Except for oh wait, we're not all live 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.279 and in person because one of us is, uh, you know, 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:03.360 just virtual again. Hey hey, Isaiah, you're looking great down there. 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.720 You're looking nice and sunny and you look fantastic.

It's just a little family vacation, 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:16.160 you know, just taking the family out. They just got 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.360 out of school. You know, we got the season coming up, 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.280 so I'm just you know, a little quick, little getaway 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.240 so I can go ahead and recalibrate and get ready 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.440 to get back to it. I'm impressed. If I were 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.080 doing that, I would not be doing the show today. 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.080 That's dedication. Yeah, I would. I would see you guys 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:32.160 next Monday. That's dedication right there. You know what he 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:37.440 like Bain said, we're here for the people. Why why 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.880 would that the reference? Why why did we have to 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.679 go straight to people and we're here for them? We gotta, 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.360 you know, we gotta have one a show at least. Yeah, 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:50.760 it's fair maybe villain reference, but hey, yeah, no, we 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.960 appreciate your We appreciate your dedication. And how about that 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.120 for the listeners at home, you get to steer still 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.720 here Isaiah stand Back, even though he's a little just, 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.840 we still have him in our hearts here we're talking Cowboys. 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.440 But outside of isaiahs stand back, we've got Rob Phillips, 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.560 heck My Horiston, I'm Kyle Yeoman's driving the bus here 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:12.320 for the next hour. As OTAs begin today here from 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.840 the Star and Firstco. Now, we don't necessarily get a 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.000 chance to watch any of these OTAs at least today, 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:21.160 because media availability is tomorrow and it's raining outside here 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.640 in Frisco, so there's no real look at the Cowboys 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:28.200 team anyways, so OTAs on the horizon, we're gonna kind 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.520 of preview exactly. Hey, there's a good live looking outside. 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.880 Great job Chris Beam and Scott Purcella watching. Yeah, there's 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.800 the Toastito's Championship plaza as it is rainy and stormy, 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.560 nasty outside, but inside we get to talk about OTAs. 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.640 We're gonna preview it coming up here in just a 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.640 couple of minutes. But first I wanted to ask you 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.760 guys a question. I was asked this the other day 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.880 on the Blitz and it's it was a very interesting 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.040 question to me. Katon Gates came up with the question, 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.680 and ultimately it's who has the most pressure? And we 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.480 talked about offense and defense last week, right and we 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.400 talked about how there's different types of pressure on both 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.320 of those sides of the football. But who has the 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:13.440 most pressure from a coordinator standpoint, Dan Quinn or Kellen Moore? 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.239 Kellen Moore entering his third year, dan Quinn of course 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.480 in his first year as the defensive coordinator, different types 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.519 of pressure certainly, But Rob, if you had to put 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.880 your finger on it and you had to select one 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.560 of the two, who has more pressure to succeed heading 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:33.360 into well, this upcoming offseason, this upcoming training camp, than 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.040 preseason than the season. Who would you put it on 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:40.360 dan Quinn? Easy? Easy, dan Quinn, And not that he's 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.320 on the hot seat, but look, he's coming into a 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.680 situation where, hey, this was the problem with the team 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.320 last year. We're bringing you in because this has to 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.280 get fixed if we're going to take it to the 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.200 next level. So and he's here, by the way, because 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.080 he's got a great track record, great resume, but he's 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.120 coming in to a situation where he's got a Kellen Moore, 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.240 doesn't have to change his game, doesn't have to introduce 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.360 his scheme to anybody. He's just got to fine tune things. 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.520 And there are things that they've got to improve on offensively, 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.400 no question about that. But dan Quinn starting from scratch 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.440 in Dallas with a lot of young players and a 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.160 lot to sort out in terms of lineup and get 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.320 everybody on the same page in these OTAs in training camp. 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.760 That's what didn't happen last year. So he's got to 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:26.080 do that here. He so, Hi, I'm captain obvious obviously, 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.600 you know dan Quinn for sure already comes in on 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.200 the hot seat. He sees his predecessor done one and done, 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.200 and he has to do something and he realizes the 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.400 historically bad defense, YadA YadA, YadA, you got him, get 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.800 right this ship right. But if you want to talk 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.360 about someone that should be should feel a little bit 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.800 of pressure, I would say it's Kelly Moore as well. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.920 I mean, even though the offense was middle of the road, 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.400 fourteenth in the league, still he realizes, with all the 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.440 built in excuses from offensive line to dak going down, 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.280 that if he had all of his horses in the stable, 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.560 that they would definitely I'm just gonna say, top ten, 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.720 top five offense, and maybe that could have catapulted you 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.640 to a playoff run. But yes, obviously it's dan Quinn 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.440 because of all the things that he has to fix. 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.640 But doesn't mean that Kellen Moore doesn't have a little 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.599 bit of heat on his back pockets as well. So 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:19.920 I'm gonna let Isaiah answer first, and then I'm gonna 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.960 tell Heck my wife, that's a coward answer or Isaiah, 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.680 what do you think is it Dan dan Quinn or 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:32.560 Kellen Moore in terms of the total pressure that's on them? 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.120 I can't. I can't. Unfortunately, I can't see my boys 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.040 faces more. But I know Heck with probably gave him 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:46.000 the what's not I know, I know him, but no 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.840 the obvious I'm a double back on with my guy, 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.280 heck said on the Captain Obvious. But for for three reasons, 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.320 dan Quinn number one is coming in and he's expected 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.320 to be fixed Felix right, So he's coming in from 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:02.479 a historically bad defense. Not only does the historically bad 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.920 defense coming in on his shoulders, but he also has 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.120 a history of being successful. So people are expecting the 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.640 legion of boom to be present now here in Dallas. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.279 They're expecting that that same type of energy, that same 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.800 type of type of vibe. So that's the expectation of 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.880 his history, both here in Dallas and also coming from 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.919 Seattle in Atlanta. Number two, he has to come in 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.320 and create a culture. Right there is there was no 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.240 culture on that side of the ball, so he is 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.560 going to be tasked with creating a culture. And then 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.880 number three, he has to not only bring the guys 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.560 that were ready on a roster, but he also is 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.160 bringing some of his previous guys. Oh and by the way, 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.160 let's ask the Ricky's in there. So the onboarding process 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.680 and the stress of all that together obviously makes him 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.840 the number one choices terms of who has the most 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.400 stressful job coming in. So this is why I asked 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.719 that question because I had a feeling that the easy 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.080 answer was going to be dan Quinn, and I was 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.560 hoping that Hackman would also go with dan Quinn. But 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.160 he kind of went with both of them at the 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.880 same time. But I didn't think it was a coward 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.520 I said, you said it was. It was a little 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.840 It was just kind of you said dan Quinn, but 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.520 both basically is why I thought it was a coward answer. 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:08.960 I wanted you to go one way or the other. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.240 Is it dan Quinn specifically? What did you say? I say, 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.360 it sounds like Kyle trying to tell tell her to 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.560 tell the people that you're playing it safe. Sir, Yeah, 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.200 that's what I was saying. I mean, to choose a side. 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.160 I want you to be one certain. I mean, it's 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.000 it's heat on both of them. What are you talking about. 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.560 You go six and ten, you don't have the success 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:32.280 that you want. Your offense is abysmal. Also with your defense, 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.720 they get all of the heat on them because they're 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.920 historically bad. But because of the quarterback carousel and your 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.000 offense being dysfunctional. U just put them both in the pot. 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.240 One person doesn't miss heat over another one. Kyle. Okay, 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:47.960 so don't start no sh you won't be no I 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:52.720 this morning. That's fair, Okay. So yes, Basically, the reason 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.200 why I asked this question is because the easy answer 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.360 is always going to be Dan Quinn, right. Yeah, I 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.120 mean it is. He's got the fixed Felix like like 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.400 Isaiah said, he's got that mentality of having to come in. 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.840 And I don't know if the legion of boom is 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.560 the expectation. That's surely the goal. We would love for 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.600 that to happen. I don't know if that's the expectation. 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.720 I think the real answer is Kellen Moore here and 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.880 the reason why. And I wanted you to kind of 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:18.880 switch it up a little bit and you put out 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.160 the number of fourteenth in the league. You can't do 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.880 that again if you're Kellen Moore right, Nope, cannot do 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.920 that again. If the team, if this defense is not 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.200 necessarily the same as what it was in twenty twenty, 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.040 if it's a little bit better, then I think you're fine. 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.440 But it doesn't have to go from thirty second or 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.240 I guess twenty eighth is what it ultimately was. Defensively 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.680 doesn't have to go from twenty eighth to third. It 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.079 has to go from what twenty eighth or probably fifteenth, sixteen, seventeenth, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:48.480 so be a competitive team. That's because it's a multi 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.800 year project. And that's my question is who has more 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.680 pressure in twenty twenty one. Dan Quinn has a multi 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.680 year project on his hand. Kellen Moore has been handed 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.920 the keys to a ferrari where all of the all 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.040 of the tools, all of the weapons are all there, 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.480 they're all ready to roll. And if he doesn't succeed, 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.560 I think it's more on the offensive coordinator than it 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.720 is on the defensive coordinator. Asiah See, Kyle, I don't 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:14.200 I don't know if I can get down with you now. 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.240 I'm as as they said, and white man can jump. 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.000 I'm hearing you, but I don't know if I'm listening 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.160 to you on that see. And the reason now that 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.920 you're not you're Jimmy, But listen to Jimmy here. But 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.760 you know the reason why would say that our defense 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.520 doesn't a great movie. The reason why we say our 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.000 defense doesn't need to make these huge strides is because 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.280 of our expectation of greatness on our offense. That's the 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.200 reason why we say our defense doesn't have to go 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.760 from twenty eight up to the top ten. If we 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.600 if our offense wasn't what it is already and our 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.840 expectation wasn't is what it is already for for our offense, 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.200 we would be saying, Okay, we need our defensive go 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.480 from twenty eight to top ten. But we're not because 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.160 we have an expectation of greatness on that side of 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.800 the ball. And look, before Dak Prescott went down, even 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:03.280 when Tyrn Smith out, they were averaging well over thirty 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.360 points through five games. Yeah, sure, now is it perfect? 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.000 It's not. Yeah, they had to And by the way, 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.560 like that one in what was it where they one 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.120 in four, two and three start two and two three 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.240 almost one in four. Don't put that all on the 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:21.360 defense because Zeke was fumbling the ball, Dak was fumbling 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.480 the ball. There were some picks, there were some mistakes 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.640 that were handing the ball back to the opponents and 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.079 making things harder on the other on the defense here, 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:33.400 but they showed they could pile up yards and points. 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.920 They need to get off to better starts. They need 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.000 to stay healthy, and they need to be better in 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.800 the red zone. Red zone has been a problem for 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:42.679 really as long as Kellen Moore has been here, and 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.360 I know, you know, he kind of chuckles about it 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.760 when he gets asked about it. Sometimes it's a situate. 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.440 There's different reasons why it doesn't work. But I think 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.920 they were twenty eighth in red zone efficiency last year's 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.400 scoring touchdowns at like fifty percent. But who has more 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.440 built in excuses? I mean for as far as guys 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.839 going down for the defense, right, and so you look 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.559 at the defense and you say, all right, well, dan Quinn, 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.840 you got things that you have to fix wholesale, you know, 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.480 for the offense, you get Dak back, you get your 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.680 tackles back, you solidify the swing tackle position. You're cooking 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.199 with Chrisco and so, you know, you talk about numbers 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.880 we've last year going becoming into twenty twenty. All we 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.120 were talking about is the numbers that Dak put in 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.800 the previous season and why that didn't equate to a playoff. 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.640 All right, So is it the good offense beats bad 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.000 defense anytime? Good offense? Which one do you prefer? Good 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.800 offense good defense? Which one is gonna win you championship. 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.960 And I think in the NFL today everyone would side 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.520 with a good offense, and I think we've shown that 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.560 we have that, especially with the points in the yards 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:44.680 that we've put up. See And that's kind of my 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:48.120 point here is, Yes, the offense was to blame for 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.600 the first five games prior to Dak going down, and 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.640 then after that injuries kind of snowballed into the season. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.880 That was, but it had the numbers. This offense was there, 0:11:58.120 --> 0:11:59.719 and I mean I was questioning on the on the 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.600 check at a moment Ago says, when has this offense 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.640 ever been a ferrari? You just look around. I mean 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:08.160 you have Dak Prescott, Isszko, Elliott, Amari Cooper, Cedee Lamb, 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.400 Michael Gallup. That's good enough to be a Ferrari. And 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.720 then if your offensive line is healthy, you can add 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.520 to it. And so that's the nitrous to the Ferrari. 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.600 I guess if we're gonna stick with the metaphor fast 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:22.320 and furious, you have the right tools, well run movies. Yeah, right, 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.720 you have the right tools. You need the right driver, 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:31.040 And I'm not necessarily convinced that through two seasons, Kellen 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.480 Moore has shown Hey, I'm the guy that can make 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.880 this thing go no matter what happens. Because once Dak 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.200 went down, sure expectations change, but there was a lot 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.040 of struggle on that side of the football for a 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.520 long time, not only a struggle for numbers, but a 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:48.280 struggle for creativity, a struggle for rhythm. Anything you needed 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.280 Kellen Moore to find as the offensive coordinator wasn't necessarily 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.160 there and wasn't consistent. And so that's why I say 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.199 the pressure is not on him. He's not safe by 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.920 any means. Neither is Dan Quinn. We've already seen that 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.760 the Cowboys can replace after a year of a defensive 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.360 coordinated right now, I don't think that's going to happen. 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:07.880 I don't think either one of these guys are going 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.679 to go anywhere. I think they're safe. Yeah, I think 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:18.719 they're both very I think so, yeah, go ahead and there. No, 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:20.679 I mean I was I was questioning the use of 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:22.680 I know he has a huge vocabulary, but the words 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.839 safe right there, I was kind of questioning it because 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:26.520 both of these guys are locked in loaded for at 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.280 least a couple of years. Then Quinn's obviously he can 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:30.920 come in and do the he can have the worst 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.360 defensive the league and he's still gonna be there. The 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.360 following season you started looking at, you know, another side 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:39.680 of the ball, and yeah, absolutely, we said that about 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.200 last year. I'm pretty sure. No, no, no, no no, no, 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.480 nobody ever said that Mike Nolan. Mike Nolan doesn't Mike 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.560 Nolan was expected to come in and contribute and try 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.439 to turn this thing around. But I don't think when 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.000 you compare the expectation levels of Quinn and Nolan, I 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.480 don't even think they're in the same ballpark. I just honestly, 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.720 I really don't. Uh. And then you know, Mike Nolan 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.280 him didn't bring his whole his whole defense with him either, seemingly. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.720 So I think that, you know the expectation of Quinn, 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:10.920 I think they're both locked in. But Quinn has a 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.040 lot on them and I don't disagree with you. Um 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.200 you know in terms of in terms of an office 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:16.440 side of the ball, that he has a lot of 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.360 pressure on him as well. But if you think about it, 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.800 how many games have we had with an experienced Ceedee Lamb, 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.280 a healthy officer line and our full three wide receivers 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.040 and Dak Prescott all healthy at the same time, hasn't 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.600 happened yet. Yeah, it hasn't happened. We haven't seen it. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.440 So that's why I say that there's less pressure on 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.600 that side because guess what, nobody. You could hand the 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.280 ball off to either one of those guys and somebody's 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:39.960 gonna shoot. You can hand it off to Lyo Collins 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:41.880 and he gonna do something with the ball. Welst, we 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.200 have a healthy, healthy offense. We're gonna be good. You 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:50.280 remember when, uh in twenty sixteen, when yeah, there's a 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:58.600 party out there, I say bumping. Do you remember in 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:02.640 twenty sixteen at training camp when Romo got hurt and 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.880 there was a press conference and they were asking the 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.800 Jones Is what to do now at quarterback? And would 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.480 they would they be interested in Nick Foles possibly and 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:16.000 and Kellen Moore. Jerry had the famous line, we'd like more, 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.480 we like more. Yeah, And it turned out they also 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.880 like Dak Prescott because that's what happened. Yeah, Moore got 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:23.360 hurt a few days later and they became the Dak 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.760 Prescott Show and the rest is history. But they love 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.120 Kellen Moore. Now they don't done. They don't just like him. 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.600 They'd love him. I think you talk about bright offensive 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.520 minds around the league who's trying to find the next 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.440 Sean McVeigh. They think he's got that type of ability. 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.440 So I don't think he's going anywhere in terms of 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.080 play calling, and proved it on January second of this 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.680 year by extending his contract. Yes, you know, when all 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.680 of the whispers and everything was going on about him 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:52.960 possibly moving to being the Boys head coach, they said, 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.760 I shut that down real quick. Let's go ahead and 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.360 get this extension out because you know, because of what 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.040 he's done in this offense. Look, guys, putting all of 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.000 this together is what Kellen Moore is charged with. You know, 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.880 let's get put this offense together and have the rhythm 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.480 that we expect Last year. Man, let's just call it 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.520 a one off. With having four different quarterbacks starting, it's 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.320 really hard to get any continuity synergy between any any 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.200 of your lineups that you put in. I think if 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.760 we go back over the season, maybe the Pittsburgh game, 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.640 a loss, was probably the first time that we saw 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:31.320 the offense look anything similar to an NFL offense because look, man, 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.560 with d Nucci, with a lot of the other guys 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.880 that were in there. They just didn't have that rhythm. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.720 So the offseason right now OTAs this pair of month 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.040 for the success for both of these That's a great point. Like, 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:43.800 I don't even know if we really saw how they 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.360 want to play with Kellen Moore Collen plays with this 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.840 offense last year because they put themselves behind the eight 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.360 ball with turnovers and they got off to your point, 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.440 with rhythm, they need to get off the better starts offensively. 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.760 That small sample size didn't get off to good starts, 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.880 but they showed they could move the ball while Dak 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.240 was in there. They just turned it over and then 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:06.400 they become a past happy offense. Then when Dad gets hurt, 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.280 they have to become more of a run you know, 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:09.800 take the ball out of the air of the ball 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.359 type offense run first. So I think there's more of 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.479 a balance there that we haven't seen yet with this offense. 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.120 And I'm with Heck and I'll make excuses for him. 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.639 When you start eight different offensive line combinations, Isaiah, and 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.239 like twelve different overall combinations within games, I don't know 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.560 how you how you sustain anything offensively the last eleven 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:34.080 games of the season. No, absolutely, I mean the expectation 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.440 last year was I mean, you heard Missus Jones say 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.040 it himself. You know the level of expectations has changed, 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.800 right that that has moved now after Dak got hurt. 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.720 But to your point in terms of Kella Moore, have 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.160 we had the opportunity to really see what he wants 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:47.680 to do with this offense? I say the answer is 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.000 note because from the first game, Sho, we had guys 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.800 going down, right, we had guys going down immediately, you 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.680 know Jarwin going down, and you know it's like that 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.840 changes everything. Now with the hick do we have in Schultz, 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.640 let's figure it out, right, But we haven't had any 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.520 games with an experienced CD Lamb, So a solid three 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.400 three receivers out there would experience a healthy Jarwin right, 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.320 and we got shots backing him up. Now all of 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.240 our offensive line coming back and Dak coming back with 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.159 a vengeance. I'm excited to see what these guys are 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.040 gonna do. But I do not agree that he has 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.680 the most pressure on him. And with all of that, 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.280 you have a Namara Cooper that has eleven hundred yards receiving. 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.400 You have an Ezekiel Elliott with all of his fumbles 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.360 six yards seven yards away from going over a thousand Yeah, 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.200 Cede Lamb, that's right on the cuspoper of a thousand 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.520 gallop all of the other guys that have contributed on 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.359 this offense, even in the down years. So it's hard 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:42.119 to say. Look, Kellen Moore has to give us more. Obviously, 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.080 you feel as though with getting his weapons back or 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.160 getting Dak Prescott back to navigate this offense, you gotta 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.280 feel good about his job and what he's gonna do. Yeah, 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.080 I still want more. That's my biggest thing is I 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:57.040 want I want m O R E from m double 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.240 o R. I want more from Kellen Moore. I want 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.680 to see the creativity. I want to be able to 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.560 rely on him as a play caller, as an offensive 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.399 coordinator and say, hey, whenever things go wrong, don't worry, 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.840 we got Kellen Moore. He's got this. He's a creative mind. 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.200 I want that kind of confidence in my offensive coordinator 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.200 and I don't have that right now. I'm not saying 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:20.439 he's not a great young coordinator. I think he is. 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:25.640 I think he does have tools to become Want that guy, Yes, 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.320 that's what I want. You got that guy it Kello 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:34.480 and a lot of cool stuff with the Nucci was 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.359 doing Uncle Riko on the sideline within an inchies what 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:42.240 he was doing, Oh my goodness. Yeah, where can they 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.639 be more creative? You know? And that's tough because, like 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.760 you said, we haven't seen a full fledge or a 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:53.040 toolbox for Kellen Moore to get creative with it. And 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:56.760 I think it's more so of going back to whenever 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.720 he didn't have those tools, whenever he didn't have the tackles. 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.160 How how do you find a way to make Brandon 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.840 Night and Terrence Steals successful? And I think we saw 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:06.640 a little bit of that maybe during the three game 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.680 win streak right at the end. But once again, who 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:12.760 were we beating? The Cowboys were beating They be a Wincinnati, 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.880 they were beating Philadelphia. Yeah, you weren't beating those those 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:19.440 big time teams. And then also creativity on the offensive 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.880
