18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 6: gotta talk about this Cowboys get a lost yesterday. Really,

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 6: it wasn't much of a game most of the game

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 6: from the opening kick. I think the Saints really had

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 6: their way, especially offensively with the Dallas defense. I don't

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 6: think I think it was all the way until the

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 6: fourth quarter before Dallas even got a stop. And what

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 6: I mean by a stop is didn't allow them in

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 6: the end zone, not even field goals. It was a beating,

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 6: and so we'll talk about that. Let's start first, as

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 6: we do every Monday, I want you to go big picture.

28
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 6: We'll dive into the nuances of the game, but big picture,

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 6: tell me what you think was the storyline of yesterday's game.

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 7: We'll start with you, Nicka.

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, defense just getting overwhelmed, both in the past game

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 3: and the run game. But I think it started in

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 3: the run game. You see these guys getting absolutely assaulted

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: at the point of attack.

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 7: I mean it was it was bad.

36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: I look at the defensive interior line and I know

37
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: there's a lot of still new faces there, but you

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: bring in these two veteran guys that you would hope

39
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: would have some sort of impact at least in the

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: run game, and you just did not see that. I

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: know we talked back at camp whenever George and Phillips

42
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: was traded for from the Giants, and I was a

43
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: little bit bullish on how I didn't feel like he

44
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: was an effective run stopper.

45
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 7: And I think that really.

46
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: Started to rear its head yesterday, especially as that game

47
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: started to wear on and and those reps started to

48
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: get a little bit more taxing physically. Lin Val Joseph.

49
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: He wasn't getting after it either. He was reaching at

50
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: times and was just getting pulled around, and it made

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: life really.

52
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 7: Difficult for that second level.

53
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: I mean, there's there's multiple snaps where you see Mary

54
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: cleafel De, Marvin Overshown, Eric Kendricks trying to play two

55
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: gaps while they have another guy coming on top of

56
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: them to block, so they're trying to fit around the

57
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: block and cover two gaps at the same time. And

58
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: it just it allowed Alvin Kamara to have the day

59
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: that he had four touchdowns and over one hundred and

60
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 3: what am I looking at? One hundred and eighty all

61
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 3: purpose yards? He had a day and I think offensively.

62
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: You know I've mentioned it time and time again, but

63
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: this running game needs a hard look in the mirror.

64
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: It's getting to a point now to where do you

65
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: feel comfortable with this running game being the statfablished product

66
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: for the rest of the season. And I know it's

67
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: only two games in and I know we have a

68
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: limited sample size, but this is gonna be a situation

69
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: where we look up in five six weeks and it's

70
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: if they haven't made any changes at that point, they

71
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: will have to make a change. Before it's too late,

72
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: and then they're probably running up against time with the

73
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: trade deadline at that point. But nevertheless, I think whenever

74
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 3: you look at the biggest problems that this team had yesterday,

75
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: I feel like it starts with stopping the run and

76
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: running the ball. And it's kind of funny because I

77
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: go back to mobile at the very beginning of the

78
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: offseason and Jerry Jones said the two things he wants

79
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: to get better at this offseason is stopping the ball

80
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: and running the ball better. And those are the two

81
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: things that were the biggest catalysts to the loss yesterday.

82
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 8: What can I say? I say in this year, I

83
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 8: was like, you know what, I'm not gonna care. I

84
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 8: don't care.

85
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 7: I do not care.

86
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 8: I'm gonna handle this as a job. I'm gonna come

87
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 8: in and do what Derek requires me to do in

88
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 8: this job. But the reality is that I do freaking

89
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 8: care and every time, like, I'm still finding myself getting

90
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 8: upset because and I'm gonna divide it into two parts.

91
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 8: Let's start with the offense. The offense, I know what

92
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 8: I saw last week, so what they did this week

93
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 8: didn't necessarily surprise me. I did expect them to be

94
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 8: a lot better, especially playing at home second week. I

95
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 8: expected the offense to be more in sync and just

96
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 8: get into the end zone more times. But it was

97
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 8: very similar to what happened in Cleveland, where they just

98
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 8: could not produce offensively. They got two places where they

99
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 8: were moving the ball, but they just cannot get into

100
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 8: the end zone. And then you got Brandon Aubrey again

101
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 8: being the one scoring the most points for the offense.

102
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 8: Now on the defensive side of the ball, it is

103
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 8: extremely disappointed. Disappointing because what I saw week one was

104
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 8: extremely exciting from the get go, from beginning to end.

105
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 8: You saw such an aggressive defense, and then it was

106
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 8: letely the opposite happening what we saw yesterday, just a

107
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 8: defense that they just could not catch.

108
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 7: A break and.

109
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 8: There were a lot of mistackles. You saw it, people

110
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 8: just not being on time where they needed to be.

111
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 8: It's just like the New Orleans offense were just so

112
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 8: much more ahead. They just had so much more juice

113
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 8: to them, and we're playing such a much faster football,

114
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 8: such a much faster game, and so that's that's the

115
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 8: most disappointing part. That, at least the side of the

116
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 8: ball that I expected to be a lot better once again.

117
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 8: They just cannot handle the running game. It's just it's

118
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 8: gonna be a problem again. And what's troubling is like,

119
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 8: I don't know how you fix that right now. You know,

120
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 8: you brought in size. We talked about it last week.

121
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 8: You bringing guys that have the size, and you expect

122
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 8: it to be better. And it's just a very disappointing

123
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 8: performance of a Mike Zimmer defense that I expected to

124
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 8: be so much better.

125
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: They didn't respect the right side of your defense in

126
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: this game at all. And the way they formationed you,

127
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 2: and then the way they ran the ball and the

128
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: success that they were able to have very simple with

129
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: the toss sweeps and things like that to able to

130
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 2: get to the perimeter. You know, the right side of

131
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: the defense has been a little bit of a problem.

132
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: You know, we've seen We've seen Lords play over there.

133
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 2: He got blocked a couple different times on the crack

134
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: on the crack toss. They got Parsons blocked over there.

135
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: Everybody that played off that right edge had a little

136
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: bit of a problem. If you're going to stop the

137
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: run for the Dallas Cowboys, your linebackers are going to

138
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: have to do it, no one else is going to

139
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: be able to do it. And the Saints did a

140
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: really nice job of getting blockers up onto your linebackers,

141
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: and so really kind of starts with the defensive tackles,

142
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: as you mentioned. So if they secure the defensive tackles quickly,

143
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: and now that allows the guards to get up on

144
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: the linebackers. Every one of these cowboy linebackers were having

145
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: to fight blocks the whole and they over ransom plays.

146
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: You ask, well, where was overshown in this game? Overshown

147
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: is not a nickel player. Well's that's I mean, he's

148
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: not He's not a bass player. Leah Fallo is your

149
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: base linebacker. And so if you get into if Dallas

150
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: plays nickel, and this is what the Saints do to you.

151
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: They get in twenty one personnel, two backs, one tight end,

152
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: they get in twenty two personnel, two backs, two tight ends,

153
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: and they make you play base defense the whole game.

154
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, you know a lot

155
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: of teams are so used to playing nickel and having

156
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: nickel fits, so all of a sudden, now you're playing

157
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: with rookie like Lea Foul and he's fighting blocks. Kendricks

158
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: who makes a million tackles in week one, has to

159
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: make a ton of tackles. They can't get him to

160
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: the ball. The screenplay fifty seven yard screen great call,

161
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: blitz coming from the right. All of a sudden they

162
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: slipped the screen to the left. You're thinking, well, wait,

163
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: brought us Wait, why isn't why isn't Micah on Kamara there? Well,

164
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: it's Kendrick's on Kamara. I'll take that in space. That's

165
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: a linebacker on a legitimate big time back. I think

166
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: I'd be okay. Carbridge, boll overrun the play. You know,

167
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: these are the kinds of things. Run the ball, the

168
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: outside tanks, the right end tank. Seeing this a million times,

169
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: crack crack, crack. You know, he jumps outside and he's

170
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: able to kind of maybe make the ball come back

171
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: inside or they get bodies over there. He gets cracked.

172
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: Now the corner gets gets blocked out. They did a

173
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: great job of getting blockers on defenders and then Kamara

174
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: making somebody miss, and that was that was a big

175
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 2: part of your game for them. It's pretty simple. The

176
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 2: toss plays. They did not respect your perimeter of your defense,

177
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 2: and they felt like that they could control the edge

178
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 2: and then seal everybody to the inside, and they were

179
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: very successful doing that. I mean again, I mentioned Kamara

180
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: eleven attempts on the outside left for seventy seven yards

181
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: and two touchdowns. That's that's digside over there, and we're

182
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: talking to We've talked about that before, even when Dallas

183
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: didn't play the run very well. What was it? We've

184
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: mentioned this. They take care of the end, and this

185
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: is when they were played a ton of dime. They

186
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: take care of the end. They can't get the safety

187
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: in the fill in the alley and they kicked digs,

188
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, that's that's that's where they're at.

189
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: They're like, hey, they're still not good enough. We're going

190
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: to take a chance that they're going to not be

191
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: good enough on their right side.

192
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 6: So let me ask you, I should we be at

193
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 6: this point having more conversations about the safeties even and

194
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 6: not maybe fix on those gaps. I know yesterday that

195
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 6: big long touchdown. Yeah, both your safeties are back there.

196
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 6: You gotta be able to run with you.

197
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. You know what happens to you, though,

198
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: is the Saints create windows when they throw the ball

199
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: the early, the very early down when they threw the

200
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: ball to Shaheed for nine yards. Okay, what did we

201
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: talk about in Carolina? They did in week one They

202
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: motioned Kamara to get the space and then sit the

203
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: guy right in the middle. Well, what did they do

204
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: in this game? They faked the screen going left, They

205
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: took the they took Taysom Hill and a blocker and

206
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: moved it and that created space. Now your guys are

207
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: reading flowing boom. That thing opens up there. Now the

208
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: ball that goes down the field, the deep pass, Okay,

209
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: it's a it's a it's a cover. It's a cover too. Look,

210
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: Carson has got to jam that guy. Carson cannot let

211
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: Shahid just run duck him and run vertical on the

212
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: safeties like that. Yeah, So you know there's things that

213
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: you have to do in order to play good defense.

214
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: If your technique says, jam that guy, what happens if

215
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: you jam him, well you get you get a rusher

216
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 2: that almost gets home. You know, cars standing there in

217
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: the middle of the pocket. And if he has if

218
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: he has to wait on Shahee to clear, then they're

219
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: going to maybe that's going to be a sack, a

220
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: hit ball in the air. Just just that, just that

221
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: not getting a jam off the line of scrimmage, allow

222
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: the guy who could really run to get on your safeties.

223
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: That's that's just the kind of the things that happens

224
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: to this team when they're there's some physical problems, don't

225
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: get me wrong, but there's also problems that they have

226
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: when it comes to playing the scheme.

227
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, o diggi'szel almost got home on that play. Yeah,

228
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 7: it was. But it was a beautiful ball, hell of

229
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 7: the ball.

230
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, And it was so interesting I saw. I noticed

231
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 6: early in the first drive. What they did was they

232
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 6: were running those crossing routes and they hit Dallas twice

233
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 6: on those crossing routes.

234
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: Dallas was in man.

235
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 6: My guess is at that point they were like, okay,

236
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 6: let's let's back away maybe from trying to try to

237
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 6: do as much man, because they're beating us on these

238
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 6: crossing routs. You go to cover two, as you said,

239
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 6: and then here we go right up the right. You

240
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 6: get a flit the safety.

241
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: You get a situation too, where you're playing single high

242
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: and you're playing a single high. Look, so you got

243
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: Wilson in the middle of the field, you got hookers

244
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: down taking taking the tight end, and so now you

245
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: got the single high. Look, well, what happens in Hooker

246
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: gets hookers out and then the cross I mean the

247
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 2: route comes behind behind that. So they carry, they carry

248
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: Wilson deep and they run the route. And what happened

249
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: is Dix is playing at depth right, and there's not

250
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: just a way for him. If there's no way, I mean,

251
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: it's a free run inside. And so you're like going,

252
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: whoa look out? You know?

253
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 6: Is that is that a skime problem? That's I mean,

254
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 6: now when you're gonna play I gotta play man, you're

255
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 6: gonna give him that much of a cushion.

256
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to be accused of being a coach guy,

257
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: because I'm just telling you to me, you're asking Digs

258
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 2: to do a lot to have to If you're going

259
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: to say that's good, route has to be carried, and

260
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: you're playing that thing at depth and that route is

261
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: coming inside hard, that's that's that's a pretty That's a

262
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: pretty tough one to play if you're playing man and

263
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: you gotta trail it again, I'm not a coach. Not

264
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: a coach. I'm sure there's somebody over there is gonna

265
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,119
Speaker 2: watch this and they're gonna go brought it to your dumbass,

266
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: and that's that's fine. But to me, it seems like

267
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: that that's a hard route to carry playing from depth,

268
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: and it happened to like you say, it happened a

269
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: couple of different times. But the Saints do a really

270
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: good job of creating windows for their receivers to run into,

271
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: and it gives the quarterback the opportunity to make some throws.

272
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 7: Not only the route, but the speed of Shahed too.

273
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there was a lot of times we

274
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 3: looked up at the secondary last year and understood that

275
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: they had some problems with speed guys. And no matter where,

276
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: you kind of see some guys come out, see some

277
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: guys come in. I mean, compared to what that season

278
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: looked like last year, you don't have Gilmour Bland on

279
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 3: the field, but you have Digs and Carson. So where

280
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: where does this kind of come into play? Are just

281
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 3: all these guys bad at covering speed? And I think

282
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 3: I think we're getting to a point to where we

283
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: probably need to identify that just because I mean, you

284
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 3: look at Rashid Shahed in this game, you call back

285
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: to oh, I'm forgetting his name from the Arizona game

286
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: last year that had a huge, huge day.

287
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 7: Greg Dortch, I believe.

288
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's Brown also too, right.

289
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And so I just think I think whenever you

290
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 3: look at these speed type weapons, it's it's going to

291
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: be a problem for the Dallas evens.

292
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 8: Well looking at I was gonna say, looking some of

293
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 8: the secondary guys and in a cornerback when you're watching

294
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 8: this of the film and they're having depending on the

295
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 8: routes that was being run and they're having to make

296
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 8: the cut to adjust and follow that cut right there,

297
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 8: slows them down so much to like the adjustment, and

298
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 8: it creates so much separation. And you see some of

299
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 8: these receivers and you talk about speed, I mean, that's

300
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 8: the main thing that stood out from the offense that

301
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 8: the Dallas defense just could not catch up. They were

302
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 8: so much faster in every single play, whether it was

303
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 8: running the ball or throw in in the passing game,

304
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 8: and even then, like I said, just making those adjustments,

305
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 8: they just could not could not follow there exactly and

306
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 8: so much separation.

307
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: To that exact point, there was a there was a

308
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: play where Diggs was giving Shaheed quite a bit of

309
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 3: depth and she he broke and Digs anticipated that he

310
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: was going to come at him. Oh yeah, by the

311
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: time he broke, there was probably seven yards in the

312
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 3: tow so much I'm trying to find the exact play,

313
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: but she ended up getting like twenty yards on that play.

314
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 7: So it's it's just it's tough.

315
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: You know, I know every but he made some offensive

316
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: comments as well about it the running game. The game

317
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: was out of hand. Their running game wasn't gonna help you.

318
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: I think the red zone offense needs to be examined.

319
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 6: Yep.

320
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: And that's where that's to me. If you're gonna say,

321
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: as Ambar in her assessment was talking about moving the

322
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: ball and getting it. Now it turns into Aubrey kicking

323
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: field goals, you need to look at where you are

324
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: offensively in the red zone. The running game, I think

325
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: it is what it is right now. But the red

326
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: zone offense, to me, is a bigger issue than what

327
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: their running game is.

328
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 6: And we're gonna get to that that there are some

329
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 6: when we start digging into the offense, that team seems

330
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 6: to be the stark difference there because the game would

331
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 6: have obviously much closer. I'm not sure Dallas would have

332
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 6: known with the defensive effort they had yesterday, but certainly

333
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 6: would have been much more of a ball game if

334
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 6: your offense could have scored more touchdowns in the inn

335
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 6: than that.

336
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: You needed to stay with them in that game and

337
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: pray you were going to get a stop. And you

338
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: didn't get a stop, so that that was the problem.

339
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: You're going to need stops. You didn't get him. But

340
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: they also left some plays on the field. The wheel

341
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: route could have been a touchdown if the balls thrown

342
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: out there. We saw the one where Lamb had an

343
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: inside route that was a misconnection that could have been

344
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: a touchdown. They left some They left some big plays

345
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: out on that field.

346
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 6: All right, we're going to take our first break when

347
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 6: we come back. I do real quick before we move

348
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 6: to our attention to the offense. I do want to

349
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 6: talk about the pass rush for the Cowboys and maybe

350
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 6: the non existence of the pass rush. We'll do that

351
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,280

00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 6: that s WBC Mortgage Studios at the start. The segment

415
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 6: brought to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, let's

416
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 6: talk about the pass rush yesterday. And I know that

417
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 6: a lot of this has to be prefaced with the

418
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 6: fact that New Orleans had a good game plan for

419
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 6: getting rid of the ball quick and when they didn't,

420
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 6: they would max protect to be able to give themselves time.

421
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 6: They have two guys out in a route and they

422
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 6: would try to do it that way. So they had

423
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 6: a good game plan going in, but didn't seem like

424
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 6: the Cowboys put much pressure on them at all, even

425
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 6: in situations where maybe there were plays where there wasn't

426
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 6: there wasn't you know, Max protect or plays where they

427
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 6: didn't get rid of the ball quick and Dallas still

428
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 6: wasn't able to manufacture the kind of pressure that we've

429
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 6: seen them put on other teams. What did you guys

430
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 6: see from the standpoint in the pass rushing their ability

431
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 6: to affect the passer?

432
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: For me, I think the Saints were really creative in

433
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: attacking the cowboys best pass rushers, and for me, I

434
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 3: was I was seeing it in the first half and

435
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 3: them specifically going after number eleven, understanding where he was

436
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: pre snap and motioning over a tight end to go

437
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: give a tackle help And on a couple of occasions

438
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 3: which I thought this was this was pretty interesting.

439
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 7: They would have a guy in the slot.

440
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 3: It could be it could be Shaheed, it could be

441
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: a Lave or it could be Kamara as well. They

442
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: would motion him over snap the ball right as he

443
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 3: was crossing the right guard. Let's say, if Mike is

444
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: coming off the left side and as he's running his route,

445
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 3: he's gonna chip him on the way out and it

446
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 3: would just crumble Micah and so like he would be

447
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: crumbled at the top of the at the beginning of

448
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: the play, at the at the point of the snap,

449
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 3: and he's trying to attack the left tackle, and even

450
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: if he does get around him, by that point, it's

451
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: already three and a half seconds into the play in

452
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 3: Shaheed's eighty yards downfield.

453
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 7: So it's it's it was.

454
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 3: It was an interesting attack of how they went after Micah,

455
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: but it was a very intentional effort that they did

456
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 3: pre snap, and you see them calling out things pre

457
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: snap and pointing out eleven pre snap almost every single play.

458
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 7: I think they did a good job just washing him out.

459
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: And I think whenever you look at the run game,

460
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I talked about it a little bit previous

461
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 3: in the previous segment, there was just no push generated

462
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 3: at all. But I think when you look at the

463
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 3: demarkets Lawrence case in particular, they're putting two guys on

464
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: him in the run game almost every single snap, And

465
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: so it was they did a really good job understanding

466
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: where eleven was on pass downs and where ninety was

467
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: on rundowns, and they attacked both of those guys and

468
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 3: their plan was perfectly executed.

469
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 7: I mean, neither of those guys got any sort of push.

470
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 2: I thought it was really when you start to talk about,

471
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: you know, playing with the tight ends and the full

472
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 2: backs and stuff like that, and it was clear that

473
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: there were probably some times where Micah lined up thinking

474
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: he was going to get one on one and then

475
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: all of a sudden. You mentioned about the chips, but

476
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: to me, having a wing or a tight end, a

477
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: Taysom Hill or a Foster Morow lined up on the

478
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: right side. So here's Parsons going to rush the opposite side.

479
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: He's probably thinking, you know, okay, I'm gonna get a

480
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna get a tackle here. But then it

481
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 2: turns into it the snap. Here's that guy comes all

482
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 2: the way across and and not even a motion just

483
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: he immediately it's like a running back checking like inside outside,

484
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: and they were able to so then all of a sudden,

485
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: it's like, oh wait a minute, this is a double now.

486
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 2: And so they they felt comfortable, and there were a

487
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: couple of times where they put a tight end over there,

488
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: like Moreau, they put him in line over over Parsons

489
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: and then motion and then now it's two tight ends

490
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: blocking on Parsons and then it allowed Fawaka the tackle

491
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: to go help elsewhere. So they they were they were

492
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 2: kind of thinking like keep two guys on him and

493
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: then and then, but don't let him, don't let him

494
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: have an understanding of what was going to happen to

495
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: him pre snap. Sometimes he's like, okay, there gonna double

496
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: me here. And now it's like okay, I got single ball.

497
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: No wait, they're gonna double me now. So they really

498
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: kept him off off balance with the way that they

499
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 2: blocked up their front.

500
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 8: And every play. I thought it was so well designed

501
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 8: by them. Everyone was completely in sync. And I'm talking

502
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 8: about the Saints' offense. They and again I go back

503
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 8: to just playing a faster game, because if you look

504
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 8: at the at some of the film, Micah would get

505
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 8: there where he needed to, whether it was to make

506
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 8: the tackle, tackle the running back, or get to car,

507
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 8: but it was just a few seconds too late. Car

508
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 8: was just so much faster. He wouldn't hang to the

509
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 8: ball too long. He would get rid of the ball quickly,

510
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 8: whether it was a pass. And I thought there was

511
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 8: along with the motion a lot of some misdirection being

512
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 8: created when he was going to hand off the ball

513
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 8: to the running back where it just drove everybody to

514
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 8: the right side or the left, and then while the

515
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 8: play was just getting created the opposite way. So I thought,

516
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 8: I mean, credit to the Giant Giants, to the Saints offense,

517
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 8: but I think they just they played so much faster.

518
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 3: Quick draft show plug for Wag is so good, isn't he? Yeah,

519
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 3: he's so good. Forty four pass snaps that he's had

520
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: in his first two weeks, zero pressures allowed.

521
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 7: He was getting affur in the run game too. That

522
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 7: guy's a marler.

523
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: What was he drafted again?

524
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 7: First round?

525
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 6: I know, first round?

526
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, what were they That would have been fourteen?

527
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were right in the middle fourteen Yeah.

528
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, all right, real quick, I do want to,

529
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 6: real quick go back to the defensive tackles, and I'm

530
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 6: looking at the guys that the Cowboys brought in. Phillips

531
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 6: and Joseph neither really got a training camp. Is there

532
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 6: any chance, like, as you're looking at this, is there

533
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 6: any chance that fans should believe that this is about time.

534
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 6: Those guys have to work up, work in and they'll

535
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 6: get better as the season go on goes on, Or

536
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 6: do you think that this is just one of those

537
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 6: where they just got to fair how to play better,

538
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 6: because that doesn't necessarily factor in when you're talking about

539
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 6: this position. This the skill set necessary to play that position.

540
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that could be said for anybody, you know,

541
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: two weeks into the season. That's why, like I kind

542
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 3: of mentioned earlier when I was talking about the offensive

543
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 3: running game, like I understand it's only two weeks in

544
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 3: the season. I think with this specific case, they'll looking

545
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: at the defensive interior line. Yes, those two guys they

546
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: got a late start, a much later start than everybody else. Granted,

547
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 3: Linnval Joseph knows the scheme, he's been around it, and

548
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: he's started he didn't start his career in the scheme,

549
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: but he understands where he is in that scheme. And

550
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: as far as Jordan Phillips goes, he's not really asked

551
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 3: to do a whole lot, you know. And I think

552
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: when you look at a defensive interior lineman, from my standpoint, yes,

553
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 3: scheme matters, and yes you need to know what your

554
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: responsibilities are under a certain.

555
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 7: Scheme any given play.

556
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: But I think you can look at all thirty two

557
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 3: teams and you understand like where defensive interior lineman's responsibilities hang,

558
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 3: and they're pretty consistent, and I don't feel like either

559
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 3: of those two guys really matched those responsibilities yesterday. For me,

560
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 3: it was just those guys were getting pushed at the

561
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 3: point of attack.

562
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 7: I mean, and that doesn't get on the ground.

563
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: I mean there was one play I believe it was

564
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 3: Kamara's first touchdown and Jordan Phillips was pushed all the

565
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 3: way into the back of the end zone and that

566
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: play started at.

567
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 7: Like the six yard line. Yeah, I mean, it was,

568
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 7: it was. It was.

569
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 3: It was a rough day for Jordan Phillips in the

570
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: run game. I don't want to see Jordan Phillips on

571
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 3: rundowns anymore. That's that's how I feel.

572
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: About I feel like I let folks down here a

573
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 2: little bit because we talked about this in training camp.

574
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: Because if you do watch him play at Buffalo that

575
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: there were you know, the Dallas game, he was effective

576
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: player there. Philadelphia played a lot better, uh Kansas City.

577
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: You watch those games and you could actually see a

578
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 2: guy that you know that that is active, plays outside

579
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: the tackle box, gets up the field as a pass rusher.

580
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: This doesn't even look the same player. I mean, and

581
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: I wonder you know if you talk to some people

582
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 2: in the pro personnel department with the Cowboys that they

583
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: would probably feel the same way. But yeah, they really

584
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: really struggled. You know, all their defensive tackles struggled yesterday

585
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: in this football game, and and Phillips and Joseph and

586
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: you know you're not gonna I mean, I understand the question.

587
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 2: I'm not going to make an excuse for him because

588
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: they were bad yesterday. And whether they've been in training

589
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: camp or not, you know that it you have to

590
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: play off blocks. You have to be able to hold up,

591
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: you have to be able to turn your guy, hold

592
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: him in place, allow the linebackers. Like I said, Dallas's

593
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 2: run defense will only be as good as their linebackers are.

594
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 2: And if their linebackers are getting blocked every single play

595
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: and having to fight those blocks, Dallas will give up.

596
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: They'll have more days like they did.

597
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: Yesterday, not only fighting blocks, but having to play two

598
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 3: gaps at the same time on multiple occasions. That's that's

599
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: where I think I saw the biggest lack of accountability

600
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: up front for the defensive line was these guys were

601
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: just getting isolated and they were trying to reach around,

602
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 3: and it was it allowed the left guard Lucas Patrick

603
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 3: to get into the second level and just get after

604
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 3: Marrisloulfout or get after Eric Hendricks, and those guys are

605
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 3: trying to take on Patrick while trying to identify, Okay,

606
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: it's Camerica going to come over here. It's Camerica going

607
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 3: to come over here. And somehow he just does both

608
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 3: at the same time because he's a really good running back.

609
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah right, he just splits in half, it goes around

610
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 3: and then comes back together. He had a hell of

611
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: a day too.

612
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 8: And again it is week two. It is week two,

613
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 8: and now my huge believer that the more you do something,

614
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 8: the better you're gonna get at. Obviously given no injuries

615
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 8: or anything like that come into play, but at the

616
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 8: same time, it is to a point where you know,

617
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 8: I believe it when I see it, and I think

618
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 8: that's where a lot of us are. That we expect

619
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 8: something and then something doesn't happen, and now you're just like,

620
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 8: there's no other there's no other thing that you can

621
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 8: do other than sit here, hope for the best, and

622
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 8: then take it one week at a time, one ponent

623
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 8: at a time, because every opponent is going to be

624
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 8: completely different.

625
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 7: Than the prior.

626
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: This should be an exciting week for this defense. It

627
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: should be a very exciting week for them because all

628
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 3: last year they were told, hey, they don't know how

629
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 3: to respond whenever they get run down their throat, and

630
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: it would happen week and week and week again. Now

631
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 3: you have a different scheme, you have a lot of

632
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 3: different personnel, especially on the first two levels, and you

633
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 3: have the best running team in the NL.

634
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 6: You're going to get challenges.

635
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 3: Yes, Since since two thousand, if you look at any

636
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: point since the year two thousand, the Ravens have the

637
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 3: most rushing was in the NFL, like twenty thirteen to

638
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four Ravens, twenty ten to twenty twenty four, Rape,

639
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two to twenty twenty four Ravens. So you're

640
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: gonna get the best running team in the NFL weekend,

641
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: week out, and it's an opportunity to respond. And I

642
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 3: think you wouldn't want a bigger opportunity than this one.

643
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: And it's week three. Like you said, there's still a

644
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 3: lot of learning that can go into place. How does

645
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 3: Mike Zimmer approach this with that team this week. They

646
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: should be really excited about the opportunity.

647
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: In fart, this's the more desperate team because one team

648
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: is zero and two to the other didn't stop the

649
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 2: run worth the day. They're both they're both ye And

650
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: you know me, I'm the big guy of the desperate

651
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: team theory, and I just kind of feel like that

652
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 2: that both teams are desperate.

653
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 3: They I think they really are more a little bit

654
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 3: because they're going on the road. It would be a

655
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 3: big win for them to carry confidence back home. I

656
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 3: think personally the Ravens. But yes, I agree with you.

657
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: Both teams are really desperate coming into this game.

658
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's going to be one of those games where

659
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 6: whoever leaves his game is not going to be in

660
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 6: a good position moving forward. I don't think just from

661
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 6: a psychological standpoint, it's going to be a hard, hard

662
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 6: road at that point. All Right, we're going to take

663

Speaker 6: our take our final break.

664

Speaker 2: We'll come back.

Speaker 6: Let's talk about the offensive side of the ball. There

00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 6: were definitely some things that they could have done better yesterday.

709

Speaker 9: online was reliable and now Todd is trying to be

710
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

711
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,720

Speaker 9: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

713
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

714
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 9: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

Speaker 6: Final segment of the Break live from the SWBC Mortgage studios.

722
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 6: At the start, it's presented by LG. All right, let's

723
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 6: talk about the offense side of the ball. And I

724
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 6: don't remember the last time we've gone into the break

725
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 6: on a Monday morning and we got to the third

726
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 6: segment and still hadn't talked off. But we did it

727
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 6: today because I think it was warranted. But let's talk

728
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 6: about the offense. Dak Prescott yesterday is twenty seven thirty nine,

729
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 6: sixty nine percent completion rate, two hundred ninety three passing yards,

730
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 6: one touchdown, two interceptions, and a seventy eight point three rating.

731
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 6: How would you evaluate his performance.

732
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 3: I might be on the island here, and I'm completely

733
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: okay with that. Dak was the only one that showed

734
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 3: up yesterday. Offensively, I thought he played a fine game.

735
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,479
Speaker 3: He had one bad throw in my opinion, I think

736
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 3: which one would say that was the Tyron Matthew interception.

737
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 3: What was that third quarter? Yeah, But aside from that,

738
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 3: I think Dak was he felt pressure. He did a

739
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 3: good job getting away from it at times. Granted he

740
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: was sacked three times. One of those obviously the fumble

741
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: happened in the red zone that should have been a turnover,

742
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 3: but Tolbert was able to fall back on top of it.

743
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: But aside from that, I thought Dak did a good

744
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 3: job of, you know, distributing the ball all the different

745
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 3: receivers and he was able to get involved. I'll give

746
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 3: another bad decision that I didn't love. It was the

747
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 3: fourth down and he forced it to Brevin span Ford

748
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 3: there in the red zone, and I don't know why

749
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: you trust an unsigned or undrafted free agent in that.

750
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 7: And then.

751
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was the first target he's had in

752
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 3: his NFL career. So it's like, I don't know if

753
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 3: I would have done that, But personally, I think aside

754
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 3: from that, I think I look if I look at

755
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 3: the connection problems that he had with CD, which it

756
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 3: showed up on a pair of occasions, in my opinion.

757
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 3: There was one, obviously, the touchdown ball that he would

758
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 3: have had in the first quarter, where he anticipated Lamb

759
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 3: to break to the pylon, and it said he broke

760
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 3: to the goalpost, and so the ball ended up following

761
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 3: you about seven yards away from liter.

762
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 6: Either one of them ever clarify which was right.

763
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 3: None of them ever clarified which was right, And I

764
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 3: don't believe they're going to just basically.

765
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 6: I would just assuming one of them would take credit, like, yeah,

766
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 6: I probably should have done this. I'm not saying they

767
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 6: would have point out the other person was wrong as

768
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 6: much as they would have said I'm wrong, But I

769
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 6: hadn't heard that.

770
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 3: Dak was asked about it, he just credited to a

771
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 3: miscommunication and trying to get on the same page problem.

772
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 3: And then it happened on a separate occasion as well,

773
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 3: where it was a play down the left sideline. Dak

774
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 3: was trying to throw it up to CD. He anticipated

775
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 3: him falling back to his left or to his right,

776
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 3: Showld and he fell into his left shoulder, and so

777
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 3: there was a kind of a miscommunication there and it

778
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: ended up falling to the turf.

779
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 7: Fortunately for the Cowboys, both of those fell to the turf.

780
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 3: But I think aside from that, I didn't hate the

781
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 3: game from Dak Prescott yesterday. He has no running game

782
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 3: and he has a wide receiver one that he's still

783
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 3: getting on the same page with, and I don't think

784
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 3: that's a fault towards Dak. So I think from the

785
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 3: offensive standpoint, whenever you look at stalling in the red zone,

786
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 3: not having Jake Ferguson obviously is a really big factor

787
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 3: of that, because whenever you look at where Jake Ferguson

788
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 3: is getting the most of his money, it's inside the

789
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 3: thirty five in my opinion, and they didn't have him

790
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 3: in that opportunity. Luke Schoonmaker he did fine in his opportunities,

791
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 3: but he wasn't going to be that guy. And so

792
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 3: I think all in all, I didn't hate the day

793
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 3: from Dak, but the offense as a whole, I don't

794
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 3: feel like was ready to be ready to show out.

795
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 8: I mean, I wasn't a fan of being honest of

796
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 8: like some of the things that I've watched yesterday, and

797
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 8: mainly one thing that I will criticize, and we'll get

798
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 8: into the red zone and all the issues there. But

799
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 8: as far as Dak's game, I expected him to be

800
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 8: a lot more mobile, And I'm not trying to put

801
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 8: everything on his back for sure, because you need everybody

802
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 8: like you need to catch the ball. You need to

803
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 8: be able to hopefully create some balance in the running

804
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 8: game and get help there. Also, the O line needs

805
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 8: to be able to protect you more and create a

806
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 8: better pocket for you to be in it. But at

807
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 8: the same time, given the pressures that happened, I did

808
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 8: expect Dak to be a lot more mobile get out

809
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 8: of the pocket, and because we've seen it happen, we've

810
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 8: seen him be good at throwing. We've seen him be

811
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 8: good at running with the ball, finding somebody open, and

812
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 8: throwing it. So I think that as far as his game,

813
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 8: that's something that lacked and I was disappointed in that,

814
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 8: But overall, I don't know where to pinpoint the issues

815
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 8: in the red zone.

816
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 7: To that point.

817
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 3: Dak was asked yesterday just about how he felt he

818
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 3: could have been a little bit better, and he's always

819
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 3: a guy that would just resort to, hey, I need

820
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 3: to get to the film and see you know, ask

821
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 3: me on Thursday. But he did say, like a thing

822
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 3: that really stood out to him initially was the fact

823
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 3: that he needs to use his feet more so that

824
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 3: that's that was used in his u his press availability

825
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: after he says he needs to work that.

826
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 8: Because sometimes he was standing there like just go take

827
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 8: off you have you have like use them you have,

828
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 8: Like I honestly.

829
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: I don't know how he got the ball to to

830
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: Zeke on that one play where flips and I'm not going,

831
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, she made chicken, you know. Yeah, and

832
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: so it was you know that part of meal. Yeah,

833
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: But the to me that you know there was there

834
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 2: was a couple of times. I think the red zone offense.

835
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: We're going to examine that of course, and uh, you know,

836
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 2: and you mentioned the throat to span Ford, they double inside.

837
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: There's really no word for him to go to the

838
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 2: ball and then everybody they got it covered across the board.

839
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 2: If I could have a couple of plays back for him,

840
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 2: I think the Lamb one. When you talk about the miscommunication,

841
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,479
Speaker 2: how many times have we seen Zach zach Dak touched

842
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: past the ball to the flat to Elliott and allow

843
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: him to turn up. I mean there was that play

844
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 2: the goal line. He faces pressure and it you know,

845
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: usually Dak is the the king of getting it over

846
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: and getting it up the field to allow his guy

847
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: to get into the end zone. The ball ends up

848
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 2: on the ground. The Saints really don't have anybody in

849
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 2: that area. That thing might have been a walk in

850
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 2: touchdown right there if they get the ball, if he

851
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: can get the ball to Elliott the past to Rico Daddle.

852
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 2: I mentioned that one the wheel route. They didn't get

853
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: the pick, but they got enough where if the ball's

854
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: up the field, he.

855
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 6: Had a couple of steps on him.

856
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Daddell could run under that. Now, again that's a

857
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: back that's not Alvin Kamara running routes and stuff like that.

858
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 3: But what if I could on that place specifically, What

859
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 3: really frustrated me about that play was Cooks is wide

860
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 3: open over the middle for about a twenty yard game. Yeah,

861
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: but and I understand that that's the reach and they're

862
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 3: trying to created had the room, right, but go to

863
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 3: the guy who's got twenty yards of space.

864
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's there was no you're you're right, And

865
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 2: I felt like, just looking at it some time, if

866
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna nippick some of his throws, I was thinking, bro,

867
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: just hit that one in the hit that one in

868
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 2: the gap to to the CD, hit the wheel, hit

869
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: the little touch pass to Zeke, and now you're kind

870
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: of like you're feeling a little bit better about Okay.

871
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 2: Those are big time plays. Those are plays you know,

872
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 2: if you get the ball up the field and Doddle

873
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 2: makes the catch, I think could have been a touchdown

874
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 2: right there, you know, and instead it's not, and and

875
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 2: you know the interception. You know, the the second one

876
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 2: was a complete force. The first one was you know, Brooks,

877
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: he's running that route and it's gonna be a big game.

878
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 2: I mean, Deebo, the Paulson debo is not even in

879
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 2: the debo, is not even in the picture. But by

880
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: falling down now he's in the picture.

881
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 3: You know.

882
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: There were some throws that he that he made and

883
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: that that were there were quality throws and then there

884
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 2: was some just unfortunate ones that he made as well.

885
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 6: So we're talking about the red zone yesterday, the Cowboys

886
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 6: had five different times, sorry, five different times when they

887
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 6: were within the New Orleans thirty four. They end up

888
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 6: with four field goals and one turnover on downs. Three

889
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 6: of those times they were in the red zone in

890
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 6: those drives and still ended up with field goals. One

891
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 6: of them they ended up with the turnover on downs.

892
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 6: That being said, what do you think is the biggest

893
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 6: challenge or the biggest problem for the Cowboys right now

894
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 6: when it comes to their red zone offense?

895
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 12: Oh?

896
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 7: Man, I don't think I have an answer for you.

897
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 3: I could, I could look at a couple of things

898
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 3: that have but I think it's been two different issues

899
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 3: in both different games. I think in the Cleveland game,

900
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 3: you had an instance where guys were on different pages

901
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 3: as far as who okay, when you look at last season,

902
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 3: when you look at last season, I was thinking about

903
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 3: how exactly I want to break this down. When you

904
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 3: look at last season and you look at the red

905
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 3: zone threats that they had on offense, you got CD,

906
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 3: you got Cooks, and you got Ferguson. Just talking passing wise, right,

907
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 3: Ferguson obviously leaves late last week in the second half,

908
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 3: Blam and Dak are still not on the same page,

909
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 3: and then Cooks was Cooks was able to get open.

910
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 3: He had a he had that red zone touchdown last week,

911
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 3: so I would prove him as the exception last week specifically. Uh,

912
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 3: but then you look into this week, you don't have Ferguson.

913
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: That misconnection is still off with Lamb. Pressure was getting

914
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 3: to Dack inside the twenty as well. They really dialed

915
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 3: the pressure up inside the red zone, the Saints did,

916
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 3: and I think that's what really kind of affected this

917
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 3: game specifically. But they also didn't have the running game

918
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 3: this week in the red zone whereas they did last week.

919
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 3: And so it was all the same problems that you

920
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 3: had last week in Cleveland amplified with more pressure and

921
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 3: a lack of a running game this week against the Saints,

922
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 3: and that's that's what created and no touchdowns.

923
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 8: In my opinion, if this website would work, I could

924
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 8: look at all the plays.

925
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 12: And the.

926
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, same thing watching him watching the live game exame

927
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 7: thing I'm like, is that thirty one.

928
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 8: No. I don't have an answer for it just yet

929
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 8: because I haven't been able to actually pecked all of

930
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 8: this properly. But it is one of those things that

931
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 8: if I'm being honest, I'm over here on my computer

932
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 8: working and the next thing. You look up and like, oh,

933
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 8: they're about to come off the field, defense is going

934
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 8: back in and you're like, what the heck? How did

935
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 8: it get that fast? Like how did that happen very fast?

936
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 8: But to your point, it's just like I think it's

937
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 8: the inability to run the football, an area where I

938
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 8: think they've been very, very good in past years when

939
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 8: they're able to get into the end zone. Is the

940
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 8: help that comes from that running game, and we're not

941
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 8: seeing that right now. And you talk about the misconnection

942
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 8: with Cee Lamb, that's something that is important to know.

943
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 8: I think they're gonna get better for sure, but Ferguson

944
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 8: not being in the game, that's another weapon that has

945
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 8: been very, very good for Dak in the red zone.

946
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 8: In the red zone as well. I wonder how many

947
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 8: touchdowns his guying from the red zone. I'm talking about

948
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 8: Ferguson specifically, but it's just the tight end position that

949
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 8: has come into him and to play years before that

950
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 8: I can't imagine. But if you ask me a question

951
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 8: and tell you exactly what's wrong, I don't know what

952
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 8: to tell you.

953
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 2: Tell you what execution is a big problem because how

954
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 2: many times did they try and do something creative. They

955
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 2: did the reverse, the flip that that they didn't block, right,

956
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 2: they tried a they tried another flip that that Stele

957
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 2: didn't get out and block. The sack. That the sack

958
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 2: that that Dak took down there was when they ran

959
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 2: five vertical. You see Cooks kind of remove himself like

960
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 2: he he kind of goes like gets a little wider,

961
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: and Dak is looking inside and he's looking at Tolbert inside,

962
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 2: and Tolbert gets doubled and by the time he's going

963
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 2: to maybe come back to Cooks, they already they're sacked

964
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 2: like that. Steele has given up the inside to Granderson

965
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: and then it's ball game from there. So there are

966
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 2: things where they have it blocked. Well, the quarterback they miss.

967
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 2: I mentioned that the little little touch pass that they

968
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 2: didn't get to Zeke was a miss. They ran the

969
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: reverse and didn't block. You know, there's things that there's

970
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 2: uh what other things. I mean, It's just it seems

971
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 2: like to me that they get down there and when

972
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 2: you don't need to have a bust or something happened,

973
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: it happens, and it's caused them not to have the

974
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 2: success that that they need down there.

975
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 3: Let me ask you, what if you're Dak Prescott going

976
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 3: into that game yesterday, who are you relying on in

977
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 3: the red zone you need to make a play, it's

978
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 3: third down. Who are you relying on critically exactly? It's

979
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 3: Cooks And he was getting he was he was getting doubled.

980
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah zone and Lamb Lamb got doubled down there too,

981
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: and Lamb got whacked. I mean they they here, I

982
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 2: mean he got whacked.

983
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

984
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you this.

985
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 6: For me, I always look at any team that's struggling

986
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 6: in the red zone, My first question is run. What

987
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 6: is your running game? Yeah, because if a team is

988
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 6: not worried about your runners, if they're not worried about

989
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 6: you running the ball, that gives them a decided advantage

990
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 6: because now the field is calm, and they can do

991
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 6: a lot of different things with blitzing, they can do

992
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 6: a lot of different things with playing coverage and muddying

993
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 6: things up, like they can make it really tough on

994
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 6: you when you have a compact field. And so I

995
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 6: think this still goes back and it may not always

996
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 6: manifest itself in that way to where you're like on

997
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 6: the running games. Okay, but the fact is if the

998
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 6: other team is not worried about the running game, that

999
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 6: changes how they play you in the red zone. And

1000
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 6: that's what I start with, is I just wonder if

1001
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 6: this running game is potent enough to where it forces

1002
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 6: defenses to play them honest rather than being able to

1003
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 6: do the things they're able to do.

1004
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: They Yeah, you're right, And sometimes it has to do

1005
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 2: with the back too. I mean, they run the ball

1006
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 2: with Vawn for three yards on a little toss and

1007
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 2: you're like, going, oh, they didn't block it very well there,

1008
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 2: and you wonder, I mean Saints are down there running

1009
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 2: and it's seven yards a clip, you know, I mean

1010
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 2: they're scoring from twelve yards out seven yards out, and

1011
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 2: you're thinking, like, and Dallas is trying to do things

1012
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 2: kind of like smoking mirrors instead of being what you're

1013
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 2: talking about some you know, going on and running the

1014
00:45:58,520 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: ball and getting pushed in that.

1015
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 7: In that regard, Baltimore would never do this.

1016
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 3: But if I was Baltimore, I'm I'm coming out next

1017
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 3: week and I'm running dime until they can show it

1018
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 3: that they can run the ball.

1019
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 7: I'm running die the whole game.

1020
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna force them, Please, you're gonna you're gonna

1021
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 2: dare them to run the ball.

1022
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 7: Daring them to run the ball. Absolutely.

1023
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 6: I think that that would be the game plan for

1024
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 6: a lot of teams as they played Dabllas, because the

1025
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 6: last thing you want to do is just give us

1026
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 6: double lamb lamb like he can go all the way

1027
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 6: in one place. So yeah, you have to almost think

1028
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 6: about it like that. I mean, I think that that's

1029
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 6: what most teams probably have.

1030
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,959
Speaker 3: I can hear Jerry Maddalon in the back of my voice,

1031
