Forward slash O led Evo. 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:02.480 Welcome to the show. Nick is now kick Yeah, both 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.520 of them like that. I didn't see to exactly. We're 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.560 talking about the Detroit game last night. He had two 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.240 kicks exactly that, like both just kind of scurred it 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.640 right inside the upright. And that game was a good 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.080 game though. That was a really really good game, and 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.720 I just kept thinking, the team will be here next weekend. 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.840 That's a good team right there. Both these teams are 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.600 I think created in that same image of just tough. 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.959 They'll battle you, they play physical like it's it's gonna 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:33.679 be an interesting game. But we'll get to all that. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.600 We've got plenty of time to talk about that this 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.679 week as we get read extra day. Yeah we do, 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.680 because it's a Monday night game. So but but today 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.720 it is our job to break down what we saw yesterday. 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.680 Cowboys go down to the Eagles thirty four to six, 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.160 a game that I you know, there's been a lot 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:55.280 of games this year where in my opinion, the score 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.720 didn't really reflect what you saw in the field. And 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.360 to me, yes today was a similar thing, but for 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.320 different reasons. Because what I saw from the defense in 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.040 the second half, I mean the first half to me, 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.519 isn't reflected in the score. I thought the defense played 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.680 a pretty good game. But Philly put up thirty four points. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.200 A lot of that came on turnovers by the offense, 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.040 but they put up thirty four points. What would be 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.520 the storyline of the game for you guys, Let's start 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.440 with you, Broy. 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:36.360 It was I think that they found something with overshown 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.639 as a rusher. I know we talked about it here 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.480 and I'm going to try in a thirty four to 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:46.600 six shellacking. I'm not gonna sit here and you know, 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.280 and just beat down something that's already beat down. This 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.360 team is not good enough. You saw it. Your talent 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.640 coren area, especially right now at quarterback. You just can't 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.519 compete with the quarterbacks you have. You know, you've had 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.720 some problem. He had to make a spot start at 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.919 offensive tackle. The left tackle. Kid did a great job. 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.960 He had one bad play, had one bad play that 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.760 ended up being a sack. But we've talked about on 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.240 this show. Okay, now start to focus on some things, 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.400 some positive things for some young players, or some scheme 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.640 things you see different. I really appreciate the fact that 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.240 Mike Zimmer came up with a scheme that really confused 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.000 Hurts when it came to the double a gap look 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.720 with the blitz putting three linebackers in the middle and 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.720 then rushing one of them drop two and then mixing 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.560 up who they were going to rush. So you're going 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.240 to talk about positivity about as far as maybe some 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:43.720 defensive stuff that going forward overshown as a pass rusher. 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.400 I had a gut feeling that this guy and what's 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.160 kind of unfortunate for him is the touchdown right before 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:55.160 the half. He's got Hurts dead to rights and he 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.840 usually doesn't miss in space like that. He just overrat 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.800 He was so fast, I mean nobody picked him up 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.880 and so he was so fast it hurts and Hurts 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.400 did a really nice job of just what you see 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.080 how many times we watch quarterback drills in training camp. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.960 We always work on, you know, taking the ball and avoiding, 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.200 and that's what Hurts was able to do. But I'm 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.000 looking at this, I'm looking at him as such a 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:24.320 positive light on something that's been so wrong all year, 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.440 you know, and I'm looking at I'm looking at awesome 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.320 Richards getting a start at left tackle when now, how 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.160 much reps did he really get? Maybe he got a 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.400 lot of reps because of the the next problem, the 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.640 next shoulder problem with Geyton, But he went out there 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.000 and played a whale of a game. I mean, Mozzie 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.920 Smith actually had three really good snaps where he looked 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.280 like an NFL defensive tackle. You know, He's like extending, 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.680 gets rid of Cam Jerg and just throws in basically 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.320 on the ground, stops it up. You know, makes a 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.839 player or two. You know, those are the things I'm 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.239 looking for now because I know this team's not good enough. 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.160 I just know they're not good enough, and the storyline 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.440 is always going to be especially this year. The margin 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.920 of error is so small. You just can't, you know, 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:11.760 you just can't, you know, have anything. They can't. Nothing 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.800 comes easy, but the margin mirror is really small. I mean, 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.359 your kid out there at left corner, you know, the 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.040 double move is killing him. Now he's now fighting that 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.520 where they've realized that, Okay, you can't throw it at 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.640 Digs because Digs makes a damn good play. They got 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.040 exactly what they wanted on the route. I mean, it's 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.080 going to be a touchdown. Digs is just like, nah, no, 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.760 you're not. It's very similar to what Branch did to 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.840 Dak in the Detroit game. It's like, wait a minute, 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.080 your eyes aren't overlooking at that flat, it's looking inside. 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.840 Hurts did the same thing and Digs made a hell 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.560 of a play. So you know, those are the things 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.760 you just kind of, you know, you kind of look 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.160 at as a positive aspect from the team. Yeah, it's 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.880 it does it's no good right now, just to can 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.720 this team is what it is. You just now have 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:04.080 to figure out what are the pieces going forward With 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:05.680 a lot of time left. I mean, there are a 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.200 lot of games I just don't feel they're going to 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.520 do very good. But at least I'm going to now 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.440 take the approach of like, Okay, it is what it is. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.560 You don't have your quarterback, find me the players that 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.360 are going to be part of this future, and see 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.080 how they play the remainder this season. 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:21.360 Yeah. 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.400 Well, yesterday for me marked the end of my grieving 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:30.680 period of like, Okay, now I'm in acceptance and this 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.600 is what we have and this is what it is, 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.239 and that's it. Like yesterday, and I remember you post 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.920 a question whether we should start looking into the draft 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.120 and all that last week, but I was curious to 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.760 see if anything would change as far as the game 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.000 plan for the offense, and with you having a different quarterback, 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.479 that did not change. You showed up with basically the 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.560 same exact game plan and no adjustments, not type of 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.520 any type of creativity. We've been talking about that word 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.279 all throughout the season, but there was nothing different. Like, 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.920 I haven't seen Mike McCarthy do anything different as far 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.640 as a play caller, and when he has, like for example, 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.040 that package that he threw Trey Lensing for the first time, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.880 it was like, what what are we doing here to 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:20.040 It was interesting, but it's just okay, you've accepted this, 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.600 outcome this and now you go into game. As far 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.320 as me, you go into game just relaxed and looking 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.960 for those moments, those exciting moments. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:30.240 That will occur. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.720 And it just goes to show once again, despite of 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.400 what some people think about Micah Parsons, he's still a 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.160 very important key player to these to this defense. It 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.120 is very clear when he's on the field versus when 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.720 he's not on the field, it changes everything. And I 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.640 think the way that they used the marming overshown was 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.320 clearly a new light there. And with the combination of 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.680 Micah Parsons, I think it makes me feel more excited 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:00.200 into like, hopefully Micah's future is here in Dallas and 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:04.680 maybe the combination of this two together is an exciting 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.200 piece for this defense looking forward. But also it just 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.880 goes to show how important having a pass rush is 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.320 to your game, and this is something that the Cowboy's 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.640 defense has been lacking all year long, and it just 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:23.120 changes everything. It's unfortunate that your defense did basically all 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.760 they could do for you. But yet once again, you 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.800 can all get into the end zone. You cannot score touchdowns. 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.960 The offense is just unable to generate any kinds of 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.640 points other than those two field goals by Brandon Aubrey. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:38.600 But you can't. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.760 There's only so much you can ask a defense when 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.720 your offense is playing the way that it is. 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.480 And they are gonna get tired. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.199 They did everything they could in the first half, So 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.400 the second half, I mean, I'm not getting. 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.920 Mad at the stop coming out of half. They went 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.000 three and out coming out of half, and you're thinking like, okay, 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.120 maybe you could find a way to get something going. 0:08:58.160 --> 0:08:59.960 I think your assessment is absolutely right. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.719 You know. The interesting thing is if you look at 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.439 the defense, there really was only one point of consistent 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.920 failure in my opinion right now, that was the corner 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.360 I'm just saying position wise, that was the cornerback. They 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.880 kept going to the same spot because they that's where 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.800 they can go. But when you talk about the running game, 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.480 which we talked about last week, they didn't really have 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.320 the kind of day on the ground that you quarter 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.520 are going to have. The quarterback killed you more. And 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.400 I asked that question last remember I said, which one 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.319 do you worry more about in the rushing game, and 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.839 but I think that it was clear that they had 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.040 a good game plan for how to bottle up Saquon 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:37.920 Barkley a great day against them, But it was really 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.439 more about that cornerback position. And that's where I look 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.840 at this defense and I'm like, for me, the defense 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.360 this year is all about injuries. The story of what 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.320 we've seen is all about injuries. You give them both 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.920 their cornerbacks, you give them their defensive ends, you give 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.920 them the linebackers, and what they could have figured out 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.440 with overshown, I think this defense plays a much different season, 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.280 and I think they're okay. The baffling thing for me 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.440 was what we saw yesterday with the offense and what 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.760 we've really seen all season with the offense, which is 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.360 a huge let down from the standpoint of what they 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.440 were last year to what they are this year. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.719 Cooper Rush looked like a guy that never started in 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.439 an NFL game yesterday. Yeah, you know, and that's that's 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.680 the unfortunately shot by that. Yeah I am, because to me, 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.120 when he came off the bench against Atlanta, man a 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.600 beautiful throw down the down the field of ceedee lamb 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.080 and all of a sudden it's CD. It just you know, 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.640 it gets too far. They had one to Tolbert. Those 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.199 too far, I didn't understand. To me, that looked like 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.079 a guy that was very nervous about And maybe he 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.440 was nervous. Maybe you've talked about the offensive line all 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.880 year about it's the ability to protect, and maybe he 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.319 was worried about Ausome Richards over there, you know, and 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:44.880 maybe it's like get the ball. I'll get the ball, 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.120 you know. But there were a couple of times where 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.160 that he didn't get the ball out, you know, and 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.360 you know, a veteran quarterback dropping a snap, a simple 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.839 shotgun snap. They've got the play block. But you go 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.040 back and watch it. They got the play blocked. It's 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.160 going to be a toss going to the right. They 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.360 got the thing blocked. He just catched the ball and 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.600 hand it and hand it to or flip it to Dabble. 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.520 That's going to be a positive play. But yeah, they 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.679 to me, you know, you look at the interception that 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:18.319 they had, the interception that that that Lance threw. Man, 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.000 he's got no business throwing that ball because to me, 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.120 you know, it's one of those things Tobert is just 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.959 getting mugged. I mean, there's just I mean, you're thinking, okay, 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.880 he's gonna win one on one ounce and that was 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.959 a backup corner. You know, that's that's ringo that he's 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.640 going on the backup corner. And he still didn't separate 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.000 off that. You know, he's getting mugged the whole way 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.720 down the field. And you know, Lance throws the ball 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.400 and you're like going why And then you know that 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.880 you mentioned Ambar about the stuff in the red zone, 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:50.520 the fumble. You know, the fumbles happens. Even if even 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.480 if he holds onto the ball, they're gonna get a 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.319 holding call on span Fod. It's going to now make 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.559 it second in you know, second and thirteen from the 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.520 you know thirteen. So I mean it's it's our second 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:08.120 goal from the thirteen. They just can't they can't stay 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:09.840 out of their own way. I mean, they can't. They 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.559 just can't. It's it's just hard for them to do 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.679 anything with any I mean, the one they have like 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.520 one drive a game where they look like an NFL offense, 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.840 and then the rest of the time it's just it's 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.920 it's just it's it's just disheartening. YEP, it really is 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:26.360 all right. 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:27.960 We're gonna take our first break when we come back. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:29.720 I want to talk a little bit deeper about Cooper 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.079 Rush and if what you saw yesterday was more of 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.880 a reflection of the game plan, because I don't think 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.760 there were a lot of quick, quick check down type 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:40.960 routes that they were running. Or do you think there 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.760 were some opportunities downfield that he just didn't see, they 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.400 didn't choose to take, or the pass rush got to him. 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.000 We'll talk about that when we come back.

All right, 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.600 let's talk a little bit more about the quarterback position. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.760 I haven't been able to watch the full game back, 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.240 I've gotten about halfway through it. One thing that I 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.600 did notice was that it seemed like a lot of 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.320 the routes that they were running, a lot of the 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.200 plays that they ran were designed plays to get the 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.000 ball out quick. Is that what you've seen as well? 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:06.480 Yeah? 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.880 And do you think this was a situation where that 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.200 was the game plan? Because maybe it's because of Austin 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.080 Richards and they were a little afraid. Maybe it's because 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.160 of the whole offensive line, because offensive line hasn't been 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:15.840 great all year. 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:16.520 That's a good point. 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.320 Or is it a situation where there were opportunities downfield 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.120 and and and Cooper just missed them. 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.360 There weren't many opportunities down the field. They didn't try 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.240 to throw the ball down the field. It was very 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.280 reminiscent of the Atlanta game plan, where everything was short 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.520 and hopeful run after catch. So there really wasn't anything 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.880 of some you know, those massive deep shot. The one 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.680 deep shot that they did take down the field. They well, 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:43.800 they tried one on third down to Brooks that bounce. 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.040 Then Cooper had a ball that was short, another ball 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:51.120 that was short to Brooks. On the other sidelines. He 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.960 had Ceedee Lamb open on a on a vertical route 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.840 that they they missed. But other than that, everything was 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.200 zero to nine and hope that maybe you get a 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.960 broken tackle and get more yards out of it. Everything 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.080 was pretty much quick at the quick, the curls, the hitches, 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:15.080 some drag stuff, but nothing that that would give the Eagles. 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.800 They they must have been really, really, really nervous about 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.640 this pass rush, but I think for the most part 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.600 they held up pretty pretty well, you know, for the 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.080 pressures and stuff that they were a couple of times, 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.200 like I say, we're you know that the one sack 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:35.800 that that Austome Richard gave up. It was his worst 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.200 technique of the game. You know, he was over the 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.399 tops of his feet, he was overextended, he couldn't adjust, 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:42.840 and it happened to be a sack. 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:43.680 You know. 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.440 But that's you know, that's that they they needed to 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.560 have something planned to go more down the field. I 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.240 wish they would have tried to keep on running the 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.360 ball a little bit more, but you know, the game 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.240 gets out of hand for him. And once the game 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.000 gets out of hand for him, then Mike turns into Okay, 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.480 we have to throw it now, but we're not throwing 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.040 it with any any type of purpose. You threw it 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.320 with some purpose when Rush came in in the Atlanta game, 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.280 because you had no choice. Well, yesterday it just it wasn't. 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:14.040 It wasn't a very good game from recognition and acory standpoint. 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.320 I mean, there was a time where they just remembering 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.400 they run a route inside there. They had a couple 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:24.000 of weird plays where they run the ball. You remember 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.480 CD runs and doesn't see he doesn't turn around and 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:30.200 get the ball. It's like they're running a screen. They're 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.440 setting up a screen and Cooper rushed through it. Like 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.200 it was a regular route. 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:35.800 And CD was actually looking he was. 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.440 Blocking the block, and you got lineman peeling out and 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:41.879 a bat and you got Dabele is like checking and 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.320 then going to his right, and now the ball is 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.720 being thrown over the middle of the field and Lamon 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:48.840 even looking for the ball, and you're like, going, the 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.320 hell was that busted play? But everybody else is running 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.840 screen but the quarterback right, so you know, I mean, 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.800 it's the one guy that needs to run the screen 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.480 is not running the screen. And then he had the throw. 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:03.520 They had a double they had a double end cut. 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.399 He threw the ball too high to Tobart early in 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.920 the game. It almost got intercepted h Tolbert's open and 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.639 if he doesn't like Tobert, he's got Turpin right behind that. 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.080 And a throw that he made in the Atlanta game 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:20.080 on four down inside to get a first down. He 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:22.640 passed on it, but he threw the ball way too 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.080 high and over the top of Tolbert's head. He just 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.680 looked like a quarterback that it was making his first start, 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:32.399 and that's unfortunate because he's he's played quite a bit. 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.119 When you when you think about, you know, for a 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:35.080 backup quarterback. 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:36.880 Yeah, Yeah, there's some type. 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:40.040 Of disconnect happening there because and we again we talked 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:44.600 about it last week. You expect your backup quarterback to 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:47.600 be ready to go and not looked like that, especially 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:49.639 for a guy like him who has done it before. 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:54.399 And I the crazy thing to me is that there 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:55.679
