Speaker 6: So today we're talking about the Cowboys big win yesterday

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 6: they beat the Carolina Panthers thirty to fourteen, a team

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 6: that I think going into the game we all had

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 6: a certain amount of respect for despite their record, because

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 6: of how closely they played some really good teams. But

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 6: the Cowboys go in and really in the second half just.

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: Lower the boom on them.

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 6: What would you guys say is the storyline coming out

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 6: of this game?

32
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: We'll start with you Nick.

33
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 8: The Carolina Boys, being that there were a lot of

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 8: Carolina natives that really showed out in this game. We

35
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 8: could start with Rico Dowdle, who's from Ashville, North Carolina,

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 8: just about ninety five miles west of Bank of America Stadium.

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 8: Another career day for him, one hundred and forty nine yards.

38
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 8: He didn't get into the end zone. He's actually starting

39
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 8: to laugh about that in the postgame pressers now. He's like,

40
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 8: I don't know when these touchdowns are going to come

41
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 8: along with these yards here are coming along. But you

42
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 8: start with Rico Dawdle, then you look at brock Hoffman.

43
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 8: He played seventy two snaps at center yesterday, didn't allow

44
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 8: a pressure. According to PFF, I don't know what's going

45
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 8: on over there. Next gin, I see, this is just

46
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 8: wild kid.

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: Okay.

48
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 7: I was like this is wild to me.

49
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: At this point, but.

50
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know I was like, we need to have

51
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 8: some sort of like synergy at this point.

52
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 9: We need to kick it one time.

53
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, we did one time. We did one time.

54
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 8: But he played a phenomenal game at center and being

55
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 8: able to help this offense account for four hundred and

56
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 8: ten yards. Then you look at Israel mccuamu another or

57
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 8: he went to the University of South Carolina. He had

58
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 8: an interception there in the second half. And then Jalen

59
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 8: Brooks he's a native of North Carolina, I believe Hickoryville,

60
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 8: North Carolina, and he had his first career touchdown in

61
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 8: the third quarter. So it was the Carolina Boys for me.

62
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 8: They got it done in a homecoming game for them.

63
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 9: Ran the ball fifty seven of the time yesterday, Boys

64
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 9: and girls.

65
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that kind of magical when you do

66
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 3: stuff like that. You know, turnovers were a big part

67
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: of this game too, you know, the pressures, the turnovers.

68
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: Mike Zimmer did a really nice job of disguising some

69
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: coverages and kind of creating some kind of muddy looks

70
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: for the young quarterback who had been playing pretty well

71
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: against pressure. But we knew going in there was gonna

72
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: be some issues with this offensive line. When it came

73
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: to movement, when it came.

74
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 9: To how they were going to be able to adjust.

75
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: Cowwych did a great job up front, the front seven,

76
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: the way that they played, getting after the Panthers offensively.

77
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 3: But I like I led off with the ability to

78
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: take Rico Daddle and run him as much as they

79
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: were able to against the defense that just wasn't good

80
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: when it playing the run. Finally, go in there and

81
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: take advantage of somebody say, you know what, hey, if

82
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: you're one of the worst teams in the league or

83
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: worst defenses in the league, play in the run. Well, here,

84
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: have a few more carries, have a few more yards

85
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: added to your total. And you know that's what Dallas

86
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: was able to do. Ran twenty more plays than what

87
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: Carolina did as well, and I think that helped you

88
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: in the win.

89
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: I know we're going to get into both sides of

90
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: the ball and Cooper Rush. He's definitely not the player

91
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 4: of the game for me in this game, but we've

92
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 4: criticized him so much throughout weeks for criticism, but I've

93
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 4: got to give him some props in this game because

94
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 4: this this pipe, this pie, the mistake him fumbling the

95
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: ball in the second half, right off the bat they

96
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 4: came back, and I saw him being a more confident guy,

97
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: like being able to move around a little bit. He

98
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: ran a little bit, nothing crazy, but he's like, oh

99
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: he moves okay. So he was able to keep.

100
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 7: His three touchdown game for career.

101
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 10: Gimy Cooper, but I mean, no, you're right, am I wrong?

102
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: Credit for him for what he did and just being

103
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 4: able to build that connection even with Ceedee Lamb another

104
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 4: guy that showed out yesterday, being able to get more

105
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 4: clean in his game and having I saw him have

106
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 4: more awareness of the field and while was currently happening,

107
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: which is something that he has struggled with throwing the

108
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: ball at times where you're like, what are you looking at?

109
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: Who are you throwing it to? What are you thinking?

110
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 4: And he was just he showed to be more decisive

111
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 4: in his game.

112
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 3: Ball went down the field more, and I think the

113
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: ball went down the field more yesterday because Carolina plays

114
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: off coverage. They don't play up on top of you.

115
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 3: And as matter of fact, if you look in this game,

116
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: and I was curious about Lamb and how they played,

117
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: Lamb Horn played in press coverage fifty percent of the

118
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 3: time on the other side of the field, not one snap.

119
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: And if they're gonna give you free access and routes, yeah,

120
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: ball needs to go down the field, you know, if

121
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: they're gonna let you run and mesh and cross and

122
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: deep cross. And you talk about Cooper rush moving. You know,

123
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: the touchdown past that he threw to Tolbert was they

124
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 3: were trying to throw the ball to Cooks.

125
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 9: They were going to Cooks on.

126
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: The wheel and it got covered and he moved still

127
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: did a great job of pinning his guy inside, but

128
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: that allowed Tolbert to come all the way across the

129
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: field to get the ball. So that you're talking to

130
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: your point amber about the ball. You know, seeing the field,

131
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: you know he's thinking one spot, but it turns into

132
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: a deep over route and he makes a Tolbert made

133
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: a nice play on the catch. Yeah, Cooper made a

134
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 3: good throat to get it to him.

135
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's dive into that offense a little bit more.

136
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 6: Cooper had yesterday was eighteen of twenty nine, sixty two

137
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 6: percent completion rate, two hundred and fourteen passing yards, three touchdowns,

138
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 6: zero interceptions, a one.

139
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: To nineteen rating.

140
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 6: And I'll be honest, I was I was kind of

141
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 6: Ambert mentioned it.

142
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: By halftime, I was a little bit kind of.

143
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 6: A little shaky with with Cooper just because of the

144
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 6: funnel right before halftime.

145
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: You had a clear opportunity.

146
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 9: Kind of a guiding in the penalties that he gets. Yeah,

147
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 9: you get mad at him for that, Yeah, and it

148
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 9: makes you such.

149
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 2: A good half.

150
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 6: And then all of a sudden and I quite frankly,

151
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 6: I don't even know on that play was he supposed

152
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 6: was out of play?

153
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 11: Where he can't you can't situation like I think you

154
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 11: had the ball off.

155
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 12: Yeah.

156
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: No, in the notes I said, because I couldn't tell

157
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: from the end zone copy what really happened. You see

158
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: him kind of present the ball and then it's kind

159
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: of like at the mesh point they're bumping into each

160
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: other and then the balls on the ground. I'm like,

161
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: just hand him the damn ball. On third and one,

162
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: he's gonna get the first down. And now you keep playing.

163
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: And ran for thirty matter of fact that they were

164
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: gonna throw a league.

165
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 9: They were gonna throw it to first and he's gonna.

166
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: Cold, his fingers were cold.

167
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: Hand the ball off.

168
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 6: I think I think what we saw in that game

169
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 6: as well, they were running the ball in a third

170
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 6: and one. In that situation with the close to the

171
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 6: end of the half, run the like why not?

172
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: Why not run the ball? And again I don't know

173
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: the play.

174
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 6: I don't know if it was a check where he

175
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 6: decided or a situation where he had the option to

176
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 6: be able to do it. All I know is in

177
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 6: that situation, I was surprised that they didn't run the

178
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 6: right and you end up with a turnover. But that

179
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 6: all being said, as you guys look at his whole game,

180
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 6: not just that moment, but his whole game. What do

181
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 6: you think he was most improved this week over the

182
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 6: last few weeks that we've seen him play.

183
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 8: I will say the mobility factor, because you look at

184
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 8: the Tulbert touchdown. You look at the Brooks touchdown where

185
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 8: he's rolling out and he's throwing on the run, and

186
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 8: that Brooks a touchdown wasn't impressive. I was like, Okay, hey,

187
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 8: he's got a little swagger to him. Might call him

188
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 8: Cooper shisty going forward, but now looked he looked good.

189
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 8: He looked good on that throw. I liked him a

190
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 8: lot on that throw. But that's something that I feel

191
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 8: like I haven't seen from Cooper Rush and talking to

192
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 8: him after the game, he said he feels like he's

193
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 8: playing better football right now than he was in twenty

194
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 8: twenty two. I wonder what he would attribute that to.

195
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 8: I probably need to follow up on that this week.

196
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 8: But he does look confident at times, but then it's

197
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 8: that fumble stuff that he's just got to be able

198
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 8: to figure out. But I mean, you look at you

199
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 8: look at what he's what he's done from a game

200
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 8: management standpoint, I think he's managed this offense quite well.

201
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then then there's that can even you know,

202
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 3: the goodness, there's good things, and we've talked.

203
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 9: About the fumble.

204
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 3: I think enough, but he misses crossing routes, you know,

205
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 3: I mean, guys are open and he throws the ball

206
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: lower behind and you're and you're like, going.

207
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 9: Bro, just throw it in front.

208
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: And then he has even a better day even that,

209
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: the numbers look even better. You're moving the you're moving

210
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 3: the ball, you know, you're you're kind of you're getting

211
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: in some offensive rhythm and things. And I when he

212
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: throws the ball behind and low and when he's when

213
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: it's open, that drives me nuts with him. But I

214
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: will say this though, like I say that the touchdowns

215
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: that he had throwing, all of them.

216
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 9: Were really really good throws.

217
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 3: They really were, and it was you know, and the

218
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 3: one the CD was a really even though the ball

219
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: was probably a little short, and and the and the

220
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 3: safety didn't adjust all that well. CD did he knew

221
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: where the ball was, Safety didn't know. Richardson didn't know

222
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: where the or Fuller excuse me, Fuller didn't know where

223
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: the ball was, and and and CD mad made Cooper

224
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: look good on that one. But the other touchdown passes

225
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 3: were really really good.

226
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I looking at me, they were.

227
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: They were.

228
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 4: But again, adjustment creditude, like you said, CD and Tolbert

229
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 4: is the way that he made that.

230
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 7: Catch as well.

231
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 4: I think, uh, you're seeing just a better I think

232
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: it comes down to them practicing better and what they're

233
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 4: doing during the week. You can see that the preparation

234
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: was there, because previous weeks we've seen the lack of

235
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 4: connection between Cooper and the receivers, and I think this

236
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 4: week it just showed a more prepared offense.

237
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you hope this happens the next three weeks because

238
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: it's not going to be easy.

239
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna get it. It gets appreciably hard.

240
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 3: There's going to be times where you're gonna wish he

241
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: had an open receiver to throw to.

242
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah.

243
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 6: You know what's interesting to me is I don't know

244
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 6: that I believe that maybe what we're seeing, or what

245
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 6: we saw yesterday, what we've seen the last couple of weeks,

246
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 6: is really the fact that he is now back to

247
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 6: the same way.

248
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 4: Why did I say Tolber Brooks?

249
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 6: Was it a Brooks?

250
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: They all had at least one catch.

251
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: The other one.

252
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, shout outs to Brooks too, by the way, that's

253
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 4: another guy. The to Jalen that just kind of makes

254
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 4: in my head. But shout outs to him sometimes too,

255
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 4: I know, make it more confusing. But no, I thought

256
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 4: he the catch he made it was really good too

257
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 4: as well.

258
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was the thing about Cooper for me this

259
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 6: this week is I think what we're seeing is more

260
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 6: that it's back to what he had when we saw

261
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 6: him last as a starter, which is he's got a

262
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 6: great defense and he's got a running game that he

263
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 6: can rely on when you give.

264
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: Him those two things.

265
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 6: As you said, Brian, He's still not, in my opinion,

266
00:11:58,559 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 6: the greatest passer.

267
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: He's still gonna miss ros.

268
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 6: He has the fumble like, he still has these warts

269
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 6: in his game that, by the way, is probably the

270
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 6: reason why he's a backup quarterback versus being a starting quarterback.

271
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 6: But at the same time, he's good enough that if

272
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 6: you give him a really good defense and you give

273
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 6: him a good running game, and by the way, the

274
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 6: offensive play caller is a stude enough to keep running

275
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 6: the ball.

276
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 9: Well this game he was, Yeah, that's Sunday night.

277
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 11: But if you're willing to do that, if you're willing

278
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 11: to do that and take some of the pressure, I agree,

279
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 11: he can be adequate. And now I think that's what

280
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 11: we saw, and that's what we've seen here, is that

281
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 11: he can be more than enough to win if the

282
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 11: defense is playing game and you rely on your run game.

283
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: I totally agree. It pains me to watch them play

284
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: and like sit there and say, you got to take

285
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: advantage of this, you got to do And the fact

286
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: that they had more rushing yards than passing yards made

287
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: my heart feel good.

288
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 9: About this football team.

289
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: Yep, no doubt.

290
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: And people are now complaining to me, like, well, why

291
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 3: didn't they do this when Doug was in there? They

292
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 3: could have run the ball, you know, that's another question

293
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: for another day.

294
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 8: Jo Rico Dawell said the exact same thing almost yeah,

295
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 8: yeah in the lock.

296
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 7: Oh no, let me put the exact quote.

297
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 3: Because their offensive line I think is better now than

298
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: when it was though the right guard especially.

299
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: I agree. I agree.

300
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 6: Right now the offensive line is playing at a level

301
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 6: was not saying it in away the dudes banged up.

302
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 7: You're right, you're right right.

303
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 9: Baby needs to play it right. Baby needs to play

304
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 9: right guard next week.

305
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 7: Ryan in some respect, just show just kind of see

306
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 7: what it looks like.

307
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: It looks like, why not.

308
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm pulling up the exact quote from Rico Daudell.

309
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I'm trying to stop. Did your job, yes, yeah,

310
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 7: tell you what.

311
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: Let's do this. Let's go to our first break. When

312
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: we come back.

313
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 6: Uh, Nick will have that that quote for us, and

314
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 6: we'll get back to that.

315
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: Cowboys dot Com Radio.

316
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 13: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

317
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 13: cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

318

Speaker 6: Welcome back to second segment of the Break Life from

377
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,480

Speaker 6: segment brought to you at blockchain dot com.

379
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: All right, Nick, you had a quote for us, where's it?

380
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 8: Rico Daudell talking about not getting carries early in the season.

381
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 7: He said it was all about the rhythm.

382
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 8: Talking about the performance he had yesterday, I've been firm

383
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 8: on that since the beginning. It was all about the

384
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 8: rhythm and getting the attempts. I think we could have

385
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 8: always did it, but the timing is working right now

386
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 8: for us, Spicy.

387
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 9: I wish you would.

388
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 3: I wish you had just said it was coaching malpractice

389
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 3: that I did not get the ball.

390
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: More so fair yea, so true, But you know, I.

391
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 3: Just wonder, But you do you wonder if if you know,

392
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: they let's let's say Stell wasn't playing really good, Martin

393
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 3: was hurt. The center was a rookie, ye dude learning

394
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 3: the left guard at times, you know, sixty five plays,

395
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: three bad plays, you know, and then the left tackle

396
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 3: holds and gets lines up in the backfield and all

397
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 3: that stuff. They've they've there's some stability now with the

398
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: way that they're playing with that offensive line. Steele's playing

399
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: a ton better. It really doesn't matter who they put

400
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 3: it right guard now, but it's helped Steal with it

401
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 3: because it's a healthy body and those dudes are tough.

402
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: That was gonna be my question.

403
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 9: Do you think Poffman are tough guys?

404
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 6: Do you think that the right guard the challenges that

405
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 6: right guard, it hurts Steel.

406
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: It hurt them, and I think it I think Nick,

407
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 3: it might have hurt the center to a little bit,

408
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 3: you know. With with and this is gonna sound terrible

409
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: and I'm not kicking poor Martin White's down. And he

410
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 3: played he played a level that he played at a

411
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 3: like a human level, whereas before for all these years

412
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: he's played at this, yes, unbelievably high level. But when

413
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: they tried to do things, his inability to move, his

414
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 3: inability to show any power, you know, you watch, you

415
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: just go, just go watch the plays that Turpin got,

416
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 3: those the handoffs to Turpin and watch what they did

417
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 3: on that right side, and they had not done that.

418
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 9: All year long. Yeah, you know, and able.

419
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: To get guys fitted up and then get a block

420
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: from Ferguson and then you know, get out and get

421
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 3: the ball to the corner.

422
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 9: Did it twice? They like, they did the exact same play.

423
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 3: Twice to to Carolina with motion and Turpin in and

424
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 3: they're like, oh my god, they're gonna run the ball here,

425
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 3: I guess, and they couldn't stop it either time. That

426
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 3: That just shows you, though, how much better this offensive

427
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 3: line is playing.

428
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 4: And I don't fold them for this because even during

429
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 4: the beginning of the season, you would still take a

430
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 4: hurt sach Martin over whoever was behind him, Like it

431
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 4: was no question. You know his history, you know what

432
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 4: he's done, You're like, yeah, of course, that's a no brainer.

433
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 4: Just keep him in the game if he can play. Obviously,

434
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 4: over the course of the season you start seeing the

435
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 4: decline and then he gets to a point where he

436
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 4: finally gets taken out. But imagine the story being different

437
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 4: and the guy behind him is not as good and

438
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 4: these guys then it would have been like, oh.

439
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, here we go, here we go.

440
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 4: You gotta find you gotta draft somebody else or finding

441
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 4: new So it's one of those things that I can't

442
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 4: blame them, but in hindsight, I mean it turned.

443
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 9: To blame him. I think this is very reminiscent.

444
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: And I don't remember the year heck, I can't remember

445
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 3: what I had for breakfast, but I mean the year

446
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 3: that Ezekiel Elliott played with the bad knee. Remember, he

447
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 3: just they kept He kept playing and playing and playing

448
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: because he didn't want to come off.

449
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 9: He didn't want to he didn't want to let his

450
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 9: teammates down. But in reality it was hurting the team.

451
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: His his his inability to to play at a high

452
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: level hurt the team. And and that then the team

453
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 3: had so much respect for him that they're like, no,

454
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 3: we're going to keep him out there, keep him out there,

455
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 3: keep him out there, until finally it's like, well, wow,

456
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: that whole year went by and he played with Zeke

457
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 3: Elliott with a bad knee the whole year, and and

458
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 3: your your offense wasn't any good. So I again, Zach Martin, Hey,

459
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: I'm sorry that it happened this way, but by him

460
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: not being in the lineup and putting a healthier body

461
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: in there, just a healthier body has paid off dividends

462
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 3: for them running the football.

463
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 7: See we hear. Sorry, I was just gonna mention with

464
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 7: t J.

465
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 9: Bass.

466
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 4: Did we hear anything to have thigh?

467
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, a thigh. He was out for the remainder of

468
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 7: the game.

469
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,239
Speaker 9: Was I thought it was his thumb. I thought for

470
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 9: some reason they said it was his thumb, but.

471
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: It was thigh. And I'm like, okay, let's let's actually

472
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: talk about that.

473
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 6: I want to go a little deeper on the offensive line,

474
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 6: particularly on Hoff and Bass and Geiton, and tell me

475
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 6: how you thought they played because Chuma went down relatively

476
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 6: Was it first quarters?

477
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like it was first quarter.

478
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: It seemed like it was relatively early in the game.

479
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 6: But talk me about those particular three players and how

480
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 6: well they played having to come in and in situation

481
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 6: where where injuries forced them into the game.

482
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, I saw good things from Geydon and I haven't

483
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 8: really had major issues with what Geyton has done in

484
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 8: the run game over the course. So I would say

485
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 8: since the bye week and this this Panther's front. We

486
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 8: talked about it last week how they don't really generate

487
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 8: much pass rush, so that wasn't really a huge threat

488
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 8: at the at the end of the day. But I

489
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 8: felt like this unit as a whole played pretty well.

490
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 8: When you talk about Guyton, when you talk about Hoffman

491
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 8: and Bass, I mean they were paving running lanes. They

492
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 8: were keeping Cooper Rush clean. I think he only got

493
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 8: sacked one time. Did So it's you got to give

494
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 8: credit to this offensive line group. Actually wrote about it

495
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 8: last night. You got to give credit to Mike Solari too,

496
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 8: just for being able to play musical chairs with these guys.

497
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 8: Throw them in, still have production in the run game,

498
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 8: protect Cooper Rush.

499
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 7: It's it's paying dividends for this offense.

500
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 8: You see you see it, you see it coming together

501
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 8: for Rico Dawdle, and you got to give credits to

502
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 8: those guys up front for it.

503
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, they were, they they were.

504
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: They were on the on point yesterday when and Nick's

505
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 3: absolutely right. We mentioned it during the week. Hey, there's

506
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 3: going to be some things you could take advantage of,

507
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 3: and they clearly did. The the Panthers are not the same,

508
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 3: but the Panthers came into this game. We had a chance, uh.

509
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 9: You know, to to visit with Jake Lohm, who's there,

510
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 9: you know, the color analyst there for their.

511
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 7: Team and in the Ring of Honor too, would you

512
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 7: how about that Jake.

513
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 2: Well, he took them to a Super Bowl. I mean

514
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 2: it's a relatively young franchise.

515
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 8: And conversation because I have a beef with Ring of

516
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 8: Honors around the league. There's some guys in the Ring

517
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 8: of Honors from yes what exactly happened.

518
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 6: But I will say that at a franchise that, again

519
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 6: is relatively new, and they went to a super Bowl

520
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 6: and he was the quarterback of that team that went

521
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 6: to a Super Bowl, I think that's fair.

522
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 7: They just better put Cam Newton up there pretty soon then.

523
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 2: Yes, used to be in there, no doubt, have.

524
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 9: Like dom Capers in there and stuff like that.

525
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: Ran to Don yesterday, I ran chess box.

526
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 3: Did you see dom Capers, Yes, did you really see him?

527
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: How jet black was his?

528
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 2: I know, I know that was the first thing to

529
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: point out, like.

530
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 18: Not like he's got somebody in Charlotte that does a

531
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 18: great job with his hair because he's he's like very

532
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 18: very jealous of dom Capers a man, but he's got

533
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 18: he's got like jet black here.

534
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, Domo, Yeah have you seen the pictures?

535
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 6: Wow?

536
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, he just.

537
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 7: Looks like.

538
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 2: All on him like that, right.

539
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 9: But it was what we dom Caper, you.

540
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 7: Were talking to Jake somebody, Yes, Jake.

541
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 3: Delane, we got off. No, that was somebody Jake Colone.

542
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: Jake Delane was talking about. He was talking about and

543
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 3: and Greg Olsen the same way.

544
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 9: Greg. You know, we got a chances. Both of them

545
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 9: were like talking about like Carolina a lot of.

546
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 3: Positivity, a lot of positivity even though they'd had the

547
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 3: difficult losses against Tampa and Philly and and and then

548
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 3: you know, Kansas City, a lot of positivity and yesterday

549
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 3: was a two steps back for them, and that, you know,

550
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 3: but Dallas did a great job of taking it to them.

551
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 9: You know that something you're kind of well, maybe they

552
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 9: can do this. They didn't run the ball, didn't throw

553
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 9: the ball.

554
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 3: Well, they had one big play throwing the ball, and

555
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 3: that was a mistake that they that you made to

556
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 3: get them that opportunity. So, you know, tip of the

557
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 3: cap to Dallas for going in and beating up a

558
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: bad football team.

559
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 4: Also, Mike Zimmer and I know this was switches the

560
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 4: conversation a little bit, but you know, for a guy

561
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 4: that personally headed into training camp super excited about it,

562
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 4: looking forward to it, then the season starts and then

563
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 4: you're like, Okay, this is not really what I expected.

564
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 4: I thought it would be more. But then despite all

565
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 4: the challenges, all the injuries, week after week, you progressively

566
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: start getting in more fired up defense and positioning players

567
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 4: where they need to be to make them excel or

568
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 4: being better at their position, at their job, at their task.

569
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 4: And again, looking at all the players that have come

570
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 4: out and have had season ending injuries and all the

571
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 4: different type of adjustments that you've had to make, I

572
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 4: think a lot of credit to Mike Zimmer and also

573
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 4: every single player that is playing out there on the

574
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 4: field and not giving up all.

575
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 2: Right, here's the one.

576
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just need to continue my apology to os Digizuwa.

577
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 8: I'm just gonna make sure that that's mentioned every week.

578
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: Well it's not. Let's not get too far.

579
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 6: We're gonna'm gonna we're gonna take our final break here,

580
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 6: and I do want to talk about the defense. We're

581
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 6: gonna dive in because I think, to be quite honest

582
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 6: with you, I think the story of this game is

583
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 6: really the defense, and the defense is playing at a

584
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 6: at a level that we certainly haven't seen for most

585
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,239
Speaker 6: of this year. But I think we've got to give

586
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 6: a lot of kudos to a lot of guys on

587
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 6: that side of the ball. We'll come back and we'll

588

Speaker 13: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

635
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 13: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

636
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 13: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

637
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 13: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles pera.

638

640
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 13: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 6: Final segment of the break lift in s WBC Mortgage

650
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 6: Studios at the Star, Let's talk defense. Yesterday, the Cowboys

651
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 6: put together an outstanding game. They had six sacks, they

652
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 6: created four turnovers, They had ten quarterback hits, two forced fumbles,

653
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 6: two fumble recoveries, fourteen points allowed. That defense played I

654
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 6: think the best they've played all season. And then when

655
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 6: you look at what they did specifically against the running

656
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 6: attack of the Carolina Panthers, they held you Hubbard to

657
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 6: ten carriages for thirty two yards street point two average,

658
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 6: and then total of sixty yards rushing that they allowed

659
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 6: to their whole team. First of all, I start with

660
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 6: that rushing defense. What are your thoughts on the rushing defense,

661
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 6: particularly not just yesterday, but over the last few games,

662
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 6: when this has been a continuous story for them all season.

663
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 6: It seems like over the last few games things have

664
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 6: gotten a little bit better.

665
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 8: I had a little concern about the second level going

666
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 8: into this one, just because maricleaf I just hasn't had

667
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 8: their reps.

668
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 7: He was incredible yesterday. He was really really good stepping

669
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 7: in for to marrow the ball.

670
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 4: Him punching that ball out, Yeah.

671
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 7: That scared me a little bit.

672
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 9: Scared.

673
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 7: I was like, I just love.

674
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 4: When players like they're just not making like a random playoff,

675
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 4: let me tackle your what like they're actually going for

676
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 4: it and going after the ball for real.

677
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 8: He had said whenever he saw Bryce shown kind of

678
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 8: stumbling instead of sliding, he was like, well, I may

679
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 8: as well try it.

680
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: And he did punt it out.

681
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 8: He said he was surprised. He didn't even know he

682
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 8: punched out till he turned around and saw it on

683
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 8: the ground. And who recovered that.

684
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 7: I believe it was Neeland.

685
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 9: Kneelan yeaheel, So it was. There were five guys around

686
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 9: that ball.

687
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: By the way, Dallas had more players than than what

688
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 3: Carolina was dealing with. Yeah, thought of hustling getting over there.

689
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's really cool just kind of seeing the

690
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 8: hair come out of the helmet for Leafel and Kendricks

691
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 8: whenever they're in that second level and they're getting aturate

692
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 8: in the run game, they play more confidently when that

693
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 8: front is more confident as well, So it's just kind

694
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 8: of a trickle down effect and you're starting to see

695
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 8: the results of that. Also got to give Donovan Wilson

696
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 8: credit in the run game. In this one as well,

697
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 8: it was really just all three levels right in the

698
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 8: middle of that defense. I feel like they just all

699
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 8: play their assignments really well. That's what's worked over the

700
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 8: course of these last few games.

701
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you're actually guys like Massie Smith getting

702
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 3: off the ball.

703
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 9: We've talked about Osa.

704
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: You gave your flowers to him, your apologies to him

705
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: for what he's done. We went into this game kind

706
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: of feeling like they say their movement was going to

707
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 3: be a problem. Carolina just doesn't handle and Dallas. That's

708
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: one thing Dallas can do is they can move their

709
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 3: front and they can twist. They could bring linebackers. I mean,

710
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 3: Zimmer is a master of getting unblocked blitzers home.

711
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 9: You know he did it.

712
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 3: He did it yesterday with with with Jordan Lewis. They

713
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: tried to blitz from the right side with Lewis coming

714
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: from the defenses right and Carolina picked it up and

715
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 3: what did Zimmer do later in the game. He flipped

716
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: the blitz to the other side and ran the same

717
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 3: blitz and got it home. So he didn't give up

718
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: on it. It's like, damn, we worked on this. He

719
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 3: knew that he had a chance, So, you know, tip

720
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: of the cap for him, you know, with Micah, you know,

721
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 3: with Osa. You know, all these guys are playing Goldston,

722
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: they're doing a great job, and you feel like there

723
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 3: was going to be this huge drop off with marys

724
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 3: Leah fell in there and everybody, to a man and

725
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: a lady who worked in this building, we're just so

726
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 3: excited about drafting him, so excited. I mean, it was like, man,

727
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: we got this guy, We got this guy, And I'm thinking.

728
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 9: Man, you just cost me a running back, you know.

729
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 3: And that's what I but you know, hey, he's always

730
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 3: around the ball when there's turnovers, he's always around the ball.

731
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 3: When somebody knocks it half he gets half sack. And

732
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 3: since game balls on the ground, I mean he's around it.

733
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 2: He's in college.

734
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, he's always been that kind of guy.

735
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: And and uh, you know it looks like that that

736
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: they're really really paying off this secondary though. It's man

737
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that's you know, they're doing a great job.

738
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 3: I mean, Lewis has been great all year. You know,

739
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 3: it's bland having him back. Hooker got nicked up. You

740
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 3: mentioned wilsonan, But the cornerback spot now without digs that,

741
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: I think that's going to be the problem in the

742
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: next three weeks, you know, for your football team. And

743
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 3: I do worry about that. You know, tip of the

744
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: cap for the guys playing against this offense, but they're

745
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 3: gonna have three offenses coming up. It's going to be

746
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 3: a real challenge for them to have to deal with

747
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 3: that cornerback spot.

748
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 8: So the eighty three yard touchdowns haven't had a chance.

749
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 8: To go back and look at it from the live view,

750
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 8: it looked as though either Hooker over committed to the

751
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 8: underneath or Wilson was slow getting over.

752
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 7: But where was Warrior's responsibility.

753
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 3: I think what happened Ao was like he was sinking

754
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 3: and I asked somebody after the game, I said, hey,

755
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 3: can you help me here a little bit? Trying to

756
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: get educated what happened? He goes, we missed a check

757
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: all the way across. So they were supposed to be

758
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 3: a check in the coverages, so only half the defense

759
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 3: got to check in the secondary, and then it didn't

760
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 3: get all the way out to Ao.

761
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 9: So that's why when you watch.

762
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: It, you're gonna it looks like Ao's kind of playing

763
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: as a he's sinking. But I thought it was him

764
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 3: between him and Hooker. I thought hooker. I thought maybe

765
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 3: Ao had the flat and Hooker was going to carry deep.

766
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 3: But you got you got some guys kind of playing

767
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: different on one side. And to me, like I said,

768
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, cool. So they missed a check like

769
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 3: they were a mental mistake is what gave that one up,

770
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 3: is what.

771
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 9: I was told.

772
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 8: One of the best cornerback stats is getting on here

773
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 8: without a tackle sometimes, and Deron Bland did not have

774
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 8: a tackle in this game. It's because he was only

775
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 8: targeted one time and did not allow one reception.

776
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 7: So I got to give credits.

777
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 9: How about Lewis driving on that ball that got tipped.

778
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 9: Incredible that Kendricks made a play.

779
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 3: I mean, he's going and you see these guys they

780
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: hook the guy, then they get called for hooking and

781
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 3: then the hand being over man. He went around feeling

782
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 3: and like didn't even touch him, just kind of put

783
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 3: but you know again, it's a smart player. He's seeing

784
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 3: he's seeing uh you know, Young's eyes. He's looking right

785
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 3: at theling the whole time. He's like, if you're gonna

786
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 3: throw the ball at him, I'm about to drive on

787
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 3: this thing. He drove on it went around him without

788
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 3: hitting him and then knocked the ball up. Great job

789
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 3: by Kendricks just turning and then the ball being right

790
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: on him and then him being able to react and

791
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 3: make the play.

792
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, Lewis thinks he's gonna be good by the way

793
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 7: with the elbow.

794
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's the interesting about Jordan.

795
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 6: Jordan's had a very very solid career here with the Cowboys.

796
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 6: I think this is his best year. I think it

797
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 6: is by far the best year he's ever had. And

798
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 6: he's he's been so good in both the run and

799
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 6: in the past. And in a year when they had

800
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 6: so much movement because so many.

801
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 9: They were they were bad on defense, he wasn't.

802
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. He He's just played so so well for

803
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 2: them this year.

804
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 4: His only issue in his career here has been injuries

805
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 4: that he and nothing. He's had his moments where he

806
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 4: has to be taken out because he's recovery for whatever

807
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 4: their injury maybe at the time, but again he always

808
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 4: comes back, comes back better. And to think that this

809
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 4: is the year that he's like excelling at everything, it's very,

810
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 4: very impressive and credit to him.

811
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the longevity at his size, I think is

812
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 6: what's so impressive about him, and that he's still doing this.

813
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 9: He's out loud.

814
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 6: Exactly right, and that you got to give credit to

815
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 6: that man. Because the NFL is a hard game and

816
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 6: I love it giving them size to a lot of

817
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 6: these guys, but he's he's one that just keeps getting

818
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 6: better and I respect it. Let's talk about Mozzie Smith

819
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 6: because I was talking about the rush defense. How much

820
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 6: do you think his improved play because I think it

821
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 6: has been improved play has contributed to their.

822
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's it's it's hard because you know,

823
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 3: you're if you if you get to watch the All

824
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: twenty two and you know you people have access to that,

825
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 3: you could see him now getting off the football and

826
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: you could see like the surge and it's and he's

827
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 3: he's you know, he's playing on the opponent's side of

828
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage and not his side of the

829
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. He's getting up field, he's being disruptive,

830
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 3: he's taken up blocks. You know, uh Os is doing

831
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 3: a good job of winning with his one on one blocks.

832
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 3: Heck that one of the sacks, Goldston sack was they

833
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 3: had they went for a rush. It was a fore

834
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 3: man rush. Mazzi was part of the fore man rush.

835
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 3: You know, they usually take him off the field and

836
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 3: put somebody else in. But then Mazzi and Parsons are

837
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,439
Speaker 3: on a twist stunt to the left, Goldston and Os

838
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 3: are on a twist stunt going right, and now they

839
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 3: got Carolina baffled and boom and there there's you know,

840
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 3: Mozzie's working a stunt. He's you know, coming around with part.

841
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 3: So you know they're they're showing a little bit more

842
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 3: confidence in him, much like scoon Maker. You know, Schoonmaker

843
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 3: was close to being inactive every week and now you

844
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 3: know Skoonmakers are part of this. And I think there's

845
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 3: more confidence in Masi in what he's doing. As you know,

846
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: it's not showing up always in the box scores, they say,

847
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 3: but his the play, the level of play is so

848
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 3: much better than where it's been in the past.

849
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 8: One thing about this this defensive line, and I'll speak

850
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 8: on Mazzi really quick.

851
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 9: The U.

852
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 8: He had kind of a funny moment for us in

853
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 8: the press box when he had that one tackle where

854
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 8: he just slung down and then he ran to the

855
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 8: sideline and got oxygen.

856
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: But it showed just how powerful a man he is.

857
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 7: A little guy exactly.

858
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 2: He just slung him like it was a child like

859
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 2: it was. It was amazing.

860
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 8: He was like, But Michael Parsons, you're starting to see

861
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 8: the strength for him that he added over the off season.

862
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 8: You're starting to see that come about.

863
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 9: Now.

864
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 8: He's always been the speed rusher that just can kind

865
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 8: of dip below guys and get around guys. He's maximized

866
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 8: his athleticism through the first three years of his career, so.

867
00:37:54,600 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 4: The sumo workouts helped. But I will say that, hey,

868
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 4: he did his unique kind.

869
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 7: Of training during the.

870
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 8: You're starting to see that power come about. And I

871
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 8: think that's a that's a scary site for opposing offensive

872
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 8: lines because if he can add a power bag to

873
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 8: what he already can do athletically and with his speed rush,

874
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 8: I think, man, he was a problem for those guys yesterday.

875
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 7: He was a big problem Yeah.

876
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 6: Actually I had two other names of guys I wanted

877
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 6: to throw out to you, guys that we haven't talked about.

878
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 6: We talked about Maris, We've now talked about Micah. Let's

879
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 6: talk about Osa. You mentioned him right before that brace

880
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 6: that break, he had four tackles, one sack, four quarterback hits,

881
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 6: one force fumble. He seemed like he was all over

882
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 6: the field, especially in the second half.

883
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: What did you see yesterday from Mosa?

884
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I saw a man deserving of an apology. That's

885
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 7: what I saw.

886
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: But you.

887
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 9: I do it every week he had.

888
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 11: Uh.

889
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 8: He has been one of the more UH pressure generating

890
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 8: defensive interior alignment over the course of the entire NFL.

891
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 8: Since the bye week, he's he's done a really good

892
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 8: job getting after it in the pass rush. And I

893
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 8: think you have mentioned it, Brian about how late in

894
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,479
Speaker 8: the season Osidgiz was kind.

895
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 9: Of gone away fourteen the usually say good night, Yeah.

896
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 7: And that's not happening yet.

897
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 8: So and he's he's been healthy all year, He's played

898
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 8: every game, and uh, he's really starting to stack great efforts.

899
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 8: I think what worked for him in this game is

900
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 8: that he was just simply he was simply quicker than

901
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 8: his opposing matchup, and he's he's a quick guy for

902
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 8: that interior offensive line for to handle, and he was

903
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 8: just getting around guys.

904
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 7: He was throwing guys down.

905
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 6: Uh.

906
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 8: He had a couple of chops where he was able

907
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 8: to get around as well. He looked like an edge

908
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 8: rusher maneuvering from the well he was on.

909
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was.

910
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 6: He was at least one where they had him lined

911
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 6: up at defensive end and Mike had defensive tackle.

912
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: So yeah.

913
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 3: The thing I think that this just goes back to

914
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 3: again was Zimmer. I think Mike does a better job

915
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 3: of what we've seen maybe in the past. And this

916
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 3: is no disrespect to Dan Quinn. I think he hunts matchups,

917
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: you know, and if you if you've watching tape and

918
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 3: they've got bad players, you know.

919
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 9: I was.

920
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 3: I was talking to a buddy of mine who's an

921
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 3: NBA coach, driving over here, and I was talking about,

922
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 3: you know, like, I go, do you guys?

923
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 9: Do you guys? Ever, No, no doc rivers about dog ras,

924
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 9: he goes the uh, the uh.

925
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 3: But he was telling me, he's like listen, I go,

926
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 3: I go, hey, let me ask you a question. NBA

927
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 3: because we were talking about Belichick and I go, in

928
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 3: the NBA, do you guys hunt like if they're bad

929
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 3: players on the on the court. He goes, oh, God,

930
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 3: all the time, you try your best to get your

931
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 3: best players on their bad players. And I think the

932
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: Zimmer's done that. I think they've done that with the offense,

933
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 3: with the with the defensive line. It's like, Okay, we

934
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 3: know we can win a couple of these matchups.

935
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 9: Let's see if we could put our best guys on there.

936
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 3: And it's no disrespect to Dan Quinn, but I always

937
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 3: kind of felt like that Michael Parsons was rushing against

938
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 3: Trent Williams far too many times than what I thought

939
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 3: when like mckivtt's on the other side needed some love,

940
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 3: you know, he needed he needed to have a few

941
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 3: rushes against him. So I feel like they're they're hunting,

942
00:40:58,560 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 3: hunting more matchups.

943
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 4: You know what's impressive with Osa is for a defensive

944
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 4: tackle and you look at his body, just how fast

945
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 4: he actually is and how his body movement the quickness

946
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 4: is so impressive. And I'm super excited for him because

947
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 4: you know, when one you get to meet the person

948
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 4: and you know, just like Jordan Lewis, you love the guy.

949
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 4: Good people, And also when you see them put in

950
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 4: the work and go out there and here during the week,

951
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 4: you're excited for them to be successful. And once again,

952
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 4: when you have other people in the line also making place,

953
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 4: it just it spreads, it spreads around. It creates more

954
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 4: opportunities for everybody else. And now, God, I said this

955
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 4: before and I'll say it again, and it's not gonna

956
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 4: happen this year, But how I would have wished to

957
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 4: see all the starters playing together in this defense and

958
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 4: that wish is not gonna come true. But man, what

959
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 4: an unfortunate season in that aspect for the Cowboys.

960
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 2: It's a missed opportunity that they couldn't control.

961
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 6: But you know, they you look at all the pieces

962
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 6: of this defense and you look at now how Zimmer

963
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 6: is making this thing roll even without all the pieces,

964
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 6: and you're like, man, what if he had all the pieces?

965
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 2: Very very they have been a very, very different.

966
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 3: But you know, let's be honest, too, they had they

967
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 3: had pieces.

968
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 9: Against the Saints, they went out there and laid a

969
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 9: big fat egg.

970
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 6: But isn't part of that though, That's where I say,

971
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 6: you know, that was the the the adapting period where

972
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 6: he was trying to get because that I do know this,

973
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 6: they I do know this. There were people, there were

974
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 6: there were players that weren't necessarily all boy early and

975
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 6: and I think now, I bet you'd have a hard

976
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 6: time finding not one guy that isn't completely bought in.

977
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 2: So I think that's part of it.

978
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 3: I think, you know, after the game, Mike Zimmer and

979
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 3: and and funny, uh, Michael went over and hugged Mike Zimmer,

980
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 3: they were walking off the field arm in arm there

981
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 3: and and and Mike and knows what Zimmer can do

982
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 3: for him, he really does. And no disrespect to Dan

983
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 3: Quinn again, but Mike and knows Mike and knows what

984
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 3: this guy could do.

985
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 9: But they missed an opportunity. They did not get it

986
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 9: coached up fast enough.

987
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 2: That's fair.

988
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 3: They didn't get a player buy in fast enough. They're

989
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 3: getting a player buy in now, but they missed the opportunity.

990
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 3: And that's your job. They have to switch these guys

991
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 3: around and make them feel like, Okay, we're doing this

992
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 3: in the best interest of you and the player buy

993
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: in just or was it taught fast enough or quick enough?

994
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 3: Players didn't adapt until now you're seeing really kind of

995
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 3: the benefits of that.

996
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 4: I'm sure that's something very difficult to do when you're

997
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 4: brand new here obviously not in the NFL, but here

998
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 4: coming in learning this, getting to know the staff, the player,

999
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 4: implementing something new, and getting people to buy in. Like

1000
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 4: you said, uh, that's a hard task and sometimes it

1001
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 4: takes weeks.

1002
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 9: Your job, I get it, but it's your job, it

1003
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 9: really is.

1004
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 7: The best player doesn't show up for OTAs.

1005
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 2: That's that's fair. That's fair.

1006
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 9: That's fair. That is fair. Player buy in, yeah, player

1007
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 9: buy in.

1008
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 3: But also you've got to teach this stuff fast. You know,

1009
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 3: you don't have practices anymore.

1010
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 9: You don't get them.

1011
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 3: You don't get the practice like you need to practice.

1012
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 3: And that's unfortunate. But that player buy in, it might

1013
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 3: have cost him a couple of games. I think that

1014
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 3: maybe maybe not the rape well, the Ravens game they rally,

1015
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 3: you know, but there's some games like that Saints game.

1016
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 22: They want back, they absolutely want Saints Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cincinnati,

1017
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 22: there were games with them, they played well in Cincinnati,

1018
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 22: saying overall, when you look at the team, there are

1019
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 22: games that they look back at the season they're.

1020
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 2: Like, if we could have done this on this Let's not.

1021
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 4: Forget about the offense. No defense. I mean, the defense

1022
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 4: was the one holding in and in most of the season,

1023
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 4: So criticize the offense. But I totally agree with what

1024
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 4: you're saying, Brian. I just feel like it's easier said

1025
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 4: than done.

1026
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, but you're and you're right, but and you're

1027
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 3: fair about You're right, he's fair, you're right fair about that.

1028
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 3: But the thing about it is, you're going to look

1029
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 3: back on the season and it's going to be man, defensively,

1030
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 3: they played so much better, and you're gonna say, well,

1031
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 3: why didn't they play better in Week.

1032
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 9: Two, in Week three, in Week four? You know that's your.

1033

Speaker 6: show today, but tomorrow we are going to take some

1035
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 6: time to really talk about this defense and uh and

1036
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 6: see if if you guys think Mike Zimmer should be

1037
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 6: back next year, read what happens with the head coach?

1038
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:18,399
