Thirty five which happens, yes, thankfully, 17 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: was a short hop to and from Nashville.

Hate to see it was a reasonable reason. 21 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: It's pretty good two thirty.

Yeah, 43 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: that's right, that's a good point. But good, uh, good 44 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 1: to have you on. Thanks for filling in. Man. Yeah, 45 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: the one that McCarthy was wearing on the sideline last night. 46 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: But uh but man twenty you got to like that 47 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: as soon as you see it, Yeah, just right to me, 48 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, give me that over. They actually brought 49 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: it to the TV studio. I typed in a I 50 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: pressed the button under my chair and they just brought 51 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: it to me. Believe that's what it was. While you 52 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: were being bun. I'm trying to talk about the game 53 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: and you're just talking about this hoodie the classic Oh goodness. 54 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: Twenty seven thirteen. The final score, Cowboys on top of 55 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: the Titans. It wasn't pretty all the way through, but 56 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: as Dak Prescott said last night, a win is a win, 57 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys do get to twelve and four, matching 58 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: their win total from last year. Patrick on site at 59 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium. Was it as physical there as it looked 60 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: on television? Because it was a pretty physical, gritty, nasty, 61 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: sloppy game from kickoff on ward. It absolutely was, and 62 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: we talked about it ahead of the game. That's that's 63 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: the kind of football you expect from a team coach 64 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: by Mike Rabel. Yeah, you just knew going in that 65 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: regardless of the fact that you know, technically, not necessarily technically, 66 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: but hypothetically they're waving the white flag with starting Joshua 67 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: Dobbs over Malik Malik Willis, Uh, you know, resting Derek Henry, 68 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: resting guys like the Nicole Altry. I mean, still, whomever 69 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: was going to play on that field in the Titans 70 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: uniform was going to bring physicality, was going to try 71 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: to punch you in the mouth. And that's what the 72 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys sawing. And unfortunately, from a quick news and note standpoint, 73 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are running additional tests on center Tyler Biadishu 74 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: this morning, hopefully hoping for the best. But I will 75 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: say a little bit about optimism there. If you go 76 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: back and listen to what Dak said in his press conference. 77 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: Dak wouldn't give any any details on it, but he 78 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: said that what Beadish told him after he came back 79 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: out wearing the boot was positive. So hopefully whatever that 80 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: news was carries over because the Cowboys can't necessarily afford 81 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: to lose Beadish. He leveled up this year. But yeah, 82 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean it was absolutely physical. Cowboys got banged around, 83 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: Titans got banged around. They you know, they lost the 84 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: guy in Tartu. It was raining unexpectedly, right, that wasn't 85 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: in the forecast. When it happened, it was. It was 86 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: a good old fashioned football game. Oh yeah, right, it 87 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: was December, it was chilly, it was raining, and guys 88 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: were getting after them both sides of the ball. But 89 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, hey, you know, don't apologize for wins, No, 90 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: you just don't. Yeah, man, you know it's when I 91 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: when I look at that game, when I watched that 92 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: game the other day, it just it was extremely physical. 93 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: Like you said, you talked about Rabel and what he 94 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: brings to the table defensively and offensively, and you know, 95 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: I thought they had a good game plan going against 96 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. You know, I felt like you know, Joshua Dobbs, 97 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: he surprised me a little bit because a lot of 98 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: those passes they were on the mark, they were dropped. 99 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: You had a lot of drops from the tenants and sad, 100 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: But I feel like he came in and he played 101 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: pretty well. But when you talk about the Cowboys, you know, 102 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: I just this is December football. This is December football, 103 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: and this is the time where you know, things should 104 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: start clicking in the right direction. Things should start you know, 105 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: you should start getting more healthy. You should start getting 106 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: more consistent offensively, defensively, all phases of the game. You 107 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: should start getting more consistent. But I just keep seeing 108 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: a lot of inconsistencies when I look at this team. 109 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at it, the turnovers. We 110 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: gotta be able to figure this out. I mean, there's 111 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: guy I understanding that first interception was not daks fall 112 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: at all. Excuse me, but that was you know, bumped 113 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: off a Henders shotting, all that good stuff. But the 114 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: Bosch snap, you know, the pick to pick before halftime. 115 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: These are things that we've got to clean up offensively, 116 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: because you're not gonna be go once you get into 117 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs. You're not gonna be going against you know, 118 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: a Josh Dobbs led Tennessee Titans. You know you're not 119 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: gonna be going against Davis Mills in the Houston Texans. 120 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: You're gonna go against guys that are proven and then 121 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: we'll make you pay for these turnovers. So, to me, 122 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: there's something that we have to clean up. Overall. Defensively, 123 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: I thought they played, you know, a little bit better, 124 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: you know, especially with the circumstances going against you know, 125 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: a team resting a lot of players. I felt like 126 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: they played a little bit better. But I still want 127 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: to see more out of that pass rush. Yeah, I 128 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: still would love to see more. I mean, that was 129 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: the strength of this team and this defense going into 130 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: the season was the waves and waves upon pass rushers 131 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: they can throw at you. And right now, I don't know, 132 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: you know, if it's fatigue on that side of the football, 133 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, but guys aren't winning the 134 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: one on ones. I mean, we understand Parsons is gonna 135 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: get a lot of attention, He's gonna get double team. 136 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: We understand that. But the thing that made that d 137 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: line great was that guys were taking advantage of one 138 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: on ones and right now, I'm just not seeing that. 139 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: I'm not seeing that from this defensive And you've got 140 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: to finish those one on ones too, because if you 141 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: win your battle, you got to get to the quarterbacks. 142 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: Credit to josh Dobbs, he avoided three or four sacks 143 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: last night just based off of using his legs working 144 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: out wide. There were a couple times, especially late in 145 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: the game, the interception on Nashan right. Sam Williams and 146 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons were both at the quarterback and he stepped 147 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: up into it and just barely escaped that one, and 148 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: they turned into a turnover. But because the pressure was 149 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: there from a pass rush standpoint, And I'll start on 150 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football because that's where I 151 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: think you played your best football last night was defensively. 152 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: Thirteen points allowed, the two field goals early, both of 153 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: which coming off of turnovers in short fields. So really 154 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: it's only one drive you allowed in this entire game, 155 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: which is what you expect against Tennessee and Joshua Dobbs 156 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: and a banged up offensive line struggled at times. But 157 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like you said, this 158 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: isn't a team that's going to go to the playoffs 159 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: and make a run. They may make the playoffs, I 160 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna make a run, And if 161 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: they do, it's gonna be on the back of twenty two, 162 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: Derek Campbell, it's not gonna be off of Josh Dobbs. 163 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: This was a frustrating game because you didn't put them 164 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: away the way that you anticipated putting them away. But 165 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: at the same time, you got a two score win. 166 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: You just didn't do it in the pretty fashion that 167 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: you would anticipated. Agree and I agree in the aspect 168 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: of the defense having the better game and being a 169 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: large part of why the Cowboys were able to avoid 170 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: or I should say make good or make better or 171 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: the mistakes they had in the second quarter. I mean, 172 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: it was a disastrous second quarter. You talk about the 173 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: bad snap and the tipped rail interception off Hindershot's chest, 174 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: and then the interception that was on accountable to Dak 175 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: Prescott because you can't make that throw. If you're going 176 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: to make that throw, that throw better be exactly where 177 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: the way it needs to be as opposed to on 178 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: the back shoulder. Shows helped Kevin mcbayer get his second 179 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: of the day. But I mean, you know, kudos to 180 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: this defense because although we we I think we've become 181 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: so accustomed, and rightfully so, it's not a bad thing, 182 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: but we've become so accustomed to them being able to 183 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: get after the passer um that we want to see 184 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: the sack totals continue to rack up, you know, four 185 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: or five six a game, and they did get to 186 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: a game, but one of them was a strip, one 187 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: of them strips and shouts out to Dante Fault for 188 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: that strip sact. But they also had ten quarterback heads, 189 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: so they were they got Yeah, they were getting hands 190 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: on Josh Dobbs. They were disrupting him. Uh and they 191 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: showed that while Josh Dobbs and tons of credit to 192 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: the young man because he had some dots. He had 193 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: some dots he did whether they were caught or not caught. 194 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: He had some dots out. But the Cowboys and Dan 195 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: Quinn were also able to rattle him often. He was 196 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: erratic under pressure. Um. So the Cowboys pass rush did 197 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: more than enough. But the question becomes as we go 198 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: into the playoffs, what happens when you go up against 199 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: the Jalen Hurts, who was not so easily rattled with 200 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: just a quarterback hurry, like you're gonna have to get 201 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: him to the ground. Who has speed and strength to 202 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: escape those those sacks like we saw Trevor Lawrence escape 203 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: sacks in Jacksonville. So for the Cowboys. I like what 204 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: I saw as far as the ability to get in 205 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: the backfield consistently against the Titans. But you're gonna have 206 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: to bring these these quarterbacks down. Uh So, two sacks 207 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,599 Speaker 1: it worked, two sacks, ten quarterback hits, it worked. Disruptions 208 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: are always as valuable as sex, if not more so. Um, 209 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: but when you're talking about the Josh Allen's, the Jalen 210 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: Hurts of the world, the Patrick Mahomes of the world, 211 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: you are gonna have to wratch it that up. Two 212 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: of those three quarterbacks were in the AFC. I just 213 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: wanted to know. Yeah, I just want to say that. 214 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: I know it wasn't I'm looking right at you. It 215 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: was what you're trying to lead on here, putting up 216 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: what I'm throwing picking up what I'm throwing down. But 217 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: it's true, though, you gotta get to the guys and 218 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: finish the job. But how tough is it to do 219 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: so as a defender. I mean, we even saw Darn 220 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: Bland last night and he came in as a corner 221 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: on a blizz nearly had a sack, which would have 222 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: been great. Yeah, he came a couple times. I'd like 223 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: to see that and I love it, man, I love it. 224 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: I wouldn't know why. I want to know why. You 225 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: gotta love it, man, you gotta love it. But how 226 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: tough is it to actually bring a guy to the ground? 227 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: There is it just second nature by this point for 228 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: these guys on that side of the ball. Well, nowadays 229 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: it's extremely tough. I mean, when I was playing, you 230 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: can you can plan a guy in the ground, lay 231 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: on them, you could do all that good stuff, and 232 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: they wouldn't throw a flag. Now it seems like you 233 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: could wrap the guy up, put them down on a pillow, 234 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: you know, read them a night story, and they're still 235 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: gonna throw a flag on you. I just I don't 236 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: understand it. Some of these flashers, even the one that 237 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: Tennessee gat I think it was on the third down 238 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: right when they when they hit Dak Prescott. I'm like, 239 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: the man hit him. Granted it was a violent hip 240 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: that we play a violent sport. He hit the guy 241 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: had his hands up like this while he's falling towards 242 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: the What do you want the man to do? You 243 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: know what I say. I understand it helped the Cowboys out, 244 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: but what do you want the man to do? Out there. 245 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: You want them to hit him to five physics and 246 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: roll off like it's to me, it's it's it's I 247 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: don't understand how these players do it nowadays, especially bringing 248 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: guys now because if you do bring them down in 249 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: a certain fashion, not only do you get the penalty, 250 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: but you also make it a fine. So it's like, man, 251 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: where do you go defensively to bring these guys down. 252 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: It's a tough scenario that they got and we see 253 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: it now and then where guys will come in they're 254 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: going to soft wrap them up and a quarterback or 255 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: get rid of the football and you're like, man, well 256 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: what am I supposed to if I bring down on 257 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: the ground? He's I mean, we're gonna throw the flag 258 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: on me. So it's tougher defenders all around. Man. Yeah, 259 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: we talked about that specifically, specifically last week when we 260 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: said you have to wonder if there's a correlation between 261 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: the way the game is being legislated for roughing the 262 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: passer versus the what seems to be a rash of 263 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: escaped would be sex from all teams. You looked at 264 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: Jackson jack Wards, there were a couple of times they 265 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: had Trevor lawrence dead the rights, and I mean wrapped 266 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 1: up dead the rights and he escaped. But if you 267 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: go back and look, it's because the defender might have 268 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: let up Carlos Watkins and was even even Dalla same. 269 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: There was one where Dak was wrapped up he still 270 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: standing because the defender drapped around his waist, didn't follow 271 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: him to the ground, and it was a conversion of 272 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. So I don't I agree with you one 273 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: million percent. I do not like how the game is 274 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: being officiated in that aspect. Other I mean, are you 275 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: gonna put some flags on him or not? Like what 276 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: are we doing here? But I will also say that 277 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: it felt good to see Dak Prescott be the beneficiary 278 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: of that legislation for one so often he isn't. So 279 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: if you're gonna, you know, call the game that way 280 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: across the league, make sure that Dak Prescott gets his 281 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: fair share as well. In one hundred percent, believe that 282 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: it depends on the quarterback. Who could you see the 283 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: one where Josh Dobbs got hit and by Mica and 284 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: Mica and Bland kind of put him down. Ain't no call. 285 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: So I definitely believe it's it comes down to the quarterback. 286 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: We've seen the one with Tom Brady. He gets wrapped 287 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: up and put down on the pillow. Oh that flag. 288 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: You can't put that man on the ground. You cannot 289 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: do that. So I one hundred percent believe it depends 290 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: on the quarterback to where these flags are coming of. 291 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: Doubs isn't going to get the coat that Mahomes would get. 292 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way. No, not at all. Now, 293 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: how do you feel like the secondary played yesterday BC 294 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: when you looked at it? Because Nate Sean Wright significant snaps, 295 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: even got banged up a little bit, but he returned, 296 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: had his first career pick. A couple plays were good. 297 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: Then he also got beat on the one play to 298 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: McMath down the right sideline where he was just purely 299 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: blown coverage in that regard, but overall grand scheme of things, 300 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: what do you think about the secondary? Look, I'm gonna 301 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: be honest, man, I felt like the secondary play really well. Okay, 302 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: Like I understand, you know, they gave up a couple 303 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: passes and you're gonna get that when young players out there, 304 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: and kudos to you know, Joe Wi Junior and Al 305 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: Harris or Al Harris what they're able to do with 306 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: these young guys is it's unprecedented. You got a guy 307 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: into Ron Bland who was a fifth round pick out there, 308 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: you throw him into the fire. And I understand the 309 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: guy has, you know, a talent out there, but you 310 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: gotta be coachable as well. And these guys, I mean 311 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: to play the nickel position as well as he's playing. 312 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it's standing to understand the instincts of it 313 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: and the ins and out zone versus man and man coverage, 314 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: being able to come up there and fit in the 315 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: run game. You got to be extremely coachable, and these 316 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: guys are doing that for these young players. And then 317 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: you look at Nation right no Sean Nation pronounced crazy right, 318 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: let just call him right there, right go wrong right good? 319 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: But they throw him into the fire because of the 320 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: struggles of Kelvin Joseph out there and and the guys 321 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: just he just picks it up. He just gets it. 322 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: I mean you see that length at the cornerback position, 323 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: what he's able to do, pressing guys kind of keeping 324 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: him out of arms slave he was able to get 325 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: to take away as well. So kudos to the coaching 326 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: staff and this young secondary overall, they're making plays out there. 327 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: They're not a liability like I thought they might be. 328 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I understand, we lost what two of our 329 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: top three corners out there for the season, and I thought, 330 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: for sure, you know, the secondary was gonna get picked apart, 331 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: and it was early on with Kelvin Joseph. But these 332 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: guys are seemingly coming into their own. They're growing up. 333 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: We understand what the Ron blam brings. I think he 334 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: should be Defensive Rookie of the Year at least in 335 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: a discussion of man I do this ball Science lamp 336 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: last week, Ladies and gentlemen, you will see why there's 337 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: evidence in there, the support barriers. I'm telling you, the 338 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: guys playing outstanding NationAn right out there as well. That 339 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: three safety, that three safety monster that they have. I mean, 340 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: the way that these coaches are getting the most out 341 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: of these players, it's remarkable, and I feel like that secondary, 342 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: it's it's very beneficial to have those guys in the 343 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: back end. I like to touch on Barry's point again, 344 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: I love to see the cornerback position starting to come 345 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: together in the absence of Jordan Lewis and Anthony Brown. 346 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: I can't say enough about Durron blind. And you know 347 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: I said it jokingly, but seriously, go look at last 348 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: week's edition of the Science Lab and I make a 349 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: case for why Durron Bland should be in the defensive 350 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year conversation. The numbers are there, ladies 351 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: and gentlemen. He's actually topping Sauce Gardner in several categories 352 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: as well as other talented cornerbacks that came out this 353 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: this afseason. But you look at durn Bland being able 354 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: to step in and be an I mediate impact. Right. 355 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: So then the question became, after you lost Anthony Brown, 356 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: who's going to be on the practice squad? You got 357 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: kid to Sheffield who we haven't seen yet. You sim McKinsey, 358 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,719 Speaker 1: Alexander saw him last week, but not this week. You 359 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: claimed Trayvon Mullin. He's been inactive both of these weeks. 360 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys are really leaning on this on this youth. So 361 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: it really was Kelvin Joseph time. It was Kevin Kelvin 362 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: Joseph's season, right, former second round pick, You're in your 363 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: second year, this is this is what they drafted you for. 364 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: Didn't perform well, you know you can point at the 365 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: fourteen points he allowed in Jacksonville had ultimately led to 366 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: him not getting any defensive snaps against UM the Philadelphia 367 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: Eagles on Christmas Eve, and the only defensive snap, if 368 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: I'm out of mistake in one or two was when 369 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: they Sean Wright left the game with injury against the 370 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. But the Sean Wright, the more reps he's getting, 371 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: he's taking advantage of this. He's he's doing the opposite 372 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: of what Joseph was doing, and he's becoming more adept 373 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: at being able to read coverages and react. Yes, he 374 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: gave up a big play, gave up the thirty yarder 375 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: to McMath and and the Cowboys secondary as a whole 376 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: gave up you know, two or three of those chunk plays, 377 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: but they clamped down. They needed to clamp down in 378 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: the red zone near the red zone. Uh. And the 379 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: thing I love about the right interception, you know, obviously 380 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: it being first of his career, that's always special. But 381 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: there's a reason Dan Quinn and Joe Witt and Al 382 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: Harris love these lengthy defensive backs. It took every millimeter 383 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: y a right wing span to get that in UM, 384 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: So kudos to him because it's starting to feel like 385 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: Nishan Wright could be more than serviceable in that role 386 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: going to the playoffs, and we were not. We didn't 387 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: have that energy two weeks ago, two weeks ago, that 388 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: CB two opposite you're huge, like, oh boys, And there's 389 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: still a question. I mean there's plays like the one 390 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: against McMath where I don't care if you think you 391 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: have safety help over the top or not. There were 392 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: seven yards of separation. You can't you can't get beat 393 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: that bad, no matter that it was just a straight 394 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: So there's there's still growth to be had. But I 395 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: said it last night, he's trending in the right direction, 396 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: which is the opposite of what you could say about 397 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: his draft mate. Because you look at that twenty twenty 398 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: one draft class, Minca Parson's at the top, check mark 399 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: you got that one done. But then it's Kelvin, Joseph 400 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: DIGGI Zoo has been good, Nashan Right, Dabrol Cox. Those 401 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: are guys after the Michael Parsons pick that you could 402 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: say haven't made the impact that you would anticipate. Last night, 403 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: Diggy's who played well. Chauncey Golston played well, played significant 404 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: snaps at the three techniques, throughout the night, Nashan Right 405 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: had his first pick and Dabrol Cox had the majority 406 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: of the time he guys most most defensive work that 407 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: he had all year long. So good night for the 408 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one draft class outside of maybe Kelvin Joseph, 409 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: who rarely saw the field and when he did, he 410 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: had a penalty on special teams. So it's a struggle 411 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: right now for Kelvin's two little things. Two penalties. Yeah, 412 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: you're right, right, Yeah, the illegal block in the bag 413 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: and then he had the kitch catch the fair catching 414 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 1: him at seven. Is he just not you know, paying 415 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: its hen That's what we talk about coachability and being coachable, 416 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: like what are you doing? Then he had some bright 417 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: spots throughout the season and then it just fell off 418 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: a cliff again, it just fell off. He's doing himself 419 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: no favorite Yeah, I mean, he did himself no favorites 420 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: defensively in Jacksonville. But now going into this part of 421 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: the season December, Kelvin Joseph was able to hang his 422 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: hat at least on special teams. He was one of 423 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: the better special teams guys. Yes, he had the penalties, 424 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: but he was one of the best STAPs getting down 425 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: the field and now not so much, and you're still 426 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: racking up penalties that helped flip field position in favor 427 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: of the opponent. So a lot to figure out there 428 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: for Kelvin Joseph. But uh, when it comes to Nashan, right, 429 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: this is this is a guy that I was high on, 430 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: uh coming out of the draft, and I felt like 431 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: he didn't need some development. So we're not going to 432 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: sit here and say, oh, I thought he stepped in 433 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: and be able to make a play impact like darn Bland. 434 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,239 Speaker 1: I didn't. But I did believe, And I said this 435 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: in training camp um on an episode of The Break. 436 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: If I'm not mistake, well we got we gotta give 437 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: some love to I'm talking about love the number two 438 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: every once in a while. But I sit up one. 439 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: Oh you know you're on it, sitting, Yeah, you're sitting there. 440 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: Even come full time, Well, we'll try and recruit you. 441 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: We got an open chairs comics man. But I did 442 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: say in training camp, I believe that Nicho Wright has 443 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: the ability to be a starter in the NFL eventually, 444 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: and these types of circumstances where he's allowed to step 445 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: in and show himself, it just it proves that point. Yeah, yes, 446 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: and there's growth still to be had, but a long 447 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: way to go. If you really want to go up 448 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: against the best, you gotta beat the best. Tennessee wasn't 449 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: the best. So let's not get it twisted. He had 450 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: a good game. Let's let's try and keep that momentum 451 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: going as opposed to maybe trying to repeat it heading 452 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: into the final week of the regular season and then 453 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: of course into the playoffs. But when we've come back 454 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: here on Talking Cowboys, let's talk about the slow start 455 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: from the offense. Is this something to be worried about? 456 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: Or was it just another day at the office for 457 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I don't know which one is more concerning. 458 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere.
