Speaker 3: World headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts, Barry Church,
Speaker 3: Anthony Dorsett, Demntrey Moore, and new He Scrugs.
Speaker 4: Welcome into the Players Lounge, brought to you by Aristocrat
Speaker 4: Gaming here from the Star in Frisco, SWBC Studios. I'm
Speaker 4: Kyle Yeoman's filling in for new He Scrugs here this afternoon.
Speaker 4: Please to be joined by the rest of the cast
Speaker 4: and crew of the Players Lounge. Extra spicy today right
Speaker 4: in locker room. Yeah, a little bit good. This is
Speaker 4: good for me. We had our podcast this morning on
Speaker 4: Talking Cowboys. We kind of went through it and ranted
Speaker 4: a little bit about the thirty one fourteen loss the
Speaker 4: Cowboys had at the hands of the Chicago Bears. Now
Speaker 4: I get to talk to the guys that really know
Speaker 4: what's going on, and I'm saying that's directly looking at
Speaker 4: Isaiah stand back from so.
Speaker 5: It's stand back.
Speaker 4: I love Isaiah.
Speaker 5: Standback.
Speaker 4: We've got Anthony dor set Demandray Moore, Barry Church PC
Speaker 4: over here, Chris Beam in the back of Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 4: All right, Berry, YopE, you talked about it a little
Speaker 4: bit on post game last night.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: It was rough.
Speaker 7: It was rough, and you know, we dissected it a
Speaker 7: little bit, you know, in the post game, you know,
Speaker 7: our thoughts offensively, defensively, coaching, We we went through the whole
Speaker 7: gamdid but after, you know, sitting down taking another look
Speaker 7: at the tape and seeing what's going on defensively, I'm
Speaker 7: even more worried about this team than I was after
Speaker 7: the game.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not gonna lie to you, but when looking.
Speaker 7: At it, I just I just don't understand the lapses
Speaker 7: in coverage.
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna start there first. I'm start in the
Speaker 6: secondary first, and.
Speaker 7: I just don't understand the lapses in coverage like I
Speaker 7: can under you know, one or two trick plays here
Speaker 7: and there, you might have a guy open, but consistently,
Speaker 7: you know, having wide receivers open where there's a ten
Speaker 7: yard gap between them and the nearest defender.
Speaker 6: Is just it's remarkable.
Speaker 7: And you know, I know this isn't the secondary that's
Speaker 7: littered with you know, all pros all over the place.
Speaker 7: I know you got Dad's out there. Malik Hooker is
Speaker 7: a solid player. You know, those guys got experienced, but man,
Speaker 7: they got to put up a little bit more than
Speaker 7: what I've seen.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 7: With saying that, I gotta say this as well. You
Speaker 7: can have Darrel Reeves, you can have Patrick Peterson, you
Speaker 7: can have Jalen Ramsey, you could have Rob Woodson at
Speaker 7: one safety and.
Speaker 6: Rida's other safety.
Speaker 7: If you can't touch the quarterback on the opposing team,
Speaker 7: it don't matter.
Speaker 6: It don't matter. Quarterbacks are too.
Speaker 7: Good in this league to where if you give them
Speaker 7: that much time in the pocket, to where they're just
Speaker 7: kind of chilling like, oh hell, let me see my
Speaker 7: options out here, your secondary is gonna.
Speaker 6: Get diced apart.
Speaker 7: And we saw that last week against Russell Wilson turned
Speaker 7: the clock back on him. We saw it this week
Speaker 7: against Kaylen Williams, a guy that had struggled the first
Speaker 7: couple of games.
Speaker 6: He wasn't touched. I don't even know if he had
Speaker 6: a pressure.
Speaker 2: No, he didn't have any prushure last week, and.
Speaker 6: He tore these boys apart.
Speaker 7: So as much as I want to get on this
Speaker 7: secondary about having you know, leaving guy Scott free and
Speaker 7: just being open out there.
Speaker 6: If you have zero pass rush, like I said, it.
Speaker 7: Don't matter who you got in the secondary, you're gonna
Speaker 7: get diced up.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it goes back to what I keep
Speaker 8: repeating and keep saying. This team thought they was gonna
Speaker 8: have Michael Parsons. This team thought they was gonna have
Speaker 8: any race in some shape, form or fashion that they
Speaker 8: do not have anymore. And it was lost at the
Speaker 8: last second. So you don't have the opportunity to go
Speaker 8: out there and say, hey, let me put a band
Speaker 8: aid on this with this guy here or bringing these
Speaker 8: few guys.
Speaker 2: It didn't happen.
Speaker 8: And so I hear you what you guys say about
Speaker 8: Eba Flush's defense and everything else like that, I know
Speaker 8: that in his back pocket he thought he had Michael
Speaker 8: Parsons too, and any defensive coordinating in this league right
Speaker 8: now that has a chance to have anybody like that,
Speaker 8: a star caliber player like that has as you like
Speaker 8: to call the big joker. Okay, and no more big joker, right.
Speaker 8: But then at the same time, just like you said,
Speaker 8: a church is just not happening up front, it's also.
Speaker 2: Happening in the back end.
Speaker 8: And unfortunately, you know, like in this building, what I'm
Speaker 8: seeing is like with money comes responsibility, and that ain't
Speaker 8: always the way it should go, you know. Fortunately for me,
Speaker 8: I was able to be a part of some older teams.
Speaker 8: We had some vets, you know what I mean, And
Speaker 8: so like the veterans in the locker room, if there
Speaker 8: were true vets, were able to establish the culture, establish
Speaker 8: some identity, and just teach you how to be a pro.
Speaker 8: There's not a lot of veteran leadership in here that
Speaker 8: can honestly show these guys how to be pros. And
Speaker 8: then when it goes down, when it boils down to
Speaker 8: what I like to say, talent or technique, Like we
Speaker 8: saw some bad technique, and we saw some bad talent
Speaker 8: as well, but we're seeing some bad technique, you know
Speaker 8: what I mean. And so with all this stuff coming together, it's,
Speaker 8: you know, like you like to say you're having a
Speaker 8: perfect storm.
Speaker 2: They are having the perfect.
Speaker 8: Terrible storm, the worst storm that you could ever imagine.
Speaker 6: Right now, I have to hesitate on that work.
Speaker 5: Yes, perfect storm. I agree with y'all wholeheartedly.
Speaker 9: And unfortunately the first few weeks, because I try to
Speaker 9: be optimistic, this is the players lone so.
Speaker 5: We do get real on here.
Speaker 9: I'm always I'm always optimistic perceptions everything, glasses have full
Speaker 9: half empty. I was talking to one of my really
Speaker 9: really good friends. He's like an honorary father to me,
Speaker 9: big Cowboys fan since back in the day with the oilers,
Speaker 9: and he texted me he said, I don't see how
Speaker 9: you can go in the show and talk about them today,
Speaker 9: like literally, this is what they're doing. And when he's
Speaker 9: talking about that, I felt his energy. I felt the cohesiveness,
Speaker 9: like exuberating from this text message. And it's like I
Speaker 9: couldn't help but think about that locker room and what
Speaker 9: Ad is always saying is that you have Michael Parsons,
Speaker 9: you have that. Well, we've been a part of those
Speaker 9: good defense like you said, don't matter if you got
Speaker 9: a Derel Reeves this and that. Like if you got that,
Speaker 9: what they say, that's a that's a band aid, there's
Speaker 9: covering the real cracks behind that. But now that you
Speaker 9: don't have that eraser, because we know a raser. Whe
Speaker 9: does an eraser come from a mistake? A lot of
Speaker 9: mistakes have been shown out here and unfortunately Michael Parsons
Speaker 9: in the past, like he will be able to disguise
Speaker 9: that by getting the sack here, or at the end
Speaker 9: of the season you're top five in sacks and or
Speaker 9: you lead the league in sacks and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: It's like, oh, that defense is good. They're only one
Speaker 5: play away.
Speaker 9: Like you got your bat Man, you got your Robbin,
Speaker 9: and we thought these were a lot of role players.
Speaker 9: But now that Batman is gone and you see these
Speaker 9: role players, it's like, Oh, it wasn't what we thought
Speaker 9: it was. And like you said, it gets back to
Speaker 9: what you were saying that ibra Flus. I've been around
Speaker 9: this guy. Is he probably upset that he lost Michael? Yeah,
Speaker 9: but I know that he loves taking on challenges. I
Speaker 9: know that as much as he loves celebrating the big guys,
Speaker 9: he's one of those guys that loves celebrating the smaller
Speaker 9: name guy. Like he's like, yo, my system is an
Speaker 9: energy and effort system. But what I do see is
Speaker 9: I really want to know who it was that did
Speaker 9: the quote when knew he posted in our group chat yesterday.
Speaker 9: It was one of the captions that was a still
Speaker 9: frame from after the game. Post game, one of the
Speaker 9: DB's was like, oh, yeah, man, if we're not getting
Speaker 9: past rushing, you know, in the defense of where they
Speaker 9: tell you to go get past rush and then turn
Speaker 9: back around and go chase the ball. You know, you
Speaker 9: can't get down the field or something like. It sounded
Speaker 9: like it was kind of an excuse that was going
Speaker 9: And then when now that you're hearing a lot of
Speaker 9: these now that you're seeing people pointing but not pointing,
Speaker 9: you don't have somebody directly saying you or let me
Speaker 9: see the camera somebody saying you. But you got somebody
Speaker 9: hitting Adam Sandler saying hey on rowd the brothers.
Speaker 5: So it wasn't me, but we just.
Speaker 9: As the secondary, we gotta have better communication and we
Speaker 9: got to be in our spots. But also with that,
Speaker 9: we need Past Rush to come help us out. Oh
Speaker 9: Past Rush is sitting there saying, yeah, we just gotta
Speaker 9: do better and this and that. But we stopped here
Speaker 9: and they're like, I'm starting to see those nuances of
Speaker 9: people pointing out at each other, and it's like, unfortunately,
Speaker 9: it may be come to time to say that regardless
Speaker 9: of whatever things have been coming out the locker room,
Speaker 9: Michael was the glue. Michael was this guy this whole
Speaker 9: off season fiasco. I think it's starting to seep over
Speaker 9: there to where now you're having guys with built in
Speaker 9: excuses saying, oh, like he wouldn't hear this, Oh he
Speaker 9: wasn't there, and like now I'm starting to the energy
Speaker 9: that I am seeing from guys given comments. It's not
Speaker 9: the comments so we're about to come back and do this.
Speaker 9: This is the more of the comments. Like you know
Speaker 9: how it gets when people start losing or you feel
Speaker 9: like the team in there, let me go get mines now,
Speaker 9: and like you, I can't help the great vests that
Speaker 9: I've been around, like being in the locker room like
Speaker 9: Seattle Seahawks. You had Cam Chancellor, the Cliff Aprils, the
Speaker 9: Mike Bennetts, but the real guys that held that stuff down,
Speaker 9: the kJ Rice, the douve.
Speaker 5: Ball blue piece, like the glue pieces. These are star
Speaker 5: players within their own perspective.
Speaker 9: But these are guys that said, hey, I'm so much
Speaker 9: of a vet, I don't care. I know what to do.
Speaker 9: Hey de Montre, tighten up. Remember you can't do this.
Speaker 9: You ain't bobbying this and that like you don't you
Speaker 9: lost Michael. You got Trayvon doing what he's doing. You
Speaker 9: got Dak that is a leader but not leader. But
Speaker 9: and when I say leader but not leader, it's from
Speaker 9: what I'm seeing in the media. It's not when I
Speaker 9: was in that locker room when you had Tyrone Smith,
Speaker 9: that was the silent giant.
Speaker 5: He didn't say much.
Speaker 9: But in that locker room or in that meeting room
Speaker 9: when the O line came here, let's get this done,
Speaker 9: you had Travis Frederick. You had a young Zach Martin
Speaker 9: det got ushered into this the right way. Hell, even
Speaker 9: when Denz was here, you had theirs that taught these
Speaker 9: guys how to be a Dallas cowboy receiver, embraced that
Speaker 9: Drew Pearson mentality, teed.
Speaker 5: Up Terrence william over there on the sideline.
Speaker 9: And right now, I don't see that big vet that's saying,
Speaker 9: hey guy, this let's go get offensively.
Speaker 7: I would say they like that.
Speaker 5: That that's one of the leaders.
Speaker 9: And I take that back about for it. But it
Speaker 9: can't just be one leader. It's a it's a cohesiveness.
Speaker 9: It's usually a guy in the front end and a
Speaker 9: guy in the back end, and then your role piece.
Speaker 4: Well, since you're talking about defense, who's the leader on
Speaker 4: the defensive side, You don't that's.
Speaker 9: Where you don't and you don't have it, and so
Speaker 9: that's where it's like in the past. Typically I felt
Speaker 9: like they had the defensive presence as leaders, Like you
Speaker 9: had a guy like Terrence Crawford that was a.
Speaker 5: Silent leader that did get in their respect.
Speaker 9: But then you had a guy like the markets lawyers
Speaker 9: that were the big voice, say hey, when we need
Speaker 9: to charge somebody up, we knew how to charge him up.
Speaker 9: He knew how to charge him up in the media
Speaker 9: without giving them too much bulletin board material. Then you
Speaker 9: got the young guys that gavilanized around them with young
Speaker 9: Trayvon dig those guys of Vanderbosch, that was the vendors.
Speaker 9: You had those guys that filed in right now, now
Speaker 9: you don't.
Speaker 5: You don't have any of that.
Speaker 4: You got probably your two guys are Kenny Clark, who
Speaker 4: you just traded.
Speaker 6: He was just here and I love, I love right
Speaker 6: at the beginning, but he just got here.
Speaker 4: He just got here, so you got to establish it
Speaker 4: to a certain extent. The other one's probably Demone Clark,
Speaker 4: who's been in and out of the lineup, and he
Speaker 4: doesn't say much either. So when you piece it all
Speaker 4: together from a defensive standpoint. And I love the way
Speaker 4: you use the term eraser because you thought you were
Speaker 4: going to have that guy to finish that eraser mentality
Speaker 4: of Micah Parsons. You don't have that, But you know
Speaker 4: what you do have. You do have an eraser that
Speaker 4: you can take to the chalkboard and try and find
Speaker 4: a new game plan. Because whatever's happening now through the
Speaker 4: first three weeks of the season, whether that's eberflus or
Speaker 4: execution or scheme or whatever it ends up being across
Speaker 4: the board, it's got to be a different because both
Speaker 4: exactly and when you don't have a sack against the
Speaker 4: team like the Chicago Bears, which allowed sixty eight sacks
Speaker 4: of their rookie quarterback who was a number one overall
Speaker 4: pick last year, sixty eight the tops in the NFL,
Speaker 4: most sacked quarterback of all time, and you didn't get
Speaker 4: a sack on him. There's no other team in the
Speaker 4: NFL where you can confidently look up and down the
Speaker 4: schedule and say this Cowboys team's going to be better
Speaker 4: against them than they were against the Bears.
Speaker 2: You gotta change something.
Speaker 9: And if you're not to cut you off, but if
Speaker 9: you're a former or we're all former players, but you
Speaker 9: know how it is in that locker room. If there's
Speaker 9: blood in the water, like hey, we starting to hunt.
Speaker 9: It's crazy. The interesting fact was this man, Caleb Williams,
Speaker 9: has been sacked in every single game that he played
Speaker 9: and up until yesterday. If I don't care if I'm
Speaker 9: not Michael Parsons, I don't care who I am, but
Speaker 9: me as a defensive player, I'm taking that on the chin, like, bro,
Speaker 9: we look, that's the first game that that man went ungrazed.
Speaker 9: That's the first game that that man felt safe as
Speaker 9: a defensive player.
Speaker 5: There are okay, yeah and shot me look at it.
Speaker 8: And one of these things we always used to say,
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying, either from from from a
Speaker 8: from a higher level, either you're coaching it or you're
Speaker 8: allowing it to happen. Either you're coaching it or you're
Speaker 8: allowing it to happen. Like that, all right, So now
Speaker 8: we pray to God that then that coaching bad techniques
Speaker 8: like coach Majors Johnny Majors was my coach at University
Speaker 8: of Pittsburgh. Came back to pit. He coached my dad
Speaker 8: when my dad was in so he comes back right.
Speaker 8: I remember one to day coach Majors was going off
Speaker 8: with practice. He's like, I know when I recruited these boys,
Speaker 8: they had talent, y'all.
Speaker 2: Coaches then coached all the talent out these kids.
Speaker 8: So it's a thing whereas were laughing about it, but
Speaker 8: leave Dallas and they go somewhere else and they might
Speaker 8: ball out.
Speaker 4: Happen career right now this year Warren's Armstrong Dante Valor Junior, And.
Speaker 8: So like it was one of these things, like as
Speaker 8: I was sitting here this morning and I'm watching the
Speaker 8: game over and like it was something that jumped into
Speaker 8: my head, and like it's gonna sound crazy to y'all, but.
Speaker 2: Is it systematic losing here?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 2: Is it so entresed? Is it so entrenched in the DNA?
Speaker 8: And just like in the makeup of this organization and
Speaker 8: what's going on is that it's just like inevitable to
Speaker 8: get out of right now?
Speaker 2: Can they just not get out their own way some
Speaker 2: kind of.
Speaker 9: Way that is not as crazy as you make it sound,
Speaker 9: because we all know that don't do that. They come
Speaker 9: to the players line to get the facts when we
Speaker 9: in the locker room. What every year, right when the
Speaker 9: season's coming. You know who's in the playoffs, who's not,
Speaker 9: and we know who's a free agent. When you're a
Speaker 9: free agent, you already said, hey, man, I know they
Speaker 9: ain't got that over there. I know they ain't got
Speaker 9: that over there, But if I go over there, I'm
Speaker 9: gonna get paid, but I'm about to lose for the
Speaker 9: rest of my career. There are certain organizations right now.
Speaker 9: The Browns are trying to turn it around, but we
Speaker 9: all know that.
Speaker 5: During the off.
Speaker 9: Season it was like, hey, you go to the Browns
Speaker 9: and get paid, but you know you're losing over there.
Speaker 9: The Raiders tried to switch it around, but before Max
Speaker 9: Crosby got there, what.
Speaker 5: Were people saying about the Raiders?
Speaker 9: Now, back in your date, they was cold, But when
Speaker 9: I was it was like you lost those fights. You
Speaker 9: go through those those spells and you see them turning
Speaker 9: into those organizations where people don't want to be a
Speaker 9: part of them, Like, yeah, you might have won in
Speaker 9: the past, but right now we know they're not winning.
Speaker 5: Their facilities are horrible, or.
Speaker 9: You know what all they care about over there is
Speaker 9: the star player needs to get his touches, and it's
Speaker 9: not a team atmosphere and So when you say that,
Speaker 9: it kind of makes me think about this, and I
Speaker 9: think about it because I think about my time in
Speaker 9: Texas and them right when I was leaving, you know,
Speaker 9: you had guys like von Miller. We were starting to
Speaker 9: be on the up and up. We beat Bama and
Speaker 9: stuff like that, to where when I left, everybody was like, oh,
Speaker 9: and it might be competing for a national championship, and
Speaker 9: it was like, y'all aren't hungry no more. Y'all living
Speaker 9: off the past of what other people have done to
Speaker 9: where this program like you're just you're around and you're
Speaker 9: relevant enough to people say, ah, they're gonna do something,
Speaker 9: and then you just don't turn that corner. And it's like,
Speaker 9: what are you living off of? You're living off Johnny Manfield,
Speaker 9: You're living off de Mantrae, You're living off Vaughn like
Speaker 9: these pasts, what are we doing? Or we still living
Speaker 9: off of the great eighty eight Michael Irving, Emmis Smith.
Speaker 9: And when you think about this stuff, Oh, because they
Speaker 9: had the top offense. Oh because you had the guy
Speaker 9: that was the top pass rusher. Now it's like we're
Speaker 9: only one play away, and it's like, nah, you gotta
Speaker 9: get hungry. You gotta that eraser was tooking and the
Speaker 9: found Unfortunately, the foundation is being shown right now and
Speaker 9: it is shaky. You got one big domino right here
Speaker 9: and the rest of them are falling. So at teeter tides.
Speaker 9: The first two weeks, Dak Prescott best quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 9: This last week, Dak Prescott, he ain't there. So when
Speaker 9: your strong domino shows that he's human, who else is
Speaker 9: there to pick it up? When Michael Parson is not there,
Speaker 9: we don't have nobody else on defense to pick it up.
Speaker 9: You Romadouzier got a Player of the week by Good
Speaker 9: Morning Football.
Speaker 5: And I'm looking at the highlight.
Speaker 9: I said, man, I didn't realize how boys was out
Speaker 9: there playing playing connected.
Speaker 5: This one thing.
Speaker 7: If you ain't got it, you know, it's one thing.
Speaker 7: If hey, you know what, this team just ain't talented enough.
Speaker 7: You got the talent. You're hurting yourself, man.
Speaker 6: And that's the that's the more mind blowing and the.
Speaker 7: More frustrating part about all of this defense, because offensively
Speaker 7: they gonna get right. I think I mean that he's
Speaker 7: too good of a quarterback. I mean they got wet
Speaker 7: on that side.
Speaker 9: You'll be offensive line with the line played well, they
Speaker 9: opened up the holes.
Speaker 7: But defensively, you hurting yourself blowing coverages like it ain't
Speaker 7: like you're just getting routed. Except for that one crazy
Speaker 7: technique that that digs did we try to jam and
Speaker 7: turning his own. Other than that, you're hurting yourself with
Speaker 7: these blown coverages, and that's that's gotta be the frustrating
Speaker 7: part with eba flus in this defense.
Speaker 4: Can we talk about that on the other side of
Speaker 4: the break, because Hey, I've got three defensive guys here,
Speaker 4: so we're going to dive into the defense a little
Speaker 4: bit extra Whenever we go into that matchup against the Bears,
Speaker 4: we'll talk about the offense and the third segment. But
Speaker 4: when we come back here on the players lounge, what
Speaker 4: is going on with the scheme and the thought process?
Speaker 4: Is this just a coordinator trying to learn his guys
Speaker 4: too late in the process. Let's talk about that when
Speaker 4: we come back right after this. Hey there, Cowboys Nation,

Speaker 6: How dare you?
Speaker 4: I'm filling in and you're comparing me to that defense.
Speaker 9: It's all we're all under one umbrella right now. We're
Speaker 9: trying to get them together.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you say? You gotta challenge this? True?
Speaker 9: Apparently with the type of team that we got, you
Speaker 9: gotta challenge them through the media, So just be careful
Speaker 9: watching because you might get something.
Speaker 5: For it's a little joking joke. It's the players.
Speaker 9: But I'm gonna tell you like this, like I said
Speaker 9: last year, don't send me no d I am a player.
Speaker 5: First, Barry is a player first. Eight is a player first.
Speaker 5: And whoever sits in that check.
Speaker 4: We're emmy winners, all right. Like you said, going into
Speaker 4: the break, you're talking about the the the defensive side
Speaker 4: of the ball and the scheme that gets it there.
Speaker 4: You were talking about coverages and and the way that
Speaker 4: they were playing off the ball in certain situations where
Speaker 4: they're playing on the ball in certain situations. When you
Speaker 4: look back at the film, was it as bad going
Speaker 4: back through it today as it was watching it live
Speaker 4: when you were in the studio.
Speaker 7: I would say it was just because the same mistakes
Speaker 7: are reoccurring. And when you go through an ebra flu system,
Speaker 7: it's not difficult.
Speaker 6: Like that's the thing that simple. It's very simple.
Speaker 7: You know, it's a three bout one check, bout two
Speaker 7: check in the secondary wise, I don't know what y'all go,
Speaker 7: but it's very wise.
Speaker 8: Like taking me through a real quick So ebra Flu's defense.
Speaker 8: You're going to a game plan with your defense. How
Speaker 8: many coverages y'all gonna have them?
Speaker 7: We got a man maybe two or three different fire zones,
Speaker 7: which means a blitz, but the zone behind it, and
Speaker 7: then you got your basic cover two.
Speaker 6: Cover four, cover three.
Speaker 7: And it's really simple because it's like, all right, they
Speaker 7: come out in three bout one, All right, this is
Speaker 7: what we're checking to. This safety's dropping down versus the
Speaker 7: you know, on the open side, Roy, Lou.
Speaker 6: That's the communication.
Speaker 7: Roy, I'm coming down on the right side, Lou, I'm
Speaker 7: coming down on the left side.
Speaker 5: It's really simple.
Speaker 7: Two by two you're going away from the nickel, so
Speaker 7: the nickels on this side, Hey, I'm coming down, Roy.
Speaker 6: And when it's two by if you down, you gotta
Speaker 6: carry the seams like. It's super simple.
Speaker 7: It's not like a Rob Ryan or Rex Ryan defense
Speaker 7: where they come out in three boy one.
Speaker 5: You're checking X y Z.
Speaker 6: They come out you're checking this, that and the third.
Speaker 7: It's extremely simple, and it ain't make it that way
Speaker 7: so your defense can play fast, because that's all the
Speaker 7: Marinelli flus. They want you to play fast. They want
Speaker 7: you to play like your hair is on fire, and
Speaker 7: it want you to just go. And the less thinking,
Speaker 7: the more reacting, that's what they want. So when I
Speaker 7: see this, these defenses, and granted the pass rush is
Speaker 7: non existent, but when I see this and he saved
Speaker 7: these they bad eyes. You see it all over the place.
Speaker 7: The division is just wrong. You're not reading the keys question.
Speaker 5: But I know it.
Speaker 9: I know the pass rush is not what it used
Speaker 9: to be. But let's not say non existence. But no, no, no, no,
Speaker 9: he didn't know. He did not get touched. He did
Speaker 9: not he did not know. No, No, I'm gonna sit
Speaker 9: there and say that. I will tell you there is
Speaker 9: no consistent past rup none. But the few times that
Speaker 9: there are some wins, it's like you, like you said
Speaker 9: the holes in the defense, It's like it's both of
Speaker 9: the guys to where I feel like collectively they're falling
Speaker 9: down as a whole. Like how many times have I
Speaker 9: told you I like what I seen from the young pup,
Speaker 9: I like what I seen from Houston, Like he had
Speaker 9: a mean chop, like coming around the edge. But on
Speaker 9: the same play, I believe that was the play that
Speaker 9: Malik Neighbors got went over on digs and it was
Speaker 9: bombs over bag that so the few pass rushers that
Speaker 9: are winning is getting the game by misplaced and miscommunity.
Speaker 4: Think about that touchdown to DJ Moore in the red zone.
Speaker 4: Noody Williams was bouncing out of a collapsed pocket, but
Speaker 4: because he was able to extend the play and he
Speaker 4: had some level of exit there, that's when Dj Moore
Speaker 4: snuck was and that egg cooker and the bad eyes
Speaker 4: got him.
Speaker 9: And that's why I think for me, I think it's
Speaker 9: more so technique. This is this is just sloppy technique,
Speaker 9: Like what did they say and scramble Drew is when
Speaker 9: we do pursuit d get your eyes off the quarterback,
Speaker 9: find a receiver and grab and put his hands on him.
Speaker 9: Once you scramble out the pocket, you can put your
Speaker 9: hands on him and jack him up. When he scrambled
Speaker 9: out the pocket, everybody's looking and floating. But if you're
Speaker 9: gonna float, go attack, Go be the spy guy and
Speaker 9: really go get him. But don't have those bad eyes.
Speaker 9: And then as far as the pass rush, like you,
Speaker 9: there is zero. It is none on the edge. But
Speaker 9: you've been getting constant penetration up the middle of the
Speaker 9: nose weekend and week out. So it's like this is
Speaker 9: this is really just technique, and we all know that once.
Speaker 9: It's like, hey man, I didn't hit this guy with
Speaker 9: my best move and you not doing your job right now,
Speaker 9: it's like, all right, I'm trying to be the hero
Speaker 9: and right now what I see personally, and y'all can
Speaker 9: tell me if you're wrong, but I see too many
Speaker 9: heroes right now. I see too many people saying, hey,
Speaker 9: I'm pass rushing and I'm a win or whatever.
Speaker 5: Those other three need to do what they doing.
Speaker 9: I see too many people in the secondary like, oh,
Speaker 9: I'm trying to go for the big hit, I'm trying
Speaker 9: to do this and do that, and you getting put
Speaker 9: out of play on top of the sloppy technique.
Speaker 5: It sucks over here.
Speaker 9: And I think with ebra flues, like you said, when
Speaker 9: you don't have that eraser in there, like right now,
Speaker 9: you're trying to galvanize the guys. You're trying to show
Speaker 9: them that you're schematically is going to work. But they're
Speaker 9: in such dire needs where they saying this ain't working,
Speaker 9: like it is so simple. If it was a complex system,
Speaker 9: I could say, hey, you took your biggest eraser out here,
Speaker 9: and now guys are doing this other stuff. But we
Speaker 9: all know when you're in ebraflus. Once it's checked, its
Speaker 9: stay checked, Go do this and play.
Speaker 6: How is is that to change, Anthony?
Speaker 4: When you look at bad technique and what's tuck specific
Speaker 4: about the secondary when it's bad technique on the backside,
Speaker 4: how quick can you make a switch there? So is
Speaker 4: that something that takes time?
Speaker 8: No, to a man, and Barry can tell you and
Speaker 8: Tray can tell you this too as well. Like the
Speaker 8: one thing about being a professional athlete is that we
Speaker 8: could be hyper focused.
Speaker 2: And so it doesn't take two to three weeks.
Speaker 8: Like you can honestly watch some video of yourself, it
Speaker 8: gets so like just perturbed about what you're doing and
Speaker 8: what you're seeing.
Speaker 2: It just be like, no, I got to change this
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 8: You know now collectively as a team, it takes a
Speaker 8: little bit longer because like once again, we don't know
Speaker 8: why this person's eyes are bad, or what he's not
Speaker 8: seeing or what he's not hearing or whatever the case
Speaker 8: may be. But no, like it can happen that fast,
Speaker 8: Like if you want to make a change, you can
Speaker 8: decide to make a change, but you know the whole
Speaker 8: thing about it is just like what we said, it's
Speaker 8: not just one piece. It's so many different pieces here
Speaker 8: there up front, the middle.
Speaker 5: And the back.
Speaker 8: So you know it's going to take some time and
Speaker 8: to hear how simple this defense is. You know, Like
Speaker 8: I had Greg Williams as a decoordinator and then my
Speaker 8: first year in the league, I ran We ran the
Speaker 8: forty six, which is the hardest thing you could ever magine, Okay,
Speaker 8: and so like and so to have the communication and
Speaker 8: to have all this stuff and to make everything flow together, well,
Speaker 8: it can be done. You know, like if that if
Speaker 8: that defense can be successful, any defense can be especially
Speaker 8: with one with one or two checks at the end
Speaker 8: of it. So, I mean it goes back to like
Speaker 8: what we talked about before. You gotta make it so simple,
Speaker 8: and I don't know how we make it any easier
Speaker 8: than what it actually sounds like it is.
Speaker 2: Besides guys just making up their mind.
Speaker 5: When you want on, man, you can't. That's exactly what
Speaker 5: he's gonna do.
Speaker 9: Is that all these coordinators that run this type of
Speaker 9: style of defense, when they get to the level of pistivity,
Speaker 9: they go in there and what do they say, Man,
Speaker 9: this is the most simplest defense that you have right now,
Speaker 9: run this Like, what else can I do?
Speaker 5: I can't do anything for y'all?
Speaker 2: How are you grading out?
Speaker 5: And like so, I've always I've checked part of your offenses.
Speaker 8: That you had to grade out at least a certain
Speaker 8: number to even keep your starting position for the next week,
Speaker 8: You know what I mean? And so what I'm seeing
Speaker 8: on video nobody's grading out. Yeah, No, one's like literally
Speaker 8: played in that in that space to say, oh, I
Speaker 8: deserve to be back out here next week.
Speaker 2: It hasn't happened.
Speaker 7: Is that more of a question of what the depth
Speaker 7: they have behind them to where cats are out here
Speaker 7: getting burnt left and right? You got mental mistakes in
Speaker 7: the secondary. You got guys along that defive line not
Speaker 7: being able to win on one on ones, not being
Speaker 7: able to get to the quarterbacks. You got linebackers you know,
Speaker 7: missing tackles, not getting up depth in the in the zones,
Speaker 7: and that's reoccurring. Does that go to show you that
Speaker 7: the depth behind them is that that bad or the
Speaker 7: coach is just like, man, we go, we don't trust
Speaker 7: those guys.
Speaker 4: To be all the whole. Yeah, you talked about the
Speaker 4: talent in that first segment. Right, you said, this team
Speaker 4: has talent, that's plain and simple. You do at the top,
Speaker 4: you do from one to ten, one to eleven. You
Speaker 4: feel pretty good about stacking your one and eleven going
Speaker 4: anywhere else in the league. But from twelve to fifty
Speaker 4: three is where you've got a little bit of shake.
Speaker 4: So and it's a steep drop drop.
Speaker 8: I think that, Like we talked about this before, and
Speaker 8: I don't know how the league. Well I do understand
Speaker 8: how the league got to this, because money speaks loud,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean? What there was a point
Speaker 8: in time where people actually use the preseason to get
Speaker 8: some cohesion with the players. Now preseason here has turned
Speaker 8: into like the celebrity hangout thing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I'm not playing today, so let me go over here.
Speaker 8: Like I'm not a DeVante Adams type dude, but let
Speaker 8: me go here rough shoulders with him, you know what
Speaker 8: I'm saying. Like, because it and the whole thing that
Speaker 8: is transpired here has gone away from like keeping what's
Speaker 8: first supposed to be first, and that's football competitiveness.
Speaker 5: Say it, that's the game is getting soft. I said,
Speaker 5: it's too much for.
Speaker 8: You know, bumping going Hey, I'm sitting over here and
Speaker 8: I'm watching stuff, and everybody that I see that the
Speaker 8: cameras in front of is a young dude, is a
Speaker 8: young player.
Speaker 9: I'm not even gonna say it's just because the young
Speaker 9: dudes that this and that it just goes to heart
Speaker 9: and that competitive nature, like just the coming over it
Speaker 9: like hey, I understand safety and all this type of stuff,
Speaker 9: but the mentality, like the aggressiveness that I fell in
Speaker 9: love with football watching guys like Jesse Armstead Michael straight Hand,
Speaker 9: like were talking about two different caliber players, one that
Speaker 9: talk trash, one that don't.
Speaker 8: You're worried about with sex and sex satan about them.
Speaker 5: They might not be. They might not be.
Speaker 9: But even if I can't even say that, because you
Speaker 9: got guys like Chad Johnson, trail Owens like they they
Speaker 9: were on the social media, they were active in that,
Speaker 9: but they were still competitors like that competitor like, but
Speaker 9: they still were competitives. Like it was like what they say,
Speaker 9: this is my craft. What Ocho said came, no corner
Speaker 9: hold me. I got the sweetest feet out here. They
Speaker 9: were so confident in their skills and they worked that
Speaker 9: hard in it to where it was like bam.
Speaker 5: When it came to the off season.
Speaker 9: You've seen Santana moss O, Cho Terrell and young Antonio Brown.
Speaker 5: You've seen them out there competing.
Speaker 9: And now it's too much of when you get out there,
Speaker 9: Oh I got beat. Ah, man this happened, or man,
Speaker 9: we'll get a fix. Like it's too much of the
Speaker 9: polished answer. And you don't see people putting that onus
Speaker 9: on they self where they say I gotta do this,
Speaker 9: because at the end of the day, this is a
Speaker 9: warrior's sport, This is a warrior's mentality. I come over
Speaker 9: here and I dominate you. Too many times we see
Speaker 9: people getting dominated and what coach you used to say
Speaker 9: back in the day, if you end up on the ground,
Speaker 9: you better pop back up. Well, now, when I turn
Speaker 9: on that Cowboys film, I see people getting dominated and.
Speaker 5: It's the I'm gonna roll over real quick.
Speaker 9: Let me fix my jersey, and it's like, nah, I
Speaker 9: need to get up and boath somebody and go hit somebody.
Speaker 9: What they say on Friday, Hey, I know y'all ain't
Speaker 9: gonna arrest nobody, but just whoop a little A double
Speaker 9: snakes on the way down to the police station and
Speaker 9: that's where we're starting to get to. At this point,
Speaker 9: you were talking about ten wins. Shoot, I'll be over there.
Speaker 9: Can you please just punch somebody? Can you please name
Speaker 9: on my little.
Speaker 4: Roan?
Speaker 9: I mean, shoot, you might as well send this man
Speaker 9: an Instagram like and a TikTok moji. The way that
Speaker 9: we're being out here, and that's what is going to
Speaker 9: We don't have that better. That's why I love watching
Speaker 9: y'all play. That's why when I came into the league,
Speaker 9: people was like, man, you were you was born in
Speaker 9: the wrong generation, because I've seen the change of people
Speaker 9: still competing, like justin Tuck matthis Ke Jason Pierre, Paul
Speaker 9: Sean Rodgers coming into a room like that. Then in
Speaker 9: the back end you have Aaron Ross, Corey Western and
Speaker 9: Trail roads like these.
Speaker 6: Are all faller like here.
Speaker 5: No, no, this was on the end of that. This
Speaker 5: is on the end of their career.
Speaker 6: They like, these dudes are trying.
Speaker 5: They don't have the talent.
Speaker 8: You see his interview A there was it was it
Speaker 8: was orange just a little bit ago. I didn't so
Speaker 8: he like, so he's talking about I've been seven different
Speaker 8: places and ain't never seen nothing like this.
Speaker 2: These boys are spoiled.
Speaker 8: That's the first thing he said talking to the media,
Speaker 8: and he asked.
Speaker 6: Them, you're talking about clowning.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's like, he's like, all this that they
Speaker 5: got you are you do get spoiled.
Speaker 9: I can say it from being here to leave and
Speaker 9: going to the Raiders before they had the new facility
Speaker 9: to go into Canada and planning in the CFL where
Speaker 9: you barely you have to pay for your own.
Speaker 5: You know, I don't know. I've never because I can't.
Speaker 6: I'm sitting here. I'm like, it's not like.
Speaker 7: I don't see these guys hustling, and he's I don't
Speaker 7: see hustle. Like sometimes you just ain't adult, Like sometimes
Speaker 7: the talent is just that big of a gap. It
Speaker 7: ain't like these dudes are just going out there like, man,
Speaker 7: you know what, I'm gonna get paid this week? Who
Speaker 7: on that defense is just getting getting unbelievably paid, you
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying, Like, Okay, but but that's the
Speaker 7: old trying to grind to get to that point. But
Speaker 7: the mentality that they're trying to But you know as
Speaker 7: well as I do, none of them was showing you
Speaker 7: the work that the day that it takes to get
Speaker 7: to that point.
Speaker 6: But who shown We can't say that.
Speaker 7: Who can't say that because we we're not there, we're
Speaker 7: not we're not out there with them each and every
Speaker 7: week or on the field with them.
Speaker 5: We can't say that, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna I'm gonna say all right, I'm not gonna
Speaker 9: say that they're not trying. But I'm gonna say is
Speaker 9: I don't see the frustration. I don't see the certain
Speaker 9: will factor where it's like if I got beat, I
Speaker 9: come over here and say that, like, Okay, George picking
Speaker 9: messed up. That pick was solely on him. But I've
Speaker 9: seen the passion, don't You don't got to throw your helmet,
Speaker 9: breaking his helmets. But I'm like, but I know it
Speaker 9: doesn't make it. But I'm saying here, every time that
Speaker 9: we've seen George have these tender tantrums, you say it's
Speaker 9: a tentra tantrum, but it shows me somebody that's passionate
Speaker 9: and been trying to work because every negative stereotype he
Speaker 9: has had, he's worked hard to try to do that.
Speaker 9: They said he wasn't blocking like he was supposed to
Speaker 9: on what he became famous off of what he do.
Speaker 9: He going there and block he came in here. They
Speaker 9: said he wouldn't be a good No. Two and his
Speaker 9: ego would take into place. No, he did everything that
Speaker 9: he was opposed to. Now you're seeing the frustrated player
Speaker 9: that's been working his butt off to do that thing.
Speaker 4: And he might have to be the number one now
Speaker 4: as ces on to it. Let's take a break. When
Speaker 4: we come back, we'll flip to the offensive side to

Speaker 5: I tell.
Speaker 9: You that, you're gonna use that to go get a
Speaker 9: generational talent.
Speaker 5: Bet you better go be looking for a new QB.
Speaker 5: I get hired for one thing.
Speaker 9: They paid me to do it extremely Well, Well, guess
Speaker 9: what I'm gonna make sure you get your money's Worth.
Speaker 5: You ain't gonna get another Michael Parsons.
Speaker 9: You need a new Dak Prescott messing with me or
Speaker 9: offensive lineman, whoever I'm going against, I'm making it a
Speaker 9: point to drop them.
Speaker 2: Green Bay, Who's like they did? You know they're gonna
Speaker 2: come in here on one.
Speaker 6: There's no sneaking up on hold up lash Jacobs.
Speaker 5: He didn't get a he didn't get a tub last week.
Speaker 5: They kept him out of that.
Speaker 9: But everybody was talking craazy to him, said, I'm making
Speaker 9: it a point to break your streak.
Speaker 5: He about to reactive back the streak. Knew he.
Speaker 9: I wish he was here right now because you know
Speaker 9: he'd be talking about my one of my favorite special
Speaker 9: team coaches all the time, Richard Bassasi over there.
Speaker 5: He coming back over there? You think BASASCEI ain't coming back.
Speaker 9: When we talk about guys in that last segment of
Speaker 9: those that had that killer mentality, those guys that go
Speaker 9: out there were talking about taste their own blood. I
Speaker 9: love this. That is what you have in a coach
Speaker 9: in rich Basachi like that man is a leader of
Speaker 9: men like It's a reason why it's a special Not
Speaker 9: too many special team head coaches get nominated to go
Speaker 9: even interview for a head coaching job and should have
Speaker 9: got it. So you think that he ain't what they say.
Speaker 9: You see your old ex girlfriend this and that, I
Speaker 9: love my new situation and this and that. But hold on,
Speaker 9: let me put on this clone and make sure I
Speaker 9: look real good. You know what you lost. You lost
Speaker 9: two cowboys, like two key pieces at one point in time.
Speaker 9: Everybody knows in this building that they didn't want to
Speaker 9: lose Rich Bassachi. Then on top of that there's hit
Speaker 9: or miss. But as far as talent wise, forget everything else.
Speaker 9: But you don't lose talent like that in Michael Parsons,
Speaker 9: you got two of them going for you.
Speaker 5: Over there. It's about to be a good week rivalry.
Speaker 9: There's with the Catchers the last Hey, that's three of
Speaker 9: them right there, Holy trinity right there.

Speaker 9: Within his own rights, They're going to be so many
Speaker 9: different headlines that's gonna be popping up this week.
Speaker 4: They are one of two teams in the NFL through
Speaker 4: three games that have not allowed two hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: total yards in any.
Speaker 2: Of their three games.
Speaker 4: They're one of two teams. The other team it's the
Speaker 4: team they lost to this week in the Cleveland Brown defense.
Speaker 4: They got some defense coming And it's not just Michah
Speaker 4: Parsons for Sean Gary had yeah RG last week.
Speaker 5: I mean the secondary.
Speaker 4: It's really good, Anthony. When when you look at the
Speaker 4: offense and you look at the way that they've prepared
Speaker 4: and the way that they played last week compared to
Speaker 4: this week, what's your confidence level going up against that defense?
Speaker 8: The confidence there for the Cowboys? Boys, Hey, it's it's
Speaker 8: going to be a struggle, okay. I mean, and we
Speaker 8: saw some some minor cracks. You know, Dak has been
Speaker 8: playing exceptionally well.
Speaker 6: How do you feel like you played yesterday?
Speaker 8: I feel like he had the press towards the end,
Speaker 8: and I feel like that's what we were seeing a
Speaker 8: little bit of, you know. And then of course when
Speaker 8: you got CD go down, you lose, You lose a
Speaker 8: major target like that on offense, and it basically almost
Speaker 8: kind of push you almost one dimension on so many
Speaker 8: kind of ways. But it's going it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 8: It's definitely gonna be tough. I haven't seen anything any
Speaker 8: consistency to say that, you know, like, well, I actually
Speaker 8: have seen more consistency over the past few years, but
Speaker 8: I haven't seen anything to say, Okay, the run game
Speaker 8: is going to definitely do this this week. We know
Speaker 8: without we know without CD we're going to be missing something.
Speaker 9: But we do it as much as real hard.
Speaker 4: They didn't go away from it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not they got away from I'm not hating
Speaker 8: on the run game at all. He's actually playing a
Speaker 8: great playing really good right now. But if you're first
Speaker 8: of allf you're down, you ain't gonna keep running the
Speaker 8: ball all right. And we haven't shown like the balance
Speaker 8: has been there, but it hasn't been to the place
Speaker 8: where like we could just sit up here and say, Okay,
Speaker 8: we know they're gonna be able to run the ball
Speaker 8: down they throw, we know they're gonna run right a
Speaker 8: MIC or anything else like that. Green Bay's defense, even
Speaker 8: though with it being as young as it is, them
Speaker 8: young boys in the secondary, is making plays.
Speaker 5: They are.
Speaker 8: When you ask me about how confident I am with it,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna just keep it one hundred. Like, I'm not
Speaker 8: confident in the cowboys on either side of the ball
Speaker 8: right now. The only thing I'm confident in is the kicker.
Speaker 5: He's a good one.
Speaker 4: Even Dak said that though he said, we can't rely
Speaker 4: on Brandon get points when we have an opportunity.
Speaker 9: You relying on field goals win, win you the game.
Speaker 9: It's like you you're desperate right now. But as as
Speaker 9: much as I say that I'm gonna I'm gonna be
Speaker 9: Devil's advocate, I'm more so confident in the offense than
Speaker 9: I Obviously the defense is the weak point. But what
Speaker 9: makes me so confident in the offense, Besides the last game,
Speaker 9: Dak showed me, which I've always said, he was a
Speaker 9: top ten quarterback in this league. Now, do you have
Speaker 9: higher expectations for him, yes, but he showed me what
Speaker 9: Barry has been banging on the drums since the season
Speaker 9: is start those first two games, he put the team
Speaker 9: on his back.
Speaker 5: He had that cape.
Speaker 9: And with that being said, I look at this Cowboys team,
Speaker 9: at least the offense coming in this week kind of
Speaker 9: like I was looking at the Bears, like we went
Speaker 9: from having all this success and now we lost to
Speaker 9: the We lost to the Bears. And then Dak, I
Speaker 9: know him and the competitive leader that he is, he's
Speaker 9: gonna sit there, He's gonna bring up all those first
Speaker 9: that happened this week.
Speaker 5: We don't have CD. Now.
Speaker 9: Guess what, George, we need you to show them that
Speaker 9: you are the number one, that that really is a
Speaker 9: one eight and a one B type guy.
Speaker 5: Hey, Ferguson, keep being that guy. Jafonte.
Speaker 9: You have revived your career and showed people that, hey,
Speaker 9: you're looking at rookie year four and the old line
Speaker 9: who we thought, which I was trying to do it earlier,
Speaker 9: but I'm gonna do it now.
Speaker 5: I am giving y'all y'all flowers is early.
Speaker 9: Do not do that, but hurry up and get this
Speaker 9: thing going to where I think these guys are gonna
Speaker 9: make this play. The offense is gonna be there. I
Speaker 9: think they're gonna bounce back like once you get punched
Speaker 9: in the mouth. It's how you respond, I think, and
Speaker 9: Dak has always responded. So the offense is the it's
Speaker 9: the defense. I'm really worried about.
Speaker 4: Big game coming up on Sunday, but lots the breakdown.
