Listen up, man, I know it's not Friday, 38 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: but we're gonna say with our chest today this was 39 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: absolutely terrible. With a cherry on top. We lost to 40 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: a team that doesn't even have a name, um called 41 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: the football team. We lost a football team that just 42 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: happened to play out of Washington. Uh, these guys came 43 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: in or we went there to go to go score 44 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: three points. We went there to get disrespected. We went 45 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: there to let our quarterback get knocked out. Night night 46 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: is what we called it in the league. He went 47 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: night night okay, And everybody just came over and touched 48 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: the mind his shoulder and said are you okay? Are 49 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: you okay? With no response. We've talked about it in 50 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: the past, we referred to it. I can't tell you 51 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: how many times about how we say, you know what, 52 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: we don't want to say there's a lack of heart. 53 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: We don't want to say there's a lack of effort. 54 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: We don't want to say that they don't have each 55 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: other's back, that they're not even that they're that they 56 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: are they're brothers keeper. But guess what, they've proved us wrong. 57 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: They proved us wrong. Right. We've been trying to have 58 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: the back. Can't have it back like a jam sport. 59 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: No more, can't do it, no more, can't do it 60 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: no more. We're here to tell the truth, and we're 61 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: gonna tell the truth all day to day. I'm disappointed. 62 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: I am. I am hurt by that showing yesterday. Rob. 63 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: Do you feel the same way. I don't know if 64 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: we've got robbed heck Man, Yeah, what happened to Rob? 65 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: But of course I feel the same way. No way, 66 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: no way that I back for our team to go 67 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: to Washington and play as lifeless as they did, and 68 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's really uninspired. And man, we talked about 69 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: it before we started the show. You know that we 70 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: have no positive illusions to sell today because when you 71 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: have a team that goes out and plays that lifeless 72 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: and you have a situation where your quarterback is completely 73 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: taken out. Bostick, he may be a good guy, but 74 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: that was a sucker move, man, that's horrible. You don't 75 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: and they talk, you talk about the fraternity of NFL 76 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: players and guys not doing that, and we we just 77 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: pretty much raped Tristan Hill over the colds for the 78 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: Gator roll. What do you do to Bostick for that? 79 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: Because that was that was a sucker move, but even 80 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: more for not one soul on our team to respond 81 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: to what he did to me Is, man, That's that's 82 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: the that's the part about it. Uh. And Isaiah, I 83 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: gotta give you, I gotta give you credit when you say, hey, 84 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: these guys are not hanging out together, and obviously because 85 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: of the COVID nineteen stipulations and all of that, they 86 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: really can't. But that's just that's just a lack of 87 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: heart for your own guy. We laughed about it about 88 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: Kyle yos Is saying that, look, we know he's an 89 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: Olympic civil medalist and calling nine one one. But Kyle 90 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: would have did something in a situation like that, man. 91 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I've never called nine one one in my life, 92 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: but I even in that moment, would have turned around 93 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: and I would have. I would have known. And I 94 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: made the joke before the show. I was like, if 95 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: if any one of y'all were messed with and you 96 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: guys are our podcast buddies, We're not going out and 97 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: fighting other two hundred and eighty pound grown men. You 98 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: guys and I talked football, But if somebody were to 99 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: messed with you guys, I would have I would take 100 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: exception to it, especially to the point where they would 101 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: knock you out. Oh yeah, no, it's going down but 102 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: I think we have rob back here. But I completely 103 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: agree with you. Hackmakled check me out. I know we 104 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: got CB back. There can't nobody sec He's back to 105 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: our producer. But listen up, CBE likes to play Call 106 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: of Duty right, lets to play a little look c D. 107 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: If somebody takes out Kyle on a video game, it 108 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: takes out you know, Chris a video game. I am 109 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: coming for their head. I'm coming for the head. You 110 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: got to worry about me the whole game. I don't care. 111 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: I'm fragging you, I'm throwing grenades. I'm coming after you 112 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: all day long. You gotta worry about me because guess 113 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: what you just did. You just got my dog and 114 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: it ain't going down like that. Remind me not to 115 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: play any Call of Duty with you, Isaiah, because I 116 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: feel like you're just gonna get us caught. Yeah, I'm 117 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: coming for it you rest of the game, coming for 118 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: the rest of the game. But outside of the frustration 119 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: with the Dalton head, and that absolutely needs to be 120 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: talked about and addressed. And I assume that there's probably 121 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a fine coming down, But heck, where do 122 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: you start from? A an exs and o standpoint because 123 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: right now there's a lot of going on wrong with 124 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: this team offensively, defensively. I think it starts in the trenches. 125 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: But I want to see where you lie. Well, look 126 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: the mirages. The mirage is over. I think you really 127 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: see that guys are just they don't have the talent 128 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: to get it done. And you hear coach Mike McCarthy 129 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: talking about going back to basics. To me, that's this 130 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: code word for you know, I have some incompetent guys, 131 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: and it's hard for me to believe that guys are 132 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: incompetent that have played in this league for a while. 133 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: Our offensive line manage, we talked about it. The defensive 134 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: line for the Washington football team was going to come 135 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: after Andy Dalton and they did six sacks, a couple 136 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: of strip sacks also, I mean they were all over him. 137 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: But we couldn't establish anything. And that's the one thing 138 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: about it that really is frustrated. Where do I mean, Kyle, 139 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: you ask me from an excent old standpoint, where do 140 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: you start with that when you're not getting anything that 141 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: you can at least hang your hat on to say 142 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: we established the run, well, established the past, We'll establish 143 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: our run defense, we'll establish our pass defense. We have 144 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: none of that. So I mean maybe we should go 145 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: to Rob. Rob can tell us because I have no 146 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: answer for what I saw yesterday. No sorry, guys, I 147 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: got knocked off there. They have nothing that they can 148 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: lean on right now. And you said it on offense. 149 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: They can't run it, they can't throw it, they can't 150 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: sustain drives, and they have to be able to do 151 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: that because right now that's their only chance. Defensively, nothing 152 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: really has improved tangibly since the start of the season, 153 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: and until they get that fixed. And at nine games in, 154 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, seven games in, with nine to go, you 155 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: wonder how much better it's going to get. But they 156 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: don't have anything offensively they can get to despite the 157 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: fact they're missing their quarterback. It's the offensive line, it's 158 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: really everything. And then you throw on top of what 159 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: you guys just talked about. Injuries are one thing. Injuries happen. 160 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: Injuries don't have to define your season. They're not defining 161 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles season right now. They're in first place 162 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: right now. They're not a great football team, but you 163 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: watch what they're able to do, fight back, stay in games, 164 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: Carson wentz. It helps having your quarterback, but they're they're 165 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: an example of a team that is still out there fighting. 166 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: And it's not just us saying it, it's the player 167 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: saying it. DeMarcus Lawrence said it after the game. We 168 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: need more fight, we need more belief. That's coming from 169 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: the players. It's not just us, uh saying that based 170 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: on what we see on the field. And until that changes, um, 171 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: this is this is going to continue. There's only three 172 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: losing teams, only three winning teams left on their schedule. 173 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: But you know, based on what we've seen, guys, that 174 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You know, if you you you come out 175 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: and you play and you you fail to execute the 176 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: way they've done consistently in games, there's gonna be more 177 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: of the games like this. It's just going to continue 178 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: for the rest of the season if they don't get 179 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: it cleaned up. Hey, Rob, you and you mentioned man, 180 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: I know it. Cole might have this on his list. 181 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: I gotta do my chest. Everybody's up here making excuses 182 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: time about oh, you know, Dak is the leader of 183 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: this team, and Dak is our guy. And guess what, 184 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: absolutely correct, Dak is your guy, no question about it. 185 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: No replacement is going to is going to do exactly 186 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: what he did. I have been the first one to 187 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: stand up here and say Andy Dalton is a dude 188 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: and he should have no problems stepping in and for 189 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: filling a roll. I still believe that because everybody wants 190 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: to put the blame on Andy Dalton yesterday, right even 191 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: before he got knocked out. This is not an Andy 192 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: Dalton thing. I don't care what quarterback you would have 193 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: put in that game yesterday, they would have got destroyed. 194 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: And yes, dak Mann, it might have avoided a couple 195 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: more plays and got out there and throw the ball 196 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: out of the pocket a couple more times. Andy Dalton 197 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: was nine for nineteen before we getting knocked out, nine 198 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: for nineteen, and here was five drops from one player, 199 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,599 Speaker 1: and I think there's another drop of somebody else. So 200 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: had those guys come count those balls, Andy Dalton would 201 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: have been fifteen of nineteen, fifteen of nineteen. So don't 202 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: make this an Andy Dalton thing, right. This was all 203 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: around just terrible performance across the board. And for people 204 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: that want to make excuses about the quarback player, I 205 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: don't care if there's any Dalton, I don't care IF's Denucci. 206 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: I don't care if there's a dog gone, Rob Phillips 207 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: get in there. You take some snaps too. These guys 208 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: were ineffective in every aspect of the game. If we 209 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: dropped back and throw the ball, guess what. When we 210 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: did throw the ball, they were dropped. When we did 211 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: run the ball, we got stuck. When we did get 212 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: a rush, guess what they took off. When they did 213 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: play a little bit of coverage, guess what they got 214 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 1: the ball off. It didn't matter what happened. We were 215 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: getting got in every aspect of this game, and we 216 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: kept doing the same things that we know that we 217 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: have been ineffective doing all year long. Offensive line couldn't block, 218 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: defensive line couldn't get a push. Secondary still trying to 219 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: somehow play man to man versus number one receivers. That 220 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: didn't work out too well. We keep doing the same things. 221 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: The definition of insanity is what doing the same thing 222 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: over and over again and expecting different results. That's what 223 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: these guys are doing. I don't know what their culture 224 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: or this team is. What is the culture and who's 225 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: the stem from. Let's let's not just sit up here 226 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: and say dak is the Heart and Solder team. And 227 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: now that Dad's gone, Oh man, you know one of 228 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: our guys is gone. We can't you know the rest 229 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: of these grown man who get paid to do a 230 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: job can't show up and do what they're supposed to do. 231 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: That's bs as an excuse. These twos need to wake 232 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: up and go plus the dog on ball. But Isaiah, 233 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: here's the thing too. Do you think they got on 234 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: the plane and flew all the way to DC to 235 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: get a butt whooping. It's no, they can't sell that. 236 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: They got it. They got it, they got it, But 237 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: there's a desired result of result. Anytime you line up 238 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: to play a football game and whatever's translating, and you 239 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: hear coaches say, oh, we had a great week of preparation. 240 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: Practice was lively. How is that not translating to the 241 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: football field. I'm not arguing with you. I'm just saying, 242 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: how does that piece not translate to play on the field. 243 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: When guys get into a situation like that first drive 244 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: from Washington, it was like, oh my god, here's a 245 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: team where they're saying they're giving you the numbers next 246 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: to lasting, Russian lasting and points per game, all of 247 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: these things they hadn't scored on an opening drive, and 248 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: here they are knocking on the door to score, and 249 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: it's just because they're in there. They're lifeless and they 250 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: had nothing even on offense. But we made them look 251 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: better than what they are. And I just don't get 252 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: where where's the disconnected, where's the discon this team whether 253 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: not taking this to the culture. What's the culture? What's 254 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: the culture? We talked about it yesterday, Kyle on the 255 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: pregame show. Right on the pregame show, we said, Hey, 256 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: this dog on quarterback right Alan, you guys are either 257 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: gonna make him look like he's just a dude, like 258 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: Nate talked to him and talked about yesterday. He's either 259 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: gonna look like just a guy or guess what, he's 260 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: one of the thirty two best quarterbacks in the world 261 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: right now, that's an NFL quarterback. NFL quarterbacks one of 262 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: the best in the world. So he's either gonna look 263 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: like a dude. We can make him look like that, 264 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: or we can make him look like he's one of 265 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: the best thirty two guys in the world. And guess 266 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: what we did yesterday. We made him look like he's 267 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: one of the best in the world. Okay, you can't 268 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,359 Speaker 1: disrespect the fact that everybody in this league as a professional. 269 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: They could either have a switch off and they could 270 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: just play like like I'm just here. I'm showing up 271 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: to do my job and get my check like some 272 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: people may be doing this year. Or you can show 273 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: up and say, guess what, I'm gonna get the same check, 274 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: regardless about ball out or not. But guess what, I 275 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: have pride about what I do, and I'm gonna show 276 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: up and knock somebody in the dog our mouth. Also 277 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: not to mention, what would I go for it? Rob? Well, 278 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: just sorry, Kyle. When I just watching this team, and 279 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: I think it's been referenced at points in the season 280 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: by members of the front office or the team itself, 281 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: I just don't see a team that's playing with any confidence, 282 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: very very little confidence. And it's almost like it's almost 283 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: like they're waiting for the next bad thing to happen, 284 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: you know. And we've heard them talk about adversity and 285 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: handling adversity. They've had plenty of adversity. Everybody has been 286 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: in the same boat in terms of no offseason. But 287 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: these injuries are a problem. There's no question it's limiting 288 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: what they can do. But how do you respond to that. 289 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: You know, they're not responding to bad things that happen 290 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: within games. And I think a perfect example is in 291 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: Isaiah and I talked about this at halftime at the Star, 292 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: right before the end of the half. They have a 293 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: good drive. They're putting a drive together. It's kind of 294 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: dink and dunk and they're using the running backs in 295 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: the flat, but they're making things happen. Washington is playing 296 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: their safeties back. They're playing kind of a too deep look, 297 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: and it's almost like they're forcing the Cowboys to continue 298 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: kind of this nickel and dime drive, waiting for them 299 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: to make a mistake. And you know what they did. 300 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: And that's been the story of this season. When something 301 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: can go wrong, it will go wrong. And when you're 302 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: not playing confidently. Mike McCarthy spoke to this after the game. 303 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: We're not cutting it loose, and basically, there's a fear 304 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: of making a mistake. If you're not playing fast and 305 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: you're not playing confidently, you're not going to have results 306 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: in this league. Because guess what, Isaiah can speak to 307 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: this better than anybody on the show. There is not 308 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: much difference between the best team in the league and 309 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: the worst team in the league since there became a 310 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: salary cap era in this league, it does. The records 311 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: do not matter. If you come into a game and 312 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: you do not show up and execute, you're gonna get beat. 313 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: And if you got if you got weaknesses on your 314 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: roster because of injuries, they're gonna go after them and 315 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: you better have an answer for it. And they just 316 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: have not had an answer for the adversity they have 317 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: faced within games and the seasons where they've really struggled 318 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Chris mentioned it before the show started. That 319 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: was the issue things went south. Didn't have your quarterback, 320 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: how do you respond? Didn't respond well enough? You went 321 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: for wealth. And I think you also look at it 322 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: from a standpoint of the only time that they have 323 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: let it loose, like all year long, throughout the seven 324 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: weeks that we've seen from this Cowboys team, the only 325 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: time that I think they've really let it loose and 326 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: played their game and not let an opponent dictate what 327 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: they're doing is probably whenever they were down by twenty 328 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: plus points and they had nothing else to lose, And 329 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: that was whenever you saw the comeback against Atlanta, and 330 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: you saw the game after I guess Dak Prescott got 331 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: hurt against New York and you finally were able to 332 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: kind of play your game. Those are the only times 333 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: that you can really point to this Cowboys team and 334 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: say they played with confidence. And it was not necessarily confidence. 335 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: It was more like desperation. And that's where it seems 336 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: like we are as a Cowboys team right now. It's pride. 337 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: It's pride, and you bring up a great point. Those 338 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: are the two references that I would touched on as well. 339 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: But it's pride. We keep using a term confidence. It 340 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: is a sense of pride in how you take your 341 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: approach to the game. I'm not going to allow somebody 342 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: to keep punching me in the mouth. If you guys, 343 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: walk on the sidewalk right now, somebody comes up and 344 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: pushes you, all right, they push me. I'm gonna let 345 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: them have that one right to push you again. At 346 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: a certain point, You're gonna snap, right at a certain point. 347 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: Everybody has different boiling on levels, right, but you're not 348 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: going to continue to allow somebody to keep pushing you. Right. 349 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: So that's what this That's what they were doing against Atlanta. 350 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: Guess what. They kept getting punched in the mouth and 351 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: they got for a certain point, they said, man, forget this, 352 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: let's go right and they showed up and it came 353 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: back and they fired off and they went down the field. 354 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: It had nothing. It had Obviously Dak was there, But 355 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: Dad has nothing to do with the determination and the 356 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: pride that each one of those other men have that 357 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: comes from internal. That is internal. That is a decision. 358 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: You show up the player, you show up not to play. 359 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: You decide to get beat on one player, decide not 360 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: to get beat on one play. After a certain point, 361 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: you have to decide that this is not gonna be okay. 362 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: And right now, and when I keep bringing up the 363 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: word culture, and we've talked about this in previous weeks, right, 364 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: we talked about this, What is the culture of this team? 365 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: When you face the Dallas Cowboys, what do you expect 366 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: to face? Right? Are you gonna walk out of the 367 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: beat up in brewe Are you gonna have to fight 368 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: a play a team that's not gonna give up? Right? 369 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: Are you gonna play a team that you know it 370 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: at some point in time, they're gonna they're gonna quit. 371 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: Right now, every team faces us, they know this team's 372 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: gonna quit at some point in the game. And are 373 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: you facing a team like specifically, are you facing a 374 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: defense that trusts each other, that trust each other to 375 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: make the right play and do their individual jobs to 376 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: make a collective like that. That's that's been the thing. 377 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: And you know, I know there's a lot of criticism 378 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: on Mike Nolan, and there's a lot of people out 379 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: there that want to change a defensive coordinator. But we 380 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: talked about this last week. The same stuff we've been 381 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: talking about defensively is the same stuff we heard last year, freelancing, 382 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: not trusting each other, not being an assignment sharp and 383 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: so coaching matters obviously, but it only goes so far. 384 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: And I know Lady Vandrea said after the game it's 385 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: not the scheme, Well, then it's got to be the 386 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: better execution together right together, And he caught it out right. 387 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: We talked about it last week, Hey, right, we talked 388 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: about how these are high school coverages, these are high coverages, 389 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: and Mike Nolan finally got tired of meat and like 390 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: I said, it's that dog on bottle that that that's 391 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: shaking up a dog on popcam right, or a bottle 392 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: a little bit comes out right. We heard Griffin talking 393 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: about it the first time, right about four weeks ago, 394 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: when I said, hey, well, he said, I'm not I'm not. 395 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: I'm a hand in the ground guy. Who woa WHOA. 396 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: We don't, we don't, we don't. You're not allowed to 397 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: say that. That's not something that you say when you're 398 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: on a team. Right, And we said we heard a 399 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: little bit, we heard it. We heard that a little 400 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: air get out right, and then we heard what then 401 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, be car all of a sudden 402 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: just gets released because he spoke up in in one 403 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: of the team meeting rooms. That's the rumor, right, and 404 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: he gets let go okay, okay, and then what oh, 405 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: now we have an anonymous insider for the teams talking 406 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: about the coaches. Oh it was you, it was you know. 407 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: You turn a bottle cap, you turn the bottom cap, 408 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: you let a little bit more out right. And then 409 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: finally coach Nolan's like, the heck with this, They're not 410 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna keep blaming me.

Man. These dudes are making excuses. Yeah, 416 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: And we talked about it in our own group message 417 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: yesterday when the video of Andy Dalton getting angry at 418 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: his offensive line on the sideline came out. Whenever Andy 419 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: Dalton was getting upset and getting red in the face 420 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: as red as he is hairwise, then that's whenever you 421 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: have some issues as in terms of anger and frustration 422 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: on that sideline, and in that I love to see it. 423 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: I did too. I like it. I like a little fire. 424 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: But at the same time, like you said, it's the 425 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 1: bottle cap. Somebody, if that's gonna end up happening, and 426 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: if the bottle CAP's gonna gonna explode at some point 427 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: pretty soon, or if it already has exploded, we don't 428 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: know what happened in that locker room.

And I feel like 473 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: that's the most frustrating part about this lost yesterday is 474 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: because even going into it, we had all had hope. 475 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: We had all had that kind of hope that it's, oh, 476 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: it's the division that's bad. We've had some injuries, we've 477 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: had this, we've had that. You lose twenty five to 478 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: three to a team that one had the worst rushing 479 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: offense in the entire NFL and they go off and 480 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: they rush for over two hundred yards against you. Two, 481 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: a team that had lost five games in a row 482 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: and they beat you by twenty two points. And then three, 483 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, a quarterback who had lost his last eight starts, 484 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: he comes out and shushes you in the cammera or 485 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: flashes up a first down whatever that finger was for 486 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: on the first down. He was taunting. Yeah, he was 487 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: taunting the camera. Whenever a guy who's lost his last 488 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: eight games as a starting quarterback in the NFL starts 489 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: taunting you on camera, that's when you've got an issue. Well, 490 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: that's all what happened yesterday. Glad you're with us. You're 491 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking cowboys, Rob Phillips, Isaiah Standback, Hecka Harris, and 492 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeoman's glad you're sticking with us.

Yeah, 496 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: we're just as just as angry as you guys are. 497 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: But i'd tease the question before the break and whenever 498 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: he comes to this loss, where do the changes need 499 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: to be made? We can talk about pride, we can 500 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: talk about coaching, we can talk about scheme all we want, 501 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: but ultimately it comes down to the players executing. And heckma, 502 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: they haven't executed. So where do we start in terms 503 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: of making some changes? I mean, you gotta start with 504 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: your front line. Your defensive line is just not the 505 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: guys that you signed that you thought were going to 506 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: be players for you. Uh, it's just not there. And 507 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: even you have to look at your linebackers too. I mean, 508 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: this it's not it's not even uh a strategy anymore 509 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: to leave Jalen one on one out in the flat 510 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: with a tight end or a running back. It's just 511 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: it's just you gotta stop right uh. Safeties, safeties. You know, 512 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 1: we've talked about this at length. The state the safety 513 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: we just don't have it at all. But I tell 514 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: you it was important the game yesterday, guys where I 515 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: saw my my, my rookie corner. He got upset with 516 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: Terry McLoughlin man a couple of punches being thrown out there. 517 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that's I like that. I like that 518 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: rook I like you showing that emotion. And then Terry 519 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: McLoughlin just drag racist. He gone for a was it 520 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: fifty two? Fifty six yard? And I don't you keep 521 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: going over the scheme. You keep going over why guys 522 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: are playing, you know, or they thinking too much. We're 523 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: just not getting that push up front. And Kyle Allen 524 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: yesterday was just able to comfortably step up in the 525 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: pocket and make some throws and when he needed to 526 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: make a play with his leg he was making plays 527 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: with his legs. Look offensive line wise, we can beat 528 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: these guys down, but this is not the group that 529 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: you anticipated you were going to have through the season. 530 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: We're down to third stream guys. Right. And if I 531 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: had told you before the season that this Sunday night, 532 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: Benda Nucci would be your starting quarterback, There's no way. 533 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: There's no way. That's the most twenty twenty thing to 534 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: ever happen, is that Bend de Nucci is gonna start 535 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: this Sunday. So I mean, you just you just I 536 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: don't know, Man, Penateller the donkey pick a spot wherever 537 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: you want to go on the defense. But you could 538 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: just pick whatever you want, all right, as far as 539 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: what we need, and that's where it needs to go. Man, 540 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: our defense is just at this point as a laughing stock. Rob. 541 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: I feel like fans want a major change, right, They 542 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: want something to kind of shake the foundation, and a 543 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: lot of people want to change a defensive coordinator. Mike 544 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: McCarthy has basically said he's not going to do that. 545 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: He said it has even crossed my mind to do that. 546 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: That's my curiosity is is that something that would actually, 547 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, shake things up and change a message and 548 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: serve as a wake up call for everybody or not? 549 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: Because I think he talks about staying the course, and 550 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: based on what we've seen for seven games now, yes, 551 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: something about the message from the coaching staff is not 552 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: getting through. But these are assignments that are missed and 553 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,959 Speaker 1: execution that is missed. And you know, like Heck mentioned 554 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: that the Treyvon Digs play, Look, he's not coached to 555 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: do that, to keep his eyes in the backfield on 556 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: the quarterback and not on a go route from the 557 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: from the by far the best receiving threat they have downfield, 558 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: you know, And so short of short of with the 559 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: trade deadline coming up and making a big move to 560 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: try to get somebody to help on your interior defensive line, 561 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what's really gonna change because there are 562 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: so and I said this last week, there are so 563 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: many things defensively that they've got holes to plug that 564 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: I don't know if one player makes a difference. And 565 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: I'm certainly not gonna screw up my salary cap um 566 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: based on the way things are going right now, and 567 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: saying one player is gonna make a big difference for 568 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: me isah um Jesus Um called his name. Yeah him, 569 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: listen up here, um. In terms of changes, okay, it's 570 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 1: not the decordinator. It's not the decordina. Your decordinator can 571 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: call the best schemes in the world. But guess why 572 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: players have to execute them. Um, it's not solely that. 573 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: Let me say that, I don't want to take full um. 574 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: I don't good point sponsibility off of his of him, 575 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: so it's not fully him. These these players, man um. 576 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: This is the reason why it makes as a former player. 577 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: It makes it these guys the way they're playing on this, 578 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: on this defensive front, in other positions as well, but 579 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: especially the defensive front. This is why owners, ownership general 580 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: managers hate guaranteed contracts. This is why they hate it. 581 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: They are making this is they're making players look terrible 582 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: and making an art case harder for guys that are 583 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: trying to go out and get guaranteed money. For this 584 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: exact reason. You can't get rid of Pole. I hear 585 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: everybody talking. I'll see you get everybody right now talking. 586 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: You can't get rid of Pole, you can't get rid 587 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: of Griffin, you can't get rid of any of these 588 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: veterans that you brought in. You know why, because after 589 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: the first week of the season, they're seeing their salaries 590 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: are gay around ted. They're going to get their money, 591 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: all right. So now that you have these guys and 592 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: they're going to get their money. Guess what they get 593 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: paid the same amount, whether they play hard, whether they're 594 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: effective or not, the check is the same. So when 595 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: you guys, so when you guys hear me talk about 596 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: guys are out there collecting a check, Guys are out there. 597 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: Literally there goes a million dollars right there. I'm gonna 598 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: go back to the house. I didn't get hurt. We're good. 599 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: This is a this is an evaluating league. And if 600 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: guys put in that tape out where they're not trying 601 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: at all, that's you're not doing nothing but messing up 602 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: for your future. And if this is this is the 603 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: last this is a last stop for you, then this 604 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: is a last stop for you. But all I'm saying 605 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: is if you don't have if they could talk that 606 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: scheme stuff, all they want to losing, contain what team 607 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: have we stopped from getting around the outside? I will wait, 608 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: we have teams. So just I mean, we made Scott 609 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: Turner look like the next boy genius. He may get 610 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: a head coaching job based off of what he was 611 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: able to do yesterday and probably not. But still, how 612 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: do we come into every week where offensive coordinators are 613 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: able to just have their full catalog of plays that 614 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: they want and that's what they're doing versus So, look, 615 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: these guys that you're saying that are guaranteed contracts, they're 616 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: gonna get paid tomorrow morning, whether the sun rises or not. 617 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: That's on nim. And if you don't have that pride 618 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: in yourself, if you can't take that as a man 619 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: and say, this is my job, this is how I 620 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: feed my family to do this, and you're put in 621 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: that bas tape out there, then dog, you don't have 622 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: no hard man. And again and I repeat, this is 623 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: the reason why ownership tends to not to go with 624 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: veterans because you have to pay veterans guarantee money. And 625 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: guess what, veterans aren't worried about the future. Heck, most 626 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: most veterans are at this point in their career. They're 627 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: not worried about the future. They're worried about that check. Right, 628 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: So you've got some guys that are gonna have pride. 629 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: We keep using the I keep using that term today. 630 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: You either have the pride to show up and play 631 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: because you're getting the same check regardless. So pride is 632 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: what drives you to be successful in the field, or 633 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: guess what as ownership as general matters as a scouting department, 634 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: like we've said in the past, you have to go 635 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: get some dogs, whether they're vets or not, most likely 636 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: vets that have a drive and a work ethic and 637 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: a tenacious approach to the game at like no other. 638 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: And there are still guys out there that we have 639 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: passed on that will bring that regardless of what their 640 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: locker room issues may be, because obviously we got locker 641 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: rooms in locker rooms anyway, So bring some duza here 642 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: that are gonna give you one thousand percent and that 643 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: are gonna demand that of other guys around them. Any 644 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm not saying no names, Okay, Yeah, At what point 645 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: do you just kind of lean into the locker room 646 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: stuff and be like, well, you know, it is what 647 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: it is, shouldn't get any worse. So but yeah, to 648 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: heck much to your point, like the full compliment, the 649 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: full menu of plays that opposing offenses have, it's the 650 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: run defense. It's the run defense. And until that changes, 651 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: this is gonna be the same story every week. They're 652 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,239 Speaker 1: gonna be on skates because they're gonna be on their 653 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: heels because they can't. They're allowing offenses to dictate whatever 654 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: they want to do offensively and two hundred and eight 655 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: more yards. That that was the issue, Mike Mike McCarthy said, 656 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: the gap integrity, the gap control was a little better, 657 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: but the first place set the tone carrying defenders within 658 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: yards after contact. So if it's not one thing, it's 659 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: the other. And until they get that fixed, like White 660 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: Isaiah said, with pride, with toughness, more toughness, this is 661 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: gonna continue no matter who they're playing, and they're playing 662 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: a lot of bad teams coming up below average team 663 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: is based on record, but it's not going to make 664 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: any difference, no like the Washington football team. Yeah, I 665 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: was about to say, you're you're looking at I think 666 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: teams are looking at the Cowboys now as an opportunity 667 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: to get back on track now kind of based off 668 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: of what all three of you guys just said, And 669 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: you're talking about basically one of two things here, or 670 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: I guess one of three things. One is you just 671 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: sit pat, which is probably the most likely to happen, 672 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: which is extremely frustrating to every Cowboys fan. However, there's 673 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: two other options. There's either you cut a player and 674 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: just eat the money, and you just cut your losses 675 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: and say we're sending a message. I think that's probably 676 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: the second most likely thing, because the third one is 677 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: trade for draft picks. Who's gonna trade a draft pick 678 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: for what we've seen on film right now? Nobody's gonna 679 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: come in draft picks right now. Draft picks. Also, not 680 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: to mention, there's a lot more problems than one draft 681 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: gonna fix in this football team at the moment. There's 682 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: not gonna be one draft where you're gonna go out there. 683 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: We had a fantastic draft as Cowboys Nation in this 684 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: past April. We can see what that's turning into. Yeah, 685 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: we've got Ceedee Lamb, treyvon Diggs, Neville Gallimore. Those guys 686 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: are fantastic and they're going to continue to get better 687 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: and they'll be game changers at some point. But whenever 688 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: it comes to a draft, even if you have the 689 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: best draft out of the thirty two other NFL teams, 690 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna take two or three of those put together 691 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 1: before you start seeing some success. And the Cowboys haven't 692 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: seen success yet because of the fact that you have 693 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: so many different holes. It's not gonna take one draft class. 694 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: And even if it did, you're not gonna get those 695 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: picks from other teams for guys like Dontari Poe. Dontry 696 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: Poe couldn't go for twenty bucks in a soda pop 697 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,479 Speaker 1: right now, like that's it wouldn't work at the moment 698 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 1: in terms of the film that he's put on tape. 699 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: It's frustrating. Well, sorry, hey go ahead, No, I go 700 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: for it. No, I was just as far as the future, 701 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: As far as the future is concerned, you can't. You 702 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: can't trade away your future right now for anything. If 703 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: there was a sign, if we had gone out and 704 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: won that game yesterday, and you see yourself in a 705 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: position or at least feel as though this team is 706 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 1: gonna make a move on winning the division, the playoffs, 707 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: any of that, then maybe you start considering. But right now, 708 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: this is a lifeless team and it doesn't you're gonna 709 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: bring somebody in on your nightmare. You just I think 710 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: you save all of your picks. That's just my opinion. Man. 711 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: You've got I guess a week plus left until the 712 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: trade inline. I think it's November third. I wouldn't necessarily 713 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: rule it out that they do something, but like I've 714 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: been saying, I don't, I don't think one player is 715 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: gonna make a huge difference. And what I guess to 716 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: explain what I was saying earlier, I wouldn't because we 717 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: don't know what the CAP's gonna be next year. It's 718 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: gonna drop. I don't think there's any question about that. 719 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: I don't think you can take on a player in 720 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 1: the situation like a Maori was, where he's gonna require 721 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: a large, large deal soon. I think it would have 722 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: to be. It'd have to be a younger player with 723 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: years left on his deal that could still help you. 724 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: And but but again, even doing that, I don't know 725 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 1: what difference it's gonna make in terms of really turning 726 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: this thing around defensively, Rob. Anybody's sitting at home right 727 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: now that is worthy of getting on the team and 728 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 1: making an immediate impact will take a lot less money 729 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: than what they typically would take for a one year deal. 730 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: They will come in here and take less money for 731 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: what are we in now? How many games? We gotta have? 732 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: Nine games? They'll come back and pay these cats for 733 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: nine games to come out here and let them prove 734 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: themselves for an opportunity for next year. That's what you 735 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: do with veterans who are in a position of these 736 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,240 Speaker 1: guys who are sitting at home right now, and there's 737 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: still good talent out there that's sitting at the crib 738 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: that will come in here and compete. That's what this 739 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: team is lacking right now. Competition and all that comes 740 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: from pride, all that comes from heart, all these words 741 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: that you're seeing on the chat and everything else, that's 742 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: all rooted inside of you. And again, I keep going 743 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: back to, what is the culture of this team? What 744 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: can you count on when these guys show up and 745 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: play in a positive of light? What what can we 746 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: rest our hat on and say these guys are gonna 747 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: bring this every time they step on the field. I 748 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: don't know what that is. Do you guys hear him? 749 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: Do you guys hear Isaiah? Because even in where we're 750 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: going into week eight of the season, you're hearing the 751 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: themes and you're hearing the the reoccurrence of Earl Thomas, 752 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, Earl Thomas. He's not saying the name, but 753 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: he's he's he's definitely throwing it out there. He's still 754 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: trying to get that to happen. And will it to happen? 755 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: I don't that Anonymous sources source stamp. Yeah, or it's 756 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 1: it's not. It's not just him, it's is it is. 757 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean, at a certain point, you just got to 758 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: recognized we don't have we don't have a culture, and 759 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: the culture is very important, very important. You guys, there's 760 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: nobody on this on this on this podcast right now, 761 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,720 Speaker 1: can name one one team that has a good record 762 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: that doesn't have a culture. I think the only one 763 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: that we could probably name is Chicago. We just don't. 764 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: We don't see them enough right to know what the 765 00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: heck's going on with them. Every other team we would 766 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: that we were referenced Baltimore radis. We know what they are, 767 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 1: the city, we know what they are. Right, Hey, Baker 768 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: Mayfield's gonna dance on you, right, he showed right, And 769 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,759 Speaker 1: all these people are talking about, hey, let's get rid 770 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: of coach, right, let's get rid of one of our coaches. 771 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: Lets get rid of the Cartha, let's get rid of Nolan. Hey, 772 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: the Falcons got rid of their head coach. And guess what, 773 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: they still gotta had to come back on them yesterday 774 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: though they were but shots at the Falcons and you 775 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: know what, you know what, and you're right because you're 776 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: you're talking You've been in a lot of different spots 777 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: where there was a strong culture in the locker room. Yeah, 778 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: like you're speaking from experience in New England, Seattle, the Giants, 779 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 1: even you know, the Cowboys were very competitive when you 780 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: were here. So there there was a culture in that 781 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 1: locker room. Defensively too, So you're speaking from experience. Yeah, 782 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: and I Rock and you were here. Catch was fighting. 783 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: We were having fights in practice. In practice. If somebody 784 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: got a route ran on him, guess what pac Man 785 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: was calling them back to was calling them back, right, 786 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,839 Speaker 1: it didn't matter. Brady James was calling them back, Jay 787 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: Ratlin right, Marcus spears like. There wasn't there at every 788 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: level on both sides of the ball. It was not 789 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 1: going to be okay that I was beat not acceptable. 790 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: And we're talking about practice, practice, okay, practice to the field, yeah, 791 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: not a game. We're talking about practice. And that was 792 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: the culture. If you got, if you got, if you 793 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: got punked in practice, then you were gonna get shown up. 794 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: They were gonna put you on film right in practice, 795 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: because as you should be embarrassed to show up like that. 796 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: Don't you even think about bringing that mess to the game. 797 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: It's been frustrating, it's been embarrassing, and we're continuing to 798 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,720 Speaker 1: break it down.

They've got a 848 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 1: road game again against the nfcast faux Philadelphia. And while 849 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: this just feels absolutely wrong to say, it's completely the truth. 850 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: And Isaiah brought it up, and Heckman brought it up 851 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: during the break, But guys, even at two and five, 852 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 1: you're still completely in this division. Now, I just wanted 853 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: to throw that out there. I'm not going to go 854 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: into it because it is frustrating and I'm angry and 855 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to even want to talk about the 856 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: Silver linings. But you're still in there, Isaiah, you really 857 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 1: are right now, Rob, Rob feels like the furthest thing. 858 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,439 Speaker 1: It feels like the furthest thing away from your grasp 859 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: right now, and everyone really does. Everybody's frustrated, everybody's angry, 860 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 1: and it seems like this this season is terrible. Your 861 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 1: most people are talking about, Oh, let's play for a 862 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: top five pick. Listen up, this this season can It 863 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,879 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it will. But this season can turn 864 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: around and they can't get in the playoffs and they 865 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: can make a run because these guys still have the 866 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: guys I know. Heck, I'm just talking facts. You know. 867 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 1: I don't I take I take a motion out of things. 868 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: These are the facts. They still have a shot, even 869 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,359 Speaker 1: though it feels like they shouldn't and they don't. There's 870 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: there's a cowboy fan. There's a cowboy fan out there 871 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,399 Speaker 1: that just said, every time I try and get out, 872 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: you pull me back in. He just back. I feel 873 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: like that ropes get a little thinner in the middle. 874 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: I just feel like those strings are barely holding on 875 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:56,439 Speaker 1: at this point. Rob. I mean, oh, the streets are slick, Yeah, 876 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: the roads are slick. There icy Yeah, No, it. You're right, 877 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 1: And the truth on no matter is they can make 878 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: a decision. The light could come on and these guys 879 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: go out there with reckless abandon Kyle Allen was an 880 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: undrafted quarterback. Let's not act like this guy was a 881 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: first round guy, all right. He was playing behind a 882 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: offensive line that was second and third string guys just 883 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: like us. So, I mean, how were they able to 884 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 1: do what they did versus? The question still begs we 885 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 1: have to get that answer. Why is this defense that 886 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,800 Speaker 1: is full of first round draft picks and guys that 887 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 1: we've seen do it on other rosters on other teams 888 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,879 Speaker 1: not doing it here? So I mean, look, we could 889 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 1: beat ourselves over the head with this question all day long. 890 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: But when they go out there and put the tape 891 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: out there that they don't give a damn about it, 892 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 1: what are we arguing about? Do you know what this said? 893 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: This is the concern I have because you guys are right, 894 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,239 Speaker 1: they're not. Technically, they're not out of it. No, but 895 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 1: Washington's gonna hang around this race because everything starts up front, 896 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: and they've got a d line that can screw up 897 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: a game, screwuping off and some games fan that can 898 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 1: keep them in games. Philly still has their heart and 899 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,600 Speaker 1: soul in terms of offensively. You know, even when things 900 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,799 Speaker 1: are breaking down around them, Carson Wentz is still fighting, 901 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 1: still trying to make things happen. And the Giants don't 902 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,320 Speaker 1: look now, but they're getting better. They're not good, but 903 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: by the time they face the Cowboys after January first, 904 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 1: they might be a competitive football team. So the other 905 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 1: three teams in the division are getting better and are 906 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: fighting through things. The Cowboys are not. Now that can change. 907 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,359 Speaker 1: But we're almost halfway through the season, fellas, and there's 908 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 1: reaches a certain point where is it going to change? 909 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 1: What kind of season do you want to have? Do 910 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 1: you want to let it keep going this way or 911 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 1: you want to make a change. They're at a tipping 912 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 1: point right now, while and it starts today, rap and start. 913 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 1: I totally agree with you, guys. I'm probably the least 914 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,959 Speaker 1: optimistic guy because you guys know, I deal with facts. 915 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 1: I don't deal with emotion, right, But I could tell you, guys, 916 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: when I went to go join a New York Giants 917 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 1: team right in twenty eleven, it felt like this, right, Yeah, 918 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you from it felt like this, right, 919 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: What happened eleven. I walked away with a ring, right. 920 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: I walked away with a super Bowl ring, right, because Hey, 921 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 1: the light switch came on. And I'm just telling you 922 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 1: guys from experience, it felt like this. It felt hopeless. 923 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,919 Speaker 1: It felt like the season was done. Oh my gosh, 924 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 1: start thinking about next year, and I guess what. You 925 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 1: win a game and cast get a little okay, hold on, hell, okay, 926 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,840 Speaker 1: that's that's who we are. And guess what. Boom? You 927 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 1: win another game. It's like, oh shoot, let me pull 928 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: out the good suits. Then let me button this button up, 929 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And he guess what in 930 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: this swag comes back? And then and then guys play 931 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: like that like you expected them to play whenever you 932 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: put it on paper, whenever you formulated this team. So 933 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,879 Speaker 1: there's a chance I am not the guy, but I'm 934 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: telling you the way things are set up right now, 935 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,840 Speaker 1: a losing record is going to win this division. A 936 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,800 Speaker 1: loser record is gonna win this division. So it's frustrated, 937 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 1: as mad, as hopeless as everybody feels. Right now, this 938 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,720 Speaker 1: can turn around. Now it's up to them to decide 939 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: if if it is or not. But this can turn 940 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 1: around because on paper, these guys are dudes. They haven't 941 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 1: played dudes. But I'll tell you it's a light switch. 942 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 1: Whether they gonna cut it on or all, we're gonna see. 943 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: So three things based off of that to close the show. 944 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,319 Speaker 1: First Off, you're right, I think a losing record will 945 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,360 Speaker 1: win this division. But even to obtain a seven and 946 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 1: nine record, the Cowboys have to win five of their 947 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 1: next nine games and go five and four the rest 948 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,959 Speaker 1: of the way. So with that being said, you're still 949 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,680 Speaker 1: going to you still have a long way to go 950 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 1: in terms of getting a winning record to get to 951 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs a little bit later on. Secondly, I'm not 952 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,879 Speaker 1: going to discount what you just said, but no team 953 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 1: has ever made the Super Bowl after starting two and 954 00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 1: four or two and five, and the Cowboys are of 955 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 1: course in that boat at the moment. And Isaiah, I 956 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,560 Speaker 1: don't know about your New York Giants team in twenty eleven. 957 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 1: I don't know how they started through the first seven weeks, 958 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 1: but I know it wasn't two and five. I'll tell 959 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,400 Speaker 1: you that much before they getting on a run and 960 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,319 Speaker 1: finding their way. But I just think overall, it's disappointing 961 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,839 Speaker 1: and there's much more that we need to break down 962 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,399 Speaker 1: XS and OZ wise, We're gonna do that tomorrow. It's 963 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 1: fans on the fifty Tuesday, so sending your fans are 964 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,400 Speaker 1: out today and tomorrow on the Parishcape stream. But that 965 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,439 Speaker 1: is gonna do it here for Talking Cowboys today once again, 966 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 1: forty five minutes not enough to contain this show, because man, 967 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 1: we've got a lot more to talk about following the 968 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,399 Speaker 1: twenty five to three loss to Washington yesterday. But we'll 969 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 1: be back tomorrow for Heck Harrison, for Rob Phillips, who 970 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: are Isaiah stand back and Chris Beam holding it down 971 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 1: in the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman saying so long from 972 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,760 Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco. We'll see you tomorrow on Talking Cowboys. 973 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 974 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
