yards and three catches for

742
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: fifty one for ninety six total. Yeah. And then having

743
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: the second half the second half he sixtches, five carries

744
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 1: for sixteen yards and one catch for zero. Yeah. Six

745
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: touches in the second half. Yeah, it's not good. No,

746
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: it's not did you sell which one? But the first

747
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: two plays of the second half were Zeke runs. Yeah,

748
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: so he had four. After that, Zeke ran for six,

749
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: Zeke ran for one, and he hit Gallop for twenty

750
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: and then an incompletion and then Zeke for six of

751
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: his touches in the second half came in the first

752
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: five place. And then they threw under to Thompson for

753
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: six and then spots for a false start. So what

754
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? You're gonna get hand it to

755
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: Zeke You're third and thirteen. Yeah, and then you get

756
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: the fumble sack, right, and then so many six yard runs?

757
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: Why did they completely abandon that? Well? They okay, okay,

758
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: Then the next possession down twenty one to fourteen. Arguing

759
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: for that, I just saying, you want Zeke to be

760
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: more effective in this game? No, you do. And then

761
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: the next possession Zeke for three complete zero. After the completion,

762
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: it was a Cooper completion for nine. Now you're first

763
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: and ten Zeke plus zero. And then they got real

764
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: aggressive and through deep and he was incomplete right, And

765
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: now it's still at one possession game at twenty one

766
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: fo teen. Next time you get the ball and it

767
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: was Dak sack minus two completion to Zeke plus zero

768
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: and sack. But that's what I'm saying, minus ten on

769
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: that on the right, right, you got a gift and

770
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: then it's twenty eight fourteen, and you're you're in three

771
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: wide throwing the ball, trying to beat the clock because

772
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: now you got to score twice. Yeah, now you're out

773
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: of it's two minute offense. Did you see anything different

774
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: Brian watching it back white for the offensive line in

775
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: the second half. Did they do something defensively Tennessee to

776
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: get more pressure? Oh? They this. Now they ran their

777
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: twist stunts up front. That's so that's they got home more. Yeah,

778
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: they got home. They got guys home on that that's

779
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: what they're you know, I mean I when you sat

780
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: down and when you watch Tennessee, that's how they get pressure.

781
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: The fact that they got a lead and they were

782
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: able to they caught the Cowboys in some situations where

783
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: they just didn't handle it well enough. Sen some blitz

784
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: is too yeah, you know, and they they they're secondary.

785
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: It did a nice job, you know if you look

786
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: at it overall. I mean the pressure that Prescott faced

787
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: and he couldn't get the ball down the field or

788
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: it couldn't get it to an open guy. You know. Now,

789
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: the touchdown to Hearns was similar to what we saw

790
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: with the Chargers game, where yeah, guy just freezes. Yeah, Noah,

791
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: And you know, but thinking, okay, they can take advantage

792
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: of the secondary. That's what something we talked about during

793
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: the preparation for the week. Every time you watch somebody

794
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: played Tennessee, they get him on a double move or

795
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: they get him on a pass down the field. Right,

796
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: so you know that that kind of holds true. Now

797
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: the next person next time, but Tennessee's playing Houston or

798
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: something like that, Well, the Houston people look and say, oh, look,

799
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: they keep giving up touchdowns on double moves. And vertical

800
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: passes and stuff like that. So so that first possession

801
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, they're moving first and ten at

802
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: the forty five holding on Williams. Now it's first and

803
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: twenty and they picked up twelve on the first two plays,

804
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: and then you get a false start, so now it's

805
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: fifteen yards of penalty. Didn't snap the ball on that play.

806
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 1: They called it on Lyle coll I did to see

807
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: him move. He never snapped the ball. He never snapped.

808
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: Everybody moved, everybody but moving. But they called it on

809
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: They called it on Lyle Collins because he was the

810
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: guy exactly right. So if you go from third and eight,

811
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: you worked really hard to reduce it for third down,

812
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: and now it's third and thirteen and then you get

813
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: the act fumble. Yeah, so this team can't help itself offensively.

814
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: You're right, they really can't. You're right. I mean, we

815
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: say it should have been seventeen nothing in the first quarter. Well,

816
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: good offenses capitalized. Offenses that struggle don't, and so you know,

817
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: maybe we expected too much either, But you did have

818
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: a first and goal at the four yard line, and

819
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: I would have probably just ran my star running back

820
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: three times and gotten in the end zone. Really, I

821
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: know he had a minus plan the first time. Yeah,

822
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: minus two and I'll try again. Yeah, what was the

823
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: second play? Interception on a bad decision? Bad decision, no doubt.

824
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: You want your quarterback to be aggressive, you do, but

825
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: double coverage. Look he wanted he wanted that one back. Oh,

826
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 1: I know he did. That's just that's what happens when

827
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: you want your quarterback to be too aggressive. What's the

828
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: evaluation this quarterback? So far? Overall? Just overall, not not

829
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: this year, just overall. How about we come back with that? Okay, okay,

830
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: we need we're up against a break. We're going to

831

900
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: You're trying to get him, depending on we need an

901
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: upset right on the cusp, I might I might be

902
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 1: dead wrong about this, and I use got to lose.

903
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm usually I think that Oklahoma is the only team

904
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: that could beat Alabama because of their offense, because of

905
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: their offense, because their defense. That's what I'm saying. Though

906
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, right,

907
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. The only you got to get two

908
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: two to three stops, and you've got to and you

909
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: then you've got to turn around and turn those into points.

910
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: The only time Alabama ever struggles is when you spread

911
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: them out and you have a big time quarterback play

912
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: I got the only time I got. Ye. The only

913
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: time Alabama ever struggles is when they play Oklahoma. That's true. Yeah,

914
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 1: But if you try to play Alabama football against Alabama,

915
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: if you play toe to toe, they'll kill you exactly

916
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: the other night. Really, And the thing that Oklahoma has

917
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: is they've got a quarterback who can run the ball

918
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: on on busted plays, the Shawn Watson like you can do.

919
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: Why do you think Clemson gave him trouble? Exactly? Shaun

920
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: Watson should have beat him twice. Yeah, he should have

921
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: really beat him twice. Unfortunately, Nick Saban went out and

922
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 1: got himself the future number one pick in the draft

923
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: at quarterback, last thing he needed. So yeah, but thanks

924
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma's awful defense, they probably will not get a

925
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: shot at it because they need help. They need an

926
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 1: other Dame or Michigan loss. But a big ten teams

927
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: is going to be in regardless. Watch Ohio State that

928
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: that talking college truck. It's probably better than talking. Try

929
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,439
Speaker 1: trying to evaluate Dak and we're talking Oklahoma. That's okay.

930
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: Uh yeah. But the one thing is Michigan has yet

931
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: to be under the horriball administration to beat Ohio State.

932
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: So they got to even get that done first. Yeah,

933
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: they don't get that done. Good good night Michigan. Ever,

934
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: the other thing is Michigan might be the only team

935
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: that can hang with Alabama's offense. Right, can't score enough

936
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: point another case to have an eighteen tournament exactly, all right,

937
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 1: So let's evaluate dak Prescott, the owner, president and general manager,

938
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: on the radio this morning, said what when he was

939
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: asked to assess dak Ah, he said he's capable he's

940
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: completely capable of diagnosing what happened in this game, them

941
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: stakes that he made, and he's also capable physically of

942
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: going out and cleaning it up and playing better the

943
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: next ballgame. That's what Jerry has seen Dak do in

944
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: the past, and that's what he expects him to do

945
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: in the future. And then on the heels of that

946
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: is when he said that he will be extended. Here's

947
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: the deal they are with him. He needs to be perfect.

948
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: Can't make a mistake, thank you, Mickey, because they're not

949
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: good enough to overcome a mistake. Yeah, Troy Aikman ever

950
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: throw an interception in the end zone, I don't know,

951
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: maybe know he eat my Danny White throwing any receptions?

952
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: Lent the lot, right, But this guy's got to be

953
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: perfect for them to function offensively. And he's not a

954
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 1: perfect quarterback. No, that's the problem. And to me, and

955
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Mickey, I just cut you off there. I mean,

956
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just saying no. I mean it's like,

957
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: you know, look, even with the interception, what was his

958
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,720
Speaker 1: quarterback rating? It was almost one hundred. It was almost

959
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: one hundred. Yeah, right, Yeah, every quarterback doesn't complete every pass. Now,

960
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: there's some critical ones. It felt like he was and

961
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: what was his completion Yeah, he was twenty twenty nine

962
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: or something like that. Yeah, it was didn't had many many.

963
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: He was one nineteen point nine. Yeah, Dak was ninety nine.

964
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 1: What was his completions? What twenty one of twenty nine?

965
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,240
Speaker 1: Twenty one of twenty nine. Yeah, so scandages were almost

966
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: the same. Yeah, with some big plays down the field

967
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: to the big plays field for twenty eight yards to

968
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: the fifteen yard line. Was was it was a great

969
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: play dime me through thirty six yard or on the

970
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 1: second touchdown. I mean he made key throws and they

971
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: dialed up some They had some great play calls in

972
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: that game. The quarterback keeper on the RPO I think

973
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: on the first touchdown run it's a great call. Well, yeah,

974
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 1: they and then the Cowboys got caught. Vanderas got blocked

975
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: on that play. Yeah, they had a great call because

976
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: they had they had both ends on the slant and

977
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: they had that covered for the inside handoff and Jalen

978
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: got outside and Vanderas tried to get outside and then

979
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: the tackle Jack Jack Conklin got him enough of him

980
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: to knock him, and then that gave Marioda the path,

981
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 1: but they had a nice call with how they do it.

982
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: They had crash and scrape to try and make the play,

983
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: but Marioda was able to. Okay, that shovel pass he

984
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: had too was beautiful. I mean he's pulling that ball

985
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: out when I mean that was that was a great,

986
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: beautiful play. Nailed Was it Henry or Diana Lewis? I

987
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: can't remember which they nailed him, but he didn't have

988
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: the ball all right. In an evaluation of Dak Prescott

989
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: right now, yeah, after last night's game, Brian, what is

990
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: your evaluation of the Cowboys offensive line compared to the

991
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 1: Titans offensive line right now? Well, I'll tell you what.

992
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,439
Speaker 1: Going into the game, that's why I thought Dallas would

993
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: win because I thought Dallas's offensive line, even with all

994
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: the changes and stuff with the coaching, you know, I

995
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: felt like that Dallas was going to be more consistent,

996
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, being able to run the football and then

997
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: also passed to set some things up. But you know,

998
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,240
Speaker 1: it's it's been a struggle for It's been a struggle

999
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: for them all year. It's been a struggle to be consistent.

1000
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: They get penalties and things happen to them. And they

1001
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: get you know, they miss blocks, they don't communicate, there's

1002
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's there's a lot of things going on

1003
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,919
Speaker 1: with this offensive line. But if I go back to Dak,

1004
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: I think the worst thing that happened to Dak is

1005
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 1: he had the success he had his first year, because

1006
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: I think we're kind of seeing, not kind of. I

1007
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 1: believe that we're seeing what Dak Prescott really is. I

1008
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: think Dak Prescott's a good quarterback. I don't think he's

1009
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 1: a great quarterback. And Mickey's right, I think he has

1010
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: to be perfect, and I don't think he's perfect. It

1011
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,760
Speaker 1: was the offensive line two years ago as close, no pfect,

1012
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: and exactly everything lined up the worst. In my opinion,

1013
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: the worst thing that happened to Dak Prescott is that

1014
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: he got behind one of the best offensive lines in

1015
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: the league with one of the best young running backs

1016
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: in the league, and he had a slot player that

1017
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: was tremendous and that and he just wore out. He

1018
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: had guys like Jason Witten out there catching the football

1019
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: for him too. It's I think that was the best

1020
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: thing that happened to him. Yeah, and now the worst Yeah,

1021
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: and we and we look and we look and we say,

1022
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: you know why, but why? But why? We keep asking why?

1023
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: And maybe the why was you know what, though you

1024
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: caught him, you caught it right, you caught her. And

1025
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: that's but that goes again, goes where scouts go and

1026
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: they say, well, if you've seen it once, you'll see

1027
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: it again. And I think that we I think that

1028
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: we ask a lot of Dak Prescott, and I don't

1029
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 1: believe that Dak Prescott is always capable of delivering everything

1030
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 1: that we think he can deliver. There's so much to

1031
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,240
Speaker 1: like about Dak as your starting quarter tremendous. The toughness

1032
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 1: is incredible, he's the toughest hell. He fights, he'll take

1033
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: a hit, he leads the huddle, guys follow him. There's

1034
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 1: so much to like, a lot of intangible stuff. But

1035
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: I've said this many times, like to Brian's point, he's

1036
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: he's part of a large group of quarterbacks in the

1037
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: NFL that need help around them. And he had a

1038
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: damn near perfect supporting cast as a rookie. And it's

1039
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,240
Speaker 1: just a different it's a different dynamic, it's a different

1040
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: group right now. And uh, like you, like Mickey said,

1041
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: he's got to be perfect. He's not a perfect quarterback.

1042
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: He's gonna mis throws, he's gonna misreads, he's gonna fumbles. Yeah,

1043
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: and it's just a different We've got to stop comparing

1044
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 1: this to twenty sixteen. It's just a different group around him.

1045
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,959
Speaker 1: And uh, but that being said, and that's what Jerry sees.

1046
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: He still sees a guy that's capable of going out

1047
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: and winning a football game for you, and because he's

1048
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: seen it and he's done it this year. But I'm

1049
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out what happened from the Jacksonville

1050
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: game offensively when they put up forty points to now

1051
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: losing two straight games and you're back to just struggling

1052
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: its sustained drives. So I don't know what's happened since then,

1053
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: because is this the best defense they've played at home? Well,

1054
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: but again, this we've seen this on tape. We've seen

1055
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: this Tennessee defense. Big player, I was watching that. Yeah,

1056
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Maybe I don't know. I'm just asking.

1057
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: I think Jacksonville. I thought Jacksonville's defense was better. I

1058
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: think that that everything just came together, much like Dak

1059
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: Prescott's first year. Everything came together. They didn't make mistakes.

1060
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: They ran the football, they got out. They they played

1061
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: against the quarterback that was challenged. You know, if if

1062
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,919
Speaker 1: you know Bortles didn't play. If Bortles is another top pick,

1063
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: a very high pick, that it's kind of fumbled around

1064
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: in this league. Much like Marcus Mariota may may having

1065
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 1: a similar conversation on talking raiders with Derek Carr. Sure,

1066
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: great offensive line in front of him a couple of

1067
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: years ago, and now they're player already got hurt and

1068
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: they they weren't already extended him for a lot of money.

1069
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: There you go, There you go. I got one question,

1070
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: You got a minute, hurry up. I need to know

1071
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: what the rule is on offensive lineman downfield on screens? Yes,

1072
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: do they as long as the balls behind I think

1073
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: it's like a four or five yards five yards if

1074
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: it's a screen, Yeah, it's got to be behind the

1075
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: line though, Okay, and then the line judge misses out.

1076
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: At the college rule has always been that there wherever

1077
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: any they could be ten yards downfield strong as the

1078
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: passes behind them, right, Okay, I think they give them

1079
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 1: three or four yards or something. Mickey's right. Those guys

1080
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 1: will travel down they'll be in the safety box before

1081
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: you know it. Yeah, all right, for talking to cowboys.

1082
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: We'll talk at you again tomorrow. This has been a

1083
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,720
Speaker 1: production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys
