I 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:29.600 didn't do any push ups today. Don't get down and 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.800 give me this right now, give me twenty right now. 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:33.600 They can't see that. Give me twenty.

Isaiah's actually the trainer, so 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.200 it was kind of interesting for me to say one 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.559 time to him, feel good. It did feel good because 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.800 he's usually give me more. You know, I'm gonna give 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.320 I'm gonna give the people out there a little tip. 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.600 Next time you guys have a bet, because I don't 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.320 bet on I don't bet with money, right, So, next 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.760 time you guys have a bet, bet push ups, but 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.239 bet on demand push ups. So bet somebody down, yeah, 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.720 drop down whenever. Whenever you say dropped down, that's when 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.520 that person has a dropped down. It's the greatest bet ever. Like, 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.200 just bet them fifty push ups, okay, bet cool? All 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.440 right now now it's locked in. You win, instead of 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.600 betting money, handing somebody a twenty or whatever, it is 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.679 now when you see them in there in the middle 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.239 of the church service said, hey, that's dangerous. Save that. 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.760 You save it. Absolutely, that's dangerous to play there with me, 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.520 because we'll be in crow grown out. Now, I'll be 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.960 like dropping. You will be public bathroom. I will be 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:41.760 like dropping. Give me five gross right next to the 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.320 pea man. You're like walking and you're walking into your seat. Drip, 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.480 walk into your seat in a movie theater and you're like, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.600 get me twenty and you you're hopping down. You're in 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.799 the popcorn kernels. No, he's not gonna make you do 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.720 a fifty one. He's gonna spread spread. You can have 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:05.560 it drop down to give me two. Wait what wait? Huh? Yeah. Nice. 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.360 That's actually a good idea, but also terrifying at the 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:13.079 same time when you think, actually, I will make a bet, 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:14.480 but I don't know what to bet on yet. But 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.320 let's keep it in mind. But this week we'll make 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.959 a bet. We'll make something happen. All right, Well, let's 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.799 do some news and notes. Let's get that out of 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.280 the way. Let's talk about what happened yesterday. Mike McCarthy, 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.639 Kellen Moore, Dan Quayn All speaking to the media John 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:33.280 Fossil as well, and then we've got players off day today, correct, correct, 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.040 and then they'll be back at it tomorrow with a 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.400 change schedule and everything. But Student News and Notes once 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.480 again give us a call eight eight eight five five 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:45.000 two two ninety seven. Leading with the injury report, um. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.720 The only major injury knockoling Wood to come out of 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.920 Sunday's lost against Green Bay was starting corner back Anthony 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:55.240 Brown left with the concussion following that first Christian Watson touchdown. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.480 He was ruled out immediately. He is now officially in 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.360 the concussion protocol, Hasbenson Sunday. When asked about it on yesterday, 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.480 Mike McCarthy said that Brown quote unquote definitely has a 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:11.840 chance to go on Sunday against Minnesota. I would caution 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.280 everyone to understand, though, that concussion protocol is what it is, 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:20.080 and it is more stringent nowadays post TUA. So regardless 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.560 of how anyone feels, if if Anthony Brown doesn't clear 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.640 every single hurdle in the concussion protocol between now and 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.480 I'd say Saturday, because he's also going to have to 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.599 get at least one full practice in, then he may 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.840 not go. So really touching go on Anthony Brown this week. 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.720 Will see how they go is. But there is optimism 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.360 from Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys training staff there. As 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.279 far as some of the events on Sunday, you know, 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.440 obviously you heard or you may not have heard dan quinn. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.200 He was asked about the run defense. Mc McCarthy asked 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.280 about the run defense, and I love what McCarthy said. 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.600 When pressed about Rundy, he said, pass rush is a privilege, 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.240 and I love that because basically what he's intimating is 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.279 that you don't get to pin your ears back and 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.760 go after an opposing quarterback if that team knows they 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.520 can run down your throat time and time again. So 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:15.120 as furiously frustrated as he was on Sunday, he is 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.520 making it clear, along with dan Quinn, that this defense 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.680 needs to improve in the run capacity or in defending 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.039 the run. Dan Quinn when asked, and Jerry Jones reiterated 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.520 this morning. When asked if the Cowboys have the right 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:31.760 personnel to get that job done quickly, dan Quinn said, absolutely, 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.400 it was quick, it was unequivocal, it was succinct, and 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.680 then he went on to explain why he believes he 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.440 has the right guys to get it done. I don't 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.560 entirely disagree. I think it's just a matter of rotation 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.560 how you're moving the pieces around, and I think once 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.080 the Cowboys figure that out, then yeah, they'll get back 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:52.080 on track. Lastly, that'll b J guy, right, Jerry Jones 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:53.800 this morning, the one oh five point three of him 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:57.919 the fan was asked about Odell Beckham Junior. Obviously ceedee 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.480 lamb is coming off of a massive game one fifty 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.480 yards and three touchdowns, obviously had at least one key 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.680 mistake that led to an interception, but for the most part, 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.240 Jerry said that CD had the best game I've ever 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.120 seen him play. End quote. When asked if that means 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.839 the volume gets turned down a little bit on the 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.760 OBJ front, he was like, no, it absolutely does not. 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.920 He said OBJ is an additive and that's how you 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.600 should continue to look at it, and then he went 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.200 on to express why it's not done yet. You know, 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.880 but I would also say in remind everyone, free agency 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.920 is a two way street, right and OBJ has as 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.440 Iris has so eloquently pointed out all the leverage and 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.360 he has multiple teams at the table. So reports are 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.160 OBJ is looking to make a decision by the end 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:47.000 of this month, Cowboys. If they don't have an offer 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.839 on the table by now, I speculate that they do, 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.719 they will here shortly because the interest is as high 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.520 as it was prior to the loss in Green Bay. Yeah, 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.080 I think. I think I'm right on the same page 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.239 as you. I think they've made an offer at least, 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.040 and we don't have anything specific, or at least I don't. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.440 You may have something specific, but I don't have anything 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.880 specific telling me that they have made an offer. It's 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.320 just that gut feeling that the way that they're talking, 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.080 I feel like there's something out there. I want to 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.280 go back really quickly before we take our first call. 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:23.600 But the cornerback situation, you saw a lot of Kelvin Joseph. 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.320 You saw a lot of dron Bland, two guys in 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.520 the first two seasons in the NFL. Of course, second 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.360 year for Joseph rookie d ron Bland, Isaiah. When you 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.400 went back and watched it, how would you grade their performance? 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.400 I mean, where did it stick out? Because no Jordan Lewis, 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.520 no Anthony Brown, It's Treyvon Diggs in a couple of 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:47.440 youth valiant effort. Okay, the only thing that's wrong with 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.760 valiant effort is it doesn't necessarily mean that you're going 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.280 to be successful. It is that a participation trophy. It's 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.080 a participation trophy. I love Darn Bland. I love his game. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.040 I love what he did through camp. I love what 0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:59.480 he did in the preseason. I love what he did 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.720 when he s in the regular season. In his first 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.240 appearance some weeks back, that was a that was this 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.320 Hello Ricky moment. This past weekend he got Hello Rookie 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:14.480 and it was by another RICKI so speed kills. One 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.200 thing that was common for all those guys this past 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.920 week is they weren't getting their hands on people. I'm 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:21.960 not sure if that's something that Al Harris was teaching 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.760 them as a technique that they were to utilize in 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.520 this particular game. But if that was the fact, then 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:34.400 that wasn't that wasn't it not for this caliber of cornerbacks. 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.199 You know, if you're gonna walk up there and get 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.240 your hands on some guys disrupted, especially when you know 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.080 that the gentleman across from me is faster than you 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.160 make it difficult on them. They just had a rough outing. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.000 I think that they tried hard. I don't think that 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.839 there is any mental errors that I was able to 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.960 find be at a film. But that's me assuming that 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.400 the assignments are what I believe they are. But they 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.360 just didn't get it done. At the end of the day, 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.800 what do you think that it's just youth is growing pains? 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.160 You're going to have that and would I would caution 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.800 anyone trying to sell their stock on durn Bland. I 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.040 think that's wildly premature. He didn't have the best game, 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.240 he didn't have the worst game, but obviously he let 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.599 Christian Watson get behind him. And I'm with IRS on 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.960 the fact that I would have liked to see them 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.760 get Hansy with a guy that's as fast as Watson. 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.520 You don't want to give him a free release because 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.680 then you're really up against his speed and quickness. But 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:31.120 you know, dron Bland not only had he's not just 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.800 been you know that training camp superstar that's not translated over. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.440 I mean, you saw what he did in the Washington 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.480 Commanders game when Jordan Lewis wasn't able to go. He 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.880 ended his first career interception. He was great in coverage, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.440 so I'd say he just had some growing pains. Kelvin Joseph, 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.680 he made progress, he made some strides. This isn't the 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.440 same Kelvin Joseph that might have played and might have 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.800 gotten some snaps last season as a rookie. You've seen 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.480 some development there, so positive signs. And he almost iced 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:02.040 the game with that forced fumble Aaron Jones. Jones recovered it, 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.079 but that lets you know that he's he's taking some strides. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.199 So they're gonna have to take their lumps, and this 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.520 is a part of the growing process, and you you 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.040 hate that it had to come at lambeau Field and 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.480 in a loss, but they gotta gotta take the lumps 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.240 sooner or later, So sooner better than later, especially if 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.800 later is going to beat the playoffs, because you're probably 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.960 going to need well, you're definitely gonna need to Ron 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.160 Bland because Jay Lou's not coming back this season and 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.200 Anthony Brown, you know he's not going to be out 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.480 for the entire season with a concussion, but the absence 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.600 of jay Lou still creates that competition between Kelvin Joseph 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.480 and Sean Wright for snaps going forward. So now you're 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.560 starting to see what this this youth looks like at 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.400 the cornerback position. All right, let's take our first call 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.480 eight eight five, five two two nine seven. It is 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.840 a talking Tuesday. We're gonna take a couple more calls 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.320 than normal this week, and we're gonna start things off 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:58.480 where last night, the Washington Commanders did you a favor. 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.760 I think they did their favor. I guess it's in 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.680 fatable because now now now there's a team coming from 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.600 behind and above you. I know there's debate there. I 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.360 think they did you a favor. You're better than the 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:15.240 Washington Commanders. They beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night football. 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:20.360 Philly no longer is undefeated. They also have a chink 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.080 in their armor, and they're also back to being only 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.640 two games up on the Dallas Cowboys. So I think 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.080 they did you a favor. And out there in Philly 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.520 right now, our guy Troy joins us on talking Cowboys. 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.520 Troy and Philly. What's up my man? Hey man? Yeah, 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.800 this whenever the whenever we have games like last night, 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.480 this is always a great place to be for people 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.599 like me. It makes it much safer for you to 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:51.520 roll in the streets of your hometown. Absolutely, um, hey, man, 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:57.040 every time, um, we lose a game, because I think 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.160 you learned more more about yourself and your mistakes than 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:04.560 you do in victories. But every time I every time 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.200 we lose a game, man, I see the same thing. 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:12.640 I see a team that's just not being smart, um, 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:14.880 And really from top to bottom, I can I can. 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.640 I can just start, and I can just start with 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.679 the you know in the front office that I get 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.800 to work past the trade and trade trade that line. 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:28.040 But like Jerry in the nineties went for it, like 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.400 he went for it and we won Super Bowls. Charles 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:35.680 Helley going to get Deon Sanders whatever, he went for it, 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.240 and that's not happening anymore. We're not winning. Then you 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:42.000 go to the coaches, I mean, I agree with you totally. 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:46.440 Said like Kellen cannot get out of his way with 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.079 this run game he can like he cannot gather of 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:54.280 his way first and goal from the ten after a 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.240 turnover that should have been four runs. They're not gonna 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.440 stop you. You make that game fourteen to nothing with 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.960 five minutes or so left in the second quarter, and 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.480 you force a quarterback with an injured thumb and no 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.080 receivers to throw the ball the rest of the game. 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.440 And just like you said during the pregame, Isiah, I'm 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.200 taking my chances with that in that game, with that player. 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.320 So I don't on the offensive coaching, and it's not 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.680 smart on the defensive side. DQ. I love you, man, 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.800 I love you, but you're having a problem with the 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:33.079 run game and you drafted a big, strong, fast linebacker 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.360 who could possibly help, and he's on the field for 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:40.559 seven snaps. There have to be something done better than that. 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.360 And then, like you guys pointed out yesterday, you have 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:48.280 a rookie receiver who is porching you, porching you, and 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.679 you have a cornerback who is who you're going to 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.120 pay a boatload of money in a couple of years. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.160 Follow this guy, make him, like you said, follow this 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:02.000 guy to the tallet where he goes like it's just 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.360 it's just not smart. Then you get on the field 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:09.319 and you got your your receiver, receiver one who I 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.400 don't think is a number one receiver and I didn't 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.960 think going into the season he was a number one, 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.679 but receiver one in your tight end running the exact 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.280 same route and your quarterback throwing it to him in 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:24.120 the end zone, Like I don't know that's not smart 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.520 to me. Then you got my last thing, then you 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:32.840 got after a byde No less, you run the exact 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.880 same play, make the exact same mistake that you did 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.400 before the bye. When the bye week is supposed to 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.800 be with yourself, scout, make yourself better, know what you are, 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.600 found out who you are, and you make the exact 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.080 same mistake. And I personally think that their explanation was 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.240 as bad as the mistake itself. After a bye to 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.960 say it was miscommunication? Are you kidding me? After a bye? 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:59.000 That's what you guys are saying after a bye. You 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.800 guys are miscommun the King, I guess. I just don't 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.560 understand this team is not smart when it's losing. And 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.600 that's the part that's a problem. Now. They were smart 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:12.120 for the during the during the Cooper Games Cooper Rush games, 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.720 but it's like when that comes back, they go back 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.680 to not being smart again. I just have a problem 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.600 with that. I hang up and listen to you guys. Troy, 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.920 thank you so much for the call. And I mean, 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.960 he had a lot of different areas there, but he 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.840 also gets brownie points because he says he watches pregame live. 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.360 Andy listens to talk to everyday, So Brownie points for 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.600 Troy and Philly. Now I will say, I want to 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:38.000 go back to what he said about traveling Trayvon Diggs 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.720 to the rookie receiver aka Christian Watson, who torched you 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.760 for three touchdowns. You asked Mike McCarthy that yesterday, Yes, 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.760 what did he say? He basically said that the focus 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.240 was to stop the run. That was the focus going in, 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.320 That was the focus during the game, even over the 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.720 course of the game. And the reason they chose not 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.360 to start traveling trevilon with Christian Watson Watson is because 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.160 it would have provided While it would have provided support 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.080 in coverage, it would have done so in the game 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.320 where in their view from a coaching staff, Rogers was 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.920 only throwing it twenty or less times at that point, 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.000 that was the pace of the game. But while he 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.520 was throwing it only twenty times, he McCarthy said that 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.360 he was efficient. He admitted he was. We talked about 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.600 how Christian Watson subscribed to Twitter Blue and bought the 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:27.280 verification checks against the Cowboys on Sunday, but the Cowboys 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.480 just wanted to continue to sell out and hopefully at 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.680 some point stop the hemorrhaging that was happening in the 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.680 run defense, and it just never happened. And in doing so, 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.680 in scheming it that way and keeping it that way 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.600 and trying to figure out how to bottle up Aaron 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.880 Jones and aj Dillon, they just didn't want to take 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:50.000 a defender out of that box and start traveling the guy. 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:54.240 And I see what he's saying, but I stick to 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:58.440 my hill, which is even though Aaron Rodgers only through 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:03.920 twenty times the entirety of his production for the most 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.120 but not the entirety, but the most of his production 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.360 came from this one guy. So if you stop this 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.200 one guy, let the rest figure it out. And that's 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.400 kind of how I felt about it. But put Treyvon 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.359 on this guy and then let the rest of the 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.840 guys figure it out. Yeah, No, really good point. And 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.480 what he was saying yesterday, it didn't really convince me 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.480 on not traveling it as well. I mean, I feel 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.919 like I would have put your the guy who's torching 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.080 you the bones, put your guy on them, make it work. 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.040 It's not like Treyvon Diggs does anything in the run 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:35.080 defense anyway. Well, in what I would say, because Troy 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.200 made an excellent point as well. And this is something 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.320 that I brought up and talking on yesterday. This is 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.480 something I actually asked McCarthy about in the press conference. 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.920 Daman Clark, it's a situation where you could have traveled 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.600 Treyvon Diggs and for that added run support, you could 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.880 have had Demon Clark dropped right in the middle. Demon 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.960 Clark had forty defensive snaps against the Bears, and that 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.440 wasn't planned, but it happened. So he showed you some things. 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.119 But he only had seven defensive snaps coming out of 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.080 the buy on a week where Anthony was out and 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.960 Aaron Jones and AJ Dealing were torching you, and Damon 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.680 Clark has show him from his LSU film He's a 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.720 run stopping line back downhill guy. So asked McCarthy about that, 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:12.199 and he said, well, the plan was never to have 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:16.480 Daman take another forty snaps, which is fair, but not 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.560 a lot of clarity on Howard got all the way 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.240 down to seven. Yeah. So next caller McGee in Mansfield, 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:26.040 first time caller, I here, welcome to talking cowboys. Man. 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.919 I appreciate it. Man. Hey, y'all deve doing this morning, 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.600 doing fantastic. What's on your mind. I mean, so you know, 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.920 normally I'm a big fan of y'all. Now I'll watch 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.320 a lot of the podcasts, but I always heard my 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.879 man out there talking about my dog that and for me, 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.040 I'm a big back fan, been a Cowboys fan since 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.840 I was born and then eighty eighty so, but it 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.200 never he never seems to get criticized like other quarterbacks. 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.359 And I know a lot of people say you're not 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.720 a lead or whatever, but it just bothers my mom 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.240 how people put Justin Herbert as a lead, but he 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.240 ain't been to the playoffs and my dog won a 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:02.040 playoff game with Tayson Gary. Um. I just feel like, 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:03.719 you know, on a bad game and he put up 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:07.480 twenty eight points. I mean, it's just even out the 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.919 playing field. I know the America's team got the biggest 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.640 fan base, but just even out playing Seal sometimes when 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.160 it comes to him. So that's all I got, man, 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:20.080 I please say it's all really really quickly. So you're 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:23.480 asking for more credit for Dak Prescott. That's what you're 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:27.200 that's you're advocating for. Okay, I just wanted to clarify 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.359 to make sure, but thank you so much for the 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:31.840 call McGee. We will talk to you again down the line. 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.880 What are your thoughts, um, I don't I don't believe 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:36.720 that I've ever said that Dak's not a leader, at 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:38.640 least for me personally. Maybe that's what I think he's 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.399 saying in general. I don't think he was talking about Yeah, they, 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:43.240 I don't know who says that. I think that Dak 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.120 is definitely a leader. But I still believe that he's 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.160 a play action quarterback. I still believe that he has 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.320 a long way to go to improve upon his accuracy 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.399 of his throws, to put his receivers in better position 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.840 to be able to get some yack yardage UM. And 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:56.639 that's that's just my thoughts on it. I think his 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.520 velocity is still lacking there behind some some of the 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.960 other backs that you would consider elite in this league. 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.640 And there's just areas of grow. Every quarterback has areas 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:06.240 of grow. Those are just those are some of the 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:08.800 ones that he has to continue to work on. But 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:10.679 there's other things that he does really well. You know, 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.639 Dak Prescott's not the quarterback you want to play against 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.560 when they when he has a solid running game. Toward 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:18.560 the ceiling of Dak Prescott is certainly up there with 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:20.879 the ceiling of some of the other great quarterbacks in 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:24.560 the league. I mean he can be that ceiling now. 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.800 His consistency, on the other hand, that's what's the problem. 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.879 You have drives and you have games where it's just 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.760 on or it's off, and it goes back and forth. 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.000 I mean, he's like a toddler with a light switch. 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.359 Every once in a while. I'm not saying all the 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.080 time that toddler will turn it on and he'll walk away, 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:42.920 but then they'll come back and he'll play around with 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.280 it again. So I mean it happens from time to 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.920 time where that consistency has its ups and it's down. 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:49.960 But you got to take the ups with the downs. 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.119 Everybody's got it down at some point in the NFL. 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.080 I think that's where people get frustrated is whenever they 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:59.080 see more down than there has been up. And so 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.320 far this season, Dak Prescott has Tampa Bay and now 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.640 Green Bay, where he didn't play very good against those 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:09.440 two teams. I would I would argue that, um, well, 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.160 number one, it's not even debatable career wise, he has 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.399 way more upston downs as far as would complete for 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:17.959 the Cowboys and where the Cowboys would be if he 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:21.760 were not under center over the course of the you know, 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:25.520 past seven or eight years, um, and I would say 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.520 that the downs are not all equal. Right, So when 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:30.480 you and you make a great point about Tampa Bay 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.600 versus Green Bay, he absolutely crapped a bid in week 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.359 one Tampa Bay that that there was no he just 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.280 hates base Maybe that's what it is. Just doesn't like 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:44.440 Tampa Bay or Green Bay. That's it Bay. I wonder 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:48.600 how it feels about Old Bay. Old Bay. Is that 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:54.119 in Baltimore? Maybe? Um, but no, I mean it's two different, 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:58.280 two different um types of bad so to speak. Tampa 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:00.440 Bay he completely like craped the bed. I think he'd 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:02.480 be willing to admit that as well. Sure he didn't 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.239 crap the bed against Green Bay. His two mistakes, they 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:09.679 were miscommunications. And I think and I agree with McGee 0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:13.040 and Troy and the fact that coming out of a 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:16.359 bye week you shouldn't still be having those miscommunications. You 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.639 could also argue that again, you know, how many games 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:23.240 back is he right? He's not five or six games back. 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:24.600 They still got to kind of feel it out a 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:27.400 little bit. And this is not me excusing that away 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.000 because it should not happen. That it just it should 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:34.959 not happen. Right, But not all bad is considered awful, 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:37.880 not all good is considered equal. Deck still has more 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:40.240 good than bad. And to me, he's still an elite quarterback, 0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:45.719 not interstellar. We're going back to it. I'm we're going 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:47.480 to quick. I'm gonna keep twisting that knife for the 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:51.679 don't understand the same. That's okay, all right, let's take 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:53.760 our first break.

Let's go to our third call of 0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:48.520 the day. Irwin in Denver. You're on Talking Cowboys. How's 0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:51.000 it going good? Good morning guys. How are you guys 0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:54.359 doing well? Fantastic? How are you great? Hey? So, I 0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:59.159 have like a kind of a serious question based on 0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:01.280 what we all watched in the fourth quarter of the 0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:04.119 Cowboys were up fourteen points and we were running the 0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:07.560 ball really good. Do you guys think that Kellen Moore 0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:11.240 is going to get Mike McCarthy fired because he just 0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:17.000 refuses to play, you know, bullyball with the run game 0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:22.840 that we have. And why isn't McCarthy just insisting that 0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:26.439 they play this kind of playoffs kind of football in 0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:30.359 these kind of game and I'll just love the show? Thanks, 0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:34.040 thanks so much. Ye good question. Who wants to start 0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:35.359 on that one? I feel like both of you would 0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:38.040 have good insight on how that works. I don't see 0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:43.080 him getting McCarthy fired unless McCarthy doesn't make the playoffs. Sure, 0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:45.520 but with the decision making in the way that that 0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:47.800 thing kind of trickles down if in terms of the 0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:52.680 play calling, if they continue on this course of not 0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:56.320 sticking to the run when it's being very successful, and 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.399 that leads you to not getting to the playoffs. That 0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:02.159 will put him in a bad situation. Aside from that, 0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:05.720 I can't see it. Yeah, I'll pig you back on 0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:09.199 that just a little bit and say that for the 0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:12.600 bad that you're seeing the miscommunications, you've also seen the 0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:15.479 Cowboys now figure out how to score the football right 0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:18.160 in twenty twenty two, So a lot of progress being 0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:21.040 made there. Kelle Moore just needs to be more consistent 0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:24.240 with sticking with the run. But I've also now seen 0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:28.159 in twenty twenty two McCarthy being willing to put his 0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:32.120 hand down and say hey, hey, stop getting away from 0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:34.120 what's working. I believe that that's going to happen again 0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:38.200 this week. Kind of a recalibration, if you will, to say, hey, 0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:41.000 you did it again. You saw what happened again, So 0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:44.560 let's keep it going forward. And because McCarthy is being 0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:48.360 more influential in making sure Kellen Moore makes smarter decisions 0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:51.480 going forward, I don't think that even ultimately if the 0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:55.280 Cowboys falter, don't make the playoffs and or make the playoff, 0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:56.960 or should say not and or but or make the 0:27:57.000 --> 0:28:00.000 playoffs and falter there, and it ends up costing McCart 0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:01.879 his job. I don't know that I could lay that 0:28:01.920 --> 0:28:05.320 on the lap of Kellen Moore, because McCarthy has invoked 0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:09.080 his influence in the play calling, not by by calling 0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:11.120 the plays, but by making sure that you know, more 0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:12.960 often than not, the right players are being called in 0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:16.800 the right situation. I think it would just be a 0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:20.560 totality of things that didn't go well when things should 0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:23.240 have gone well. Again, it's a team coming off a 0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:25.800 twelve and five season. I predicted them to go twelve 0:28:25.840 --> 0:28:27.879 and five this year. If they in fact keep to that, 0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:31.040 get to the playoffs, don't make a long run, then 0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:34.080 it's not all on Kellen Moore. It's just a totality 0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:37.520 of what was not accomplished since McCarthy had come in. So, yeah, 0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:39.160 wouldn't drop it all on Kellen Moore's lap, And I 0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:41.280 wouldn't drop on Dan Quinn's lap. And I say that 0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:43.280 to preface what I'm about to say. Now, if the 0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:47.080 run defense cast you again in the playoffs, you could 0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:50.040 argue that it would be more on Quinn than more. 0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:53.560 But then that becomes a whole nother debate because it's 0:28:53.560 --> 0:28:56.200 the past rush that got you probably got you to 0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:58.680 the playoffs in the first place, so it being a 0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:03.200 very layered comversation to kind of to back in both 0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:06.880 of your points. For you, it would take a monumental 0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:10.360 collapse for that to even be a possibility, of the 0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:12.880 firing of Mike McCarthy for that to even be a thing, 0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:14.760 because you would have to not make the playoffs, and 0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:16.440 of course if you're not going to bank the playoffs, 0:29:17.160 --> 0:29:20.080 thus there would be a monumental collapse on your end. 0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:22.680 You're saying it wouldn't happen because by the time a 0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:25.800 monumental collapse would already have gotten there, you will have 0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:29.680 already had Mike McCarthy come down and say something by 0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:32.160 that point. And it's already happened at several points thus 0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:33.640 far this season, and again I think it's going to 0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:37.440 happen again this week in practice. Coming out of the 0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:40.520 Green Bay game, you're up fourteen points and you end 0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:45.360 the game with a lot of would not balanced pass 0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:48.240 versus rush, So you really should have been hamming it. 0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:51.480 And maybe even though Tony Pollard had had a really 0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:54.080 good game and Malie Davis tried to get some contribution 0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:56.440 there as well, I still think this is where you 0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:59.680 missed Ezekiel Elliott, his running style. You missed him being 0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:01.720 able to punish those guys up front when you were 0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:05.640 up fourteen points. So yeah, that's a really good point. 0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:08.479 We didn't get to hit yesterday. But the fact that 0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:10.600 you can salt away a game with a guy like 0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:15.080 Ezekiel Elliott is a very underrated quality of his game. 0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:17.080 And I felt like this was, like you just said, 0:30:17.080 --> 0:30:20.280 a good opportunity for that to happen. Let's go to 0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:23.840 Philippe in La out there on the West coast in 0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:27.520 Los Angeles, Philipe, how's it going good? How are you 0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:32.640 guys joining fantastic? How are you good? I wanted to 0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:35.600 talk about mainly why aren't we talking more about our 0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:38.920 defensive line. I feel like we're able to clearly put 0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:41.640 up points, but if we're not able to stop the run, 0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:44.960 especially going forward, and it's shown especially in the playoffs. 0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:48.240 I mean, it doesn't matter how many points we score, 0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:50.120 people are always going to keep it closed, especially with 0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:52.640 the run. And I know Jesse's talked a lot about 0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:56.120 it is bringing in Sun. I think that's I forget 0:30:56.120 --> 0:30:59.160 how to pronounce his first name, but to help with 0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:01.480 a defense of looks like the stopping the run. Yam, 0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:02.720 I think that's huge and it is going to be 0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:07.000 our acquies. Heel. Philippe, thanks so much for your call. 0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:10.080 Appreciate it. And I mean there's a couple of options 0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:13.440 out there. I thought, at least whenever I was watching 0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:16.600 back the tape, the interior of the defensive line was 0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:19.680 very disappointing. He called me Jesse. No, he was saying, 0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:23.200 Jesse was talking about it on Hanging with the boys. 0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:26.840 Have you mentioned awesome Wa at any point down the line? 0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:30.400 Is that who you're talking about? Oh? I thought he 0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:32.480 said awesome Wa? He was? He was? He was? He 0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:34.680 talking about the thomasin Sue. Have you brought it? Have 0:31:34.760 --> 0:31:36.240 you said it? Then? Though he may have called you, 0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:40.560 Jesse was given him a I was giving him the 0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:44.240 benefit of the down back beamer. Philippe, get back on 0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:47.400 the line. Uh, what were your thoughts on now? Well, 0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:50.360 my thing is the interior of the defensive line for 0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:54.240 the Cowboys, um, particularly with Hankins there. I think it's 0:31:54.640 --> 0:31:57.360 I think it's solid and improved with Hankins there. But 0:31:57.480 --> 0:32:01.600 here's and give Craig to the floor in the Rogers 0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:04.040 and the Rogers and Rodgers as well. But to the 0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:06.480 I call it the Packers to Rogers, not that I'm 0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:09.440 wrong in doing so now, but give credit to their 0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:14.160 offensive coaching staff because they scheme this to perfection. I 0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:18.160 was charting the first drive on yesterday. Shovel pass left 0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:21.760 to Aaron Jones. Right, shovel passed right to Aaron Jones. 0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:24.840 Follow what's going on here? Shovel pass left to Aaron Jones. 0:32:24.880 --> 0:32:28.000 That's three edge runs, you know, alternating right. So that's 0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:31.120 setting of the Cowboys interior defensive line up. It's basically 0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:33.880 saying we're gonna stretch you out and force you to 0:32:33.920 --> 0:32:36.560 think and cover it laterally. Those are the first three plays. 0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:41.800 Fourth play direct handoff to AJ Dillon. Fifth play, direct 0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:43.880 handoff to AJ Dillon. These were eight That was an 0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:46.840 A gap in the B gap run Play number six 0:32:46.920 --> 0:32:50.640 direct handoff to AJ Dillon a gap. So to this point, 0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:54.320 these are all single back sets. Play number seven was 0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:56.120 the first play they did a two running back set. 0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:59.840 So I'll compress it and say this, stretch the left edge, 0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:03.040 stretch the right edge, stretch the left edge. Now you 0:33:03.080 --> 0:33:06.600 get the interior defensive line thinking laterally you go a gap, 0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:09.080 B gap, A gap and then on play number six. 0:33:09.080 --> 0:33:12.120 You put both running backs back there to really confuse them. 0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:16.160 So it was more scheme, But it goes back to 0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:19.920 the crux of the problem for the Cowboys defense run defense. 0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:23.800 It's not the interior, it's the edges. If they can't 0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:27.240 contain and seal those edges off, it's going to provide 0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:29.239 it's going to create another stress point, which is the 0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:32.600 interior of the defensive line. Tell your linebackers to help 0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:35.840 seal those edges, and I guarantee you will see improved 0:33:35.840 --> 0:33:38.959 play from that interior line looking at the interior on 0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:42.160 those plays specifically, I had this written them in my 0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:45.560 film notes. I said, interior getting bullied on the first 0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:48.080 seven plays of the game. That's kind of what I said, 0:33:48.120 --> 0:33:50.960 because they did. They went inside after going in, stretching 0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:53.160 it outside, then they went right back into it. And 0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:54.720 I think at that point, like you said, it was 0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.680 op balanced. Nobody had their footing and the scheme worked 0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:01.400 against the Cowboys. However, have a question, and this is 0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:05.720 probably more for Isaiah, but with the way that dan 0:34:05.840 --> 0:34:10.080 Quinn runs stunts quite often, I mean there were times 0:34:10.080 --> 0:34:13.040 where there was miscommunication. It was a late step. They 0:34:13.040 --> 0:34:15.080 were running into each other, they were trying to twist 0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:17.120 out of it. They were doing different things and it 0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:21.600 was all convoluted on the line of scrimmage at some 0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:23.960 point is if you're not able to get home on 0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:26.600 your stunt, how much does that put you behind the 0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:29.560 eight ball against the run? Quite a bit? Right, Yeah, 0:34:29.560 --> 0:34:31.440 I mean because you're off balance. So you're off balance, 0:34:31.440 --> 0:34:33.440 you're getting out of your gap. You're you're expecting somebody 0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:36.399 else to feel that that void that you're leaving to 0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:39.560 touch base on this outside run thing, right, And you're 0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:41.480 absolutely correct. They were stretching you outside that they can 0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:44.920 hit you up tomato? Right, How do you stop outside 0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:49.239 runts set the edge? Not always? Okay, what's the other way? 0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:51.920 Not always? There was plenty of times where Michael Parsons 0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:53.640 had the edge, but guess what, it's a three hundred 0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:56.600 and thirty pound doo that's pulling and get kicking you out. Yeah, 0:34:56.760 --> 0:34:58.080 so you can have the edge all you want to. 0:34:58.600 --> 0:35:00.480 When that dude decides that he wants to four, you're 0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:05.040 you're gonna move out to absolutely right. So that's that's containment, 0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:07.760 that's having the edge, that's that's keeping it all inside. 0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:09.640 But what happens is you got of alignment coming out 0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:11.760 and kicking you out. You want to be outside, cool, 0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:15.120 stay outside, We'll kick you out. So there's a misconception 0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:17.640 on how easy it is to stop runs. The difference 0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:19.719 is how do you stop those type of outside runs 0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:22.880 and really just constrict everything to the middle of your defense. Well, 0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:26.319 your secondary support, your secondary run support has to come 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:27.880 into it. I know there's a lot of conversations right 0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:29.719 now going on with the linebackers in the front seven 0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:32.759 and this defensive line. This the defensive backs of the 0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:35.360 Dallas Cowboys have to be more of a force in 0:35:35.360 --> 0:35:38.680 the running game that I'm calling it. How I see it, 0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:42.560 if you have second secondary of cornerbacks, and you have 0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:45.279 safeties that are coming down and hitting and wrapping up, 0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:48.759 hitting and wrapping up because Donald came down a couple 0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:50.759 of times and hit and got moved back by two 0:35:50.840 --> 0:35:53.799 hundred and forty five pound running back. Hit and wrap up. 0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:56.359 Shoot the knees like we saw in Detroit. Get these guys, 0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:59.239 chop them down like some dog on some trees. All 0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:01.719 of a sudden, team stop running like that all of 0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:03.480 a sudden. Shootly, yeah, let's not go up to air. 0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:04.919 Just try to go to sting straight up the middle 0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:07.399 because of the easiest point from point A to point 0:36:07.400 --> 0:36:09.320 B is what straight line, So I'm gonna go straight. 0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:13.360 The secondary needs to take responsibility for the lack of 0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:17.360 run support. It would help this defense out tremendously. Some 0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:20.040 of the best rush defenses have great corners that are 0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:24.480 willing to come up and hit. I don't disagree. I 0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:26.960 just simply put it more on the linebackers. And it's 0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:30.120 weird for me to say this next statement because I 0:36:30.120 --> 0:36:33.440 didn't think he could do any wrong. But everybody has 0:36:33.440 --> 0:36:36.560 a bad day. And though Michael Parsons tied for the 0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:39.560 team high with tackles, he has seven. I believe. In 0:36:39.680 --> 0:36:41.560 charting the film, there were a couple of times and 0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:44.879 the second play from scrimmage for the Packers is one 0:36:45.080 --> 0:36:48.320 I'll point out. It was a shovel right to Aaron Jones. 0:36:49.080 --> 0:36:52.319 That was parsons assignment. Everybody else had was engaged right. 0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:55.080 Parsons had clean I called it cleaner. He had clean air. 0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:58.400 But he took the inside shoulder angle and that kept 0:36:58.400 --> 0:37:01.080 that freed up the outside. So all Aaron Jones did 0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:04.200 was hit the turbo button and take that outside shoulder, 0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:06.520 and that should have been a two yard tackle for 0:37:06.600 --> 0:37:08.879 a loss, but it turned into a four yard game. 0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:13.040 Maybe if Parsons does make that play, maybe it early 0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:17.200 in the game, mix Rogers and lafleur rethink their attack 0:37:17.239 --> 0:37:19.120 to Russian and they say, you know what, maybe this 0:37:19.200 --> 0:37:21.560 drive needs to turn into more of a you know, 0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:23.560 a West coast and go in that way. And that 0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:25.440 would have played kind of into the Cowboys hands. But 0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:27.680 it's one of those situations you're not going to see 0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:30.319 many mistakes from Michael Parson's that was one. But if 0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:32.680 the Cowboys linebackers, which goes to my point, if the 0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:35.600 Cowboys linebackers, whomever that might be, and I do want 0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:37.759 to see some more demon Clark, if they can help 0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:40.080 set those edges, if they can make sure that they 0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:42.279 take the appropriate angle when it's your guy, it's one 0:37:42.320 --> 0:37:44.160 on one in space, you have to make that tackle 0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:46.440 behind the line of scrimmage. That will help change the 0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:49.960 entire tone of how offenses are approaching you. Yeah, it 0:37:50.040 --> 0:37:52.960 could definitely change some things. Now, well, when we come back, 0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:56.160 you're on talking. Cowboys will take one more call and 0:37:56.160 --> 0:37:57.719 then we're gonna get out of here. We're gonna turn 0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:00.719 the page left of the Eagles First, that too after 0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:02.320 the call. Would you like to laugh at the Eagles? 0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:10.239 That makes you feel better? Did we clip that laugh 0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:14.680 sound that you've been holding that table for the entire 0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:17.000 dinner and you get to go up and walk outside. 0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:21.439 That that's a Kawhi Leonard laugh in the corner from 0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:25.240 Patrick was good. I did say they were going to stumble. 0:38:25.280 --> 0:38:27.719 I kept I kept saying it. There's one and here's one. 0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:31.680 Check there's a crack in the armor. Technically the cowboys stone. Yeah, 0:38:31.760 --> 0:38:36.799 that's fair, but cowboys had a missed opportunity. But the 0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:39.840 fact that the Commanders were able to march into the 0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:44.000 link and defeat the undefeated Eagles with Taylor Heineke and 0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:47.920 you saw Darius Slade got just that Slade by McLaurin, 0:38:47.960 --> 0:38:51.279 who is basically the son of Trevon Diggs. It just 0:38:51.360 --> 0:38:55.200 goes to my overarching point in that December is going 0:38:55.280 --> 0:38:59.040 to tell all. It's going to tell all. Not not afraid. 0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:04.480 They're missing your boy, missing Jordan da you know, in 0:39:04.480 --> 0:39:07.160 a bad way. Yeah, you know, all right, let's take 0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:08.759 our break. When we come back, we'll get to you 0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:11.479 a branded in Las Vegas. Hold on just for a moment. 0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:14.960 We'll be right back with more talking cowboys.

I could get in 0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:24.440 a lot of trouble for that. All right, let's get 0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:28.560 take the call. Brandon and Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas. 0:42:28.560 --> 0:42:36.400 You're on Talking Cowboys Vegas. Brandon. You there, m Brandon, 0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:42.600 can you hear me now?

I heard the 0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:59.279 young man said the sup thing. Um. I called in 0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:02.399 the show because I do the late shows now and talked. 0:43:02.440 --> 0:43:06.600 I was well and Nick and that mentioned in Dominican Sue, 0:43:06.760 --> 0:43:08.880 and I said, I didn't want anybody in trade. I 0:43:08.920 --> 0:43:11.560 wanted to free agents Sue and obj Am. I right, 0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:15.400 remember right out there you with me on Sue. But 0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:18.279 it was like the OBJJ don't know pretty much on that. 0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:22.120 The reason I wanted Sue because Sue, when he supplies 0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:25.640 and range to the run defense, like you were saying, Patrick, 0:43:25.760 --> 0:43:30.640 they may run on the outside, but soon the way 0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:33.320 that Sue plays and the and the things that he command, 0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:36.239 nobody's gonna play around with Sue. And we need that. 0:43:36.280 --> 0:43:38.200 We need a leader. We don't have a leader on defense. 0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:41.120 The launch. Thank you the leader to go where he 0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:44.600 represents leadership, but he's not a leader, and Sue would 0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:47.759 have brought that you need right now on this team. Discipline. 0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:50.360 What on the offensive side, on the of the side 0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:53.680 you needed for the coaches like Keller Moore who's scared 0:43:53.760 --> 0:43:56.640 like like the commander shows you how to play last 0:43:56.719 --> 0:43:59.000 night and how to beat a team like that, how 0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:01.279 to stick to the The guy has twenty four honds 0:44:01.320 --> 0:44:04.439 for one and sixteen for the others running back. Are 0:44:04.440 --> 0:44:07.880 you serious that guy gets away from things because he 0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:11.000 gets happy and he thinks he just lost the league 0:44:11.040 --> 0:44:13.680 and wants to be pass happy. You need to You 0:44:13.719 --> 0:44:15.560 need to discipline on that side, and you need to 0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:18.680 discipline on defense with the penalties, and you stop the 0:44:18.719 --> 0:44:20.560 one game and you can fix a lot of palms 0:44:20.560 --> 0:44:22.640 with the Cowboys. So I just wanted to say that, 0:44:22.760 --> 0:44:25.520 thank you for your time. Thank you very much, Anthony 0:44:26.120 --> 0:44:28.640 Isaiah Thoughts. I didn't know you were so big on 0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:31.759 the Ncdomiican Sue bandwagon. I didn't realize. We talked about 0:44:31.800 --> 0:44:37.560 it last week because sorry, he has attitude. He has attitude. 0:44:37.600 --> 0:44:39.520 You have talent on the defensive front. You don't have 0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:42.239 any attitude on the defensive front, not in the form 0:44:42.239 --> 0:44:44.560 of the interior. I think you have guys that are 0:44:44.640 --> 0:44:48.239 that are exerting really good effort. I think you have 0:44:48.280 --> 0:44:51.200 guys that are successful at times. But when you think 0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:56.480 about when you think about interior defensive alignment, and this 0:44:56.640 --> 0:45:00.680 is no shot at anybody on this roster. You the 0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:02.680 teams that you don't run up the middle owner teams 0:45:02.680 --> 0:45:05.880 have got some goons and goon doesn't just it's not 0:45:05.920 --> 0:45:08.680 a reference that just utilize on your talent and how 0:45:08.680 --> 0:45:11.080 effective you are. A goon is utilized when somebody got 0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:13.440 attitude and it's just a cat. You just don't want 0:45:13.440 --> 0:45:17.279 to mess with it. And I think that so he 0:45:17.400 --> 0:45:19.680 brings that. I don't know if he still got it 0:45:19.719 --> 0:45:21.879 in terms of a player, I mean, I don't know, 0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:25.279 but I know that he the attitude remains right. And 0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:27.040 if you could bring that to the room and teach 0:45:27.120 --> 0:45:29.319 them casts to have that edge to him and get 0:45:29.360 --> 0:45:32.560 that little nastiness, then that talent that they have it 0:45:32.600 --> 0:45:35.120 could be utilized the proper way. I don't disagree with 0:45:35.120 --> 0:45:38.440 the attitude part of it. He clearly has that. Um. 0:45:38.480 --> 0:45:41.400 I mean, there's there's levels to this. So they are 0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:44.359 dogs like I look at like Qubo is a dog, 0:45:44.440 --> 0:45:47.719 for example, to see an interstellar dog or an elite dog. 0:45:49.120 --> 0:45:56.880 Stop stop this man. That one got Patrick, that was 0:45:56.880 --> 0:45:59.200 a good when you got me there. Um, but but 0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:02.280 Sue isn't fat. I mean he's a gool. And now 0:46:02.480 --> 0:46:04.520 the problem is is that can come back to bite 0:46:04.520 --> 0:46:07.239 you in the form of guess what penalties. Every once 0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:08.600 in a while, you know you might see him out 0:46:08.600 --> 0:46:11.160 there stepping on guys U and I do mean literally 0:46:13.239 --> 0:46:17.680 it's been some years that said, Um, I just wonder 0:46:18.360 --> 0:46:21.080 why is he still a free agent if he does 0:46:21.080 --> 0:46:23.719 in fact have Because you make a great point attitude, 0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:26.480 the attitude you would love to have, the nastiness right 0:46:26.520 --> 0:46:29.000 and kind of instilling some fear into the heart of 0:46:29.080 --> 0:46:34.320 opposing offenses. But the alternate point that is equally as 0:46:34.360 --> 0:46:40.160 as uh as obvious is he's still a free agent 0:46:40.239 --> 0:46:42.840 and they're thirty two NFL teams, thirty one outside of 0:46:42.880 --> 0:46:46.759 this building, and nobody he has picked. There's a choice, man, 0:46:46.760 --> 0:46:49.040 when you get to that age, you don't I mean, 0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:52.640 I know it's choice. You wait to say having a season. 0:46:52.640 --> 0:46:54.880 I don't think he's gonna be at home for much longer. Yeah, 0:46:54.960 --> 0:46:56.759 here's there's a lot, there's there's two teams that just 0:46:56.800 --> 0:46:59.360 lost Devin's alignement. Could you agree that he doesn't have 0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:03.480 as many suits, says OBJ, of course, right, So yeah, well, Obj, 0:47:03.680 --> 0:47:05.800 you have a clear reason why he's not on the roster, 0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:07.320 and it was the injury he would have been on 0:47:07.360 --> 0:47:10.920 a training point. That's my point point, And that's to 0:47:11.000 --> 0:47:15.120 my point you Dominican Sue doesn't have an injury situation 0:47:15.160 --> 0:47:17.399 that's keeping him off of an NFL roster. So could 0:47:17.400 --> 0:47:22.759 it be that his play is he declined? Could that's 0:47:22.800 --> 0:47:25.080 a chance, it's a chance to what I think it is. 0:47:25.160 --> 0:47:27.799 I think that he's an older player. Yeah. And if 0:47:27.840 --> 0:47:29.520 I'm gonna get out there and get my body beat up, 0:47:29.520 --> 0:47:32.279 I'm gonna do it for an opportunity to win a ring. Yeah. 0:47:32.440 --> 0:47:34.239 And I can't tell who's gonna have my opportunity to 0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:38.160 win a ring into the second half of the season. Yeah. Right, 0:47:38.560 --> 0:47:40.520 So you got you got teams like Miami loss of 0:47:40.600 --> 0:47:43.120 D Lyneman, you got the Chargers loss of D Lineman. 0:47:43.600 --> 0:47:46.600 Dallas needs an a front right needs and needs an 0:47:46.600 --> 0:47:50.360 impact player in the insight, So now you can see, okay, okay, okay, 0:47:50.400 --> 0:47:52.680 it's kind of it's kind of panning itself out. Okay, 0:47:52.680 --> 0:47:54.719 these teams look like their competitors. Now let me go 0:47:54.760 --> 0:47:56.680 see who I want to go to. I just feel 0:47:56.680 --> 0:48:01.439 like Tampa although they have the interrastiller talent so vida vea, 0:48:01.680 --> 0:48:03.640 they still could have used in Dominican sue. Oh. When 0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:06.440 they were together, they were nast right. And the fact 0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:10.280 that they saw that tandem being nest and then said 0:48:10.880 --> 0:48:13.880 this offseason said you know what, we'll pass on you. 0:48:13.920 --> 0:48:18.360 We're good on you. Yeah, M gives you pause. Correct, Okay, 0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:21.720 something's there, which makes it makes sense on the pause, 0:48:21.760 --> 0:48:23.560 but it also makes sense of reasoning. It's almost like 0:48:23.600 --> 0:48:25.880 bringing in a Jason Peters in an Anthony Bar. These 0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:29.120 veteran guys that are are not in their prime. They 0:48:29.160 --> 0:48:32.880 were great names in their hanks Hankins, I mean Hankins 0:48:32.920 --> 0:48:34.920 even closer. I guess he was never really that high 0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:37.359 level player that a bar in a sue fair enough, 0:48:37.440 --> 0:48:41.520 and uh Peters at one point was. But this is 0:48:41.560 --> 0:48:43.840 the same kind of deal as maybe try and beef 0:48:43.880 --> 0:48:45.440 something up in the middle with a guy that you 0:48:45.560 --> 0:48:48.359 know is going to bring that veteran attitude and helping out. 0:48:48.360 --> 0:48:53.080 What if it's the situation where, um, what if this 0:48:53.160 --> 0:48:57.160 is just me spacially? What if the Cowboys might have 0:48:57.200 --> 0:48:59.360 some interest in adding Sue? And this is something for 0:48:59.600 --> 0:49:01.880 the lists and the viewers to kind of swirl around 0:49:01.880 --> 0:49:03.759 in their head after the show. But if there might 0:49:03.800 --> 0:49:06.279 be some interest in Sue. But before the Cowboys go 0:49:06.320 --> 0:49:08.880 and do that, they see where things land with OBJ. 0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:12.120 And if OBJ land's here, what are those numbers look like? 0:49:12.160 --> 0:49:15.839 Salary cap wise a CIA, because that's that's the pink 0:49:15.880 --> 0:49:17.840 elephant in the room. Like, you want to make sure 0:49:18.239 --> 0:49:20.920 that you're not in a situation where you're going to 0:49:21.000 --> 0:49:24.319 get sued, maybe slightly overpaid. It will him away from 0:49:24.360 --> 0:49:27.920 someone else, and that forces you to put less money 0:49:28.000 --> 0:49:31.400 on the table for OBJ. I'd rather go for the 0:49:31.400 --> 0:49:34.600 OBJ first. If you don't get that, then you get sued, 0:49:34.760 --> 0:49:36.640 or maybe you it's a situation where you end up 0:49:36.640 --> 0:49:38.480 with the win winning, which is obviously what everybody wants. 0:49:38.520 --> 0:49:41.560 I don't think you get OBJ. You get OBJ on 0:49:41.600 --> 0:49:43.919 like a two year deal that gives you some more 0:49:44.000 --> 0:49:46.120 room to double back and go and get sued because 0:49:46.120 --> 0:49:48.000 the money's on the table. But eight games, you know, 0:49:48.520 --> 0:49:50.960 don't a lot of timeline, a lot of time left 0:49:51.000 --> 0:49:53.200 I'm just saying, don't I'm just saying, don't ruin the 0:49:53.200 --> 0:49:55.520 turkey because you're focused on the corn bread that two 0:49:55.520 --> 0:49:58.520 turkeys at the same time. We have so many metaphors 0:49:58.560 --> 0:50:02.120 on this show, so many, so many metaphors and similes. 0:50:02.160 --> 0:50:06.680 This is our son, I mean, yeah, that's it for 0:50:06.800 --> 0:50:09.120 us here on Talking Cowboys. Hope you had a great 0:50:09.200 --> 0:50:11.560 time with us. Were over the last forty five minutes. 0:50:11.920 --> 0:50:14.520 This is it, gentlemen. We're putting Green Bay behind us. Okay, 0:50:14.600 --> 0:50:17.879 we're turning the page. We're going tomorrow to break down 0:50:17.920 --> 0:50:21.120 the Dallas defense versus the Minnesota offense. If you want 0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:26.880 a high volume, high profile, high intensity matchup, we'll buckle 0:50:27.000 --> 0:50:30.239 up because we're previewing it tomorrow because Minnesota and that 0:50:30.320 --> 0:50:32.320 offense is coming. By the way, we are going to 0:50:32.360 --> 0:50:34.759 start a little bit earlier. Just nine o'clock is when 0:50:34.760 --> 0:50:37.600 we will get underway, so we're even We're even gonna 0:50:37.640 --> 0:50:40.040 do it a little earlier because we're that amped about 0:50:40.040 --> 0:50:43.480 this matchup Dallas defense Minnesota offense.
