Really, 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.240 it wasn't much of a game most of the game 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:08.680 from the opening kick. I think the Saints really had 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.840 their way, especially offensively with the Dallas defense. I don't 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:13.000 think I think it was all the way until the 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.760 fourth quarter before Dallas even got a stop. And what 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:17.640 I mean by a stop is didn't allow them in 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.160 the end zone, not even field goals. It was a beating, 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.160 and so we'll talk about that. Let's start first, as 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.679 we do every Monday, I want you to go big picture. 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.080 We'll dive into the nuances of the game, but big picture, 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.240 tell me what you think was the storyline of yesterday's game. 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:33.959 We'll start with you, Nicka. 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.880 Yeah, defense just getting overwhelmed, both in the past game 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:38.319 and the run game. But I think it started in 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.960 the run game. You see these guys getting absolutely assaulted 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:42.720 at the point of attack. 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:43.800 I mean it was it was bad. 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.600 I look at the defensive interior line and I know 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.520 there's a lot of still new faces there, but you 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.000 bring in these two veteran guys that you would hope 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.120 would have some sort of impact at least in the 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.240 run game, and you just did not see that. I 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.440 know we talked back at camp whenever George and Phillips 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.800 was traded for from the Giants, and I was a 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.000 little bit bullish on how I didn't feel like he 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:07.360 was an effective run stopper. 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:09.400 And I think that really. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.359 Started to rear its head yesterday, especially as that game 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.760 started to wear on and and those reps started to 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.360 get a little bit more taxing physically. Lin Val Joseph. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.680 He wasn't getting after it either. He was reaching at 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.680 times and was just getting pulled around, and it made 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:24.600 life really. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.680 Difficult for that second level. 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.520 I mean, there's there's multiple snaps where you see Mary 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.200 cleafel De, Marvin Overshown, Eric Kendricks trying to play two 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.040 gaps while they have another guy coming on top of 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.560 them to block, so they're trying to fit around the 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.280 block and cover two gaps at the same time. And 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.040 it just it allowed Alvin Kamara to have the day 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.440 that he had four touchdowns and over one hundred and 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:46.920 what am I looking at? One hundred and eighty all 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.359 purpose yards? He had a day and I think offensively. 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.160 You know I've mentioned it time and time again, but 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.639 this running game needs a hard look in the mirror. 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.600 It's getting to a point now to where do you 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.160 feel comfortable with this running game being the statfablished product 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:02.680 for the rest of the season. And I know it's 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.040 only two games in and I know we have a 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.600 limited sample size, but this is gonna be a situation 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.520 where we look up in five six weeks and it's 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.920 if they haven't made any changes at that point, they 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.280 will have to make a change. Before it's too late, 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.120 and then they're probably running up against time with the 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.440 trade deadline at that point. But nevertheless, I think whenever 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.919 you look at the biggest problems that this team had yesterday, 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.520 I feel like it starts with stopping the run and 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.000 running the ball. And it's kind of funny because I 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.720 go back to mobile at the very beginning of the 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.840 offseason and Jerry Jones said the two things he wants 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.160 to get better at this offseason is stopping the ball 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.320 and running the ball better. And those are the two 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.680 things that were the biggest catalysts to the loss yesterday. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.920 What can I say? I say in this year, I 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.280 was like, you know what, I'm not gonna care. I 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:49.800 don't care. 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:51.440 I do not care. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.200 I'm gonna handle this as a job. I'm gonna come 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.560 in and do what Derek requires me to do in 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.160 this job. But the reality is that I do freaking 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.200 care and every time, like, I'm still finding myself getting 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.880 upset because and I'm gonna divide it into two parts. 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.400 Let's start with the offense. The offense, I know what 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.320 I saw last week, so what they did this week 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.400 didn't necessarily surprise me. I did expect them to be 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.839 a lot better, especially playing at home second week. I 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.240 expected the offense to be more in sync and just 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.159 get into the end zone more times. But it was 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.120 very similar to what happened in Cleveland, where they just 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.360 could not produce offensively. They got two places where they 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.720 were moving the ball, but they just cannot get into 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.679 the end zone. And then you got Brandon Aubrey again 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.560 being the one scoring the most points for the offense. 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.760 Now on the defensive side of the ball, it is 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:53.440 extremely disappointed. Disappointing because what I saw week one was 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.720 extremely exciting from the get go, from beginning to end. 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.720 You saw such an aggressive defense, and then it was 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.080 letely the opposite happening what we saw yesterday, just a 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.000 defense that they just could not catch. 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:07.880 A break and. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.280 There were a lot of mistackles. You saw it, people 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.720 just not being on time where they needed to be. 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:20.200 It's just like the New Orleans offense were just so 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.800 much more ahead. They just had so much more juice 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.440 to them, and we're playing such a much faster football, 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:31.040 such a much faster game, and so that's that's the 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.400 most disappointing part. That, at least the side of the 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.799 ball that I expected to be a lot better once again. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.039 They just cannot handle the running game. It's just it's 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.520 gonna be a problem again. And what's troubling is like, 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.320 I don't know how you fix that right now. You know, 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.960 you brought in size. We talked about it last week. 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.120 You bringing guys that have the size, and you expect 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.120 it to be better. And it's just a very disappointing 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:01.320 performance of a Mike Zimmer defense that I expected to 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:02.599 be so much better. 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.080 They didn't respect the right side of your defense in 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.440 this game at all. And the way they formationed you, 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.160 and then the way they ran the ball and the 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.560 success that they were able to have very simple with 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.839 the toss sweeps and things like that to able to 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.359 get to the perimeter. You know, the right side of 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.440 the defense has been a little bit of a problem. 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.120 You know, we've seen We've seen Lords play over there. 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.599 He got blocked a couple different times on the crack 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.160 on the crack toss. They got Parsons blocked over there. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.600 Everybody that played off that right edge had a little 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.600 bit of a problem. If you're going to stop the 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.400 run for the Dallas Cowboys, your linebackers are going to 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:38.880 have to do it, no one else is going to 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.880 be able to do it. And the Saints did a 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:45.520 really nice job of getting blockers up onto your linebackers, 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.040 and so really kind of starts with the defensive tackles, 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.159 as you mentioned. So if they secure the defensive tackles quickly, 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.240 and now that allows the guards to get up on 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.800 the linebackers. Every one of these cowboy linebackers were having 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.560 to fight blocks the whole and they over ransom plays. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.440 You ask, well, where was overshown in this game? Overshown 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.599 is not a nickel player. Well's that's I mean, he's 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.600 not He's not a bass player. Leah Fallo is your 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.760 base linebacker. And so if you get into if Dallas 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.120 plays nickel, and this is what the Saints do to you. 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.480 They get in twenty one personnel, two backs, one tight end, 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.560 they get in twenty two personnel, two backs, two tight ends, 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.760 and they make you play base defense the whole game. 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.320 And then all of a sudden, you know a lot 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.880 of teams are so used to playing nickel and having 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.320 nickel fits, so all of a sudden, now you're playing 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.160 with rookie like Lea Foul and he's fighting blocks. Kendricks 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.720 who makes a million tackles in week one, has to 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.200 make a ton of tackles. They can't get him to 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.840 the ball. The screenplay fifty seven yard screen great call, 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.120 blitz coming from the right. All of a sudden they 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.960 slipped the screen to the left. You're thinking, well, wait, 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:56.400 brought us Wait, why isn't why isn't Micah on Kamara there? Well, 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.280 it's Kendrick's on Kamara. I'll take that in space. That's 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.480 a linebacker on a legitimate big time back. I think 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:06.120 I'd be okay. Carbridge, boll overrun the play. You know, 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.160 these are the kinds of things. Run the ball, the 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.760 outside tanks, the right end tank. Seeing this a million times, 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.400 crack crack, crack. You know, he jumps outside and he's 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.400 able to kind of maybe make the ball come back 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.720 inside or they get bodies over there. He gets cracked. 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.800 Now the corner gets gets blocked out. They did a 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:28.160 great job of getting blockers on defenders and then Kamara 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.320 making somebody miss, and that was that was a big 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.319 part of your game for them. It's pretty simple. The 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:39.319 toss plays. They did not respect your perimeter of your defense, 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.959 and they felt like that they could control the edge 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.959 and then seal everybody to the inside, and they were 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.360 very successful doing that. I mean again, I mentioned Kamara 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:53.480 eleven attempts on the outside left for seventy seven yards 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.760 and two touchdowns. That's that's digside over there, and we're 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.920 talking to We've talked about that before, even when Dallas 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.480 didn't play the run very well. What was it? We've 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.600 mentioned this. They take care of the end, and this 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.880 is when they were played a ton of dime. They 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.760 take care of the end. They can't get the safety 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.520 in the fill in the alley and they kicked digs, 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.400 you know. I mean, that's that's that's where they're at. 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.520 They're like, hey, they're still not good enough. We're going 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.360 to take a chance that they're going to not be 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.360 good enough on their right side. 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.400 So let me ask you, I should we be at 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.760 this point having more conversations about the safeties even and 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.079 not maybe fix on those gaps. I know yesterday that 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.920 big long touchdown. Yeah, both your safeties are back there. 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:36.599 You gotta be able to run with you. 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.320 Yeah, it was. You know what happens to you, though, 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.000 is the Saints create windows when they throw the ball 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.000 the early, the very early down when they threw the 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.000 ball to Shaheed for nine yards. Okay, what did we 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.360 talk about in Carolina? They did in week one They 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.320 motioned Kamara to get the space and then sit the 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.360 guy right in the middle. Well, what did they do 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.040 in this game? They faked the screen going left, They 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.400 took the they took Taysom Hill and a blocker and 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.240 moved it and that created space. Now your guys are 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.880 reading flowing boom. That thing opens up there. Now the 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.920 ball that goes down the field, the deep pass, Okay, 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.240 it's a it's a it's a cover. It's a cover too. Look, 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.600 Carson has got to jam that guy. Carson cannot let 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.840 Shahid just run duck him and run vertical on the 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.840 safeties like that. Yeah, So you know there's things that 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.840 you have to do in order to play good defense. 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.280 If your technique says, jam that guy, what happens if 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.920 you jam him, well you get you get a rusher 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.319 that almost gets home. You know, cars standing there in 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.400 the middle of the pocket. And if he has if 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.400 he has to wait on Shahee to clear, then they're 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.800 going to maybe that's going to be a sack, a 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:48.400 hit ball in the air. Just just that, just that 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.640 not getting a jam off the line of scrimmage, allow 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.880 the guy who could really run to get on your safeties. 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.560 That's that's just the kind of the things that happens 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.240 to this team when they're there's some physical problems, don't 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.360 get me wrong, but there's also problems that they have 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.760 when it comes to playing the scheme. 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.280 Yeah, o diggi'szel almost got home on that play. Yeah, 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.599 it was. But it was a beautiful ball, hell of 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:12.960 the ball. 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.120 Yeah, And it was so interesting I saw. I noticed 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.200 early in the first drive. What they did was they 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.600 were running those crossing routes and they hit Dallas twice 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:21.600 on those crossing routes. 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:22.720 Dallas was in man. 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:24.880 My guess is at that point they were like, okay, 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.560 let's let's back away maybe from trying to try to 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.640 do as much man, because they're beating us on these 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.840 crossing routs. You go to cover two, as you said, 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.400 and then here we go right up the right. You 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:35.360 get a flit the safety. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.640 You get a situation too, where you're playing single high 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.400 and you're playing a single high. Look, so you got 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.440 Wilson in the middle of the field, you got hookers 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.040 down taking taking the tight end, and so now you 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.360 got the single high. Look, well, what happens in Hooker 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.240 gets hookers out and then the cross I mean the 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:58.320 route comes behind behind that. So they carry, they carry 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:02.240 Wilson deep and they run the route. And what happened 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.520 is Dix is playing at depth right, and there's not 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.560 just a way for him. If there's no way, I mean, 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.720 it's a free run inside. And so you're like going, 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.400 whoa look out? You know? 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.679 Is that is that a skime problem? That's I mean, 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.600 now when you're gonna play I gotta play man, you're 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.000 gonna give him that much of a cushion. 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.480 I don't want to be accused of being a coach guy, 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:24.040 because I'm just telling you to me, you're asking Digs 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.079 to do a lot to have to If you're going 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.160 to say that's good, route has to be carried, and 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.920 you're playing that thing at depth and that route is 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:36.240 coming inside hard, that's that's that's a pretty That's a 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.560 pretty tough one to play if you're playing man and 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.360 you gotta trail it again, I'm not a coach. Not 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.000 a coach. I'm sure there's somebody over there is gonna 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.119 watch this and they're gonna go brought it to your dumbass, 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.320 and that's that's fine. But to me, it seems like 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:53.280 that that's a hard route to carry playing from depth, 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.280 and it happened to like you say, it happened a 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.679 couple of different times. But the Saints do a really 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:04.160 good job of creating windows for their receivers to run into, 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.840 and it gives the quarterback the opportunity to make some throws. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.240 Not only the route, but the speed of Shahed too. 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.000 Yeah, I think there was a lot of times we 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.199 looked up at the secondary last year and understood that 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:19.520 they had some problems with speed guys. And no matter where, 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.640 you kind of see some guys come out, see some 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.800 guys come in. I mean, compared to what that season 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.800 looked like last year, you don't have Gilmour Bland on 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.680 the field, but you have Digs and Carson. So where 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.640 where does this kind of come into play? Are just 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.960 all these guys bad at covering speed? And I think 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:34.640 I think we're getting to a point to where we 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.760 probably need to identify that just because I mean, you 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.319 look at Rashid Shahed in this game, you call back 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.240 to oh, I'm forgetting his name from the Arizona game 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.400 last year that had a huge, huge day. 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.000 Greg Dortch, I believe. 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.280 Yeah, there's Brown also too, right. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.720 Absolutely, And so I just think I think whenever you 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.719 look at these speed type weapons, it's it's going to 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.520 be a problem for the Dallas evens. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.559 Well looking at I was gonna say, looking some of 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.800 the secondary guys and in a cornerback when you're watching 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:03.040 this of the film and they're having depending on the 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.400 routes that was being run and they're having to make 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.800 the cut to adjust and follow that cut right there, 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.679 slows them down so much to like the adjustment, and 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.000 it creates so much separation. And you see some of 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.080 these receivers and you talk about speed, I mean, that's 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.760 the main thing that stood out from the offense that 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.480 the Dallas defense just could not catch up. They were 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.280 so much faster in every single play, whether it was 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:30.200 running the ball or throw in in the passing game, 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:34.920 and even then, like I said, just making those adjustments, 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.640 they just could not could not follow there exactly and 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:39.600 so much separation. 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:41.840 To that exact point, there was a there was a 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.280 play where Diggs was giving Shaheed quite a bit of 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.280 depth and she he broke and Digs anticipated that he 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:49.920 was going to come at him. Oh yeah, by the 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.040 time he broke, there was probably seven yards in the 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.360 tow so much I'm trying to find the exact play, 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.520 but she ended up getting like twenty yards on that play. 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.800 So it's it's just it's tough. 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.320 You know, I know every but he made some offensive 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:06.120 comments as well about it the running game. The game 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.320 was out of hand. Their running game wasn't gonna help you. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.160 I think the red zone offense needs to be examined. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:11.400 Yep. 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:15.080 And that's where that's to me. If you're gonna say, 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.720 as Ambar in her assessment was talking about moving the 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.920 ball and getting it. Now it turns into Aubrey kicking 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.280 field goals, you need to look at where you are 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.800 offensively in the red zone. The running game, I think 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.840 it is what it is right now. But the red 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.960 zone offense, to me, is a bigger issue than what 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:35.920 their running game is. 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:37.640 And we're gonna get to that that there are some 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.160 when we start digging into the offense, that team seems 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.160 to be the stark difference there because the game would 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.160 have obviously much closer. I'm not sure Dallas would have 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.560 known with the defensive effort they had yesterday, but certainly 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.560 would have been much more of a ball game if 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.000 your offense could have scored more touchdowns in the inn 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:52.280 than that. 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.120 You needed to stay with them in that game and 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.440 pray you were going to get a stop. And you 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.400 didn't get a stop, so that that was the problem. 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.840 You're going to need stops. You didn't get him. But 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.160 they also left some plays on the field. The wheel 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.160 route could have been a touchdown if the balls thrown 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.080 out there. We saw the one where Lamb had an 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.280 inside route that was a misconnection that could have been 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.120 a touchdown. They left some They left some big plays 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:14.880 out on that field. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.440 All right, we're going to take our first break when 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.480 we come back. I do real quick before we move 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.240 to our attention to the offense. I do want to 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.320 talk about the pass rush for the Cowboys and maybe 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.480 the non existence of the pass rush.
