We had our podcast this morning on 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.560 Talking Cowboys. We kind of went through it and ranted 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.319 a little bit about the thirty one fourteen loss the 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.040 Cowboys had at the hands of the Chicago Bears. Now 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.039 I get to talk to the guys that really know 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.840 what's going on, and I'm saying that's directly looking at 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.080 Isaiah stand back from so. 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.520 It's stand back. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:26.840 I love Isaiah. 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:27.520 Standback. 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:32.080 We've got Anthony dor set Demandray Moore, Barry Church PC 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.160 over here, Chris Beam in the back of Kyle Yeomans. 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.839 All right, Berry, YopE, you talked about it a little 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:39.080 bit on post game last night. 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:40.000 Yeah, yeah, for sure. 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:41.040 It was rough. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.520 It was rough, and you know, we dissected it a 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.520 little bit, you know, in the post game, you know, 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.120 our thoughts offensively, defensively, coaching, We we went through the whole 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:54.000 gamdid but after, you know, sitting down taking another look 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.240 at the tape and seeing what's going on defensively, I'm 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.680 even more worried about this team than I was after 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:02.040 the game. 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.560 I mean, I'm not gonna lie to you, but when looking. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:08.840 At it, I just I just don't understand the lapses 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:09.280 in coverage. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:10.840 So I'm gonna start there first. I'm start in the 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:12.000 secondary first, and. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:16.160 I just don't understand the lapses in coverage like I 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.360 can under you know, one or two trick plays here 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.480 and there, you might have a guy open, but consistently, 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.400 you know, having wide receivers open where there's a ten 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.360 yard gap between them and the nearest defender. 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.520 Is just it's remarkable. 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.679 And you know, I know this isn't the secondary that's 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.799 littered with you know, all pros all over the place. 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:36.680 I know you got Dad's out there. Malik Hooker is 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.639 a solid player. You know, those guys got experienced, but man, 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.320 they got to put up a little bit more than 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:43.000 what I've seen. 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:44.280 Now. 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:49.160 With saying that, I gotta say this as well. You 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:54.880 can have Darrel Reeves, you can have Patrick Peterson, you 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.480 can have Jalen Ramsey, you could have Rob Woodson at 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:58.160 one safety and. 0:02:58.360 --> 0:02:59.440 Rida's other safety. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.600 If you can't touch the quarterback on the opposing team, 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:06.200 it don't matter. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.360 It don't matter. Quarterbacks are too. 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.840 Good in this league to where if you give them 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.600 that much time in the pocket, to where they're just 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.280 kind of chilling like, oh hell, let me see my 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.880 options out here, your secondary is gonna. 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:18.560 Get diced apart. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.120 And we saw that last week against Russell Wilson turned 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.880 the clock back on him. We saw it this week 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.320 against Kaylen Williams, a guy that had struggled the first 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:29.160 couple of games. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.880 He wasn't touched. I don't even know if he had 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:32.440 a pressure. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.600 No, he didn't have any prushure last week, and. 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.200 He tore these boys apart. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.360 So as much as I want to get on this 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.360 secondary about having you know, leaving guy Scott free and 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:42.720 just being open out there. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.960 If you have zero pass rush, like I said, it. 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.200 Don't matter who you got in the secondary, you're gonna 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:48.840 get diced up. 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:49.360 Yeah. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.520 Yeah, I mean it goes back to what I keep 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.520 repeating and keep saying. This team thought they was gonna 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.400 have Michael Parsons. This team thought they was gonna have 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.720 any race in some shape, form or fashion that they 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.560 do not have anymore. And it was lost at the 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.440 last second. So you don't have the opportunity to go 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:10.960 out there and say, hey, let me put a band 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.720 aid on this with this guy here or bringing these 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:14.240 few guys. 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:15.520 It didn't happen. 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.320 And so I hear you what you guys say about 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.279 Eba Flush's defense and everything else like that, I know 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.679 that in his back pocket he thought he had Michael 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.560 Parsons too, and any defensive coordinating in this league right 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.359 now that has a chance to have anybody like that, 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.960 a star caliber player like that has as you like 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:36.960 to call the big joker. Okay, and no more big joker, right. 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:38.719 But then at the same time, just like you said, 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.000 a church is just not happening up front, it's also. 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:43.680 Happening in the back end. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.720 And unfortunately, you know, like in this building, what I'm 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:52.400 seeing is like with money comes responsibility, and that ain't 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.400 always the way it should go, you know. Fortunately for me, 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.080 I was able to be a part of some older teams. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.599 We had some vets, you know what I mean, And 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.200 so like the veterans in the locker room, if there 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.239 were true vets, were able to establish the culture, establish 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.160 some identity, and just teach you how to be a pro. 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:12.080 There's not a lot of veteran leadership in here that 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.680 can honestly show these guys how to be pros. And 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.400 then when it goes down, when it boils down to 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.760 what I like to say, talent or technique, Like we 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.320 saw some bad technique, and we saw some bad talent 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.960 as well, but we're seeing some bad technique, you know 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:29.080 what I mean. And so with all this stuff coming together, it's, 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.760 you know, like you like to say you're having a 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:31.440 perfect storm. 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.440 They are having the perfect. 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.919 Terrible storm, the worst storm that you could ever imagine. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.640 Right now, I have to hesitate on that work. 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:46.400 Yes, perfect storm. I agree with y'all wholeheartedly. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.640 And unfortunately the first few weeks, because I try to 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.440 be optimistic, this is the players lone so. 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.040 We do get real on here. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.320 I'm always I'm always optimistic perceptions everything, glasses have full 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.359 half empty. I was talking to one of my really 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.440 really good friends. He's like an honorary father to me, 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.200 big Cowboys fan since back in the day with the oilers, 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:08.919 and he texted me he said, I don't see how 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.479 you can go in the show and talk about them today, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.680 like literally, this is what they're doing. And when he's 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.479 talking about that, I felt his energy. I felt the cohesiveness, 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.880 like exuberating from this text message. And it's like I 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:23.640 couldn't help but think about that locker room and what 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.080 Ad is always saying is that you have Michael Parsons, 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.240 you have that. Well, we've been a part of those 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:29.920 good defense like you said, don't matter if you got 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.160 a Derel Reeves this and that. Like if you got that, 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.320 what they say, that's a that's a band aid, there's 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.080 covering the real cracks behind that. But now that you 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.880 don't have that eraser, because we know a raser. Whe 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.640 does an eraser come from a mistake? A lot of 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.360 mistakes have been shown out here and unfortunately Michael Parsons 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.400 in the past, like he will be able to disguise 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.800 that by getting the sack here, or at the end 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.040 of the season you're top five in sacks and or 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.920 you lead the league in sacks and stuff like that. 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.440 It's like, oh, that defense is good. They're only one 0:06:58.440 --> 0:06:59.040 play away. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.120 Like you got your bat Man, you got your Robbin, 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.359 and we thought these were a lot of role players. 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.640 But now that Batman is gone and you see these 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.120 role players, it's like, Oh, it wasn't what we thought 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:10.920 it was. And like you said, it gets back to 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.280 what you were saying that ibra Flus. I've been around 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.480 this guy. Is he probably upset that he lost Michael? Yeah, 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.680 but I know that he loves taking on challenges. I 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.360 know that as much as he loves celebrating the big guys, 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.960 he's one of those guys that loves celebrating the smaller 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.640 name guy. Like he's like, yo, my system is an 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.960 energy and effort system. But what I do see is 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.040 I really want to know who it was that did 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.480 the quote when knew he posted in our group chat yesterday. 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.320 It was one of the captions that was a still 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.920 frame from after the game. Post game, one of the 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.520 DB's was like, oh, yeah, man, if we're not getting 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.640 past rushing, you know, in the defense of where they 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.680 tell you to go get past rush and then turn 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.480 back around and go chase the ball. You know, you 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.400 can't get down the field or something like. It sounded 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.640 like it was kind of an excuse that was going 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.480 And then when now that you're hearing a lot of 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.920 these now that you're seeing people pointing but not pointing, 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.840 you don't have somebody directly saying you or let me 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.800 see the camera somebody saying you. But you got somebody 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.239 hitting Adam Sandler saying hey on rowd the brothers. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.160 So it wasn't me, but we just. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:19.240 As the secondary, we gotta have better communication and we 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.720 got to be in our spots. But also with that, 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.040 we need Past Rush to come help us out. Oh 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.080 Past Rush is sitting there saying, yeah, we just gotta 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.040 do better and this and that. But we stopped here 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.720 and they're like, I'm starting to see those nuances of 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.960 people pointing out at each other, and it's like, unfortunately, 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.800 it may be come to time to say that regardless 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.520 of whatever things have been coming out the locker room, 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.000 Michael was the glue. Michael was this guy this whole 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.320 off season fiasco. I think it's starting to seep over 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.080 there to where now you're having guys with built in 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.880 excuses saying, oh, like he wouldn't hear this, Oh he 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.720 wasn't there, and like now I'm starting to the energy 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.040 that I am seeing from guys given comments. It's not 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.199 the comments so we're about to come back and do this. 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.800 This is the more of the comments. Like you know 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.000 how it gets when people start losing or you feel 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.280 like the team in there, let me go get mines now, 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.880 and like you, I can't help the great vests that 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.000 I've been around, like being in the locker room like 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.760 Seattle Seahawks. You had Cam Chancellor, the Cliff Aprils, the 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.880 Mike Bennetts, but the real guys that held that stuff down, 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.800 the kJ Rice, the douve. 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.040 Ball blue piece, like the glue pieces. These are star 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:26.679 players within their own perspective. 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.960 But these are guys that said, hey, I'm so much 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.800 of a vet, I don't care. I know what to do. 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.280 Hey de Montre, tighten up. Remember you can't do this. 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.880 You ain't bobbying this and that like you don't you 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.960 lost Michael. You got Trayvon doing what he's doing. You 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.520 got Dak that is a leader but not leader. But 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:46.199 and when I say leader but not leader, it's from 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:47.960 what I'm seeing in the media. It's not when I 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.960 was in that locker room when you had Tyrone Smith, 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.240 that was the silent giant. 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:52.320 He didn't say much. 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.679 But in that locker room or in that meeting room 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.679 when the O line came here, let's get this done, 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.679 you had Travis Frederick. You had a young Zach Martin 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.720 det got ushered into this the right way. Hell, even 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.400 when Denz was here, you had theirs that taught these 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.800 guys how to be a Dallas cowboy receiver, embraced that 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.680 Drew Pearson mentality, teed. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.439 Up Terrence william over there on the sideline. 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.240 And right now, I don't see that big vet that's saying, 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.199 hey guy, this let's go get offensively. 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.439 I would say they like that. 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:23.920 That that's one of the leaders. 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.040 And I take that back about for it. But it 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.199 can't just be one leader. It's a it's a cohesiveness. 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.320 It's usually a guy in the front end and a 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:33.920 guy in the back end, and then your role piece. 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.000 Well, since you're talking about defense, who's the leader on 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.600 the defensive side, You don't that's. 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.680 Where you don't and you don't have it, and so 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.280 that's where it's like in the past. Typically I felt 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.080 like they had the defensive presence as leaders, Like you 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.160 had a guy like Terrence Crawford that was a. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:49.840 Silent leader that did get in their respect. 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:51.920 But then you had a guy like the markets lawyers 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.839 that were the big voice, say hey, when we need 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.000 to charge somebody up, we knew how to charge him up. 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:58.760 He knew how to charge him up in the media 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.160 without giving them too much bulletin board material. Then you 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.679 got the young guys that gavilanized around them with young 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:09.480 Trayvon dig those guys of Vanderbosch, that was the vendors. 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.360 You had those guys that filed in right now, now 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:12.839 you don't. 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:13.880 You don't have any of that. 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.720 You got probably your two guys are Kenny Clark, who 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:17.440 you just traded. 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.719 He was just here and I love, I love right 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.240 at the beginning, but he just got here. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.200 He just got here, so you got to establish it 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.760 to a certain extent. The other one's probably Demone Clark, 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.320 who's been in and out of the lineup, and he 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.960 doesn't say much either. So when you piece it all 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.080 together from a defensive standpoint. And I love the way 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.120 you use the term eraser because you thought you were 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.000 going to have that guy to finish that eraser mentality 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.200 of Micah Parsons. You don't have that, But you know 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.240 what you do have. You do have an eraser that 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.360 you can take to the chalkboard and try and find 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.040 a new game plan. Because whatever's happening now through the 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.960 first three weeks of the season, whether that's eberflus or 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.280 execution or scheme or whatever it ends up being across 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.120 the board, it's got to be a different because both 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.800 exactly and when you don't have a sack against the 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:03.840 team like the Chicago Bears, which allowed sixty eight sacks 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.960 of their rookie quarterback who was a number one overall 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.840 pick last year, sixty eight the tops in the NFL, 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.959 most sacked quarterback of all time, and you didn't get 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.120 a sack on him. There's no other team in the 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.400 NFL where you can confidently look up and down the 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.960 schedule and say this Cowboys team's going to be better 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.480 against them than they were against the Bears. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:22.520 You gotta change something. 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.640 And if you're not to cut you off, but if 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.480 you're a former or we're all former players, but you 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.680 know how it is in that locker room. If there's 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.959 blood in the water, like hey, we starting to hunt. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.240 It's crazy. The interesting fact was this man, Caleb Williams, 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.760 has been sacked in every single game that he played 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:42.240 and up until yesterday. If I don't care if I'm 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.560 not Michael Parsons, I don't care who I am, but 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.080 me as a defensive player, I'm taking that on the chin, like, bro, 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.760 we look, that's the first game that that man went ungrazed. 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.319 That's the first game that that man felt safe as 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:56.200 a defensive player. 0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:01.559 There are okay, yeah and shot me look at it. 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.480 And one of these things we always used to say, 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.000 you know what I'm saying, either from from from a 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.520 from a higher level, either you're coaching it or you're 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.160 allowing it to happen. Either you're coaching it or you're 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.560 allowing it to happen. Like that, all right, So now 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.720 we pray to God that then that coaching bad techniques 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.240 like coach Majors Johnny Majors was my coach at University 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.480 of Pittsburgh. Came back to pit. He coached my dad 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.560 when my dad was in so he comes back right. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.880 I remember one to day coach Majors was going off 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.480 with practice. He's like, I know when I recruited these boys, 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.000 they had talent, y'all. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.160 Coaches then coached all the talent out these kids. 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.800 So it's a thing whereas were laughing about it, but 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.400 leave Dallas and they go somewhere else and they might 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:42.960 ball out. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:50.400 Happen career right now this year Warren's Armstrong Dante Valor Junior, And. 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.240 So like it was one of these things, like as 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.120 I was sitting here this morning and I'm watching the 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.640 game over and like it was something that jumped into 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.040 my head, and like it's gonna sound crazy to y'all, but. 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.199 Is it systematic losing here? 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:03.520 Now? 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.079 Is it so entresed? Is it so entrenched in the DNA? 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.960 And just like in the makeup of this organization and 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.080 what's going on is that it's just like inevitable to 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.000 get out of right now? 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.000 Can they just not get out their own way some 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:16.360 kind of. 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.200 Way that is not as crazy as you make it sound, 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.480 because we all know that don't do that. They come 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.400 to the players line to get the facts when we 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.240 in the locker room. What every year, right when the 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.840 season's coming. You know who's in the playoffs, who's not, 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.000 and we know who's a free agent. When you're a 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.520 free agent, you already said, hey, man, I know they 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.000 ain't got that over there. I know they ain't got 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.280 that over there, But if I go over there, I'm 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:37.840 gonna get paid, but I'm about to lose for the 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.000 rest of my career. There are certain organizations right now. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.680 The Browns are trying to turn it around, but we 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:44.280 all know that. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:44.960 During the off. 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.600 Season it was like, hey, you go to the Browns 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.480 and get paid, but you know you're losing over there. 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.600 The Raiders tried to switch it around, but before Max 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:52.800 Crosby got there, what. 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.080 Were people saying about the Raiders? 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.080 Now, back in your date, they was cold, But when 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.040 I was it was like you lost those fights. You 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.000 go through those those spells and you see them turning 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.000 into those organizations where people don't want to be a 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:06.760 part of them, Like, yeah, you might have won in 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.160 the past, but right now we know they're not winning. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:10.720 Their facilities are horrible, or. 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.960 You know what all they care about over there is 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.360 the star player needs to get his touches, and it's 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.320 not a team atmosphere and So when you say that, 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.080 it kind of makes me think about this, and I 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:22.800 think about it because I think about my time in 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.800 Texas and them right when I was leaving, you know, 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:27.840 you had guys like von Miller. We were starting to 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.400 be on the up and up. We beat Bama and 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.240 stuff like that, to where when I left, everybody was like, oh, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.760 and it might be competing for a national championship, and 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.240 it was like, y'all aren't hungry no more. Y'all living 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.400 off the past of what other people have done to 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.960 where this program like you're just you're around and you're 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.600 relevant enough to people say, ah, they're gonna do something, 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.560 and then you just don't turn that corner. And it's like, 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.960 what are you living off of? You're living off Johnny Manfield, 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.960 You're living off de Mantrae, You're living off Vaughn like 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.040 these pasts, what are we doing? Or we still living 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.240 off of the great eighty eight Michael Irving, Emmis Smith. 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.400 And when you think about this stuff, Oh, because they 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.520 had the top offense. Oh because you had the guy 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.560 that was the top pass rusher. Now it's like we're 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.640 only one play away, and it's like, nah, you gotta 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.880 get hungry. You gotta that eraser was tooking and the 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.760 found Unfortunately, the foundation is being shown right now and 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.640 it is shaky. You got one big domino right here 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.600 and the rest of them are falling. So at teeter tides. 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.240 The first two weeks, Dak Prescott best quarterback in the NFL. 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.800 This last week, Dak Prescott, he ain't there. So when 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:28.960 your strong domino shows that he's human, who else is 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.560 there to pick it up? When Michael Parson is not there, 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.840 we don't have nobody else on defense to pick it up. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:38.080 You Romadouzier got a Player of the week by Good 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:39.240 Morning Football. 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:40.040 And I'm looking at the highlight. 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.560 I said, man, I didn't realize how boys was out 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.080 there playing playing connected. 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:45.880 This one thing. 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:47.640 If you ain't got it, you know, it's one thing. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.640 If hey, you know what, this team just ain't talented enough. 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:54.760 You got the talent. You're hurting yourself, man. 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.320 And that's the that's the more mind blowing and the. 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.960 More frustrating part about all of this defense, because offensively 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:02.840 they gonna get right. I think I mean that he's 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.800 too good of a quarterback. I mean they got wet 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:05.639 on that side. 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.680 You'll be offensive line with the line played well, they 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:10.600 opened up the holes. 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:15.240 But defensively, you hurting yourself blowing coverages like it ain't 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.439 like you're just getting routed. Except for that one crazy 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.119 technique that that digs did we try to jam and 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:26.240 turning his own. Other than that, you're hurting yourself with 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.400 these blown coverages, and that's that's gotta be the frustrating 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:30.879 part with eba flus in this defense. 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.480 Can we talk about that on the other side of 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.160 the break, because Hey, I've got three defensive guys here, 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.280 so we're going to dive into the defense a little 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.240 bit extra Whenever we go into that matchup against the Bears, 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.399 we'll talk about the offense and the third segment. But 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.800 when we come back here on the players lounge, what 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.400 is going on with the scheme and the thought process? 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.240 Is this just a coordinator trying to learn his guys 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.000 too late in the process. Let's talk about that when 0:17:53.040 --> 0:19:01.200 we come back right after this.

Just a little bit. 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:30.280 He's trying to entertain y'all. I would say, like this 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:32.280 defense is trying to entertain, but I don't know if 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:35.440 they're entertaining us or if they're entertaining the other fan base. 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:36.000 How dare you? 0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.600 I'm filling in and you're comparing me to that defense. 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:43.360 It's all we're all under one umbrella right now. We're 0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:44.720 trying to get them together. 0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:47.200 Yeah, what do you say? You gotta challenge this? True? 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.399 Apparently with the type of team that we got, you 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:52.080 gotta challenge them through the media, So just be careful 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:54.280 watching because you might get something. 0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:56.399 For it's a little joking joke. It's the players. 0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:58.280 But I'm gonna tell you like this, like I said 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:01.240 last year, don't send me no d I am a player. 0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:04.200 First, Barry is a player first. Eight is a player first. 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:05.679 And whoever sits in that check. 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:13.080 We're emmy winners, all right. Like you said, going into 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:16.560 the break, you're talking about the the the defensive side 0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:19.240 of the ball and the scheme that gets it there. 0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:22.720 You were talking about coverages and and the way that 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:25.360 they were playing off the ball in certain situations where 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:27.399 they're playing on the ball in certain situations. When you 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:30.359 look back at the film, was it as bad going 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:33.240 back through it today as it was watching it live 0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:34.199 when you were in the studio. 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.480 I would say it was just because the same mistakes 0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:41.119 are reoccurring. And when you go through an ebra flu system, 0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:42.720 it's not difficult. 0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:45.440 Like that's the thing that simple. It's very simple. 0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:47.920 You know, it's a three bout one check, bout two 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:50.159 check in the secondary wise, I don't know what y'all go, 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:52.040 but it's very wise. 0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:54.439 Like taking me through a real quick So ebra Flu's defense. 0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:57.080 You're going to a game plan with your defense. How 0:23:57.119 --> 0:23:58.399 many coverages y'all gonna have them? 0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:01.880 We got a man maybe two or three different fire zones, 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:04.359 which means a blitz, but the zone behind it, and 0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:06.000 then you got your basic cover two. 0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:06.960 Cover four, cover three. 0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:10.159 And it's really simple because it's like, all right, they 0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:11.680 come out in three bout one, All right, this is 0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:14.000 what we're checking to. This safety's dropping down versus the 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:15.960 you know, on the open side, Roy, Lou. 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:16.920 That's the communication. 0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:19.080 Roy, I'm coming down on the right side, Lou, I'm 0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:20.160 coming down on the left side. 0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:21.400 It's really simple. 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:24.320 Two by two you're going away from the nickel, so 0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:26.680 the nickels on this side, Hey, I'm coming down, Roy. 0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:30.280 And when it's two by if you down, you gotta 0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:33.600 carry the seams like. It's super simple. 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:36.240 It's not like a Rob Ryan or Rex Ryan defense 0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:37.879 where they come out in three boy one. 0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:38.960 You're checking X y Z. 0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:41.040 They come out you're checking this, that and the third. 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:44.600 It's extremely simple, and it ain't make it that way 0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:47.800 so your defense can play fast, because that's all the 0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:50.880 Marinelli flus. They want you to play fast. They want 0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:52.840 you to play like your hair is on fire, and 0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:55.119 it want you to just go. And the less thinking, 0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.959 the more reacting, that's what they want. So when I 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.200 see this, these defenses, and granted the pass rush is 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:04.280 non existent, but when I see this and he saved 0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:08.159 these they bad eyes. You see it all over the place. 0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:11.919 The division is just wrong. You're not reading the keys question. 0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:14.320 But I know it. 0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:16.920 I know the pass rush is not what it used 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:20.760 to be. But let's not say non existence. But no, no, no, no, 0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:23.320 he didn't know. He did not get touched. He did 0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:25.640 not he did not know. No, No, I'm gonna sit 0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:27.720 there and say that. I will tell you there is 0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:31.080 no consistent past rup none. But the few times that 0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:34.000 there are some wins, it's like you, like you said 0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:36.520 the holes in the defense, It's like it's both of 0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:39.639 the guys to where I feel like collectively they're falling 0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:42.080 down as a whole. Like how many times have I 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:44.080 told you I like what I seen from the young pup, 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.600 I like what I seen from Houston, Like he had 0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:49.760 a mean chop, like coming around the edge. But on 0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:52.040 the same play, I believe that was the play that 0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:55.439 Malik Neighbors got went over on digs and it was 0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:58.200 bombs over bag that so the few pass rushers that 0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:01.720 are winning is getting the game by misplaced and miscommunity. 0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:04.880 Think about that touchdown to DJ Moore in the red zone. 0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:09.040 Noody Williams was bouncing out of a collapsed pocket, but 0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:10.760 because he was able to extend the play and he 0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:13.760 had some level of exit there, that's when Dj Moore 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:16.040 snuck was and that egg cooker and the bad eyes 0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:16.359 got him. 0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:20.760 And that's why I think for me, I think it's 0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:24.399 more so technique. This is this is just sloppy technique, 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:26.760 Like what did they say and scramble Drew is when 0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:29.640 we do pursuit d get your eyes off the quarterback, 0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:31.760 find a receiver and grab and put his hands on him. 0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:33.840 Once you scramble out the pocket, you can put your 0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:36.200 hands on him and jack him up. When he scrambled 0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:39.399 out the pocket, everybody's looking and floating. But if you're 0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:41.600 gonna float, go attack, Go be the spy guy and 0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:44.119 really go get him. But don't have those bad eyes. 0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:47.800 And then as far as the pass rush, like you, 0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:50.159 there is zero. It is none on the edge. But 0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:53.280 you've been getting constant penetration up the middle of the 0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:56.000 nose weekend and week out. So it's like this is 0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:59.160 this is really just technique, and we all know that once. 0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:01.320 It's like, hey man, I didn't hit this guy with 0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:04.240 my best move and you not doing your job right now, 0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:06.200 it's like, all right, I'm trying to be the hero 0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:09.840 and right now what I see personally, and y'all can 0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:11.480 tell me if you're wrong, but I see too many 0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:13.679 heroes right now. I see too many people saying, hey, 0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:16.119 I'm pass rushing and I'm a win or whatever. 0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:17.600 Those other three need to do what they doing. 0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:19.640 I see too many people in the secondary like, oh, 0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:21.240 I'm trying to go for the big hit, I'm trying 0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:23.160 to do this and do that, and you getting put 0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:25.360 out of play on top of the sloppy technique. 0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:26.240 It sucks over here. 0:27:26.440 --> 0:27:29.359 And I think with ebra flues, like you said, when 0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:33.000 you don't have that eraser in there, like right now, 0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:35.040 you're trying to galvanize the guys. You're trying to show 0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:38.960 them that you're schematically is going to work. But they're 0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.359 in such dire needs where they saying this ain't working, 0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:45.800 like it is so simple. If it was a complex system, 0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.520 I could say, hey, you took your biggest eraser out here, 0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:50.959 and now guys are doing this other stuff. But we 0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:53.399 all know when you're in ebraflus. Once it's checked, its 0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:55.000 stay checked, Go do this and play. 0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:57.360 How is is that to change, Anthony? 0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:00.000 When you look at bad technique and what's tuck specific 0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:03.400 about the secondary when it's bad technique on the backside, 0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:06.359 how quick can you make a switch there? So is 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:07.359 that something that takes time? 0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.520 No, to a man, and Barry can tell you and 0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:12.600 Tray can tell you this too as well. Like the 0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:14.800 one thing about being a professional athlete is that we 0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:16.520 could be hyper focused. 0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:18.439 And so it doesn't take two to three weeks. 0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:21.119 Like you can honestly watch some video of yourself, it 0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:24.080 gets so like just perturbed about what you're doing and 0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:24.600 what you're seeing. 0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:25.960 It just be like, no, I got to change this 0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:26.480 right now. 0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:29.440 You know now collectively as a team, it takes a 0:28:29.440 --> 0:28:31.639 little bit longer because like once again, we don't know 0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:35.159 why this person's eyes are bad, or what he's not 0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:37.359 seeing or what he's not hearing or whatever the case 0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.560 may be. But no, like it can happen that fast, 0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:42.240 Like if you want to make a change, you can 0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:45.120 decide to make a change, but you know the whole 0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:47.320 thing about it is just like what we said, it's 0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:50.200 not just one piece. It's so many different pieces here 0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:52.320 there up front, the middle. 0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:52.640 And the back. 0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:56.200 So you know it's going to take some time and 0:28:56.360 --> 0:29:00.040 to hear how simple this defense is. You know, Like 0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.840 I had Greg Williams as a decoordinator and then my 0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:04.440 first year in the league, I ran We ran the 0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:09.440 forty six, which is the hardest thing you could ever magine, Okay, 0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:12.560 and so like and so to have the communication and 0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:15.880 to have all this stuff and to make everything flow together, well, 0:29:16.040 --> 0:29:18.400 it can be done. You know, like if that if 0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:21.600 that defense can be successful, any defense can be especially 0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:24.400 with one with one or two checks at the end 0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:28.200 of it. So, I mean it goes back to like 0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:32.240 what we talked about before. You gotta make it so simple, 0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:34.840 and I don't know how we make it any easier 0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:36.680 than what it actually sounds like it is. 0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:39.680 Besides guys just making up their mind. 0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:41.719 When you want on, man, you can't. That's exactly what 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:42.239 he's gonna do. 0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:46.560 Is that all these coordinators that run this type of 0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:49.680 style of defense, when they get to the level of pistivity, 0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:51.840 they go in there and what do they say, Man, 0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:54.960 this is the most simplest defense that you have right now, 0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:57.080 run this Like, what else can I do? 0:29:57.200 --> 0:29:58.480 I can't do anything for y'all? 0:29:58.520 --> 0:29:59.520 How are you grading out? 0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:03.840 And like so, I've always I've checked part of your offenses. 0:30:03.600 --> 0:30:05.440 That you had to grade out at least a certain 0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:08.400 number to even keep your starting position for the next week, 0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:10.400 You know what I mean? And so what I'm seeing 0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:14.760 on video nobody's grading out. Yeah, No, one's like literally 0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:16.800 played in that in that space to say, oh, I 0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:18.680 deserve to be back out here next week. 0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:19.560 It hasn't happened. 0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:21.600 Is that more of a question of what the depth 0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:24.800 they have behind them to where cats are out here 0:30:24.800 --> 0:30:27.880 getting burnt left and right? You got mental mistakes in 0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:30.280 the secondary. You got guys along that defive line not 0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:32.000 being able to win on one on ones, not being 0:30:32.000 --> 0:30:34.880 able to get to the quarterbacks. You got linebackers you know, 0:30:34.920 --> 0:30:37.600 missing tackles, not getting up depth in the in the zones, 0:30:38.240 --> 0:30:40.480 and that's reoccurring. Does that go to show you that 0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:43.200 the depth behind them is that that bad or the 0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:45.640 coach is just like, man, we go, we don't trust 0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:47.160 those guys. 0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:50.760 To be all the whole. Yeah, you talked about the 0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:53.000 talent in that first segment. Right, you said, this team 0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:56.680 has talent, that's plain and simple. You do at the top, 0:30:57.040 --> 0:30:59.320 you do from one to ten, one to eleven. You 0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:03.080 feel pretty good about stacking your one and eleven going 0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:05.960 anywhere else in the league. But from twelve to fifty 0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:08.000 three is where you've got a little bit of shake. 0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:11.040 So and it's a steep drop drop. 0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:15.040 I think that, Like we talked about this before, and 0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:17.640 I don't know how the league. Well I do understand 0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:20.160 how the league got to this, because money speaks loud, 0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:23.680 you know what I mean? What there was a point 0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:26.720 in time where people actually use the preseason to get 0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:32.480 some cohesion with the players. Now preseason here has turned 0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:35.600 into like the celebrity hangout thing, you know what I mean. 0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:38.160 I'm not playing today, so let me go over here. 0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:41.600 Like I'm not a DeVante Adams type dude, but let 0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:43.640 me go here rough shoulders with him, you know what 0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:47.040 I'm saying. Like, because it and the whole thing that 0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:52.200 is transpired here has gone away from like keeping what's 0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:55.800 first supposed to be first, and that's football competitiveness. 0:31:55.840 --> 0:31:59.160 Say it, that's the game is getting soft. I said, 0:31:59.160 --> 0:31:59.880 it's too much for. 0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:02.680 You know, bumping going Hey, I'm sitting over here and 0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:06.080 I'm watching stuff, and everybody that I see that the 0:32:06.120 --> 0:32:08.800 cameras in front of is a young dude, is a 0:32:08.840 --> 0:32:09.400 young player. 0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:14.880 I'm not even gonna say it's just because the young 0:32:14.960 --> 0:32:17.360 dudes that this and that it just goes to heart 0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:20.960 and that competitive nature, like just the coming over it 0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:24.040 like hey, I understand safety and all this type of stuff, 0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:27.040 but the mentality, like the aggressiveness that I fell in 0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:31.240 love with football watching guys like Jesse Armstead Michael straight Hand, 0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:33.840 like were talking about two different caliber players, one that 0:32:33.920 --> 0:32:35.200 talk trash, one that don't. 0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:39.280 You're worried about with sex and sex satan about them. 0:32:39.320 --> 0:32:41.080 They might not be. They might not be. 0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:43.680 But even if I can't even say that, because you 0:32:43.680 --> 0:32:47.680 got guys like Chad Johnson, trail Owens like they they 0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:49.600 were on the social media, they were active in that, 0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:56.640 but they were still competitors like that competitor like, but 0:32:57.520 --> 0:33:00.840 they still were competitives. Like it was like what they say, 0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:02.840 this is my craft. What Ocho said came, no corner 0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:04.920 hold me. I got the sweetest feet out here. They 0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:07.160 were so confident in their skills and they worked that 0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:09.040 hard in it to where it was like bam. 0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:10.280 When it came to the off season. 0:33:10.320 --> 0:33:14.920 You've seen Santana moss O, Cho Terrell and young Antonio Brown. 0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:16.560 You've seen them out there competing. 0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:19.200 And now it's too much of when you get out there, 0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:23.040 Oh I got beat. Ah, man this happened, or man, 0:33:23.320 --> 0:33:25.360 we'll get a fix. Like it's too much of the 0:33:25.400 --> 0:33:28.240 polished answer. And you don't see people putting that onus 0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:30.360 on they self where they say I gotta do this, 0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:31.800 because at the end of the day, this is a 0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:35.520 warrior's sport, This is a warrior's mentality. I come over 0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:38.120 here and I dominate you. Too many times we see 0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:40.280 people getting dominated and what coach you used to say 0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:41.920 back in the day, if you end up on the ground, 0:33:41.920 --> 0:33:43.920 you better pop back up. Well, now, when I turn 0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:46.960 on that Cowboys film, I see people getting dominated and. 0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:49.920 It's the I'm gonna roll over real quick. 0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:52.640 Let me fix my jersey, and it's like, nah, I 0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:54.920 need to get up and boath somebody and go hit somebody. 0:33:54.920 --> 0:33:57.560 What they say on Friday, Hey, I know y'all ain't 0:33:57.560 --> 0:33:59.640 gonna arrest nobody, but just whoop a little A double 0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:01.800 snakes on the way down to the police station and 0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:04.360 that's where we're starting to get to. At this point, 0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:07.280 you were talking about ten wins. Shoot, I'll be over there. 0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:10.479 Can you please just punch somebody? Can you please name 0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:11.360 on my little. 0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:14.920 Roan? 0:34:15.360 --> 0:34:17.000 I mean, shoot, you might as well send this man 0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:19.360 an Instagram like and a TikTok moji. The way that 0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:21.680 we're being out here, and that's what is going to 0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:24.920 We don't have that better. That's why I love watching 0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:27.200 y'all play. That's why when I came into the league, 0:34:27.239 --> 0:34:29.279 people was like, man, you were you was born in 0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:32.560 the wrong generation, because I've seen the change of people 0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:36.640 still competing, like justin Tuck matthis Ke Jason Pierre, Paul 0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:39.640 Sean Rodgers coming into a room like that. Then in 0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:42.840 the back end you have Aaron Ross, Corey Western and 0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:44.280 Trail roads like these. 0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:48.440 Are all faller like here. 0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:50.920 No, no, this was on the end of that.

Like sometimes you just ain't adult, Like sometimes 0:35:43.800 --> 0:35:46.640 the talent is just that big of a gap. It 0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:48.799 ain't like these dudes are just going out there like, man, 0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:51.759 you know what, I'm gonna get paid this week?

But I'm gonna say is 0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:23.880 I don't see the frustration. I don't see the certain 0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:26.360 will factor where it's like if I got beat, I 0:36:26.440 --> 0:36:29.479 come over here and say that, like, Okay, George picking 0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:32.759 messed up. That pick was solely on him. But I've 0:36:32.800 --> 0:36:35.400 seen the passion, don't You don't got to throw your helmet, 0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:40.040 breaking his helmets. But I'm like, but I know it 0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:43.040 doesn't make it.

You know they're gonna 0:41:34.080 --> 0:41:34.920 come in here on one. 0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:38.400 There's no sneaking up on hold up lash Jacobs. 0:41:39.560 --> 0:41:41.080 He didn't get a he didn't get a tub last week. 0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:41.880 They kept him out of that. 0:41:42.160 --> 0:41:45.640 But everybody was talking craazy to him, said, I'm making 0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:47.120 it a point to break your streak. 0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:49.680 He about to reactive back the streak.

You think BASASCEI ain't coming back. 0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:02.400 When we talk about guys in that last segment of 0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:06.640 those that had that killer mentality, those guys that go 0:42:06.680 --> 0:42:09.400 out there were talking about taste their own blood. I 0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:12.640 love this. That is what you have in a coach 0:42:12.680 --> 0:42:16.200 in rich Basachi like that man is a leader of 0:42:16.320 --> 0:42:18.480 men like It's a reason why it's a special Not 0:42:18.520 --> 0:42:21.160 too many special team head coaches get nominated to go 0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:24.040 even interview for a head coaching job and should have 0:42:24.080 --> 0:42:26.680 got it. So you think that he ain't what they say. 0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:28.560 You see your old ex girlfriend this and that, I 0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:30.440 love my new situation and this and that. But hold on, 0:42:30.480 --> 0:42:32.160 let me put on this clone and make sure I 0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:34.560 look real good. You know what you lost. You lost 0:42:34.600 --> 0:42:37.719 two cowboys, like two key pieces at one point in time. 0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:40.200 Everybody knows in this building that they didn't want to 0:42:40.239 --> 0:42:43.640 lose Rich Bassachi. Then on top of that there's hit 0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:46.400 or miss. But as far as talent wise, forget everything else. 0:42:46.600 --> 0:42:49.240 But you don't lose talent like that in Michael Parsons, 0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:50.680 you got two of them going for you. 0:42:50.760 --> 0:42:54.200 Over there. It's about to be a good week rivalry. 0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:58.200 There's with the Catchers the last Hey, that's three of 0:42:58.239 --> 0:42:59.959 them right there, Holy trinity right there. 0:43:00.440 --> 0:43:04.080 That this Green Bay game is about to be special. 0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:06.200 Within his own rights, They're going to be so many 0:43:06.200 --> 0:43:08.080 different headlines that's gonna be popping up this week. 0:43:08.239 --> 0:43:10.279 They are one of two teams in the NFL through 0:43:10.320 --> 0:43:12.600 three games that have not allowed two hundred and fifty 0:43:12.600 --> 0:43:14.000 total yards in any. 0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:14.720 Of their three games. 0:43:14.719 --> 0:43:16.960 They're one of two teams. The other team it's the 0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:19.440 team they lost to this week in the Cleveland Brown defense. 0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:22.120 They got some defense coming And it's not just Michah 0:43:22.200 --> 0:43:25.239 Parsons for Sean Gary had yeah RG last week. 0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:26.160 I mean the secondary. 0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:28.799 It's really good, Anthony. When when you look at the 0:43:28.840 --> 0:43:31.520 offense and you look at the way that they've prepared 0:43:31.920 --> 0:43:33.960 and the way that they played last week compared to 0:43:33.960 --> 0:43:36.640 this week, what's your confidence level going up against that defense? 0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:43.359 The confidence there for the Cowboys? Boys, Hey, it's it's 0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:45.759 going to be a struggle, okay. I mean, and we 0:43:45.840 --> 0:43:48.480 saw some some minor cracks. You know, Dak has been 0:43:48.520 --> 0:43:49.799 playing exceptionally well. 0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:51.520 How do you feel like you played yesterday? 0:43:52.239 --> 0:43:54.160 I feel like he had the press towards the end, 0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:55.920 and I feel like that's what we were seeing a 0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:58.000 little bit of, you know. And then of course when 0:43:58.000 --> 0:44:00.680 you got CD go down, you lose, You lose a 0:44:01.239 --> 0:44:04.640 major target like that on offense, and it basically almost 0:44:04.719 --> 0:44:07.359 kind of push you almost one dimension on so many 0:44:07.400 --> 0:44:10.279 kind of ways. But it's going it's gonna be tough. 0:44:10.360 --> 0:44:14.319 It's definitely gonna be tough. I haven't seen anything any 0:44:14.360 --> 0:44:18.560 consistency to say that, you know, like, well, I actually 0:44:18.560 --> 0:44:21.000 have seen more consistency over the past few years, but 0:44:21.040 --> 0:44:25.000 I haven't seen anything to say, Okay, the run game 0:44:25.080 --> 0:44:27.880 is going to definitely do this this week. We know 0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:31.000 without we know without CD we're going to be missing something. 0:44:31.040 --> 0:44:35.839 But we do it as much as real hard. 0:44:36.080 --> 0:44:37.239 They didn't go away from it. 0:44:37.480 --> 0:44:39.760 Yeah, I'm not they got away from I'm not hating 0:44:39.800 --> 0:44:41.759 on the run game at all. He's actually playing a 0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:45.319 great playing really good right now. But if you're first 0:44:45.320 --> 0:44:47.319 of allf you're down, you ain't gonna keep running the 0:44:47.320 --> 0:44:51.120 ball all right. And we haven't shown like the balance 0:44:51.160 --> 0:44:53.919 has been there, but it hasn't been to the place 0:44:53.920 --> 0:44:55.680 where like we could just sit up here and say, Okay, 0:44:55.800 --> 0:44:57.160 we know they're gonna be able to run the ball 0:44:57.160 --> 0:44:58.600 down they throw, we know they're gonna run right a 0:44:58.680 --> 0:45:02.160 MIC or anything else like that. Green Bay's defense, even 0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:03.719 though with it being as young as it is, them 0:45:03.760 --> 0:45:05.640 young boys in the secondary, is making plays. 0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:07.359 They are. 0:45:08.040 --> 0:45:10.600 When you ask me about how confident I am with it, 0:45:11.000 --> 0:45:12.840 I'm gonna just keep it one hundred. Like, I'm not 0:45:12.920 --> 0:45:14.839 confident in the cowboys on either side of the ball 0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:16.800 right now. The only thing I'm confident in is the kicker. 0:45:17.880 --> 0:45:18.560 He's a good one. 0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:22.839 Even Dak said that though he said, we can't rely 0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:26.360 on Brandon get points when we have an opportunity. 0:45:26.160 --> 0:45:28.560 You relying on field goals win, win you the game. 0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:33.040 It's like you you're desperate right now. But as as 0:45:33.120 --> 0:45:34.719 much as I say that I'm gonna I'm gonna be 0:45:34.760 --> 0:45:38.480 Devil's advocate, I'm more so confident in the offense than 0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:41.200 I Obviously the defense is the weak point. But what 0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:46.160 makes me so confident in the offense, Besides the last game, 0:45:47.040 --> 0:45:49.160 Dak showed me, which I've always said, he was a 0:45:49.200 --> 0:45:52.400 top ten quarterback in this league. Now, do you have 0:45:52.480 --> 0:45:55.040 higher expectations for him, yes, but he showed me what 0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:57.920 Barry has been banging on the drums since the season 0:45:57.960 --> 0:46:01.319 is start those first two games, he put the team 0:46:01.360 --> 0:46:01.839 on his back. 0:46:01.920 --> 0:46:03.000 He had that cape. 0:46:03.320 --> 0:46:07.120 And with that being said, I look at this Cowboys team, 0:46:07.200 --> 0:46:09.560 at least the offense coming in this week kind of 0:46:09.600 --> 0:46:12.359 like I was looking at the Bears, like we went 0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:14.480 from having all this success and now we lost to 0:46:15.120 --> 0:46:19.279 the We lost to the Bears. And then Dak, I 0:46:19.360 --> 0:46:22.480 know him and the competitive leader that he is, he's 0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:24.800 gonna sit there, He's gonna bring up all those first 0:46:24.840 --> 0:46:25.760 that happened this week. 0:46:26.239 --> 0:46:27.520 We don't have CD. Now. 0:46:27.560 --> 0:46:29.520 Guess what, George, we need you to show them that 0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:31.400 you are the number one, that that really is a 0:46:31.440 --> 0:46:33.160 one eight and a one B type guy. 0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:35.839 Hey, Ferguson, keep being that guy. Jafonte. 0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:38.759 You have revived your career and showed people that, hey, 0:46:38.760 --> 0:46:41.280 you're looking at rookie year four and the old line 0:46:41.320 --> 0:46:43.640 who we thought, which I was trying to do it earlier, 0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:44.600 but I'm gonna do it now. 0:46:44.800 --> 0:46:47.000 I am giving y'all y'all flowers is early. 0:46:47.080 --> 0:46:49.040 Do not do that, but hurry up and get this 0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:50.879 thing going to where I think these guys are gonna 0:46:50.880 --> 0:46:52.920 make this play. The offense is gonna be there. I 0:46:52.920 --> 0:46:55.320 think they're gonna bounce back like once you get punched 0:46:55.320 --> 0:46:57.320 in the mouth. It's how you respond, I think, and 0:46:57.400 --> 0:47:00.440 Dak has always responded. So the offense is the it's 0:47:00.480 --> 0:47:01.920 the defense. I'm really worried about. 0:47:01.920 --> 0:47:04.640 Big game coming up on Sunday, but lots the breakdown. 0:47:04.640 --> 0:47:06.359 I know you guys will be back tomorrow to break 0:47:06.360 --> 0:47:09.520 it down here two pm Central Time from Dallascowboys dot 0:47:09.560 --> 0:47:14.200 Com Radio for Anthony Dorset, for Demontre Moore, Barry Church 0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:16.360 Chris Beam in the back of Kyle Yeomen.
