WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Run Down 0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:07.320 The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:15.360 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is nick 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.560 Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:24.840 official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:34.000 and Nicky Spagnola. Well, there's no song on Monday, right, 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:38.920 I do not walk through here. It's not a victory Monday. 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:44.400 It is a cold, rainy, depressing Monday for the Dallas 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:49.280 Cowboys after thirty one twenty eight lost to the Green 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:54.920 Bay Packers at once again, strange things happen at lambeau 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.400 Field when this team goes there to play. We allowed 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.040 it to happen. We were strange and not only did 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:05.360 the Cowboys let one get away, we lost Bill Jones 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:11.080 also man in the interim with Bill's Bill's uh, he's 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.520 being looked at by the trainers. The trainers got him. Yeah. 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.920 You know, when you're a professional broadcaster, you can't have 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.520 anything wrong with your voice. I put him on the 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.080 publist or something. But you might have had the tweet 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.080 of the day yesterday after the game when Bill said 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:31.640 he was sick and you tweeted out what did I say? Um? 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:36.119 You tweeted out said, damn, I've heard of a game 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:40.760 making you sick. But and I just left it. And 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.840 that game made a lot of people sick that follow 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:49.280 the Dallas Cowboys. And so we'll carry on here, uh 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:54.880 in the SWBC podcast studio with myself and Everson the 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.400 best we can. And I would imagine at some point, 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.840 U Nate, if the weather does and hold him up, 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.400 we'll poke his head in. We can't get rid of him. 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.880 And now we don't. Yeah, yeah, now where's Nate? Right? 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.600 But anyway, we got so much to talk about, so 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:15.480 let's start here. Just give me your general observation of 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:20.440 this loss. That boy they let one get away. You know, 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.600 what I saw was what happens when you have a 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:29.880 quarterback that is not in tune with his wide receivers 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:35.280 and how delicate a passing game can be. We talked 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:39.040 about it with Rodgers, how he has you know, we 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.080 don't know where to blame the quarterback or the receivers. 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.079 With Aaron Rodgers, they talked about the fact that Watson's 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.639 dropping all these passes and that's the reason that the 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.639 Aaron Rodgers is having this kind of year that these have. 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.480 And then all of a sudden, it bleeds over into 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.400 so many other things it can. It's like a domino effect. 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.720 You start off with the problem there and it just 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.680 bleeds his way all the way down. Coupled with the 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:08.560 fact that what we talked about last week our inability 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.840 to stop the run. You can have the greatest quarterback 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.000 in the world. You and your wide receiver can mess 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.080 up as many times as they want to, but you've 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.400 got a defense that's going to right the ship. That's 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.600 how teams win games, that's how championships are one one 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.720 one player or one fast of the game takes up 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.960 for the other or uplifts the other team. And right 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.240 now we've got we're juggling on who we're gonna do, 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.960 who we're gonna depend on, what what? What's fast of 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.320 our game? Are we going to play too? Are we 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.600 going to play to our defense, Are we going to 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.880 play to our running game? Are we going to play 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.160 to our play action passes? We've got to figure out 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.560 which one's gonna work. Because you look at all of 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.839 those games yesterday, and I watched almost all of them, 0:03:56.040 --> 0:04:01.520 there is no perfect remedy for any team at this point. 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:06.560 You saw Buffalo blow it you saw Minnesota try to 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:11.080 blow it, but they couldn't do it. Buffalo kept giving 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.720 it back to him. I was so bad they took 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.400 it off the air. It was crazy. So when you 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.560 start talking about how dynamic these games were, first of all, 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:22.000 it was very exciting, of course for the Cowboys, very frustrating. 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.160 But what you also saw was, man, this is just 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.000 this is the NFL, you know. And when this all said, 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:29.960 I don't care what you look like right now. I 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.120 said it last week week before that this season is 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.080 going to have so many twists interns that it's gonna 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.960 make your head spin. Well, and there's a lot of 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:44.880 heads spinning all over the league, especially here. And I 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.440 think Everson hit the nail right on the head that 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.880 if you couldnot play the run any better than what 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.760 they've been playing here for the last couple of games, 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:01.000 three four games, it compromises everything help you try to do. 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.359 And we talked about it, and okay, maybe the Bears 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.560 was one of those things. You know, they had a 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:12.760 quarterback that ran the ball ourself. And then do you 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:17.080 come in against the Packers team having lost five straight, 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:22.480 having a three and six record, they're hanging on by 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:29.120 tooth and nail right and and and I thought the 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.719 the key thing, and one of the coaches said this 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.120 before the game to me, that we just got a 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.800 start fast, put them away and don't let them hang 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.200 around and think, oh, we can do this. And sure 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.800 enough they did it. But the big thing the Packers 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:50.960 ran for two hundred and seven yards two hundred seven 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:58.320 yards and seeing what happens is that their their secondary 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:03.680 got compromised right away when they lost Anthony Brown to 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:08.240 a concussion on the fifty eight yard touchdown pass that 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:13.360 Rogers through the of all people, Watson, the same guy. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.839 I believe that was the last word we said when 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.240 we left here on Friday, is that Watson couldn't catch. 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.080 We debated why the Cowboys or any other team didn't 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.680 draft him higher, and it was because he dropped the ball, 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.080 and he had a couple drops early in the game, right, 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.839 and then that happens, and it you know, and it 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:39.760 was a perfect pass, nice catch by Watson, and Anthony 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.160 Brown basically was like, well, I'm just gonna tackle him, 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.120 and then he couldn't tackle and ends up with a concussion. 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:49.800 He actually was in the middle of making a play, 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.880 stripping him up the ball and trying to tackle him, right, 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.760 And so I've been there before. Once you're in that position, 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:57.920 it doesn't matter what the hell you do. You a beat, 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.600 You're right, Okay, you're a beat. And and so what 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:06.560 happens is you're already down, Nate Newton, thanks for stepping in. 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.480 We appreciate it. Uh, they're already down, Jordan Lewis. So 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.640 you got a rookie starting in the slot, durn Bland, 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.240 and then you lose Brown and now you're forced to 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.400 bring in Kelvin Joseph. And I'll guarantee you when Aaron 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.920 Rodgers saw that, his eyes lit up and going, I 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.080 know where I'm going with the ball. And so now 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:34.240 you you you would like to load up against the run, right, 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.920 But the Cowboys, you know, they went single safety high 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.280 and now you've leaven all these guys in single coverage. Well, 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.280 we were supposed to be good enough to cover them. Well. Unfortunately, 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.560 when you don't have one of your starting guys in there, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.360 you're probably gonna have some problems. And that's whether you 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:58.120 play man those zones right, and so not being able 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.520 to run the football or stop the run, I should 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:06.600 say it just it causes so many different decisions, probably 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:12.440 including in overtime. Right you're you're you're saying, Okay, I 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.440 can't settle for a field goal here because we're not 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.440 doing a very good job of stopping them. And they 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.080 shouldn't have settled for a field goal because he would 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.520 have never got it there from fifty And we'll talk 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:28.960 about that. I'll tell you, Nate, thanks for stopping, and 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:30.960 I'll let you have after asking him to join it. 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.480 I'll let you have a word here or two. Oh no, no, no, no, no, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.439 it can't tinue to talk. No, I want to hear 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.480 from you. I want you here because I wanted to 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.080 hear what you were thinking, because we are at our 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.559 wits end. Over here, man, go ahead, So no, I 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.320 want to nobody's kicker. Okay. So, if if you were 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:56.160 watching the game, the win wasn't that strong, but there 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.920 was wind, and you saw what happened when Mason craws 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:04.400 Be tried kicking that direction. That was the ugliest looking 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.920 field goal I ever seen. The other thing that was 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.280 going on. It was cold and the balls were hard, 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.719 like real hard. You saw when they cut away to 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:20.439 mar trying to warm up his But the wind shifted 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:24.600 just a little bit. And if you watched and I 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.280 don't know if it was mar or the conditions, but 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.080 if you watched the kickoffs, all of a sudden, the 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:34.400 guy that hits a touchback every kick, now the ball 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.600 was landing at the goal line, while the ball was 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.120 landing at the five, and then it landed at the ten, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.320 and I think one of them ended up at around 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.120 the thirteen yard line, and he couldn't get the ball 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.240 to the end zone. So there was no way he's 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.400 making a fifteen. I don't I have no confidence in 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.719 the world that he could have got it there. And 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.480 then on top of that, in that two play sequence, 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.040 when it third and three and you already had in 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.200 your mind this is four down territory, Well do you 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.800 run the ball twice? I mean, if it's the second guess, 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:15.679 I understand the second guess. So but it all the 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:22.160 second going for it was, you know, facilitated by we 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.240 can't kick a field goal because they're going to come 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.640 down and score a touchdown the way they're moving the ball, 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:31.000 because we can't stop the run. And it's got to 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:34.280 get fixed. Because what do you think Minnesota's thinking right now? 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.920 They ran for one hundred and forty seven yards against 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:42.800 a Buffalo defense that was supposed to be good, including 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:48.400 Cook for one hundred and seventeen eighty one yard touchdown run. 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:53.920 He's licking his chops right now. So I think that 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.800 had a lot to do with all the other things 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:01.520 that happened in this game, including including the Cowboys' ability 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:06.240 to overcome those early interceptions to take a fourteen point lead, 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.839 you know, heading into the fourth quarter. Man, here they 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:15.600 are with a loss that should have never happened. Nate Newton, 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:20.360 how you guys doing. We're doing good? Good, Daniel. I 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:24.160 got two three shows today, three, Yeah, I got this 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:28.200 one here everybody. No, No, I'm just I'm just that 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.360 guy that had just come in because he won't stop 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.760 talking that, yeah, I won't stop talking. And uh, you know, 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.040 sometimes I like to on a day like this, I 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.040 like to hear everybody's show, you know. You know, you guys, 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.200 I listen to y'all every day, and I just like 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:49.120 to hear everybody's show and see what we're saying that 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.680 you know, and that basically everybody's saying the same. But 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.480 I want to apologize to coach McCarthy, I really do, 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.520 because what you're saying, and it's so correct about the kicker, 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.480 and I was like, wow, I was coach emotional and 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:11.720 going forward, but he uh, the kicker. I realized, I'm like, wow, 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.560 he's not getting him an end zone to day, he's 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.959 not look at this field, go and look how he's 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.559 warming up his foot. So, uh, I apologize to you, 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.360 Coach mccarthur, because I was like, man, what you emotional? 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:27.600 You know we're gonna win this? Yeah, and uh and so. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.920 But other than that, that's my last. Uh, that's my 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.600 last apology, and he's the only one that's getting it 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:39.400 the rest of him. No, sir, no sir, I'm I'm 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:46.360 this is what bothers me. This is what bothers me is. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:51.080 Two weeks ago, you ran a wrong route and it 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:55.120 then't cost us. Two weeks later, you run a wrong 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.000 route and we could have been up by twenty one 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:05.480 even more probably if guys understand every point counts. We 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.320 ex players and a guy that's been over thirty forty 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:14.719 years of reporting football among other sports, if we know, 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.120 I listened to every show and to a man and 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:26.600 a woman that does these podcasts, say, if they ever 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:32.280 get it right, Aaron Rodgers can kill you. We My 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.560 thing is this. On my show, we got a guy 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.600 that says I'm waiting for the playoffs. No, sir, you 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.000 don't have to wait to the playoffs. What team have 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:45.920 we beat with a healthy, good quarterback in a running 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:50.720 game in the last five years. I'll talk about a 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:57.080 healthy quarterback that's good in a running game. We have 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:04.200 not addressed as fellas. Michael Parson said last night on 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:10.559 his show, Well the post came. I'm sorry, hey, if 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.720 we just staying our gaps with squitch trying to rush 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:18.800 the passer. But Michael, you're the leader. You're got to 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:23.080 do what you say, get in your gap, stop the run, 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.400 and demand that everybody else does because if we if 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:32.200 we know Quinn Quinn is saying a thousand fellas, we 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.480 gotta get in our gaps. We gotta address this when 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:40.320 the team comes out and go look at the film 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:45.720 and hooks first or left. He hooked number ninety two first, 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.200 then they went over there hooked number ninety and they 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.840 did it three or four times in a row until 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.200 we finally stopped at one time, and then they went 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:02.040 up the middle. I said to my so, the way 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.680 this look fellas, we find to go about one hundred 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:14.040 and fifty yards. I was off by fifty seven. Gave no, 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:18.640 you're you're exactly right, And it's not like they were. 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.960 It was sneaky. They came out with two tight ends 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:26.960 and said we're running the ball now, they're gonna have 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:31.160 to make an adjustment. I understand the gap and stuff, 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:36.160 but when they're in two tight ends, three safeties on 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.359 the field may not do it. You might need three linebackers. 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.600 You don't have it, well, I think I think, well 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.600 with Bar, I know he was out. We don't with 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:52.720 Bar there. You have Barr Parsons in Vanderish. You don't 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.920 have three linebackers. Well, you gotta get you gotta get bigger, 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.840 because the skinny safety is not helping you in the 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.120 I don't care how dynamic he is, scaler, skinny safety 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.600 compared to the offensive lineman coming out there bowling over Mick. 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.480 I'm gonna say it one more time. We don't have 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.280 three lines. Well, they better get the moan Clark on 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.760 the field then and get him ready to go. But 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:24.680 tell you something, Boss, tell you something, Mick. We better 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:31.160 address down lineman and understand this ain't got nothing to 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.160 do with the coach. This got something to do with 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.280 do you want to stop the run? Are you going 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.680 to give it your all in all to stop the run? 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.840 Even with Michael Parsons that linebacker, he's getting caught up 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.880 because I said this at the beginning of the year. 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.920 I said this during the year. You gotta let him 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.160 play linebacker, not just because you can move him around. 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.400 You don't want him to lose his instincts. He was 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.840 getting caught into weird spots. He was as a rookie. 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.280 He was coming and he was learning. But you put 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.959 him at that defensive vent out of necessity, you you 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.960 can learn, you can lose a liberty skill set moving 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.840 around like that. And he was kind of in no 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.000 no land. So you got to make up your mind. 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.879 Is he good enough at this point to play both 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.440 or is he the defensive in now? Or is he 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.520 going to let him play enough linebacker so you can 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.479 keep his skills since starts seeing things, yeah, seeing him 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:35.800 And they sprung one run and it was a significant 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:40.880 point in the game where they they took they let 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:45.639 the the right defensive land and right tackle. They pushed 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.960 them to the outside right and then here comes the 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.800 running back and I'm looking at I'm going, well, Parson's 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.840 gonna fill the hole, and oh no, Big seventy one 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.920 was not touched their center and he comes and now 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.399 what's persons two fifty to three fifty? Who wins? That 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.119 kicked him out? And then on top of it, and 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.879 I thought they were supposed to be calling this, the 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:17.160 wide receiver in the slot cracked back on the slot 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.840 corner who was coming in to make the tackle, and 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:24.000 he shoved him from behind. And that's when Jones went 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.800 for like seventeen or eighteen yards on a on a 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.400 significant play. I'm gonna tell you something. You're gonna You're 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.040 gonna get plays like that that are being missed by 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.600 the refs. They're gonna see it all what what we 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:41.280 have to do. And I promise you, if you don't 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.800 do it during the regular season, it's not gonna turn 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:50.280 on doing or you're not gonna get to the play. 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.840 I'm gonna you know, I've been preaching on every show 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:57.160 that I've been on. Y'all know we four games behind Philadelphia, 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:01.359 well three if they win tonight, well they beat them. 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:06.159 I get you, yeah, but you gotta play them. I 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.280 know you don't if you lose two more games. You 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.440 might as well. You're you're in third place in a division. 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:20.200 It's hard to explain, but we had the same problem 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.800 going into the bye, the same problem coming out of 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:32.280 the buy our wide receivers that either has too It's 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.560 two options here. This is what I call it Jimmy 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:40.879 Johnson option, the Coach Landry option, and he was his 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:46.200 own offensive coordinator, Coach Landry. We're either not gonna throw 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:50.080 that route anymore. We're gonna make sure that this player 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:54.560 don't run that route. You're not gonna stop running the 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.720 route because it helps you keep your offense wide open. 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:04.320 A excuse me? What what for? The in slept seem 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:09.159 should never ever run that route again unless you rep 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:13.359 it thirty times. In practice, he should never run that 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:17.320 route again. It's the simplest rule of wide red. Not 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:22.120 get cut off. You cannot cannot cut you. You gotta 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:26.360 go off face. Yeah, I got highlight wheels doing that. 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.440 You can't let them cut you off. You can't cut 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:33.240 behind the guy. You can't. There's no top the balls. 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:37.280 I'm already here. I'm already here. Yeah, I can't change 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.440 it now. And if I do, the worst things happened 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.080 because we're proving that in the past. If I double clutch, 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:44.960 I'm in trouble. Yeah, okay, and super stuff starts happening. 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.439 Anybody fumble the ball, get injured again. So and the 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:52.240 shame of it is he had a career day catching 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:57.400 the ball eleven catches for one hundred and fifty yards. 0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:00.920 He teach the show to be the to receiver that 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.400 he wanted him to be. He gotta be disciplined, gotta 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:05.480 be this. And you know what, it's starting to frustrate 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:09.720 the quarterback because he's been covering for those routes, not 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:13.200 just his but some others. He always covers that. It's like, well, 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:16.440 our communication, I see it one way. No, he saw 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.400 it the right, pa, I was on the so all 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.720 the right and and did you see on the sideline 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:27.040 when he was upset and Olsen was like, yeah, see 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.760 Dak's saying that was me, that was I go No, No, 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.320 he was not saying that was me. He was saying, 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.520 we got to do it right. Olson was on it 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:39.520 though he knew what happened on both plays from the beginning. Yeah, 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.080 as soon as the first interception was thrown, and that's 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:47.199 when CD was over there, fussing with with Scholtz. He's like, 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:49.360 he was like this, like you gotta get out the way, 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:51.800 well too, you gotta go sharp and I gotta go 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:55.520 one of them, one of them got somebody. No, no, no, 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.439 he's the way Olson explained it. Yeah, no, no, he's right. 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:01.520 I then had too clear out right right with an 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:05.280 aggressive route right, you can't he was he got hung up. 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:06.800 I don't know what he was hung up on. And 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:10.000 so CDs hung up behind him. So Dad's like traffic. 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:12.000 I don't know if Dak said he got knocked off 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:15.840 his route um and and got but they shouldn't have 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:19.320 two guys within three y The tight end. The tight 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:21.880 end talked about what the tight end did wrong. Yeah, 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.119 Olsen is a tight end. He talked about what the 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.399 tight end because if he clears out, if he clears 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:28.760 out there and safety's got to go with him, not 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.080 sit there, not sit there. He did gotta make a 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.639 decision at all. Yeah, he's gotta make a decision, right. 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:36.560 Who's made They made it sa, they made it Safety 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:39.000 a superstar because he didn't have to make a decision. 0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:43.680 He just fell on Larry Brown. That was it Brown 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.440 okay for real and so the second one, that's what 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:50.440 we first talked about. That's that's the really as simple 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:52.439 as ever. I don't know why why receivers do that. 0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:54.520 He's not the only one that does it. What week 0:22:55.080 --> 0:23:00.640 is this? Oh no, it was week ten and we're 0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:06.680 still talking about basic fundamentals in the passing game. So 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:14.320 a guy asked me last night, He said, Troy, what 0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:17.320 what Mike and Troy would have said? I said, well, 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:20.520 first of all, you're talking about a guy that's in 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:24.400 his third year and ceedee lamb and my correct, you're 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:29.720 talking about a quarterback that's in his seventh year. What 0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:32.919 they would what? Mike would have ran up to Troy 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:39.560 and said, the safety just beat me. We we collided 0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:43.680 because Mike would have been getting in front of this guy, right, 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:45.680 the safety would have been coming down and they're to 0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:47.880 both in fighting, which man, he just got a better 0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:50.280 grip on it than I did, because Mike would have 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:55.080 been trying to rip him, no doubt, been fighting with him, 0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.520 and he just out muscled him. That's would have been 0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:00.480 the conversation. He wouldn't have been the come resation of 0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:05.359 what did you see? The safety was back? I came cross, 0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:10.760 he got a jump. His anticipation was good. It wouldn't 0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:15.480 be no. I mean it's and who fought harder for 0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:20.240 CD for the last eight weeks than Nate knew. I 0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:23.399 believe it right here. Some guys are number ones born 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:26.560 and some guys have to be created. And I thought 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:30.400 CD could be created. But you have through protect your 0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:34.000 quarterback at all times. It's nowhere in the world he 0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:37.000 can bring that back. If he does, he bring it back, 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:39.360 there's somebody can be sitting over here. We got a disaster, 0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:47.080 which is what happened on the fourth and three calls. 0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:50.520 Nobody was open and he brought it back and tried 0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:53.920 to get out and he gets tackled. And the fundamental 0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:56.040 of this show is we need to take a break 0:24:56.280 --> 0:25:01.320 right now, mix shots back in the moment.
