Welcome to the latest edition. 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:45.920 Of The Break. 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.200 We are alive from the SWBC Mortgage studios at the Star, 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.080 and today we talk about Cowboys victory. Cowboys beat the 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:56.680 Giants last night twenty to fifteen in the Meadowlands. Not 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.360 a game that you necessarily walk away from thinking they 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.840 were perfect, but a game where they got a win 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:03.800 and they needed a win, and some of the things 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.679 we saw, I think were very, very needed based on 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.959 what we'd seen the previous two weeks. We'll dive into 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.440 all of that here coming up over the next forty 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.280 five minutes. As a part of this show, we'll start 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:19.920 first with our normal game breakdown question, what was the 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.160 story of the game, big picture story of the game. 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.000 After watching last night. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:28.319 Bryan and Starthy, you know, it's probably pretty clear that 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.640 you felt like that the way they played run defense 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:35.520 was something that you know was much needed. You know, 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:42.880 we've asked questions on the show about fit finish. All 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.880 those things showed up last night. And when you're able 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:52.360 to take an opportunity to play a scheme where guy 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.560 plays down and then another guy replaces him, and then 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.920 there's another guy behind that and everybody's kind of doing 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.640 what they're supposed to do, you can you can keep 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.280 a team from running the football on you. And they 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.280 did a really nice job of that last night with 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.079 taking their down linemen affecting the way the Giants. Giants 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.480 didn't have clean opportunities to get up on your linebackers. 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.480 Linebackers tackled very well in this game. When you look 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.359 at uh, you know, when you look at what Overshown 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.480 was able to do, just incredible. His ability to close 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.320 and finish in the Ravens game, he had some missus, uh, 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.000 you know, Kendricks had some missus. This game. You had 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:37.919 some misses, but it wasn't just backbreaking. And so when 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.200 you play the scheme, you play it the right way, 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.680 you have the right fits, you finish, then you're able 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.440 to to to limit what people can do to you. 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.480 And I think that's something that Dallas has to be 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.000 really pleased about. You know, it got a little hairy 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.240 there at the end with all the injuries and stuff. 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.960 But uh, you know that was that was a gritty 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.600 one at the end in the second half, and maybe 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.040 you needed a little bit of a gritty defensive performance 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.560 there because the last couple of weeks have been far 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:06.960 from that. 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:12.119 Yeah, you talk about injury when we go back into 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.440 next when we get into next week and see the 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.960 first injury report, I bet there's gonna be a lot 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.560 of names on there from the defense specifically because so 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:24.280 many different guys got hurt. But a great win for 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.960 the Cowboys. Definitely a tough one. I liked this. What 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.520 I liked was that they didn't give up, that they 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.440 kept fighting and kept their head in the game despite 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.920 all the things that went wrong, the penalties, they kept 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.240 fighting all the way till the end. Was it pretty 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.280 absolutely not? And it's still concerning when you look at 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.440 who the opponent was and you were still struggling against 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.760 the team like the Giants. So but I'm gonna take 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.200 the win. We're gonna take the win and then move 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.160 on to the next next one. Something that the team 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.560 talked a lot about was, you know, a short week, 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.760 and we know the struggles that were happening leading into 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.680 that Thursday night football as far as all the comments 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.640 that were coming out the locker room, that could have 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:13.480 gone south very quickly. So I think that them getting 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:18.560 this WIEN just keeps them level because otherwise everybody, like 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.520 the headlines today would have been insane if it was otherwise. 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.600 But a lot of things need to be fixed for sure. 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.880 Yeah, for me, it was a gut check game. It 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:27.440 really was. 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.520 And you kind of if you get outside of just 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.839 the game and think about the scenario of not only 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.839 what you guys mentioned from the standpoint of the locker 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.200 room and all the talk last week, but go back 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.679 and think about the teams that they played. They played 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.599 Baltimore last week, which is known to be an extremely 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.200 physical team, and what we noticed in the film was 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.279 they loaded up heavy a lot and just basically ran 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.160 at the Cowboys and just they took a lot of 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.400 abuse last week from the standpoint of just the physical 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.960 collisions that they took and then to turn around and 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.159 four days later have to travel not have a home game, 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.719 but I have to travel to New York. During that game, 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.440 you had some of your best players. You had Micah Tank, 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:12.080 Zach Trayvon Overshown all leaving the game with injuries. I 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.760 think it's not a coincidence based on where they were, 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.560 who they played last week, short week to then get 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.480 up there and on a night when it was extremely 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.560 for I think for this time of the year, it 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.400 was pretty humid out there as well, so you saw 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.720 guys cramping up like it was just a lot going on, 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.440 and so for me, it was a gut check game, 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.440 Like that's one of those games where it would have 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.400 been very easy to be like, all right, my body's 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.280 just not doing it tonight, and you start doing things 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.560 that outside of yourself, not playing your role, not doing 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:40.000 your job. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:41.920 That's not what we necessarily saw. 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.640 It was sloppy at times, let's not make any bones 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.840 about that. But the fact is it was a gut 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:51.040 check moment. They in my opinion, they passed that part 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.080 of the test and that's how they ended up gutting 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:54.160 out that win last night. 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.640 Yeah, you know, and you mentioned the sloppy part of 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:02.360 the game, it felt like though, and sometimes this has 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.279 to happen. The Giants helped you a little bit in 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.920 that football that night, and they had some they had 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:13.520 some untimely drops their quarterback. It's really strange he has 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.320 lost the ability to throw the ball down the field 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.040 when you're talking about the vertical routes and stuff like that, 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.760 because when you watch the tape, you're going to see 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.599 a couple of times where his inability to get the 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:32.839 ball out there cost them an opportunity for an explosive play, 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.960 a huge play. You got a little lucky on the 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.640 other side, and it's a win. But I've just got 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.719 to point out there's a couple of times where where 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.040 late in that game, hooker goes for an interception, balls 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:49.160 over his head and if it's anybody but Wondo Robinson 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.600 standing on the other side, anybody with any length and 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.039 size to him, it's probably a catch. You know. But 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.160 you know, things like that have to happen in a 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.640 game for you to win. You know, he he dropped 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.560 a ball and a third down inside that you know, 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.800 Lewis drove on and tried to knock loose and in 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.920 the last couple of weeks. It seems like every time 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.640 that's happened, they've caught the ball and it's been an 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.560 explosive play. Saints the Ravens. You know, you caught some 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.320 brakes last night. Sometimes in this league you need a 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.920 few breaks, and you know, and and good that you 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.040 got him, But you're right about the gut check part. 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.160 You know, you're you know, they got call ups playing 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.920 crucial roles in the game, determining, you know. And I 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.320 was listening to, you know, to Mike after the game 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.880 last night, and he was like, hey, listen to he 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.080 you know, don't look at it as call up. I mean, 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.120 we were close on all these guys. I mean, so 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.760 to me, that tells me that the confidence in Booth 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:52.280 was confident enough to start him, but it wasn't confident enough. 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.240 If he starts to struggle, we're going to pull him. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.760 We're going to pull him. You know. So they had 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.640 they had options and and you know, their options actually 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.680 stepped up and helped them, you know, get that victory 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:06.160 last night. 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.520 Yep, all right, let's dive into some of the details 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.560 of the game. Let's let's start with the offensive side 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.520 of the ball. Dak was twenty two of twenty seven 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.760 eighty one percent completion rate, two hundred and twenty one yards, 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.920 two touchdowns, intercept, no interceptions, one hundred and twenty five 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.360 point five rating. It's the seventh time in his career 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.800 that he's had an eighty plus percent completion rate game 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.760 with two touchdowns. Overall, very efficient night, how would just 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:32.440 says his play. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.560 I feel like though that when you looked at Dak, 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.840 they did a really nice job of taking advantage of 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.880 some things with the giants and the secondary. They they 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:43.680 were able to hit some plays while they were able 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.439 to get some protection because the protection wasn't always there. 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.640 They left getting out there for a long time by himself, 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.400 you know. And I'm interested to see was it. Were 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:59.400 they so concerned about Lawrence inside? You know, I mean 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.400 if you look at Cooper Bebee, the metrics will tell 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.760 you that was a thirty percent you know, him being 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:09.400 by himself, seventy percent double team, So that means, okay, well, 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.200 who's helping bebe It's one of those guards. Yeah, And 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.400 you know, they they felt like that that Geiiton could 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.000 handle the load on the outside. And you know, there 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.120 was some struggles there. Clearly there were some struggles and 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.360 with the holding calls and things. But with Dak, he's 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.520 able to you know, he's able to get the ball 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.840 out when he needs to. He understands what's kind of 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.480 going on on his you know, behind him over there, 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.120 his blind side, and you know you could see him, 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.360 you know, Lamb. They put him in the backfield. They 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.360 kind of do some things to try and get him 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.000 the football. They tried to even you know, you saw 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.400 Rico Daddle run the ball, you know a little bit, 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.280 and they just tried to do some things to help 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.400 the quarterback along. He responded well with the throws, the 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:53.200 accurate throws that he was able to make. Ferguson Lamb. 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.120 They still got to kind of figure out things about cooks, 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.800 you know. But you know, that's it's a little bit 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.640 of a a little bit of a game too of 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.480 like how do you have really first half offense and 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.240 not much second half offense? You know that that's another 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.480 thing that we've kind of It seems like, wow, Okay, 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.800 they got things rolling nicely here and then all of 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.040 a sudden things just kind of shut down on you 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.760 a little bit. But you know, but overall, I think 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.880 Dak did exactly what he needed to do to win 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:22.800 this football game. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.760 Yeah, I think he looked a lot more confident than 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:29.640 he did last week, and he looked more poised. Some 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.600 of his throws were really good, and he was very 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.720 proud about him hitting that eighty percent. Talking to the 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.960 media after the game, someone mentioned to him like, hey, 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.720 you got eighty percent quarterback rating and he was like, yes, 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.560 he just did like with his fist, so he said. 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.160 He mentioned that was his goal headed into this week, 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.520 and that typically is his goal that he has set 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.760 for himself to hit that eighty So you can see 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.600 the improvement some of those throwing Brian, you mentioned Ceedee 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.319 Lamb and I think they had a better connection. It's 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.000 still not where you wanted to be. And also you 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:08.720 mentioned those throws or the handoffs with him because acting 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.960 as a running back it hasn't worked. They've done it 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:16.319 how many times now, like four overall since they started doing. 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.040 That, the read the option to read options people. 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.800 But yeah, and then takes off trying to run. I 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.640 don't know why they keep trying that because it just 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:25.520 hasn't well. 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.360 We always asked though, like why did he run more? 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.280 You know? And then I mean maybe that's why you 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.720 don't run more right there, But the Giants had that one. 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:35.840 There were a couple of times when the Giants had 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.320 you just good call. You know, you gotta tip your 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:42.280 hat to them, like okay, you know that might fool somebody, 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.400 but that didn't fool them on that particular play. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.320 But it's not like to me, like plays like that 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.839 that hasn't shown to be uh successful successful. 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.400 It's almost like that the jet sweep thing with the CD. 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.240 I'm kind of like over that right now with that situation. 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:58.880 But the other thing is like when you look at 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:03.200 a player like Hunter and you see it most of 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.320 the time when he gets the ball or the opportunity, 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.800 he takes advantage of it and makes a good play. 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.360 So it just makes me wonder why not? And I 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.800 feel like I always we always are me. I'm gonna 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.000 speak for myself. I always get to myself too, where 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.920 I see something that could be potentially good and them 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:21.600 not trying to do it enough. 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.240 And going back to branding. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:27.040 Cooks and some of the plays where we're always like, oh, 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.120 why don't you get him the ball? Then they're trying 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.880 to get him the ball, but it's not successful. So 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.680 it's just like it's hard to get a full like 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.240 a good gauge or grip of like what this offense 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:42.800 should be because sometimes you think they should make certain 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.080 plays and then what they do is is just they're 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:45.920 not executed it. 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:47.319 Executing it well, you. 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.440 Couldn't have had a better game if you're Hunter Lipkey 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.040 last night. And I say that, look at what his 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:56.719 plays that he made, the third down catch that he 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.880 made for a first down, it was third let men 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.000 and he makes a you know, he makes catch, great catch. 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.839 The fourth down run where he's trapped. What happens very 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.600 next play touchdown the lamb the guy had. He also 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.320 had three tackles on special teams last night. He couldn't 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.280 have played any better or been more of a more 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:22.840 important player. His plays led to bigger plays, you know, 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.080 and that's and that's that's what you gotta You know, 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.000 when you're when you're going to a game and you're 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:28.440 putting him in there and you throw them the ball 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.280 or handing the ball, and then the very next play 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.640 it's a touchdown or a big play, you're like, my gosh, 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.320 you know that that's what you gotta do. And like 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.640 I said, on the special teams, you know, he's been 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.640 really really good as well, so, uh, you know overall 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:45.880 defensively though, I the thing that the thing that's gonna 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.640 be kind of you know is I I'm just this 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.280 is just the one critical thing I'll say with Mike's 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:58.080 Mike could have helped, could have helped Guiden on one 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.720 play that I thought about, the third and one play 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.160 when they throw the ball, you know, and they get 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.480 the holding call, just run it. Just you know, just 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.960 you're at a point in time where you're just your 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.360 defense has faced a lot of plays and you're kind 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.680 of struggling a little bit, you know, on their end 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.440 of it. Keep the keep the chain moving, keep it going, 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.000 keep you know, try and just build something on that. 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.680 To me, Third and one, just hand the ball to 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.480 Hunter Lipkey, hand the ball to Rico Daddle. When you 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.000 pass it, okay, you see what happens. Third and one, 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.320 you just just run it. You got game in hand, 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.040 you're kind of you know, you need to just keep 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.080 going and decide to throw it. And I'm like, okay, 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.400 you just put your left tackle who's struggling in a 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.040 terrible position there, and he gets a holding call and 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.400 it backs it up, and you know, you don't get 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.080 the you know, get it. You know, you don't get 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.760 what you need out of that. So I'm like I said, 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.720 they got to figure out something about sustainability of the 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:52.640 offense though, too. 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.680 Yeah, let's take our first break. When we come back. 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.400 I want to dive a little deeper into that run 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.880 game because Rico Dondell, I thought, had some moments last 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.120 night and I'm starting to I wonder if really the 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.480 running game is starting to crystallize for us a little bit, 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.640 if they should follow the tea leaves and follow what's working. 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:07.960 We'll talk about that when we come back. This is 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.320 Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.440 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.440 cheetah Savannah.

Rico 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.000 Dowle yesterday was eleven carries for forty six yards or 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.760 four point six average. I thought they had some interesting 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.359 carries too, like they're they're it. I think it was 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.520 in thes either late third quarter or early fourth quarter. Uh, 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.639 they had a drive where they head him back to 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.800 back for like six yard runs, and I was like, 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:00.640 this is the time in the game when the running game. 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.960 I'm looking for those moments when you need the running game. 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.480 Is the running game there? Because running don't have to 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.360 be great all game. There are gonna be moments when 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.200 you need it. And I thought they were actually getting 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.560 something out of it. And then the next drive they 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:14.879 come back and they got Zeke out there, and again, 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:16.240 this is not a knock on Zke. 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:17.720 This is not meant to be a knock on Zke. 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.159 I think my personal opinion is I think ric o' 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:22.960 daldo is the best runner you have on this scene. 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:24.880 Yes, I think Lipke. 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:26.639 Is a runner that can give you a little something 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.880 that's a little different. He can give you a little 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.399 bit more of that those power runs, and I personally 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.359 think they should shrink this thing down and really focus 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:35.200 on those two runners. 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:36.639 What are your thoughts on that, Brian. 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.560 No, I do agree with you, and you know what, 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:43.560
