This is Mick Shot 3 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 4 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 5 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola and it's time for another week of 6 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: Mick Shots.

He's got the star on 8 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: his shirt, Everson in his Cardinal red as we kick on. 9 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: Oh no, that's do not say that. Please do not 10 00:00:53,800 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: say that's Grambling State, sir, Gramma, Yes, is Grambling T shirt. 11 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: All right, that's much more like it. I thought, I 12 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: thought the Cardinals made a believer out of your last 13 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: night or something there for a second, and not a 14 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: lot of people believing in the Cowboys right now after 15 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: what happened at at and T Stadium on Monday night. 16 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: But it is. It is Washington Football Team week at 17 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco. After we put this one to bed, 18 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: and Mickey, we need to put it to bed as 19 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: quickly as possible. No week. Yeah, it's a matter of fact. 20 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: Last night, during the game at some point. That sleep 21 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: number commercial came on and it showed Dak Prescott in 22 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: bed sleeping, and I said, yeah, that's a good place 23 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: to be, because the last place you want to be 24 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: is behind that offensive line trying to throw the football around. 25 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: You know my point on this one, And you know, 26 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: we talked about it last week when the Cowboys got 27 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: wiped out in their first Monday night football appearance by 28 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals nineteen seventy. They got beat thirty 29 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: eight to nothing, and we had talked about hitting rock 30 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: bottom because after that game they had lost two in 31 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: a row. I believe it was to the Giants and 32 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. They turned it around and didn't lose another 33 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: game until they lost Super Bowl five to Baltimore. So 34 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: I was thinking, well, maybe they've hit rock bottom. They 35 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 1: can't get any further down after losing to an Arizona 36 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: team that, by the way, didn't play all that well either. 37 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: That's the worst part about this team. About this game, 38 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: You know, this team could have been beaten. You lost 39 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: to a quarterback who completed nine passes nine passes for 40 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty eight yards, and one of those 41 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: asses was for eighty yards. So that's eight passes for 42 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and eight yards, and you got beat because 43 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: you gave up two hundred and sixty one yards rushing 44 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: and you did what, turn the ball over four times 45 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: and fell behind once again twenty one to nothing. I 46 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: think the problem that we have is one of the 47 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: problems we have. We want to We were ready to 48 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: concentrate on Dalton's ability to take him down the field. 49 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: How will he overcome his rusty play because we talked 50 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: last week, you're going to have to have an adjustment 51 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: between the receivers and the quarterback. This is something new. 52 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: You're having a different timing, different tendencies. That was one issue. 53 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: I was assuming that defensively we would not have the 54 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: issues that we have this week, the same ones we 55 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: had going all the way back to Week one. That's 56 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: the disappointing part. I was kind of prepared for the 57 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: offense to be rusty. I was prepared for Dalton to 58 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: be rusty. I was not prepared for Emma to keep 59 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: fumbling the upside, Zeke to keep fumbling the ball. And 60 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: I was also not prepared for the defense to just 61 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't It was not for lack of effort. We 62 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: still have the same lack of recognition. We still have 63 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: the same look of surprise on our faces defensively, whenever 64 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: a play is over, everyone's standing around like, Wow, how 65 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: did that happen. That's the that's the that's the consistent problem. 66 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: That's going to be our downfall. That's what we have 67 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: to fix up defensively. Yeah, that was the most disturbing 68 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: thing about last night, in my opinion, was what was 69 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: not happening on the defensive side of the ball. And 70 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head there. I think 71 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: as far as recognizing what you know, you know going 72 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: into the week, they were coached on the quarterback run, okay, 73 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: and the way that this quarterback can beat you and 74 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: move the chains, as he showed last night, is on 75 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: those quarterback runs, and they were not recognizing it. And 76 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: obviously you have to be able to recognize it because 77 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: if Kyler Murray gets a step on you, he's got 78 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: the corner and you got to play team defense in 79 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: order to contain a quarterback like him. He can't do 80 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: it with a spy on this Cowboys team. I can't 81 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: think of a defensive player who you could use as 82 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: a spy and would be able to keep up with him. 83 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: So it's got to be the ends being able to 84 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: set the edge. It's got to be aware that what 85 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: this Cardinals team is going to do in a third 86 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: and one situation, probably more than half the time, instead 87 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: of giving it to a running back up the mental 88 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: the quarterback is going to on a zone read or 89 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: on a bootleg is going to take it to the outside. 90 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: You have to be aware that that play is going 91 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: to happen or in all likelihood might happen. You know, 92 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: we talked last week, Everson talked about the secondary and 93 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: where people's eyes are. I don't think the guys on 94 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: this defensive line see anything. I mean, it was obvious 95 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: sometimes where the ball was going and no one was 96 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: looking in the middle of the line. It's got to 97 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: be better than that. And then when you're not holding 98 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: down the middle, your defensive ends start going, okay, well 99 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: I got to get in there and help out. And 100 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: then zip zip zip. There he goes fourth and one 101 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: for twelve yards. Like, who did they think was going 102 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: to carry the football? You know that was going to 103 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: be There were moments bags especially our boy at thirty seven, 104 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: Donovan is that his last name Wilson. Wilson. I saw 105 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: him try and plug a hole that was not there. 106 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: I believe that was on to touch the long touchdown run. 107 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: For some reason, he's sticking his head in there where 108 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: there is no crease for the running back to come through. 109 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: When you're a defensive back or a linebacker, you have 110 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: to read the line. As you're a running back, you 111 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: have to anticipate where that running back is going to 112 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: eventually expose himself and you have to be there to 113 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: meet him in the hole. For some reason, this guy 114 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: comes up, he sticks his head and there gets caught 115 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: in the wash, totally caught up in the wash to 116 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: the right of the play. The hole is to the left. 117 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: He's untouched. That hole was four number three seven to 118 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: fill plays like that that because the possibly been a 119 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: seven six yard game ends up being in what eighty 120 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. These small things lead to big proper 121 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: and I pick him out because when you are safety, 122 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: you are the last resort and you must remember that. 123 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: As a safety, the responsibility is so huge. You can 124 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: stop a potential touchdown or you can give up one 125 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,119 Speaker 1: of the biggest players of the night to really close 126 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: the door on you. So well, these are the consistent problems. 127 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: Were the consistent inconsistencies that we've had in this secondary. 128 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: The front seven been up and down, the secondary has 129 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: always been down, and that needs to change now. Ever 130 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: since along those lines, you're talking about the last touchdown 131 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: that put it away with two minutes left in the 132 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: game at thirty eight to ten, I'll take you back 133 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: to the fourth and one play with the score scoreless 134 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: early in the second quarter, and the Cardinals have the 135 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: football at the Cowboy eighteen yard line, and that's when 136 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray ran the bootleg and done Wilson was. He 137 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: was a safety on the side of the field that 138 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: the bootleg went and he on that play got caught 139 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: up in the wash. He has the athleticism that he 140 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: might have been able to stop Kyler Murray on the 141 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: edge or at least turned him turned him back in 142 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: for his teammates to make the tackle, but he got 143 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: caught up in the wash, and it was his clear 144 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: sailing to the outside. That was me an untrained eye 145 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: just looking at that, but but that was that reminded 146 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: me of it when I went back and looked at 147 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: it this morning, that that was a particular play, a 148 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: huge play in that game where it looked to me like, 149 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: if if Wilson could have got to the outside, he's 150 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: got enough speed to contain Kyler a little bit and 151 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: he might have got some help and they might even 152 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: not gotten first down. Hey, this is this is coming 153 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: from a non athletic, non speed guy right here. If 154 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: you you can have all the athletic ability in the world, 155 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys came up with this computer workout to gauge 156 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: a kind of athlete you're going to be signing. You 157 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: can have all the speed in the world, you can 158 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: have all the agility in the world. If you have 159 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: no recognition, it doesn't do you any good. If you 160 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: have zero recognition, you're always going to be a step 161 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: behind players like myself, players like Michael Downs. Recognition was 162 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: there so were we had a step on our opponent. 163 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: If you don't recognize anything, then you're always going to 164 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: be chasing behind players you're in the entire game, not 165 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: just as an individual, but your team itself. No team recognition, 166 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: you will always be playing from behind. That's what we're 167 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: looking at, guys. And I thought along the lines of 168 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: the defense again. When we're talking about the defense, you 169 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: know early in the third quarter when the Cardinals got 170 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: the ball after the controversial Drake Kirkpatrick interception and Mickey, 171 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's ready to go off on we got holed, 172 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: We got hold that entire drive, that entire drive. But 173 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: the disappointing thing on that is the Cardinals come back 174 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: and rip off a twenty two yard run, a twenty 175 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: yard run and they, you know, they drive it down 176 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: the defense's throat for seventy nine yards at nine plays, 177 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: and it wasn't like the defense was tired at that point. 178 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: They had literally been on the field. Of course, we 179 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: had a halftime in there too. They had been on 180 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: the field for one play in the last thirteen minutes 181 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: of the ballgame, which was the eighty yard touchdown pass 182 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: to Christian kirk That was the one time that they 183 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: were on the field outside of a kneel down at 184 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: the end of the first half, since the ten minute 185 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: mark of the second quarter. And the Cardinals take over 186 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: with twelve minutes left in the third quarter, and they 187 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: just drove her right down the field on him. I mean, 188 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: it was inexcusable and and this is my pet peeve 189 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: on the complaints afterwards about the turnovers, right I get it. 190 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: They turned the ball over four times, but just because 191 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: you turned the ball over doesn't mean the defense has 192 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: got to let them drive the field and score one 193 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 1: of those. Only one of those turnovers should have led 194 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: to a short drive touchdown, and it was dak a 195 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: Zeke's second fumble. They recovered at the Dallas twenty seven 196 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: yard line, so all they had to do was drive 197 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: twenty seven yards. The first turnover, they got the ball 198 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: at their own forty six. They drove fifty four yards. 199 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: The first interception they drove seventy nine yards, and the 200 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: third interception they got the ball at the Arizona ten, 201 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: and they drove ninety yards to get a well what 202 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: not less than ninety They ended up with a field goal. 203 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: So you don't I understand, You know, the sudden change 204 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: and the adversity of turnover. You shorten your own possession, 205 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: but the defense can maybe hold him to a field 206 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: goal like once in a while. So once again this 207 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: defense gives up two hundred and sixty was a two 208 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: sixty one yards rushing high goodness after a three h 209 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: seven two weeks ago. They just got no clue up 210 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: front what they're doing, and they're wasting snaps on players 211 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: who are doing nothing. You know that. They finally called 212 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: up We talked about it. They were going to call 213 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: up Justin Hamilton, and he got in. He played. He 214 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: played nineteen snaps. He had three tackles. Don Terry Poe 215 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: for the second game in a row, zeroed out, no 216 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: solo tackles, no assistant tackles, no quarterback pressures. I could 217 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: go out and do that. I could get hurt, but 218 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: I could do that. So at some point they got 219 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: to start using maybe different guys. Maybe you got to 220 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: work some different offensive lineman in there. And it wasn't 221 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: like always on the offensive line getting physically beat. There 222 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: was no recognition on blitzes coming at him. It was like, Okay, 223 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna blitz I can see it. You know, somebody's 224 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: got to pick that guy up. Now. If you got 225 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: to leave a running back in all the time, then 226 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: you gotta do it. If you got to play two 227 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: tight ends and help those tackles out, you gotta do it. 228 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: And then what's the worst thing that can happen? The 229 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: only guy with any experience on that offensive line, Zach Martin, 230 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: he gets knocked out of the game going he was 231 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: down in Zeke's knee, hits him in the head, and 232 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: now he's in concussion protocol. So now you've got four 233 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: guys on the offense of line that we're nowhere near 234 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: starting this year trying to block a team that ended 235 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: up with a twenty one point lead. Oh, they're just 236 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: gonna come at you. What have they got to lose? 237 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: And they got overwhelmed for Andy Dalton should have got 238 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: combat pain. Oh my goodness. Well and yeah, and you 239 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: listen to U. Troy Aikman was on the radio this 240 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: morning and he actually had he had a good comment 241 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: about the injuries and the offensive line, and it was 242 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: this way he said, when when he played, everyone talked 243 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: about for six days of the week, they talk about 244 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: the injuries on the offensive line and how are you 245 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: going to be able to patch it together? Who you 246 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: don't have enough players to play? But then one Sunday 247 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: comes or in this case, Monday night comes, Then how 248 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: come you can't do anything on offense? How can you? 249 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: How come you can't throw downfield? Well, it's because you've 250 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: got basically four rookies on your offensive line. Went once 251 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: Zack Martin went out, I mean, coming into this season, 252 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: in Brandon Knight, Terrence Steele, Tyler Biadas, and Connor McGovern. 253 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: They had a grand total of zero NFL starts coming 254 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: into this season. So the one veteran hand you had 255 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: in there was your left guard. Connor Williams is in 256 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: his third year in the league. Now, having said that, 257 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: there are a number of NFL teams going through the 258 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: exact same thing this season, and in the Cowboys owned 259 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: division in the NFC East, where the Eagles are down 260 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: six basically six starters on their offensive line, and just 261 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys were last night. And so the good 262 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: thing for the Cowboys, of course, is that they play 263 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: in the NFC East. That's the saving grace. Still good place, 264 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: still still in first place at two and four, and 265 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: they've got the Washington Football team and the Eagles the 266 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: next two weeks, and they need to take care of 267 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: business the next two weeks to get back to five hundred, 268 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: and they could still be running away with the NFC's 269 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: Mickey and when and when we come back from break, 270 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: we have a choice cut SoundBite from Jerry Jones on 271 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: that exact topic.

And certainly 337 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: then if s East is having his challenges right now, 338 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: all of that is a way of not wanting to 339 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: talk about other teams when you're not playing any better 340 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: than we are. It's hard for me to basically look 341 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: to the end game, which is to win the East, 342 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: and get excited about the fact that we're better than anybody. 343 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: So we may be slow, but we're ahead of you, syndrome. 344 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: We've got to get better to have the kind of 345 00:21:51,520 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: season that makes sense for us. We might be slow, 346 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: but we're ahead of you syndrome. That would correct me up. 347 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: But he's right right, He didn't say we might be bad, 348 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: but we're not as bad as you guys are. Um, 349 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: it's no consolation, especially as he said, if we want 350 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: to have the kind of season that makes sense to us. 351 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: And you know he started that off and I'm not 352 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: sure if it caught this. But he goes but I'm 353 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: not in a feel good mood frankly, so yeah he was. 354 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: He was not happy and and no nobody should be happy, right, 355 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: uh you know, and and we can't so this game. 356 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: You know, last time they got run like this against Cleveland, 357 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: it was all about the effort, right, Well, no one's 358 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: talking about effort this time, right talking about turnovers? Well, 359 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: I talked, you told you about the turnovers. Yeah, you 360 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: short your possession, but you don't have to let him score. 361 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: I mean it was just to me. And I'll go 362 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: back to what I said when we opened the show. 363 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: They better hope this is rock bottom, because if it 364 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: gets worse than this, it's gonna get ugly. You know, 365 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: I think everyone's everyone has good intentions. We've seen that. 366 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: I'm sure you could just be inside Zeke's heads before 367 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: the game and probably understand that he's thinking, Okay, O, boy, 368 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: Dak is down. The load comes on me. I'm gonna 369 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: carry that load. I'm gonna be that guy to step up. 370 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: I need to have Andy Dalton's back. Let's go. Old 371 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: line just opened up those holes for me, and let's 372 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,719 Speaker 1: take this conservative route. I will I will carry that 373 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: burden on my shoulders. And he just kind of pressed 374 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: himself into a couple of turnovers. And you know, when 375 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: you start seeing the same thing happened weekend week out, 376 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: even though your mindset is different, you think your mindsets different. 377 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go into this game and I am not 378 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: gonna do what I've been doing, and then you go 379 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: out there and do it anyway, it's gotta be disheartening. 380 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: It's almost like you start to doubt yourself. And I 381 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: was glad. I knew they wasn't gonna do it, but 382 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: I was just so glad that just for the future 383 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: that they kept him in the game, kept z you know, 384 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: in tuned in the game. They put Polo in a 385 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: little bit afterwards, but they kept Zeke in tuned to where, Okay, 386 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: you're still that guy. You know, you're still going to 387 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: be our horse for the rest of the season. But man, 388 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: it was just so tough to see him go through 389 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: that and wonder mentally, what's in his head, Like, damn, 390 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: can I just stop doing this? You know, that's a 391 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: tough thing. That's a tough thing as a professor player, 392 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: and as you saw when they were tackling him. They 393 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: were going for the ball. It wasn't almost like they 394 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: were worried about getting him on the ground. They were 395 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: reaching for the ball, especially on the second one. The 396 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: first one kind of goofy play right. Pressure gets to Dalton, 397 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: he steps up at the last second, he throws a 398 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: little shovel past the z He catches it, turns and 399 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: he leaves the ball out here and he gets hit 400 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: from behind. He's got to be up here. He knows 401 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: that he can't get sloppy. But again, I think you're right, Everson. 402 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: He's trying so hard to make up for what they 403 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: don't do. It's becoming counterproductive because he's trying so hard. 404 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: He's not taking care of the things he needs to 405 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: take care of. But I knew. I do think if 406 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: you credit the Cardinals for both those forced fumbles, I mean, 407 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: those are playmakers on that Cardinals defense that forced the 408 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: turnovers of the two bumbles. I mean Buddha Baker, he 409 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: was very aware of what was going on and he 410 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: knew that that. In fact, there was a comment from 411 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: from Buddha after the game last night. Apparently Andy was 412 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: Zeke did not see or had fallen down. I can't 413 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: remember exactly and was just got back up and he 414 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: did not see that Andy had broken out of the pocket. 415 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: So Andy was yelling Zeke like he was going to 416 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: throw him the ball. Buddha heard that came from behind 417 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: and he had it measured to swipe and knock the 418 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: ball out. Jordan Phillips on the other Zeke fumble, I mean, 419 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: he's a massive human being and he was in position 420 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: to make the tackle at the same time rip the 421 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: ball out. First off, the Cowboys defense. If the Cowboys 422 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: are going to get some turnovers, they got to be 423 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: in position to make the plays, much less knock the 424 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: ball out. And so I think you get credit for 425 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: the Cardinals on defense. They've got some some heady playmakers 426 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: on their defense that made critical plays in the game. Oh. Absolutely, 427 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: And it's it's hard for you to concentrate on ripping 428 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: a ball out when you're giving up seven and a 429 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: half yards per run. You know you're desperate to make 430 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: a tackle. Yeah, when you're trailing the play, yes, absolutely, 431 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: So Yeah, defense not good. Offensive line not good. Did 432 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: you ever see an uglier field goal attempt? By the way, 433 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 1: and I know it was what fifty eight yards should 434 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: have gone for? It should have gambled three points. Weren't 435 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: going to help you out at that point. I used 436 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: to it was an old baseball term. When you hit 437 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: a ball like that and it nosed dives, they used 438 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: to call it a duck snort. And this went. I mean, 439 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: he leaned back like he was very Barns or something. 440 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: On the home run. It's like he puts so much 441 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: into it. You know. That was one of those golf 442 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: shots where they tell you to keep your head down. No, 443 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: he totally flailed almost on that kig. It didn't look 444 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: good as as soon as it came off his feet. 445 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what think about this. You're the coaching staff, 446 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: where do you start on this tomorrow? No, you get 447 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: rid of this video. You don't even watch it? Just 448 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: go right, yeah, yeah, just burn it. Let the coaches 449 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: look at it, realize what they have to do and 450 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: what they think they can correct. Get rid of that thing. 451 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even Tom Lamgee was good at that. There 452 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: were certain games where he said, you know what, guys, 453 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: this won't do us any good to watch this now. 454 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: I might say that it might be because he may 455 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: have called a horrible game as well, so that may 456 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: have covered his own ass. But when it does you 457 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: no good to look at something like this, you just 458 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: move on and understand what it's about. First of all, 459 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: it's about a new quarterback. As good as he looked 460 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: in the last part of the game before this one, 461 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: we led us on the comeback against the Giants. You're 462 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: still you have to you have to regroup. Now you're 463 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: gonna be game planned as a quarterback, and that's what 464 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: the Cardinals were able to do. We talked doing the 465 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: brakes bags. I've never seen this Cardinal secondary place so well. 466 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: They were all over the place. It's like they had 467 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: twelve thirteen guys out there. And I know our receivers 468 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: can beat these guys all day long, but for some reason, 469 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: they game plan the so well. There were moments when 470 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: they were already waiting on our receivers to finish their routes. 471 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: They were all they had run the route for them. 472 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: And I talked earlier about how they got screwed doing 473 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: one particular drive, especially the drive with Ceedee Lamb getting 474 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: knocked down. The guy gets you interception pretty the obvious play. 475 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,479 Speaker 1: I don't even you know. There are times when I 476 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,719 Speaker 1: think referees or I probably should be fine. That's one 477 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: of those players where look, guy, you gotta get demoted. 478 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: You missed that obvious call. And there were the calls 479 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: that weren't made as well, And I know it sounds 480 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: like belly aching players being held during running plays. Clearly 481 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: you can see the the old lineman was grabbing out 482 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: a guy trying to escape. Talking about Donovan Wilson, he 483 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: tried to get off a block on the goal line. 484 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: The guy just grabbed him and there was no call 485 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: he was he could have actually made the tempt on 486 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: the play. I saw three plays, three missed calls right 487 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: before or after the CD Lamb no call as well. 488 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: Just sometimes he's just, you know, referees getting lazy to 489 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: any Let me tell you about this this Cardinal secondary, 490 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: because you know, we talked a lot about the Cowboys 491 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: wide receivers and Amari Cooper was the fourth pick in 492 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: the draft. CD Lamb was the first mid first round 493 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: draft pick, Michael Gallup a third round pick. But if 494 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: you look at the Cardinals secondary, they've got Patrick Peterson, 495 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: at eight time Pro bowler at one quarterback position who 496 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: was the fifth pick in the draft. Buddha Baker was 497 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: early second round pick. Thirty sixth overall. He's made the 498 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl twice. This Byron Murphy, number thirty three. He 499 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: was the thirty third pick in the draft. He was 500 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: nearly a first round draft pick. Drake Kirkpatrick was a 501 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: first round pick of the Bengals several years ago. I mean, 502 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: they have invested in their secondary. There's a reason that 503 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: these guys were high draft picks, and they showed up 504 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: in last night's game. And so if I think if 505 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: you make an investment in that secondary, then if you 506 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: make an investment in playmakers, typically playmakers will make plays 507 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: for you. They got the best of the Cowboys and 508 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: last night's game against the wide against the Cowboy receivers, 509 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: the strength of the Cowboys team, and a lot of 510 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: that had to do with the fact that, you know, 511 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: you got a collapsing pocket around Andy Dalton, and when 512 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: you've got a good secondary and there's not a lot 513 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: open there, it's it's not going to play to your 514 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: benefit when you've got you know, basically four starters out 515 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: on your offensive line. But think about this, and they 516 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: did it again the last possession of the second quarter, 517 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: the first possession of the third quarter, Michael Gallop after 518 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: making two unbelievable catches last week. Drops a touchdown pass. Man, 519 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: you're down twenty one to nothing, right, that could make 520 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: a twenty one to seven. You end up with a 521 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: field goal, and then the first possession of the third 522 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: quarter you defer, you get the ball and that's when 523 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: Drake Kirkpatrick just drags he mugged Cede Lamb and it 524 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: turns into an interception. If and they were moving right 525 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: they were, that was that was like a twenty yard 526 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: pass that took place around the twenty twenty two yard line. 527 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: Those two possessions could have made it twenty one fourteen. 528 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: But now they take that possession drive seventy nine yards 529 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's it's third. It's twenty 530 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: eight to three and basically games over. And then let 531 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: me take that a step further, Micky, because we talk 532 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: about it, well, you just throw the tape out and 533 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: don't show him this. But literally, there are certain key 534 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: situations in that game last night where if the Cowboys 535 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: make the play, the Cardinals are kept off the board, 536 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: and a lot of it was the quarterback run on 537 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: the first touchdown drive of the game for Arizona. They 538 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: started their possession with two thirty six left in the 539 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: first quarter. They faced a third and ten at the 540 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: forty six third and ten and Murray gets out for 541 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: a ten yard run in a first down. Okay, they're 542 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: punting if you just contain the quarterback there, didn't they 543 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: come down where the fourth and one. They decide to 544 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: go for it on fourth and one at the eighteen 545 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: yard line, and that was the Murray bootleg for eleven 546 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: yards in a first down, all right, that leads to 547 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: a touchdown. And then on their next possession, you got 548 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: this was after the Zeke fumble. They take over at 549 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: the twenty seven yard line. You got him stopped with 550 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: a third and eleven, and you play soft coverage on 551 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald on the outside. He got the call from 552 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: the official. It didn't look like to me like he 553 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: got the first down, but they would have gone for 554 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: it anyway on four was that was just oh my god, 555 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: that's still regardless, oh man, regardless it was soft coverage. 556 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: He gets eleven yards, he gets the first down, and 557 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: on the next play there goes the quarterback again for 558 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: sixteen yards all the way to the goal line. There. 559 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,240 Speaker 1: I decided three quarterback run plays, and you knew coming 560 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: into the week. The focus is on this quarterback's ability 561 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: to run the football. He leads the NFL and yards 562 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: per carry and they are design runs. They are not scrambles. Yeah. 563 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: And on that third and eleven play, well, what kind 564 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:41,720 Speaker 1: of defensive Yeah, now that was that was the DB's choice. 565 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: It was totally man to man. The call itself and 566 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: the huddle. He has the option on how to play it. 567 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: You know, you have to know as a veteran player, 568 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: that was Noah Noah Brown? Was that Brown on the 569 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: on the coverage on that play? Anthony Brown? Aside Anthony 570 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 1: Brown on that play he runs a four zero and 571 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: he's off of a big tight end guy. We talked 572 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: about that with Fitzgerald, whose way past his prime. Just 573 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: a solid player and you're gonna give up a sideline. 574 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: You should have been all over that guy. Those are 575 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: the moments, guys, while I talk about a good defensive 576 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: back says this is the time. And by the way, 577 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: the Cowboys were in a package that they ran in 578 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: last night's game where they had seven dbs on the 579 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: field on that play.

All right, we got final a 622 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 1: few minutes here of mix shots. Mickey, I got a 623 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: question for you, what did you see the rotation as 624 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: at cornerback for the Cowboys last night, because it looked 625 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 1: at me like Daryl Whorley started the game at one 626 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: cornerback spot was in for a couple of three series. 627 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: Then Anthony Brown was in at cornerback for several series 628 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,959 Speaker 1: in a row. It was interesting. I was just looking 629 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 1: back at my play by play and you know Brown, 630 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: we were just talking about the Larry Fitzgerald third and 631 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: eleven reception that led to a touchdown. Next time the 632 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys were on the field, Anthony Brown was not out 633 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: there and Daryl Whorley was back at corner and Whorley 634 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: gave up the eighty yard touchdown to Christian Kirk on 635 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: the very shot. You know, wor Worley only played twenty 636 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: one snaps. Anthony Brown played forty nine, so he was 637 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: out there for the majority of the snaps along with 638 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs in your Right Bill. Not only did they 639 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 1: play dime, there were times that they were using Jalen 640 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: Smith as one of the rushing four four guys on 641 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and then basically had all dbs 642 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: out there trying to confuse him. And it did except 643 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: for I don't know Everson did Worly get confused, because 644 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: how do you get beat that bad? Did he think? 645 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: You know? Somebody said they were in zone, Well they 646 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: really weren't, because they had three wide receivers down the field. 647 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: The corner to the Cowboys right had one guy covered, 648 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: the safety picked up the guy down the slot. There 649 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: was no one to give him help. In a zone. 650 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 1: He had to be in man and he gives up 651 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: an eighty yard touchdown pass. And you know, I could 652 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter man or zone. He really doesn't. If 653 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: you're supposed to be dep no one gets behind you. 654 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's all of this to it. His technique, 655 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: it was what it didn't It was non existent. He 656 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: he didn't touch him, he didn't play flat, he didn't 657 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: play dep You know, everything that you saw about it, 658 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: I think he was It seemed to be as if 659 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 1: he just had a brain lock, really, because his feet 660 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: stopped moving. It seemed as if he didn't realize that 661 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: this guy was coming at him so quickly. You know, 662 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: when when a receiver closes that gap on you, you're 663 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: at that receiver's mercy as a defensive back, and you 664 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: know initially what you must do. It's okay to panic, 665 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: because panic will make you turn and run. He just 666 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: stayed there, and I know, I know that that was 667 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: not the correct responsibility for him. There's no way he's 668 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: supposed to play that technique and let a guy get 669 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: up on him that fast, that quickly, and also just 670 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 1: get by him. It's almost as if he just gave 671 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: up as soon as the guy closed the gap on him. 672 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: It's just those are the kind of things where you know, 673 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 1: it makes me go off on my little rants about 674 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: and Bill said it. The Cardinals chose to invest in 675 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: a secondary Peterson has been there for quite some time. 676 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: They've given Peterson support with other quality defensive backs because 677 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: that is your last line of defense. I don't care 678 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: how good how well your d lines playing, I don't 679 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: care how well your linebackers stopped to run. Eventually you're 680 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: going to have to cover depasses. You're going to have 681 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: to protect your end zone. We haven't done that for years. 682 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: The low priority we have on defensive backs is embarrassing. 683 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: I've talked about it before. It is necessary for us 684 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,399 Speaker 1: to change the culture here. I don't know if they're 685 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: gonna do it with Mike Nolan, I really don't. He's 686 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 1: never shown as a defensive coordinator to be successful in 687 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: that manner. I was hoping that when you came here 688 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 1: that this would be the difference. So far, it's gotten 689 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: even worse than any defense Mike Nolan's ever had. And 690 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,800 Speaker 1: that's saying a lot, you know. And if you're a 691 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 1: student of the game, which what is Christian Kirk's calling 692 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: Kurt his speed, right, they're gonna send him on a 693 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: nine route, you got you gotta be prepared for that. 694 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: You can't fall asleep. And they had three nine rounds 695 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: on that one play. Yeah, they get the safety to 696 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 1: say go to Isabella instead. Yeah. Well, not just that, 697 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 1: they showed that we're going to come deep, We're going 698 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 1: to go at you, and that's your secondary. From the 699 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,479 Speaker 1: beginning of the ball game, they showed them what they're 700 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: gonna do, and for some reason, we were tone deaf 701 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 1: to all of that jompious lay something that they had 702 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: seen with the Cowboys secondary. Maybe they do it every week. 703 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, but they came out that they were 704 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: going to take deep shuts down the field and they 705 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,840 Speaker 1: finally hit on one, and they barely did. Murray almost 706 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: overthrew them man only because of speed he was able 707 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: to run that ball down. That's right. I mean they 708 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: did on the first third down right, they went to Isabella. Yeah, 709 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: so at that point, if you're a defensive bat, okay, 710 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: I see what your calling card is. I'll be prepared 711 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: for that. You can catch all the stuff in front 712 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: of all you want. It's not going to lead to 713 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 1: a quick six. The priority for you is to keep 714 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 1: things under control. In that secondary coach Eddie Robinson, Glambling 715 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: State University, all he ever said was don't give up 716 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: the quick six. That's something that was beaten into my 717 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: head my entire career, starting in college. And it's a 718 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,879 Speaker 1: It's a good mantra to have because that way you 719 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 1: know that you will always be in the ball game 720 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 1: because the ends one is protected. Mickey, you're a very 721 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 1: studious there. You're looking up something. No, I was just 722 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 1: looking at the eight minute or so left. I want 723 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 1: to give you time to get something off your mind. 724 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 1: I was I was looking to see if they had 725 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: any more deep throws like that. Look, so the turnover 726 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 1: ratio Cowboys are minus twelve, the next worst team minus seven. 727 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 1: They're they're five more in the turnover ratio differential than 728 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: any other team. They've given up two hundred and eighteen points. 729 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: That's twenty six more than the next team that's given 730 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: up one hundred and ninety two Minnesota, Cleveland one hundred 731 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: and eighty seven, the Jets one eighty two, Jacksonville one 732 00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 1: eighty one. But here come the Cowboys two eighteen. Um. 733 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: How those other teams doing you mentioned the minute you 734 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 1: mentioned the Vikings, the Jets, and the Jags. Where Morrows 735 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,479 Speaker 1: that you mentioned, and Cleveland's the only team that has 736 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,839 Speaker 1: whether they have they have three wins or four, well 737 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 1: on the one of the one of the wins was 738 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,320 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. So yeah, right, so hey, let's just 739 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 1: remember what we have over all of those teams is 740 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 1: first place standing. That's right. You know. Another thing that 741 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 1: we have over there might be slow, but I'm not 742 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,719 Speaker 1: as slow as you are, you know, another thing we 743 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,879 Speaker 1: have on those other teams. We have mix shots, right, 744 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: We have mix shots, and we got more mix shots 745 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,919 Speaker 1: tomorrow at one thirty as we try to figure out 746 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 1: what went wrong this time and what will go right 747 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: against the Washington football team. Sunday is fast approaching, and 748 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 1: we'll see you again tomorrow here on mix Shots, Go Cowboys. 749 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 1: This is been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 750 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
