So I don't get talked Jesse, Jesse, 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:51.720 I don't get to talk to Barry this week. But 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:53.560 you know how Barry is about these things. He's got 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.400 these these these these I believe this and I'm gonna 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.160 stand on it. And I didn't get a chance to 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.560 talk to him because I was doing baseball. But It's okay. 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:01.319 Craig not here. 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.840 Heck move was on the last show, Jesse Holly, former 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:07.560 Cowboy player, Harrison Walls, former Cowboy player Justin Barris is here. 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.840 I'm merely new Scrutch. So this media mash is Uh, 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.240 this this mash of new media here as we do 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.520 the players lounge just for this bye week that's coming 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.759 up here. I'll just go around the table here since 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:26.479 we haven't had a chance to just talk at all. 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.920 Your impressions of the Monday night win against the Chargers. 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.520 I think there's still a term from Dan Quinn gritty 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.400 but not pretty. It was a gritty but not pretty win. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.800 This is more realistic than what this is, what the 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.600 brand of football and how you win football games. Monday 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.640 night was more realistic than what you saw even in 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.000 the even like even in their blowout loss to the Niners, 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.120 that's not realistic. Football doesn't happen like that, the blowout 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.200 wins against the Giants and the Jets. Football didn't happen 0:01:58.280 --> 0:01:59.960 like that weekend and week out. I think this was 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.919 more of a realistic understanding of how football is being played, 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.240 and the team went out there, uh and got a 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.880 gritty victory that they needed. You saw the reactions that 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.280 they got. You saw Dak was like, thank you. Mike 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:17.080 McCarthy was like, yeah, like you saw. You saw those guys, 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.919 the desperation in that celebration of those guys getting that victory. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.600 They knew what it was if you lose two games 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.640 in a row heading to the bye week, losing to 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.520 that team so gritty but not pretty. We'll take it 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:28.760 four and too heading into the bye week. 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.680 I'll take it gritty. I love gritty. Let me see this, 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:37.320 and you know I'm too old for this. Anyway. I 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.960 enjoy a gritty game. This is a team that needs 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.880 to win more gritty games. You know what, we're front runners. 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:47.799 Let's just say, that's what they call us all over 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.840 the country anytime we come from a tough team. You know, 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.239 all of a sudden, we got these problems. All you 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.400 got the injury here there. You know, we're like a 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.639 little you know, manicure is not quite right the way 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.359 you want it to be. Hey man, I see yeah, 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.560 you know what I'm saying over inside of the table. 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:11.680 But anyway, anyway, no, no, but this is the kind 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.680 of game that we needed to win. This is the 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.040 kind of team we need to be. I really don't 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:20.960 like the fluff. I don't like the blowouts necessarily, because 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.679 there's always a moment theater where this game could have 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.240 gone either way ends up being a blowout. I won 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.200 the game. What we just had the other night to 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:32.320 where everything was against us. It was and it wasn't 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.600 pretty at all. I love gritty. This is the kind 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.200 of team that needs to be gritty. I always compare 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.320 what I want for this team to what we are. 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:45.240 I always compares to the Ravens, the Titans. They'll go 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.360 out and win some crazy game. You know how the 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:49.640 hell they win that game. I don't know how they 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.760 won the game. This is the kind of team I want. 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.120 How they win the game? Man, they they had cohoners, 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.360 That's how they won the game. That's the kind of 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.440 team I want. Just what and that's what they want 0:03:59.440 --> 0:03:59.880 mother night. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.440 Yeah, I think it's a good starting point. And I 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.120 say starting point because yes, you're six weeks in now, 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.360 but it gives you a good indication that this team 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.560 isn't gonna peak out week five of the season, which 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.760 you're starting to see some things fizzle out a little 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.120 bit with other teams like the forty nine Ers, the Eagles, 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.000 no more undefeated teams. I would rather have a starting 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.960 point of where to work to get better than to say, oh, 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:23.800 we're five weeks in, we're on top of the world. 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.919 There's nothing left to work on. Everything's so good and 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.000 then you start to see the fizzle out, especially with 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.960 the back end of this schedule that the Cowboys have. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:37.720 So for me, I like where the team is at. However, 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:42.000 there's a lot of room for improvement. Those pre snap penalties, wow, 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.040 that IRGs and we can talk about that a little later. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.400 But I like where they're at. I like the determination. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.720 I like the resilience that they showed in this game. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.040 But more than anything, what I really like is you're 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.680 starting to possibly see the offense get their footing, and 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.000 I think that's they need a matchup with the defense. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.120 They need to level out there. 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:06.000 So I remember, now he is the only gritty person here, 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:13.120 you see, everyone else has. 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:14.560 New He's like what I'm from, the from the jungle. 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:18.160 Is what it is. 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.840 I remember being in the locker room after forty nine 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:27.640 or loss and Tyler Smith said we must respond to 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.880 this and we will respond. So that stayed in my 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:35.920 mind because I thought he was after after a getting punched. 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:36.200 In his mouth. 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.640 I thought Mike could talked with a lot of pride. 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:40.480 CD was frustrated. 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.960 I thought I was kind of came with the we 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.039 have to respond and that, so I took his comments 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:46.719 like that's the one I'm going to key on this week, 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.400 and that was what I thought. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.920 They did. Respond, Okay, you got. 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.360 Embarrassed on national television. You're right back on national television. 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.520 What are you going to do? This is a good quarterback. 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.599 Here is an offensive coordinator who knows what you do. Yes, 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.919 there's a head coach who's supposed to be a guru defensively, 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.480 and they responded defensively. And this was you know, by 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.520 the way, this was the score they had the last 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.920 time they went out there, and zerline ended up kicking 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.039 the game winning field goal to win until twenty to 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:21.159 seventeen wins. So this is as you two well know 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.279 from play, it is not easy to win on the road. 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.320 This is not college football. That's where sometimes I think 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.240 cowboy fan gets into it, like it beat them by 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.839 so so this is not college football. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.279 Get a win and go home. 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.480 And it came down to the end as it's supposed 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.000 to in most games in the National Football League. You 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.440 look at the early lines are usually you know three. 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.159 I mean, it's not going to be easy, and it wasn't. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.480 It wasn't, so they went out there they got to win. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.520 I don't think the charge is gonna make the playoffs. 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:54.839 I just think they're coaches. I don't think they I 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.200 think Brandon Staley's bad. I go back into that game 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:58.960 and he when he decided to go for the fourth 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.000 down and Bland ended up breaking it up like take 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.520 the point, kick the field goal. Yes, I'm like, this 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:04.640 is this is gonna be a long game. 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.760 How you know that wasn't a Kellen called because that's 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:08.800 something Kellen would do. 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.760 But this is what Brandon Staley was doing before Kellen 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.520 got there, so this was already his m O. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:14.560 We're gonna go for it. 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:19.640 But I'm just like, man, kick three points and if 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.880 he does, maybe it's twenty twenty and you're out here 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.040 kicking kicking the field goal to win the game. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.880 But this is just who he. 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.679 Is, and I just think it's gonna get in fired. 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:30.640 I said it on the players left. Would not be 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.080 surprised if Kellen Moore is the interim coach at some 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.040 point in time, because. 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.000 He just I mean, you guys are watching the game, 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.680 do you watching it? I'm looking at it. There's dumb 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.760 and there's charger dumb. What are you doing? 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.280 And at the end they're always driving down for the 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.800 last you know, the last moments, well, I mean preserved 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:51.560 to win them. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.320 They have the most losses by six points or less 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.880 than any other team in the National Football League. And 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:03.000 it was it was a combination of Brandon Stanley dumb 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.440 and Kellen Moore dumb because you saw the opportunities where 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.440 you know, Brandon Stanley he wants to go forward and 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.280 fourth down he's he's been the leader of that analytics things. 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.160 It says go forward it and then at the end 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.640 of the game, which has always been my issue with 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.560 Kellen Moore, think you it happened to us, it happened 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.520 for us, and and not you know, it happens for us, 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:26.120 and it wasn't us doing it to them. Kellen Moore 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.320 went back to the same old bag. I need a 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.840 first down? What do I do past I run to 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.800 the sticks and turn around, And Stefan Gilmore said, not today, 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:36.280 my friend? 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:37.320 Like that is that? 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.800 Like I remember, Kellen Moore is a disciple of Jason Garrett. 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.000 I remember playing for Jason Garrett. I remember standing there 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.800 on the side line sometimes and we line up and 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.280 defensive backs will go here. 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:48.920 Come the Harvey route. 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.599 They're running to the sticks and I'm like, damn, we 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.400 we are running the Harvey route, and sure enough you 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.880 run right to the sticks and stop and people was 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.240 eat it up alive. And so when you have those 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:06.000 combinations of two coaches who who can't balance each other 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.720 out right, like Kellen Moore can't out coach the stupidity 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.600 of Brandon Staley, and Staley can't out coach the time 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.079 the stupidity of Kellen Moore, you end up what you have. 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.120 You have a team, on paper, is one of the 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.840 most talented rosters in all of football, with the quarterback 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:26.240 who people continue to overvalue and overrate because he is. 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:30.040 One blame Herbert the way we've always been dumping on 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:34.680 Dak in the same situation, same offensive coordinator, the same 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:38.760 predictability in the big games that we lose. Why is 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.680 it that the narrative is so different now that I 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:46.040 don't understand because he's still considered top five and Dak 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:47.320 is instead of falling. 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.520 I've always said this when I was doing my radio 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:54.920 show on NBC Sports Tradio, It's interesting on who we 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.840 choose to forgive and who we choose to committ. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.760 Justin's been forgiven. It's this is that is that that 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:07.480 it's always Dak's fault. 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:12.360 One of the things that I found very interesting from 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.800 the criticism Dac has gotten this year when I've heard 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:20.000 he can't win a big game. So all of a sudden, 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.800 going to Tampa Bay against Tom Brady's never lost to 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.120 the Cowboys in his career. That's not a big game. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:30.320 And I learned this from John Madden, the late John Madden, 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.520 when we were doing these uh we we they would 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.440 fly NBC with flys all out to l A to 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.319 go talk to to Alan John and I. 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:38.079 Was in Romo. 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.680 That's when the money was good. That's when, that's when, 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:41.480 that's when, that's. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.880 When the money when the money was good. 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:48.960 Right there, Man, network, you fly. 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.839 You'll get a trip. You'll get a trip. You'll get 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:51.240 a trip. 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.000 Now they're like, uh, we're gonna send. 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:54.480 One of y'all. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.120 At one o'clock on You got to bring your phone 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:03.880 in the tropid. 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.000 Yeah, you don't even get a camera crew. 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.880 Hey, you gotta We're gonna get your four K phone 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.040 and get your tripad tropod you've been learning to do. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.600 Yeah, right, So that's what it is now. 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:20.280 Nobody and so Tony's a quarterback and I asked you, 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.360 I said, John Tony's got this reputation that he doesn't 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.720 win big games. He's like, you know what, bothers me, 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.880 bothers me so much about that? Show me the little 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.640 game on the schedule. He said, they're sixteen of them. 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.720 They're all big, And I would go back to this 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.560 year's game against Arizona. A lot of Cowboy fans thought 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.800 that was a little game. It wasn't a little game. 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.679 It was no, no, and and what it could end 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.959 up being in the stands along the way. There's no 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.880 such thing as a little game. And they're all big. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.120 Even when they talk about, okay, well what did that 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.160 do this game? Well, the defense he played against the 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:58.800 thirty first in past. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.080 Defense, you still got go out there and pass on them. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.360 You still have to go out there and make plays 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.360 and do your job. To me, that's the professionalism that 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:10.400 this team needs to be credited for. I don't care what. 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.360 We went out there and won the way we were 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.480 supposed to go win. Everyone doesn't go out there and 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.720 win the way they're supposed to win. Many times we 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.000 go out there and we take ask Philly, ask San 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.319 Francisco about those same things, about what we're supposed to do. 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.720 Dax Sa hasn't touchdown passes dropped on him this year. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.679 Yes, I know he's sitting here with six touchdowns and 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.160 four interceptions, but you know, the tight ends had dropped 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:39.480 two at least two that I've seen. Gout should have 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:43.520 had one Monday night. I thought so along the way, 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.760 and look, every quarterback goes through this, you know you're 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:50.800 gonna have. But that's a part of what's going on here. 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:56.319 He's just undeserving of the venom that he gets. And 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:02.160 when I hear the he's Kirk Cousins. Guys. 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.200 Now, we didn't go on too far? Are even going 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:05.600 too far? 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:05.920 Now? 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:06.439 Yeah? 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:06.720 You know? 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.599 And I think too the way that Dak continues to 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.680 have faith in his guys when there are drop passes. 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:17.520 We talked to Lunda Wells today with earlier he had 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:21.480 availability and the faith that Dak still has in his guys. 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.079 Though you know, there's drop passes within the tight end room, 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:25.679 not even just in the end zone, just in general. 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.720 That's been a reoccurring theme, and he still make sure 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.160 to go into the tight end meetings. He takes it 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:35.280 upon himself to go and establish that chemistry, establish that connection, 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.640 So that way, that's not an issue anymore. The amount 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.560 of work that this man does outside of just being 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.520 the quarterback that he doesn't have to do, He doesn't 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.640 have to show up on Saturday morning to go do that. 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.680 He takes it upon himself to do. I think, yeah, knew, 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:53.120 you said it perfect. The venom is just so ridiculous. 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.280 And I knew after that forty nine Ers game. I 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.640 knew what the media headlines were going to be with 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.400 the interceptions, and that doesn't tell the whole story of 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.320 what Dak is doing. And especially going through a new 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.480 establishment under this West Coast offense, There's gonna be hiccups, 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.439 there's gonna be growing pains, and I think people forget 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.600 You're only five weeks into the season at that point. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.000 But the criticism at the forty nine Ers. 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.240 Game was warranted, Yes, yeah, with warranted. 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.360 One of the things I did that week was I 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.200 was talking. I was talking to several players and even 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.560 asked one of the coach are can you put too 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.600 much into one game? 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:26.600 No? 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:27.880 No, no, I don't. 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:32.360 Under saands the measuring stick, Mike says everybody, And and 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:33.480 the reason I'm asking it's. 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:34.800 Like in the back of my mind. 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:35.720 What if you don't win. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.240 Yeah, it's like boxing. You don't you talk about your wine, 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:40.640 You don't play well at all. 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.160 You co up there look like Ero Spinz, you know, 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:45.240 but crawfed. 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:51.440 That's new he So yeah, getting one top them up 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.880 a little bit, arrow five. 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:58.760 And it happens. Stop styles make fights. I mean Ken 0:14:58.840 --> 0:14:59.760 Norton broke Alle's. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.200 Oh you remember back in the day, I Ali could 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.520 not handle nort He just couldn't style Cooper. 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.240 Cooper with the left hand, the left get it right. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.320 So so you know, these things happen. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:13.920 And that's why I'm like, you guys put so much 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.160 into this because it's it's October. 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.280 We got a long way to go, got a long 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:18.880 way to go. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.040 And but the criticism, I thought, when you, when you, 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.760 when you, when everybody talks about it, and Dak talked 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.320 about it and you have three interceptions, that's not going 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.560 to get it done. It's just not. And so now 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.880 to the levels that some people took it too. It's 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.920 for the former athletes, but that that has to be 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.440 called out. Because you're making that kind of money, you're 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.360 expected to perform. 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.480 And he expects to perform. You can tell that he 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:44.880 humbles himself. 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.800 And he didn't and and oh, by the way, Michael 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:47.640 Parsons didn't. 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.120 I mean, it was a long life. There was a 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.360 whole lot of folks that didn't get it done that day. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.640 But the quarterback is going to get it the three picks. 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.920 And we could talk about, well the offense isn't here 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:01.160 and there, and that's fine, but you got out classed 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:05.080 in San Francisco. After saying you're ready for He's like, 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.040 here we go take threw. 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.840 Down the Gulflet the Cowboys threw down the guard right right. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:11.360 Take three. 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.800 We can't get it done. And so you you opened 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.680 yourself up for it. They opened themselves up for it. 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.080 They took it, and then they responded against the Chargers. 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.480 Now can you respond after the bye week, there's a 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:27.239 pretty interesting opponent coming up here. Let's dive into the Rams, 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.320 who won't by the way, are not the same sorry 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.200 Rams people thought they were going to be to start 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:32.600 the season. 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.320 We do that with Jess Everson.
