Cowboys, Let's go. Are 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:17.960 you ready for a break? Yes? Are you ready for 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:23.120 a break? Absolutely? Ready for a break? Yeah, and so 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:27.000 much for that. It's time for The Break on Dallas 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:32.680 Cowboys dot Com with Nick Eatman, Brian brought Us and 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:38.720 bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. It is Wednesday, January eleventh, 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.960 twenty twenty three, Season eight eighteen, episode number one oh five. 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.559 Welcome to the latest edition of The Break. We're live 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.879 from the s WBC Mortgage Studios at the start and 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:51.280 presented by millerlike the only Beer of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.520 Today is our job to get you ready for Cowboys 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.680 versus Buccaneers. We will focus in today on the Buccaneers 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.760 offense versus the Dallas defense. We got some fan questions 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:01.920 we'll get. We're gonna try to get questions every day 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.160 from from fans this week, getting you guys ready for 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.440 the game. And I actually wanted to start today's conversation 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.280 with a question that I received on Twitter from Clarence Ye. 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.080 The question was are we And I think he's meaning 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.120 by that the fans the media, everybody out in the 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:23.119 Cowboy universe. Are we overreacting to the Washington loss? It 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.000 was ugly, but recall last year's anticipation for the playoffs 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.600 after the Philly game, it was super Bowl or bust. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.880 This year it's it can. I don't know what he 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.280 was saying there, but basically the point he was making was, 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.080 are we overreacting to that loss? Because sometimes you can 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.160 lose the last game and still do well. Other times 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.280 you can win and not do so well. What do 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.880 you think? Yeah, I think yes and overreacting a little bit. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.680 But that's what we do. And that's that's why you 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.280 talk about football for seven days before each game, I 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.600 mean each each day. I mean that's what you do. 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.160 So yeah, it's probably a little bit of overreacting. No 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:56.840 one will talk about it if they play well, but 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.320 that's you know, that's the last game we've got, last 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.200 memory that we've got, and it's not the best, you know, 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.800 game to go into the playoffs. But as I've said before, 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.320 last year's the game did not carry over into the playoffs, 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.760 so you can only hope this one doesn't either. No, 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.720 we're not overreacting at all. You know, this was a 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.720 must win game. It really was if you think about it, 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.960 I mean you had to go in there and you 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.000 had to establish that you were going to win the game, 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.720 and then pull the starters once you realize what was 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.720 going on in Philadelphia. So yeah, I mean it's the 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.040 same problems. You don't run, you're throwing interceptions. How many 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.400 picks six? This is this guy thrown this year? You 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.720 know how many Nick talks about it. You know, I 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.720 heard him on the radio this morning talking about I 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.360 want to five three the fan. You know, it's not 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.120 a overreaction at all. You know, you're you're trying to 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.359 you're trying to establish, You're trying to establish things or 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.240 trying clean up things that you've been poor at. You know, 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.680 the last several weeks they haven't run the ball, you know, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.440 the last several weeks. The quarterbacks thrown interceptions every week. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.799 You know, these are things. These aren't overreactions. This is like, 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.000 these are these are trends that are going towards you 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.639 getting in the playoffs. And everybody says, you know, you 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.799 got beat by a backup quarterback who completed eleven passes. 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.640 You know you got dominated up front. You're going to 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.000 play better. I don't know if you're gonna play better 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.480 fronts when it comes to you know, the defensive fronts, 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.040 but that's not in a game that you're you're trying 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.320 to win. Initially, No, we're not overreacting at all. These 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.360 are these are legitimate concerns, and we'll all be in 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.359 here Tuesday morning if they show up again, and we 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.839 really won't be overacting then, because you know, I think 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:40.480 the reality is that this team has faults. It plays 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:45.640 remarkably well at times, it overcomes mistakes that they make 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.680 along the way, but the trends are going in the 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.840 wrong way for this football team, much like it went 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.720 the wrong way after the Denver game last year. You know, 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.080 there's things you're seeing that are concerning as you get 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:03.520 ready for a playoff game. Yes, writing well, even though 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.280 I do think that the Cowboys are going to be 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.280 able to play a lot better this weekend when they 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.360 go out to Tampa, I don't think that this is 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:16.040 an overreaction either, because you're talking about a team that 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.960 was uncapable of doing absolutely anything. They got one touchdown, 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.560 they missed the extra point. Other than that, that was 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:30.080 it like eleven three and out. That's freaking embarrassing. How 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.400 are you not able to do absolutely anything against the 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.120 team that's not even competing to be in the playoffs anymore. 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:44.560 So it's not had they lost that game. It would 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.520 have been different if you saw some fight in the game, 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.240 but we didn't see any of that. So that's what 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.280 makes it worse for me. It's not that they lost whatever, 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.159 you're still in the playoffs, but it's how they lost it. 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.599 There was nothing in there that they did well, and 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.320 it gives you worry into the playoffs when you know 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.560 you're gonna face a team that's a lot better a 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:09.479 quarterback that's the Yeah, probably the best quarterback in the 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.400 NFL ever played, But it just gives you a lot 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.359 more worrying concern. But I do think they're gonna be 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.400 competitive in this game, but it's just it was just 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.560 a crappy way to go out this week. Does not 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.160 feel like we're about to head into the playoffs. That's 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.440 not the vibe at least for me, and like in 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.240 our office space, it's just not as exciting as it 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.640 would be had they won that game or probably competed 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.640 in that game. Yeah, I was gonna say I the 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.400 only thing I disagree with you. There is I don't think. 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.240 I don't think Tampa Bay is better than Washington. I mean, 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.080 I don't believe that. I know, other than the playoffs 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.160 and they're in and they got a quarterback that everyone 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.720 knows and all that, but I don't think they're a 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.120 better football team than Washington, especially from a matchup standpoint. Now. 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.720 I know the Cowboys have struggled against Tampa. They're not 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.719 the same Tampa team that they've played. But I'm just 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:57.120 saying I think, let's not That's what I keep wrestling 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.000 with is that Tampa is not a good football team. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:04.800 They're not. I mean, they're below. No, you don't feel 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.360 like they have I mean they don't. They beat Carolina, 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.400 they beat Carolina at home. But I don't think. I 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.240 don't think they are trending up. I think they're I 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.080 think they're trending in. They're eight and eight eight, nine 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:17.800 whatever they are, you know, because I know they didn't 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.840 play all their guys at the end of the game, 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.240 probably could have won it. But nine and eight eight, now, 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:23.960 whatever they are, I don't. I think they're an average 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.400 football team. I think Washington's an average team that knows 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.120 the Cowboys better, and I think that's a little tougher matchup. 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.000 But I'm just saying the reason why I say that 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.240 I don't overreact is because I think this team has 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.320 proven that they can turn it around. I think that 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.800 they will turn it around. And I do think whatever 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.160 the reason for it, they were not prepared for the game. 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.360 I know they'll be prepared for So let's go down 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.719 that line of thinking. If you say they're an average team, 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.080 does it concern you at all that three of the 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.320 four losses Dallas has this year are two average teams. 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.720 Yeah on grass Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean, 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.599 what do you think Dallas is. I think they're an 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.240 average ten. Yeah, I'm not I mean, I'm not trying 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.320 to attack you on this. I'm just saying I'm just interested. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:08.040 If they're they're a really good football team. Yeah, I 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.760 think that. I think that to me that you know, 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.600 you're trying to like convince yourself. No, I mean that's 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.480 just the way to face him. They're really good. Yeah. 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.560 I was laughing at the way he was just like yeah, 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:27.040 which means hell no, Hell. I lost my will to 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.800 fight right there. I just didn't want to go there. 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.040 I think they're I think they're a really good team. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:37.000 This is a seventeen game season. They're they're they're really good, 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.440 and they're they're one of the best. They're one of 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.320 the best teams in the NFL right now. And I mean, yeah, 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.440 that's what makes that game so weird to to comprehend. 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.680 But they are a better football team than that. They're 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.760 better football team than than the Bucks. They're gonna have 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.960 to go prove it or a normal care but they 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.640 have to do. I think they are a better team. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.320 I think they're a good team. Here's my challenge, and 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.720 I kind of agree with everything everybody says. But the 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.240 reason why I think it's not an overreaction is because 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.560 I don't think it's an overreaction from the standpoint of 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.920 the storyline that continues the same. And what I mean 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.840 by that is, you still can't run the ball, you 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.720 still can't stop the run, you're still turning the ball 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:19.440 over like those are things that have been storylines that 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.640 have persisted over the last several weeks. And now, by 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.760 the way, you're gonna face a team that you faced 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.640 earlier this year that did those exact same things to you. 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:29.440 They ran the ball even though they're not a good 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.120 running team. They ran the ball against you. You couldn't 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.439 stop them, and you couldn't run the ball against their front. 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:37.960 You want to talk about a good front, you just 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.240 face this might be comparable. When you start talking about 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.640 fronts and how good they are up front, Tampa maybe 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.160 just as good. So I just look at that and 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.040 I'm like, that's the part where I'm like, this isn't 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.000 an overreaction. From that standpoint, that doesn't mean Dallas can't 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.360 go and win, because I do think this. I told 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.040 somebody this yesterday. I think Dallas is good enough to 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.800 be any team, and I mean absolutely any team in 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.600 the NFL on any given Sunday. Sure they absolutely can. 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.960 I also think Dallas can lose to almost any team. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.720 There's probably one or two they wouldn't lose to, but 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.400 almost any team in NFL on any given Sunday, if 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.760 they played like they played last Sunday, they can lose 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.400 that game. Both those teams fighting for that number one pick. Uh, 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.760 we're giving the Cowboys some problems in the second half, right, So, 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.400 so I think the Cowboys are all of the maps. 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.520 So anybody that says they know what Dallas is gonna 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.000 do Monday. Good luck with that, Like, I don't trust that. 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.520 What's the reaction? Then, you said, is this an overaction? 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.479 What is the reaction? It's kind of reaction, say overrated. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.360 I think the one I'm done, that's that's the that's 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.280 the over that's the I mean, I think I think 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.559 Ambar's right about this. I think people have just just 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.080 have taken on the whatever you want to call it, 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.600 that they've just taken on the burden of this team's 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.000 just not good enough to go even though Tampa is 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.920 probably not better than the Cowboys. The good teams don't 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.880 turn over the ball. Good team And you're gonna argue 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:55.640 with me, but you're gonna say, good teams are really 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.320 good on offense. Good teams score Brian, good teams do this, 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.199 Good teams lead the league in turn good teams do that. 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.840 And I'm trying to think about I'm just sitting there 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.319 thinking about all the things that can make them an 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.120 even better team that they don't do well. You know, 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.120 they haven't rushed the passer as well as they need to. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.520 I mean, but that is that on them or is 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.600 it on the schemes they're playing. The thing that always 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:23.400 just bothers me. Now, Nick about this as like every 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.920 week you ask a question at the podium to Dak 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.560 and it's about an interception. You know, you can't even 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.079 get to your questions about the three touchdowns he through 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.520 or the four touchdowns he through that day. You know, 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.559 you know the questions I mean the questions to Jerry 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.320 Jones after the games and stuff, and you know, the 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.520 running and the run defense and all this stuff like that. 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.599 I mean, it's just it just it trends in a 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:50.640 way of like this team isn't isn't good? You know 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.959 when when? But everything else kind of tell I mean, 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.079 there's other things that say that it is good. But 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.680 the things that you really feel like you need to 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.000 win in the playoffs, they're not good at at That's 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.640 the problem. I think that's the problem. On the difference 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.280 there may be, and this is where I would put it. 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.160 I don't think you could say they're not a good 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:09.800 team a team that gets twelve. I think they're a 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.520 good team. I think what you gotta say is, yeah, 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.200 are they Are they a super Bowl caliber team the 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.240 way they're playing right now. I think that's where where 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.839 the overreaction is. I think most people that watched last week. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.719 But what I'm saying, most people that watched last week 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.679 are saying they are not one of the teams that 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.959 are really in the hunt for a Super Bowl. That's 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.360 the overreaction I think at this point because of what 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.319 you've been seeing the last few weeks. And that's a 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.320 fair I think that is fair for people to have 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.680 that estimation. Now we'll see where it goes. I'm sorry, 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.120 I thought we were talking about the game. I thought 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.240 we're talking about the Bucks game and like what they're 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.079 gonna do this week. But like, no, I don't think 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.320 they're a super Bowl caliber team. I've never seen a 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.360 super Bowl caliber team. But you know, I've been here 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.720 a while. By to what you said earlier, how you 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.880 think Tampa is not a better team than what Washington 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:56.360 has whatever. Okay, they made it into their whatever. What 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.120 I'm going back to remembering, for example, when we were 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.200 talking about green Bay. Totally different team, but Cowboys were 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.360 way better than what Green Bay was, and they went 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.280 out there, you thought they could win and then Aaron 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.880 Rodgers once again slaps you in the face. Over time, 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.719 they end up winning the game. So it's one of 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.400 those things that even though pieces in their team are 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.080 not the best, you're still talking about a quarterback that's 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.760 gonna be Tom Brady, who you haven't been able to 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.600 ever beat. At this point, I'm not saying it can't happen. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.160 I do think again, I do think this is gonna 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.080 be a good game, and the Cowboys will show up 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.400 and play a tough game. But we can't just dismiss 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.640 them and think, oh, well it's not you know. But 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.040 but I do think they're better than Washington was and whatever. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.680 I just don't agree. I really don't agree. I think 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.079 that we look at the schedules and all that, and 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.760 I think that, you know, you got to remember when 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.480 you get in as an eight and nine team, that 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.920 means you won your division, and that means your division 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:01.200 is terrible. And and I think when you know, Washington 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.880 missed the playoffs by a half game or whatever, and 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:05.559 all three of the other teams got in and look 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.680 at who they played six times. Look who the Bucks 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.000 played six times. And the Bucks, you know, I think 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.880 Tom Brady saved them, well, the defense saved them most 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.880 of the time, and then Brady at the end just 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.559 won the game. So I really don't I don't I 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.640 gotta remember that the Cowboys are four four games better, 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.720 four games better than on the record. But I think 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.120 I think really is they're about five or six games better. 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:33.080 So I get it there's concerns, but I don't believe 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.480 that this is this. I think the body of work 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.240 is too too large. And I think that when they 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.160 are ready to play, when they need to have a 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:45.479 really big opponent, and if it's if it's um Philadelphia 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.360 with the division on the line, the Giants on Thanksgiving, obviously, 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.240 you know the Vikings gonna came back from Green Bay. 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.400 I think that they respond. I think they will respond 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:54.960 in this game. All right, we're gonna take our first 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:56.800 back and we come back when a dive into this 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.960 Tampa Bay offense versus the Dallas defense will do that. 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.200 And then just a few minutes Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.079 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.080 Cheetahs Savannah.

Obviously, we know by the end of the 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.040 game Dak Prescott was hurt in the locker room the 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.840 whole nine before that point. Give me one memory you 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.880 have from that game, one thing that that would that 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.320 happened in that game that you're like, this is one 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.720 thing that kind of concerns me or gives me hope. 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.000 What I remember is that they tried every double reverse 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.000 and trick played the first series of the game. First 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.640 series has gotten like a fifty three yard field goal 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.760 out of and that was it. That was the only point. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.359 And that took all this kind of I mean, like 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.320 nine months of preparation to do all these things to 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.560 move the ball just enough to get to the thirty 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.080 eight yard line or whatever, thirty six yard line and 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.639 make that kick. So that that wasn't good. That's what 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.560 I remember. It took everything you had and then the 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.160 boats were like, all right, nofe of that. So yeah, 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.240 that's that wasn't good. You know, I remember that game 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.280 and I went back and watched it last night, but 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.720 there were some things about it. I just remember how 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.320 many times they got Julio Jones involved, whether it was 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:33.040 jet sweeps or throwing him the ball, and Mike Evans 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.199 made some really nice plays down the field, you know. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.160 But I just the biggest memory that I came away 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.320 from was that they were actually running the ball pretty 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.520 well with Zeke. You know, he was averaging like almost 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.080 five and a half yards to carry, and then they 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.840 just completely stopped. And then all of a sudden, it 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.680 turned into Dak trying to force the ball into coverage 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.600 and they were knocking pat I mean, I've never seen 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:59.000 a team just you know those PBUs you know, passes 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.640 broken up, just bam bam bam it. You know, they 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.440 kept challenging the Buccaneers. They were challenging the Buccaneers in 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.760 the middle field. And then he throws that ball the 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:11.360 interception that Winfield gets, and I'm like why, And that 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:15.080 kind of was the snapshot of Okay, if you said 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:21.520 Dak this year that that interception of Winfield was like, Oh, 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.840 that's what you're gonna see. You're gonna see more of 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.040 this but the biggest memory, the biggest memory was they 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.000 were running the ball well and they stopped. They just 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.359 completely stopped running the ball with Zeke and the game 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.920 never really was out of hand. When I just never, 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.199 I mean that Dallas made some really good stops. They 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.720 make them kick field goals. Yeah, I mean, they really did, 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.640 and so it's it's unfortunate that they went away from 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:48.240 that and it turned into trying to force the football. 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:52.000 What I remember is the excitement heading into that game, 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:55.680 thinking this is, uh, this time around, the Cowboys will 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.160 be able to beat Tampa based on how they had 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.080 played the year before and how they repeated pretty good, 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.439 and then thinking Dak is back to being Dak, And 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:08.480 then the game starts and he was pretty bad. He 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.600 was not Dak, and it was just a game that 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.920 you're like, Okay, what are we watching based on the 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:18.280 initial excitement. Then he gets hurt and you're like, okay, 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.399 now we got to wait a whole another year to 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:24.200 start this over again. Luckily, things didn't go down that way. 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.400 Went better than that, and Cooper Rush did a really 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.720 good job, but that's pretty much it. And nothing was 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.880 working for the Cowboys in that game as far as 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.359 like you having your starters back, You had Zack Martin 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.560 back in the lineup, and you thought, oh, that was 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.040 the missing piece that you needed to beat Tampa the 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.480 year before, and now you got all your starters in there, 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.439 and it's just it wasn't really what you expected it 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.000 to be. Well, you lose McGovern really early in that 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.520 game too, Oh yeah, yeah, I mean Farniac is in 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:52.680 there early, and then you got the Now you got 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.560 Farniac and Tyler Smith playing on the left side, and 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.680
